After 3 something years.. I finally caved in.. and got the Su-27 module. Although I'm still an Eagle Driver, I'm kinda familiar with the Su-27 because it was one of the jets i use back in the Flaming Cliffs Days.. Now that the Flanker has PFM I have some questions: 1. What is the Su-27's corner speed in Kilometers per Hour? 2. Is it me or that when taking off with neutral trim, the nose pitches up too much... is there some kind of ideal trim setting for take off? 3. Is there an ideal AoA value for approach when landing? ..the Eagle prefers around 20-22 units on approach.. How about the Su-27?

I find myself pressing ALT + Enter more often now just to revert the FPS back to 60 or something since the last update... :noexpression:

..same here.. but if this is an ED issue and in the pipeline or so.. I'll just wait..

Thanks. I guess i'll aim for 980 Ti or older Titans... unless I have big luck and win a lottery.. then 1080 Ti.. Thanks for the info. I hope before 1.5 support ends.. some issues could be fixed... like the missing HSI distance in the Eagle, weird overcast cloud color (top), etc..

There was a difference between the HUD and the HSI distance readout back then iirc.. a difference of 1 nautical mile between the counters... prolly before patch 1.5... fuzzy memory

pardon for butting in.. but yeah.. I can feel you... pertaining the price of gaming hardware components... ^^ Perhaps for us, we could stay with 1.5.. though without the latest patches. Whilst we save for the next Hardware if we can...

I see.. hopefully it would be that way... I'm not really into Multiplayer as our internet speeds here are crap anyways.. so yeah.. I just like to have my F-15 fix whilst saving up for the next big PC purchase... btw.. is the GTX1080 similar in performance to a GTX980? I was thinking of purchasing earlier generations of XX70s or XX80s, instead of the current ones.. Perhaps it would lower the total cost, should I plan to procure a newer rig.. :)

..I can't upgrade my PC for now, considering my wallet and bank account is not deep enough.. and that graphic cards here in my country cost around 500 to 1000 US Dollars.. ...with DCS 2.5 just around the corner.. i would just like to ask if 1.5 would still work once ED stops supporting it.. Eventually, I know i'll have to replace my Rig...which was good enough 3 to 4 years ago... but just not within 2018... Ill be content enough if DCS 1.5 would work even without the latest updates.. whilst i'd save up for the next PC i'd want to get... :) Perhaps by the time i'd get a new rig... there'd be DCS F-15E or Gripen already ;) lol we wish... xD

@all: Noted then... thanks^^ I had a 4:3 monitor for years.... Although we do have a widescreen TV, i dont watch much though. Maybe that's why i find the widescreen picture of DCS wierd ^^

Good day, I just upgraded monitors from a Decade old 4:3 Samsung to a widescreen Philips LED.. The native resolution is at 1920x1080.. I'd like to know what is needed to be done to get DCS displaying at the proper Aspect Ratio for my given resolution.. I've selected 16:9 in the game settings but for some reason, DCS World still looks a bit "Squished" .... Regards^^

I'm ok with this.. ^^ I'm also wishing for optional female radio operators like in the AWACS, Tanker planes or so... ;)

I think this problem... for some reason.. just occurs on my end... I'm at a loss here, as to why I'm the only one experiencing this weirdness in DCS.. Going back.. I definitely have problems with the F-15 flaps at certain conditions.. or maybe I'm still missing something.. Anyways, I just wanted to confirm if anyone else has this problem... apparently no one else experiences this. I will try to do a re-install sometime, to see if it would eliminate the F-15 Flaps problem that I have now... I consider this case closed. Thank you all.

Yes

Seems that somehow i need to be at some distance from a given airfield, say 5 nautical miles.. just so i can extend flaps.. When i'm close to an airfield.. flaps cant extend below 200... weird....

Brakes deployed first around downwind leg.. to slow down to 250... then I extend the flaps when around 230 or less... then landing gear extension

I think there's also some kind of visibility problem with the Formation Lights.. ..disappearing..

Repair installation? ==== Yeah, I kinda noticed somehow that this problem seems to occur when I'm trying to do an overhead or something that has me trying to drop all the brake,flaps & gear.. close to an airfield... When I'm doing long & straight-in approaches, the flaps do extend above 200 knots...though I'm using separate commands in the flaps namely, Flap Retract & Flaps Landing.. not the usual Flaps Extend/Retract... might sound odd but, can someone verify this by doing an overhead break landing with the Eagle? perhaps this problem has got to do with waypoint Zero, ILS or something.... otherwise, i'll jut go with the uninstall/re-install option. Kind Regards

Flaps still broke as F afterall... :) This is really frustrating now :D I guess there's no need to confirm this one now as I'm prolly the only one experiencing this.. I guess somewhere along the way, the Sim's logic/program code got broke since I have DCS installed in my rig since 2014.. ..will just get back to this thread after I re-install the whole game maybe.. Kind Regards :)

Seems that I'll have to eat my previous post about this being resolved.. Flaps are still Broken after all.... I ran another mission, 45 minutes long and I had to be as slow as 170 knots just to get the Freakin Flaps extended... I tried all the commands Flaps Up/Extend, Flaps Down, Flaps Landing..but still the same... I'll just go with the overkill solution and try my luck by uninstalling-reinstalling the whole DCS Program when I have time.. since I assume no else is experiencing this... Thanks..

Seems that flaps are working again.. after clearing & re-assigning keys. I guess it's ok now... The problem with missing Digits of the HSI gauge still stands though... and some missing textures.. perhaps I'll make another thread pertaining these.. Kind Regards^

I tried clearing the every Button that has got to do with flaps.. Flaps Up/Down, Flaps Extend & Flaps Landing then re-assigned new buttons to each Flap commands ...still confirming but somehow it seems that I have to use to separate commands for the Flap to extend at 250-235 KIAS.. namely the Flaps Landing position & Flaps up.. I'm going to play a mission that's 30+ minutes long for now to confirm this.. I'll try to post the results later. ^^

Flap Extend & Retract or the F key by default.. I also tried assigning it to my T.16000M but the flaps still won't extend. Also another problem came out on my end upon upgrading to the latest 1.5.7... The Distance counter of the HSI disappeared.. (already in the pics above..)

Initially i had 1.5.6 at the time of posting.. Then i decided to upgrade to 1.5.7 by friday GMT +8 to see if the flap problem gets resolved.. Unfortunately, it didn't fixed the problem.

I'm using the latest build... I just noticed another problem too... missing Distance Digits of the HSI..... but that's another matter So as i was saying... Landing Gear extendable 250 knots... though it says 214 in the menu bar.. I just extended a bit late. Eitherway there's no problem with the gears... ..but Flaps not extending.... 2257 seconds from mission start... or 37 minutes elapsed time more or less.... flaps only extends around 170 knots now...... The longer a given mission is played.. the lower the flap extension speed it seems... Aside from the reduced overall FPS compared to 1.5.6.XXXX builds (another matter anyway and it's known...) this is kind of a bummer.... but me being an F-15 fan.. will just play anyway... I guess I'll just do long Approaches when landing for now...

Im sure that even @ 235, i cant extend the flaps... has to be below 200.. Im on mobile so ill post doing 235 and also try to recreate the 180 knots max flap extension later Im kinda considering reinstalling the whole sim.. but that might be an overkill option.. Btw i tried assigning the flaps key to other buttons such as my joystick keys but still the same result...
