Sweep

vEagle Gang stopping by, check the pfp yeah we lift bro. Do you? Y'all know what the difference between engineering grad students and lowly bachelors-holders is? The latter know when to drop the sort and switch targets, because we actually play the sim. To the point: Source the claims about the Flanker's perceived issues, or stuff like F-15/18 where appropriate, and people will take you seriously. Its really that simple, man! Dissertations on basic aero don't provide substantive argumentation for why the sim is wrong or not - it attempts to beef up personal credibility at the expense of the discussion. Or something like that IMO, anyway, nothing that ain't been pointed out already I guess. I'd also be careful to note certain features (tm) about certain aircraft (tm) that may affect certain flight regimes (tm). Funny though that the Eagle has pretty unremarkable wings...eh?

Sweeper - Blue Reserve F-16 or F-15

OP you realize your very first post in this thread refutes your point, right? The 120D started testing back then. It entered service within the past few years. You're gonna need a Viper from 2017 at least, AFAIK, if you want 120D. That's totally ignoring the apparent lack of data on how the 120D works.

Left alt F1 removes cockpit and leaves VSD + HUD afaik.

Well that's historically quite accurate, tbh. And, umm...

Sweeper MiG-29S (reserve) :joystick:

In America, you follow guidelines. But in Soviet Russia, Comrade Weta, Guidelines follow YOU. :P

Coz it's good for learning fundamentals of BVR. And besides that, shooting Sparrows at Redheads is just plain fun.

Replace your Harrier with an F-35B and maybe you'll get Xrays. :megalol:

2560x1080 checking in. Poor man's ultrawide for the win.

That'd be nice. Considering we got the Lima and the 7H...

You mean Cope India '04 before the AESAs went into service? I mean, I guess any Russian radar could see an Eagle further than a radar that didn't quite exist... :megalol:

GG guys. I concede the election for "Ruling Party of the AOR" to Blufor. I finally got an A/A kill in a TF-51D! Very satisfied with the opportunity to fly Red Air this round and poke some Eagles, Hornets, and an unlucky Huey's tailrotor...

Some kinda unpopulated SA-__ site?

:thumbup:

Well, SOME Cessna's do shoot missiles...

If your target is circling he might be passing through the "DCS Notch" - Doppler Notch but worse. Sparrows really don't like that.

Yes. The 9X has thrust vectoring, different fins, much better seeker (it should be extremely hard to defeat with countermeasures, if not impossible in some circumstances, idk how ED will simulate it), expanded seeker FOV, expanded WEZ, etc. If the radar was finished I'd say it'd be a total gamechanger, but right now with the ACM modes not really working...IDK. It's gonna be a mean missile though with or without JHMCS.

Bug 1 merged, hostile, "Meh"....Fox 2.

I think it is visible, just really washed out.

All the Flanker drivers are like "xdddddd don't merge" :D I say merge... But...

No, they're just bigger in DCS. Look at the F-15's belly in-game sometime for example. I'd pull up a screen of the F-18 but I'm pressed for time. Probably the same way on the Hornet model too. DCS simulates the 'big' flares (I can't remember the designation lmao)...Ya know, without any real benefit of having them. Remember, countermeasures in DCS are quite simplified, after all. There are some other, smaller types that could be 'simulated' instead IIRC. And who doesn't want an A-10 with ~400 flares? :D

Real pilots?

Because the P was basically an export missile.
