  1. The sound has to do with the speed of inlet air being faster than the first stage of the compressor... kind of the opposite of a compressor stall, but a similar sound, because the compressor blades are not actually compressing (fully) in both cases. Basically, the sound you hear is turbulence over compressor blades. Wiki VGV (variable guide vanes) or take a look at "AgentJayZ" on youtube. He has some amazing videos that explain how they work (specifically on compressor stall). TL;DR - Happens when the throttle is reduced dramatically at high speeds.
  2. I only have this issue joining the 104th Server. It takes maybe 1/10 the time to get into the dynamic caucasus server.
  3. I've been throwing my wallet at my monitor for years now, and it finally worked. Pre-order the crap out of it!
  4. The real missing statistic here is why were those missiles fired? I'm no veteran of air combat, but many missiles i fire in DCS are fired to force a defensive reaction. They are fired with full knowledge that if the target evades at all, the missile will not have the energy to maneuver for an impact. That said, there have been many posts about improving the realism of missile energy. Basically, across the board, AA missiles lose energy too quickly post boost phase...
  5. overlay not showing up When I click toggle overlay, it doesn't show up. I can see it in my task manager / application bar, but nothing shows up. This happened previously and it was just invisible (the opaqueness slider was all the way to one side... but now, since I last updated today, I just can't find the overlay. For what it's worth, the AWACS overlay comes up just fine, but doesn't help me.
  6. Well, that sucks... I've only played in the last 4 rounds and had a great time in each. Haters gonna hate, bitchers gonna bitch... I have nothin' but love for you guys!!! Thanks for leaving the server up right after round 8 ended... can't get enough of it! (I was serious about teh r-60 vs aim-9p or aim-9L... that should reduce the advantage of the off boresite shots decimating blue... <shrug> and even things up a bit for the f-5's and mig-21's to have more fun) -B
  7. I gave it a good effort, but the IR A-A missle configuration is not going to work for round nine in its current setup. Blue will get steam rolled. The only hope an F-15 has against a 27 right now is if the 27 is flying too fast and cant turn inside the F-15 for the 2nd volley of IR missiles... any competent 27 pilot is going to be shooting fish in a barrel. Here are some suggestions: YMMV 1. Limit blue to aim-9p (turns like a barge) and red to r-60 2. take away all a-a missiles (probably not popular) 3. give M2000C to blue... red gets 29S, 29A, 27, M2k... blue gets only F-15
  8. "Monkey" after a long flight back from north of bulls... or an average afternoon on 104th...
  9. I want to fly for blue... but every time I look at the "live map" red is out numbered 4:1... red it is, i guess... (it's 7:1 right now) Are radar guided SAMs and missiles still completely borked?
  10. I wouldn't compare SR to Leavu3... though i get the point. Thanks so much for your work on SR. I love it, and have barely used it, but it's really RAD!!! Keep up the good work and soak up the love from the community, and as much as you can, don't listen to the haters... they're gonna hate no matter what you do. <3
  11. it's not so much the "time frame" issue, it's that the TGP gives such a huge advantage to the A-10C. It's about balance.
  12. YAYAYAYAYYYAAAAYYYYY!!!!! missiles.lua is no longer modifiable!!!!!!!! No more easy win "hacked" missiles!!! wooohooo.... see you online!!!
  13. "Link 4C is a fighter-to-fighter data link which is intended to complement Link 4A although the two links do not communicate directly with each other. Link 4C uses F-series messages and provides some measure of ECM resistance. Link 4C is fitted to the F-14 only and the F-14 cannot communicate on Link 4A and 4C simultaneously. Up to 4 fighters may participate in a single Link 4C net." (source: http://fas.org/irp/program/disseminate/tadil.htm) So... will this be modeled in the Leatherneck version of the A and B? The F-14D was upgraded to Link 16, which would be sooooo sweet!
  14. what happened to maps with GCI and AWACS / data link?
  15. I tried helping red defend, but the lag was so bad I couldn't hit anything. I fired 7 missiles at an f-15, all missed inside 15km... as soon as I'd fire, they'd lag out and the missile would go dumb... I tried killing a couple KA-50's attacking Min Vody... every 5 seconds a lag spike would hit... I had to make 5 passes with guns, just hoping that when i was in range they wouldn't lag out, or i'd have to go around again.... completely unplayable, in my opinion... not enjoyable, at best. I enjoy the testing phase much more!! Great concept... i wish i could be more constructive, but I have no idea what would help... maybe not a server in Greece? Can't wait for the next testing phase... had way more fun then! :)
  16. I'm not sure if this has been posted before, my apologies if it has, but I found it an interesting watch. A historical perspective of the evolution of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat design presented by former Northrop Grumman VP Mike Ciminera direct link: [ame] [/ame]
