Looking at Rage's video... the R27R should be on inertial/radio correction flight till 70% of range (similar as AIM120 profile), while in video they track chaff almost after the launch... haha

By looking at Mig29 (9.12b) manual... only problem chaff could cause to R27R is activating proximity fuse... to counter that, there is a switch for fuse setting in case of attacking targets which use chaff.

Holbeach, I understand... and I do not mind the way how is someone enjoying DCS... I was just pointing out some of the icy things present in the module...

Here is a table, for example bombing from low level, from the 21bis manual of weapons deployment... You can see that there is no speed above 1000km/h... as you can see from the 2nd column from the right, there is a time delay pilot needs to time before releasing the bombs when passing the target with reticle deflection. If dcs tactic had worked in RL, the manual would surely state it, as it's easier to fly faster and drop on reticle then to count/time delay in head...

Because bomb and pylon were not designed for such releases. The bomb may hit the wing, etc. after seperation. Here is link (just to show an example) for a catalogue of bombs and you can check yourself their specs regarding max. safe release speed: http://www.krusik.rs/en/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/FAB.pdf

The speeds used in videos are unrealistic... bombs are not safe for release at supersonic speeds. I wish LN would get proper ASP-PFD simulation for attacking ground targets - no CCIP, like it's done in F5E LN21 = SNAFU ...

I've recently tested this again, and there are no compressor stalls or flameout possible while in flight... using valve ON can only introduce compressor stall on ground and even to achive that, you need several timed slams of throttle... Kind of shame...

Looking at maverick B manual... the lock on ranges on sunny day (overcast -20%) are specified in avg. figures as: bridge - 5-15km train - 2-4km tank - <3km

Depends on the weather setting, but it should not be much. Chinpok, is this just some specific mission or what is the pattern? What I have noticed is that in some missions I have downloaded, in case you use auto startup procedure, it will not flip all switches... Also woth looking is if there are failures turned on

HUD can go blank if pitot boom freezes (gunsight computer gets data from the boom)... so you need to turn the pitot heater on (next to bomb arm switch).

That is a bug... the reason antenna is tilted up is to minimize noise from ground return, so rolling upside down should completely saturate your screen with noise ... this is not a doppler radar.

The earliest manual for the equipment I have access is mig21m... and as you can see on the picture DUA3 is part of the AP155 system. Regarding your question, I can only speculate regarding earlier birds... all I know is that retrofitting could be done.. also export 21 could be lacking some features from Soviet's at given time period...

Pocket Sized, as had Frederf said, the boom vanes are used for the gun sight. The side fuselage vane came as a part of the autopilot package. As for which is more accurate... you are thinking correctly that boom readings should be closer to the real AoA. However boom installation has other problems which fuselage does not. Like oscillation of the boom under G, etc. So, there is no silver bullet... you need calibration for all kind of installations.

Thank you for your reply Cobra; The reason I had asked is that DCS:21 manual needs updating as the control box is different (simplified because of DCS) and it would be nice if we could read what exactly does it do in DCS. SPS141 being primary a pod vs. Hawk SAM, it does not provide any jamming capability against it. DCS limitation I am guessing as no ECM has any effect in DCS vs SAM. So if it is against aircrafts... is there any effect in using search vs track switch? I had noticed that it is also omni directional while real was only forward sphere +-60 horizontal and +-30 elevation... DCS limit?

To LN, It would be very nice to hear what is the current expected simulation of SPS141 pod. I understand that DCS is very primitive in ECM, however before I start populating your bug tracker I would like to know pod's status. thx.

Thank you for your reply, ENO. Maybe I was unclear.... the problem with the setting you have mentioned is that plane never uses chaff/flare, nor ECM (even if you set additional rule: ECM always on).

I've submitted a ticked for this and yesterday it received:

I was trying to make bombers fly toward their target and not engage in evasive flying... If I set passive defense, it only works vs. AD units. I tried using ECM always on (first rule) with no reaction, and ECM rule is ignored. Any clues how to tackle this problem? thx.

I know the attached graphs are not for *bis, but I thought it could be helpful and interesting ...

Will it be possible to include the cockpit sounds as well? Amplified wing buffeting at high aoa would been very nice...

Making curve more linear just means less deflection of stick is needed for same effect. I even tried negative curve to make me use less counter roll to stop rolling. I think this is not a real solution. :/

If you look at the video, starting @2:30, you can notice quite a difference as stick is centered. comments?

Yes and no. Most a2a kills were caused by severing the fuel and coolant systems. Having self-sealing tanks and radial helps... but when you add heavy cannons to the equation, structural integrity damage is also playing the role and P47 was no wonder bird in this regard. I was lucky to be able to speak with Julius Meimberg (ie. he got 3xP47 in one mission) and he said that mk108 was very effective and 3 hits were enough to bring any fighter down. Could you provide where this info comes from? Are you sure you are not mixing the logistical support?

of course there were tracers... last three are tracers... far on the right is SpGr and the next two are MGe with different fuze

You will have Pulse Search to achieve what you are describing.
