3rd Wing - Raiden

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.

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.

In Cv NAV or Cm NAV on your HSI, the thin needle will indicate VOR/ILS bearing if the ILS frequency is well set and you are in range of the beacon. If everything is well set you should have a course deviation needle and a glidescope deviation needle one the ADI. If not, it's probably a bug or a feature not yet implemented. See Razbam Flight manual page 50 and 80-81 for more info.

Thx Chuck ! You should give version numbers to your files so we can track updates.
