Thanks

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to make presets for the loadout so that in PvP i don't have to waste time to manually select the weapons i want ? thanks

AS the EF 2000 is still in service currently, how on earth would the Devs get accurate data to make it PFM and the equivalent for the avionics ? the EF 2000 is like the rafale and we all know thats its currently impossible to make a PFM and accurate avionics due to the lack of data

WHat do you mean by that ?

thanks, thats good to know, however you will have to maintain lock longuer i presume before it goes pitbull as it'll have to travel further ? I tried to set the target size to low this WE as i was told that it will go pitbull at the last moment so the foe will have less time to defeat the missile but maybe it was a coincidence but i felt like i got less hit on targets. What the difference between small, Medium and large anyway ?

thank you. the test above is at level so of course there is only one parameter to consider: the air density. My question is more about when there is a huge altitude difference between you and the target. For example you shoot at 5000 and the target is at 30 000ft, sure the missile will have less air density when climbing but will also have to fight gravity Now lets reverse, you fire at 30 000ft and the target is at 5000ft, this time the missile will see densier ( more dense ?) air but the gravity will be helping. Which case will have the better range ?

Thanks, didn't know that. Let's say you have to evade a missile before the SD-10 goes pitbull: 1) Will the missile be lost or 2) will it switch automatically to pitbull mode and try to re acquire the target ?

yeah at the same time it has to fight gravity. missile profile are already very aerodynamic friendly so for me it's about gravity

Hello gents, I was surprised to get a PL-5 kill at 9+Nm with the ennemy being above me (FL240 / i was at FL110) therefore the rnage is greatly redueced due to gravity not helping. I was like no way i could get a kill but being out of SD-10, that was my only hope before trying to evade the missile. Guess what, i was shocked when i got the notification of the kill (4YA PvP server). My bet is that he didn't see is Fox 2 launched and as the F16 doesn't have a Missile Warning System lkike the JF-17 for fox 2, he didn't know that he was flying straight into the PL5-EII. Is it possible for a PL5 to be able to track by IR a aircraft at 9Nm away and having to climb a lot ? could be a glitch ? nullnullnull

i've been flying on 4YA for almost a month now on PvP, and even if the skill level of those fighter are average ( i consider myself bad as i've started DCS 1 months ago), it's almost impossible to get a kill above 20Nm even at 30 000 ft as the other players will defend. You might get 35+Nm shots against poor IA ? I can confirm that the SD-10 are beast in dogfight, never missed so far when i'm in No Escapoe Zone Off topic but i just got my luckiest PL5 II kill in PvP at 10Nm..... nullI guess he didn't see me shooting the PL-5 and as it was a Fox 2 and the F16 b50 doesn't have a Missile warning system for Fox 2. nullnull

Well the F14 is far superior of these aircrafts including the F1, with its Phoenix missiles and AIM 7 or 120, i would destroy every foe

Thanks for your inputs

I see so it would not be of any help on the Cold war server especially on enigma server as you most aircraft wont be able to display friendly or foes. I still havent flown the plane in PvP server as i wouldn't be able to tell which aircraft is freindly or foe in BVR and even in ACM

Just read the last changelog and i see IFF being added? Did the F1 had IFF back in the day and how does it display friendly or Foe giving the basic HUD and Radar screen ??

Hi guys, Quite a newbie in DCS. i wondering whats the best mode for BVR in PvP between RWS and TWS. RWS avantages ( for me): one tap on TWS UP to bug the target to steer and launch a missile information on when the missile goes pitbull information when the missile is supposed to hit the target ability to bug a second target and go to DTT and easily switch between the 2 with TMS RIGHT RWS Drawback ( for me): Radar seems to lose lock more easily cant bug mulitple targets goes automatically in STT when range is below 10 or 5 Nm ( Ennemy is warned) TWS avantages for me: able to bug several target (even if i find it useless in PvP as its chaotic, you dont have time to bug and launch missiles on 4+ targets TWS drawback for me: need to press TWS UP " 3 Time before being able to steer and launch a missile no cue on when the missile goes into pitbull I tend to only use RWS only so far but i would like to know which mode do more expericences F16 pilots use in PvP. So far i only play on the 4YA PvP server and i found that 20 vs 20 is chaotic as hell especially when nobody uses SRS to communicate. In a couple of weeks i'll try the GS PvP Server but with up to 64 players, it seems that it would be worst than 4YA

hello gents I'm new to DCS and the F18. So far i kind of do okay during the downwind to get on speed AoA but in the base turn, my Aoa gets in the 10-11° territory even with lots of power witrh my airspeed increasing and during the rollout, I start balloning like a mad man... and i'm at -5° in short final..... Open to advices

Thanks, will try it this evening after work

Thanks for your input, will try. whats the slew control. i only have bind the radar X et Y axis on my X56 throttle for the radar operation

not surprising, the AIM-120c can sustain like 60G

just tried that but every time i'm stuck in slew mode.... even when pressing the OSB to manually change the submode, its stays on SLEW

i have a hard time to follow the eenmies plane lol

On that screenshot above, i pressed every TMS switch and nothing changed and i don't know why, i've lost several dogfigt because i was unable to get a radar lock when in dogfight mode

thats a weird thing, if your AOA is below the Stall AoA, you can't stall, even at level wing, i was still "stalling"

thanks

I didn't understand how i crashed at the end, my speed was above 300 KIAS but i dropped like a potato
