3rd Wing - Raiden

Unfortunately I didn't find so much content in English. Here is a short intro from the radar manufacturer: https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/antilope-5-radar And below some content in French you can try to translate with any online translator. https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antilope_V A paper on the upcoming update of the Mirage 2000D: http://www.opex360.com/2015/10/01/les-premiers-mirage-2000d-modernises-seront-livres-en-2019/ Hope you'll get all of it.

Antilope V radar doesn't have air to air mode. It cannot fire Fox-1 nor Fox-3. It only uses Fox-2 Matra R.550 Magic II for self defense. It is supposed to be updated in 2020 with MICA IR replacing Magics.

Hi domini99, Please keep in mind that unguided bombs are not to be used for precise bombing like CAS. These bombs are usually dropped on buildings and ground instalations. It is normal though to have difficulties to hit a very precise point on the ground with these dumb bombs. I drop 2 or 4 Mk-82 at a time just to be sure I hit something. Razbam still have to implement CCRP auto-release, which will increase the precision of your drops. In the French Air Force, M-2000C usually drops GBU-12, GBU-16 or GBU-24 with a M-2000D buddylasing. Cheers

Hi bkthunder, I had the same problem with the saitek software and my Pro Rudder Combat. I used to map the wheel brakes key on the rudder pedals for the FC3 aircraft and when braking, the Saitek software often spams wheel brake key command in some kind of infinite loop. Unpluging the rudder's USB cable ends in frozen screens or BSODs. The only way to stop it was to reboot the system. I don't use the saitek software anymore to map the key bindings. I use axis assignment in DCS whenever a can or I brake using the keyboard. Hopefully, M-2000c has braking axis :-) I'd recommand you to stop using the Saitek software and give a try to the in game controls assignments. Let us know if it solved anything.

That's awesome :thumbup: Good job man.

Yep, but it does not prevent to start the engine.

I can't watch it at work but this is a Mirage III guys. That could explain the "exotic" payload. Disregard, it was already said in the text before the video... Sorry guys!

Nothing personal here but it's not the first time you kind of do french bashing. Man it's annoying and not even funny. I'm pretty sure you know recent events have proven the French to be very effective in doing war. So please enought with "The French only knows how to surrender".

Thank you !!! Something was breaking inside me each time I was reading it !

Had the same issue yesterday!

I like these two. They are more relevant as they fit for both air-to-air and air-to-ground and give a description of their sfunctionalit instead of naming them after their position and motions on the stick. My two cents

I'm sorry to tell you that but that's not true. The switch FBW Disabled has been renamed FBW Gain mode for a reason. And that reason is, you can't bypass the FBW computer system. The FBW gain mode switch give you more control over the control surfaces but is recommended for a specific flight envelope. Flying at supersonic speed with FBW Gain mode ON is quite a rodeo, just give it a try. That doesn't answer your main question but it is important for you guys, Mirage pilots, to understand the FBW computer cannot be turned off or bypassed. As Azrayen says before, if FBW was really off (for any reason) your only option would be ejection.

I've tried multiple combinations including M-2000c/Su-33/IL-78/S-3B. Nothing wrong when using the Sukhoi. But weird speed increase bug when using the Mirage.

Maybe but it's M-2000c related as we can't reproduce it with the Su-33.

Thanks for the reply. You guys are doing an amazing job.

Hi, Since 2.0.1 Mirage Rudder authority is completely f...ed up. See the video bellow:

You were way out of the flight envelope of Gain Secours FBW Mode. Gain secours max speed at sea level is Mach 0.95, decreasing with altitude. This could be why you experienced such behavior.

Thanks Sp@t, It would be nice to have more "real pilots" insights on this bird. ;)

What I understand from Zeus saying is that they can do it but they are still debating on MP balance.

If jamming is very very simplified in its current implementation you might be right. If ED has put thought into this, they should have make an API with some kind of variables(who said power emission?) that allow third parties to tune the jamming effect. A lot of DCS code is in fact old LOMAC code. It is very probable that the simplified jamming is the one currently implemented. The same goes for IFF ident.

Maybe because brakes are not assigned to axis but you simple buttons. So its either 0% or 100% braking. I don't remember seeing a brakes hydrolic circuit gauge in the cockpit... Anyone?

The real question is do you want a system to be implemented on guesswork (which can sometimes looks like reverse engineering) or not have this system at all?

Who told you that DCS doesn't allow things? Is it because no aircraft implemented it that it is not possible? The answer to the difference between high and low mode lies in the distance before burnthrough. Only ED can tell how and why they decided and implemented the burnthrough distance. Either that or you have a radar specialist among your friends.

You are right, I am no expert but French engineers are not wizards and physics is what it is. Active jamming only purpose is to make ennemy radar locking capability useless by saturating the targeting computer with false information. When the aircraft is close enough to its target, its radar burns through the jamming because jamming power emission is weaker than the radar waves echo of the attacking aircraft. When this happens, you still see the jamming but you can lock the target on your targeting screen. IMO High power jamming and Low power jammimg only differ in electromagnetic emission power. Regarding jamming effects on your own radar, yes it's guessing. But what else could it be?

To me a high power jammer in the Mirage means 2 things: 1) enemy radar burn through happens much later when the 2 aircrafts are almost merging (if said aircrafts are facing each other) 2) you get your own radar jammed. This means you will see ghosting on your VTB (HDD) as if another aircraft was jamming in front of you. This makes your radar useless. Do I want this Jammer Priority feature? Yes indeed! This is suppose to be a simulation, not an arcade casual game after all. Why are we even talking about MP balance here? Such thing as no place in a simulation. Is it fair to oppose an aircraft with simplified avionics and systems (F-15C, SU-27 and other FC3 aircrafts) to a fully modelized avionics and systems aircraft? Pilot workload is completely different. People do it anyway on many servers. So poeple don't appear to be bothered by fair and balanced gameplay. If war was fair and equal their would be no war as they would end mutual neutralization. Now that's done, please Razbam, give us the most accurate aircraft possible. MP balance isn't at all to be looked into here. People that don't want to use Jammer Priority will just stick to the [] square mode.
