Dehuman

:thumbup: I was being sarcastic as to how off topic this thread has gotten, turning into another this vs that measuring contest.

Op Fireshield the MiG-21's at Anapa can't communicate with AWACS. AWACS is on 225 MHz The two mission frequencies on the MiGs is 124Mhz (Channel 0) and 220MHz (Channel 1) Makes flying the MiG even more masochistic.

I am also using a twist rudder, however that is what a deadzone is for. Few seconds to set and unintentional rudder inputs are gone.

Was there a discussion thread about that?

Well still waiting for the Marine Corp aircraft alluded to with the name Leatherneck. Hornet and Harrier are off the table so F-4, F8? Or older like Banshee or Panther?

OK I feel the roll rate is now far too low. With my above average albeit still limited knowledge of physics I feel the MiG-21 should have a very rapid roll rate and I feel that a full and sustained deflection of aileron and rudder at 900kmh IAS should either cause a loss of control of the aircraft, something to break, or the pilot to lose consciousness. I feel the plane was nerfed based on the histrionics of a few.

:thumbup: Looking good, as for bugs, all I noticed (at this point I've only watched it once which is sure to change) was the Missile on the left wing was missing it's launcher.

Yep I'm a bit disappointed in this. Unloaded the roll rate is back to mediocre, need to add full rudder for a decent combat roll speed. Plane is now almost impossible to get to depart from flight, can fly with full aileron, rudder and even elevator deflection indefinitely.

Modern radar and Fox-3 capable, I think it'll be able to hold it's own. Certainly at least have parity if not superiority over M-2000C.

Missing textures... Mods? Tried a repair?

Any news on the status of the server? Been down a couple of days. And any chance of getting some additional AA at Sochi in the fight for Sukhumi? Lately there've been a few people with reading difficulties bombing/strafing the runway. Cheers

Yes they will work. Sometimes scripting and triggers need to be updated but IIRC 1.5.4-1.5.6 didn't break any of those either.

Me want!!

It can be stationary and you can land no problem

Go to audio options > hear like in helmet, then there is no noticeable difference between sub and supersonic. Normally I think some of the external sounds are mixed in.

I'm liking the new FM, bought back that feel the old one had but kept the relative performance of the previous. SAU recovery seems to be working again rather than being SAU rodeo. Best of all the rudder no longer has that ridiculous yaw authority with minimal roll authority. I will miss those tight hammerheads though. I might just be imagining this one but pitch stability feels better at high AOA too, I'm having an easier time riding the yellow.

Well not exactly sure what I did (I did everything short of re-install DCS, and none of that worked) but after leaving it for a little while and flying some missions with default kneeboard :cry: I gave it another shot and hey presto! all is well again.

Understandable for fighter pilots to behave like that. All the thrill of combat without having the unpleasant side of killing people / being killed. Whenever I hear Americans or Brits complaining that they were "aggressively" and "unprofessionally" intercepted by Russian or Chinese fighters I smile. Aggressive, doubt it, having a good time, definitely.

Since I updated to 1.6.9.8, kneeboard builder breaks all my clickable cockpits and the kneeboard settings (position, size etc) for the FC3 planes doesn't stick with the exception of A-10A which is working as expected. Log attached, scroll down and you can see the errors as I jump between different modules. EDIT: saw your earlier post re: Lite mode, will give it a whirl SECOND EDIT: Nope, didn't work. Even ran a DCS cleanup then repair. log.zip

The fly by wire auto-trim just aims to maintain 1g

It will come. With the demand for it expressed on the forums it would be a terrible business move for any dev to not be queuing up to do it. It's also be a terrible move on. ED's part to shoot down Razbam unless there were already plans underway elsewhere. So just as long as those plans don't involve VEAO or Aviodev we'll get the Flogger before the decade is up. :thumbup:

sorry, couldn't help it

Low fast and level is a pretty effective way to use snake eyes

1. Altitude. If the Tigers don't get you while you're mowing lawns the Stingers will. 2. AWACS (hopefully it's not stuck on the runway) 3. Avoid the hills if possible. 4. Only scan with radar in short bursts. Alternatively use your radar to bait F-5s into a trap. 5. Use R3R. Unlikely to hit but will force them to defend giving you the advantage.

Day + Night = the same, but night also turns on the external refuelling lights. Having adjustment over the doppler rejection would be handy, should lean on ED for that one.
