Does both the side and mission year play a role for the 430?

Missiles do not seem to react on jamming. The only thing you may achieve against those modules is braking the lock eventually when switching the jammer on or off.

It is way easier in DCS than that. As per a 3rd party developer, which unfortunately I cannot find any more, every aircraft has a jamming flag which is either on or off, nothing in between. That means every jammer has the same strength and every jammer is noise jamming only, without any directional limitations. Now it is up to the module itself, how it deals with a jamming aircraft. As noise jamming basically floods the range information with an own generated signal, result should be range information lost. In the MiG-21 and some other modules, this is represented by multiple contacts in a straight line from the target. This is also verified by the real MiG-21 manual. In that aircraft, you can engage a jamming filter, which will reduce the radar picture to one contact again, but displayed in the middle of the radar screen, hence still no range information. In the JF-17, it seems the lost range indication is displayed by a jumping target, which also seems a plausible reaction. In all teen series modules, except the F-15, this effect is not modeled, hence they have a huge advantage, as they still will see the correct range. To be honest, this is a total laziness and should not make it through QA, but that is not my decision. All in all DCS is very restricted when it comes to jamming. Other jamming modes are already 50 years old and older and by now disclosed. See THIS post by Hiromachi about the SPS-141 pod of the MiG-21.

Uiuiui, die neue Map ist aber... uninteressant. Es ist zwar schön, dass es etwas neues umsonst gibt. Mir fällt aber spontan so gar keine Möglichkeit ein, dort Spaß zu haben. Sieht für mich eher nach einer Map aus, wo eine F-14 Fliegenklatsche spielt.

And the MiG-21 and the MiG-19 and the Mirage, so basically all older modules, with radar.

Thats just wrong. The RP-22 does have a locked beam. Its just that it is a mono pulse radar, that the Grom cannot ride that beam.

Whats pretending to be an MF by putting on locked beam? Thats something the bis can do very well.

Very clever, pissing everyone of so they leave the server was always the best way to play a multiplayer game. :doh:

And the monopulse-radar RP-22 of the MiG-21Bis cannot produce a beam to guide it. So either the book is wrong, or the late MiG-21 versions could carry it but not launch and guide it, which makes it utterly useless.

Wäre grundsätzlich auch interessiert.

It depends on the settings of the last person to save the mission. Anyhow it is broken at the moment, so do not expect it to work.

Which is not how it is supposed to be. The pipper should stay fixed unless in gyro mode.

Hi, after fiddling with it for a while, I found the "Realistic ASP IR A-A Missile Recticle" option to have no effect anymore. I have tried following situations, all with it enabled in my own game settings: -MP Server hosted by someone else -MP Server hosted by me, with a mission made by myself -MP Server hosted by me, with a mission made by someone else -MP Server hosted by me, with a mission made by someone else, but with me resaving the mission -Offline with a mission made by myself -Offline with a standard mission This very much is a realism killer.

Have you ever tried to disable weapons in DCS? If not, sorry but do not comment, if you know nothing. It really is a PITA and will hurt every mission builder. At the end it will be like all unrealistic nonsense options: The MP server mission creators will not bother with it and all that unrealistic stuff gets used on a regular basis. See the Mirage missile warning system (never used on that model) and the F-16 with its AGM-154B (again never used). So we have a little bit of unrealistic BS here and there and well if we already have, why not add some more... I say remove all that crap and keep DCS to its name.

Leider reichen die 16GB wirklich nicht ganz. Meistens liege ich bei so ca. 18GB. Ich rieche einen Komplott mit den Speicherherstellern ;) Übrigens kenne ich auch mehrere Spiele die ohne SSD kaum laufen.

Unfortunately I cannot find it anymore. I am rather sure though it was in the F-14B section.

Thank you, that is really useful information. What you read form German MiG-21 pilots, the critical phase was acceleration above mach 1. The time you need for that step basically defines what top speed you will reach before your fuel limit. This itself was heavily dependent on how good the nose cone system was tuned.

Disabling weapons is currently such a mess in DCS, that I also rather see it removed.

More like a screwdriver, but yes like that. This is where R2D2 would come in handy.

If this missile was not used on a MiG-21bis, I do not see any reason to include it. There is already way to much unrealistic stuff which I rather see removed than even more added.

Is a J-7III a MiG-21bis?

It should not, but if I recall correctly it did at least in the past.

Did you turn the course indicator in the right direction? It is a common mistake to turn it into the opposite direction.

Its not an unwritten law and the MiG-21 actually works quite different (as an example). Actually I do prefer this over the described behaviour as used in the F-14.

I think I have to work on my Russian again :smilewink:
