Just add. Are the Omrons easy? I.e is it obvious which wire solders to what? Can you get replacement board plugs and wires and if so what are they called? Thanks for your help.

Sorry guys, should of been more specific. One button on the throttle shows on,one button the stick shows on, One works intermittently which is the launch button. Causes embarrassing launches! I took the stick apart and found the wires to the red launch button stretched. TM are a pain to deal with. 17 emails since beginning of December.They seem to answer one email a day if your lucky. To cap they have sent the wrong button and want photo evidence. Have started to replace buttons like for like but maybe I should replace with better buttons if I can find. Annoying they cut corners on something so important.

Invested alot of money in this stick and now finding myself onto TM support who are sending me three replacement buttons which are on all the time. Anyone else had this? For a quality product I did not expect to have to do this after 18 months service!

Yep,got 16gb ram,running on I5 3.5,nvidia970 all on ssd's Might run a repair and see if their is any difference,

I love flying on the Fishbed Vs F5E servers. But the FPS and how jerky DCS runs in the mig make it very difficult to see anything and takes a lot of pleasure away. Fly the F5 and any other modules in the same server and no problems. Is anyone else seeing the same performance issues,in multiplayer with the mig??

Well, Reinstalled Windows10,DCS and drivers. Treated myself to another ssd so now everything is running on ssd instead of just dcs,with back up to hdd. Everything is running much more smoothly,with higher settings and fps

Yep, tried all suggested but no difference. Changing the settings to flat and hdr off, did help a fraction but still very notchy and stutters.

Cheers will give it a go. Have found that DCS is only using 6gb of the 16gb and 25% CPU. Have seen other topics on this and wondered if this was something to do with it.

Thanks Big Newy. Really appreciate your help with this.

thanks for your suggestion. I did try it and reinstalled just the appropriate driver but unfortuantely it has made no difference.

Hi, I currently have very jerky graphics in single player and mulitplayer and I cannot fathom out why. It really is taking away the enjoyment of flying. I notice the frame rates jumps up and down all the time. It seems to be since the last update and even when I run a very simple mission. I have tried playing with the settings in game and on the control panel of the graphics card to no avail. I am running DCS on SSD with about 70fps the following spec- Intel I5 4690 16gb Ram Nvidia GTX970 Single Gsync Monitor Anyone else expereincing this? Can anyone help? Thanks

I'm with you on this. The playing field tends to be level and you have proper merged battles rather than spamming bvr missiles. I have enjoyed flying on this server in both the mig and the f5. I'm much more successful in the f5. I don't know what that says about me.

Just to add. I use emergency jettison to get rid of my tanks quickly when in a2a format.

Yes, I'm one of those guys. Have also had it in singleplayer so I don't think its the server.

Thrustmaster Warthog about one year old. I hope it isn't the stick. Haven't had it on other modules so as yet

I have had this happen a few times. Flying along and hit master arm and the missiles fire on their own after a couple of seconds. I have cleared the mapping on my warthog stick and remapped but it still does it sometimes. You end up firing all your missiles or worse,shoot your own team. Anyone else had this?

Yep, I'm glad i'm not the only one. Flight models are vastly different.

Has anyone else noticed the ridiculous performance of the AI F-5? Been playing around with the Air to Air instant mission to cut my teeth dogfighting and the AI F-5 can start from near stall, stand on it's tail, go vertical and hit over 70,000 feet in seconds. Know it's early access and it could be a ED issue but kinda makes mockery of a fair fight. Or maybe it's not a F-5 but the mythical Mig-28 I am fighting? :helpsmilie:

WOW :P

Cheers, Yep, pretty much what I do. Found that low altitude looking up tends to be easier to pick up. Happy with a 5 to 1 kill ratio today. 3 missile shots and two I tempted straight into the SAM battery's so I'm taking them.

I am still having mixed results but my biggest problem is still eyeballing the opposition. I get eyes on and loose them. Any tips for picking them up and keeping eyes on?

Not had a radar kill against a f5 yet. Tend to just take heaters.

Yep, Have found climbing turns are a good counter. If the f5 tries to follow then he just does'nt have the energy and end up slow and vunerable. Have got two kills like this.

What you are saying does strike a chord. I do not have the Tiger so don't know it's capability. I have found that getting into a direct fight can be dicey and once one is on my six my best course is to try and force a overshoot which can be risky, I have ended up stopping the engine and stalling the 21 a few times and ended up in the drink as the F5E seems more to have a much faster roll rate and faster turn rate. What I struggle with is the visibility out of the 21. I find it a struggle to see especially at distance with the dirty, old front screen.:megalol: Do you use radar guided or heaters on hit and run?

As a new pilot to the Mig21 (Have had the module a while but not flown properly) I am still learning the aircraft and it's vices. I must say,I can echo the chorus of how good this module is. Can people post their knowledge and experience on getting the upper hand against the F5E as I seem to have pretty mixed results.I but put most of that down to my own inexperience not the Mig.
