Almost all modern aircraft (70`s onward) Hit a MAX Q KIAS limit or component temperature limit well before drag/thrust would stop them accelerating. The Hornet doesn`t come with a speed limiter..so if a pilot isn`t paying attention you can exceed VNE, in real life the airframe people would probably be yelling for your head while they do the overstress checks.

Since the last patch i`d have to say the Viggen, i`ve suffered pilot fatalities during a 3g landing, it has become ridiculously fragile.

Maybe because Hornet players have been in Early release for nearly 2 years and still don`t have a lot of basic functionality? This is DCS` way of saying sorry?

Either its off or the Tomcat is, park a pair of tomcats on cats 1&2 and somebody has to keep their wings folded.

I wouldn`t complain too loudly or they might fix the current bug where R-27ERs are acting like ETs and are homing in on a target without illumination.

Using current Beta version, at around 35K 28NM from ship target south of Garuda on the caucasus map, decided to sequence fire AGM-84s at 2 second intervals. On pressing pickle for the 4th AGM-84 the game CTD. No crash files generated, so unable to attach any tracks.

Having compared the Harpoon to either the RB-04 or RB-15, its a bad joke at the moment. If i have to kill a ship i load up my Viggen as its going to wreck it with at most 2 hits and those missiles are much more likely to get through. As with a lot on the F/A-18 module at the moment its overdue for some love.

I too am glad Heatblur did this, i was about to buy the module when the system said i had a license. Having played it for over 10 hours now, i`m not buying it. I just can`t live with how utterly terrible Jester is, the inability to jump in the back in multiplayer and the obvious lack of humans who want to play RIO. However i will look favourably on other heatblur modules that don`t require multiple humans to play.

Tried taking it on with HARMS..every single one smacked into the ship at the waterline and did zero damage.

I saw a post ages ago that they were concentrating on the Lightning pod fuctionality as that is used a hell of a lot more in the real world than the ground radar.

Its not the size of the warhead that kills you, its what it propels..you are extremely unlikely to suffer real damage at altitude from mere blast. Its why warheads have nasty tricks like expanding continous rod or titanium shrapnel. AMRAAM and sidewinder have been going after the pilot for decades..its why they have the optical sensors on the sides..sidle upto the pilot (actually wait for 2 consecutive laser pulse returns) and apply a titanium buzzsaw to the face. Having said that the probability of pilots surviving is surprisingly high..its very difficult to kill a jet in such a way there isn`t time for the pilot to get out.

Disregard, its the JF-17 module,I`m running the current stable build and somehow i`m getting cross version multiplay on some of the servers. My version is getting a response it doesn`t recognise from a beta version and its crashing the program.

Sorry to say this BIGNEWY but this CTD isn`t generating any crash files at all. I have 4 crash zip files in that directory all relating to being on a server that reset. In my experiments to see what was going on i experienced the CTD about 25 times and the last crash file i have is dated over a week ago. Whatever is going on is taking down DCS so completely it can`t even generate its error files. Just did a further 15 multiplayer server tests, if there are no F-16s or JF-17s on the server i have no issues..unfortunately i haven`t been able to find a server that had a 16 or a 17 on its own to confirm which module appears to be causing my issue, none of the CTDs i suffered generated any crash files.

Turning datalink on or off is causing a CTD for me on multiplayer servers. After several hours of experimenting it only seems to happen if there is a JF-17 active on the server.

GD list the M53 API round as capable of penetrating 20mm thick armor plate at 25o obliquity at 100M. While i wouldn`t expect it to do amazingly against a proper armoured target, against something like a BMP-1 given that thing can be penetrated by a 50 cal round from the rear i would expect to to do something.

I`m seeing the opposite, i`m getting friendly returns from known hostiles. Usually F-16`s.

Thanks for the video, Wondered what the heck i was doing wrong when every time just before contacting the basket with the probe i would get a breakaway call.It would appear i`m just a victim of bad programming.

Works fine at the moment, whats going to happen when they patch the flaw in it is another story but thats true about all the processors out there at the moment,might be worth waiting till Intel fix their little design problem before upgrading.

Looks like a Scorpion, The US seems to have lagged behind in the deployment of these beauties. The RAF was using helmet mounted cueing nearly 20 years ago for example. Makes getting eyes on to what the FACs want you to look at much quicker.

Ahh good Horned God i thought it was just me being ham fisted that had turned the spit into a spin spiralling death machine.Never encountered a warbird so eager to spin in my life as the spit on 2.1.

I think we have yet another case of LN being wayyy behind the drag curve of DCS updates..the Mig before and after the latest patch are radically different..since the patch i agree the Mig has turned into a wallowing dog that damn near unflyable.

Exact same problem, I have to say it reflects very poorly on Eagle Dynamics to let an error this basic continue for so long. I personally will not even look twice should Leatherneck do another module.

Having spent 4 months working with and around the damn things,yes they are that loud..worse its quite high pitched for a jet and it has an irritating quality to it.The airframe is very lightly built and there isn`t much between you and the engine inside the cockpit or outside it.

Great aside from binding the trigger to Gear does exactly the same thing and it didn`t 2 weeks ago,i`ll try a re-install..DCS has a habit of messing up on me if i do too many patches on it.

I`m having the same issue,went through and cleared everything from the F-15C bindings and only put in flight control and weapons and it still did it..the only way i`ve found to get round it is to do a SMART profile and program in the stick buttons as the default key presses..not really ideal.
