So I watched video above and one from Growling sidwinder I think where he explains BVR in JF-17. So he used tactics I did not realised before but with good reasoning behind it. He did fire at 33+ thousand feet at F18 i think and got it 2 times in a row (against human if I recall correctly) He also lobbed missle at about 15 degree above locked enemy in tws (1st notch only) and then emediately dived down fast to dodge missle he was expecting to come. Tacview realy there opened my eyes. SD 10 traveled almost 1 mach faster than aim 120c so he avoided his missle fast and hit target easy as sd 10 was much faster and better tracking (more smoothly). I was impressed so I went on server where I usualy fly and tried to do cas. To my surprise tactics worked flawlesly and of two engagement I managed to take down both of them. in forst I damaged F-16 badly and with help we shot it down (I got kill count). on 2nd engagement I took down SU 33 (I did this time fired 2 SD 10) just in case, but I took it down. I also dodged both incoming missle with above mentioned tactics. I am happy I must admit and I now better understand BVR. It is amazing how droppping to dense air kills incoming missle energy. Gotta love good sim

I looked some more vids and I am realizing that it was my fault all the way xd. Ill try now to use my new gotten knowledge XD.

ty!

I think I do have tacview. That is good idea. I am guessing That I made mistake by attacking right after climb. I was off energy and therefor dead. Next time ill try first to gain altitude at safe distance, raise my speed again and then try to attack.

So, Just today I found myself in situation that I needed to get into A-A "mode" so I can clear some red F 16's arround on my server. I admit I am not good at that in best of cases. I had on me usual PL5's on tips and 4 SD 10's on outer pylons. I needed to climb for some 13 k feet in order to get myself in spot where I can actualy catch enemy on my radar (I was in default mode, twr I think) Anyway, I locked it and fired my missles and he fired some at me at same time. as usual, I went hard right with some chaff to try to evade missles but I failed. COntrary to me AI managed to dodge missles in F 16 easily. Now my conclusion after that event was that due to crap CD 10 missle preformance and utterly horrible jeff engines, plane itself was totally uncapable of any A-A fighting, unless I need to shot unarmed transport plane or maybe heli? I can accept that I will be shot down easy as I am not that good at A-A fight but that missles are so bad? Do you have some experience and advice for me? Thank you

SO i tested this again. It was most likely my error since I forgot to set fuse to efuse. I presume that is why rocket fired but it did not follow beam. I had after that couple of sucsessfull shots so I presume all is ok now.

So. I was happy as pig in the mud when I saw update out and laser bug fixed. Now I maybe a bit rusty but it seems that I still got same issue in Jeff. BRM still do not folow laser beam. Does anyone else having this issue again? Just for notice, it looked like it did not follow beam at all.

I was reconsidering flying again, but after seeing that this bug is still nto fixed, well I got other things to do. This is big one for me and patches are going out too slow lately.

As I said, gound power do not help, only respan sometimes. I presume it is minor bug and random one possibly.

i tried to fire one 802Ak foew das ago for testing . I did keep it on lock up to very end but my 802 just decided to fly over ship and continue. After some time I think it autoexploded since he passed target. THis was not first time it happened. Unfortunately i dont have track and log, but next time I try I can supply that too if it happens again.

had same issue today, quick loadup via standard menue and then power switches but power did not wanna go up. After quickly got into lobby then back to same slot, it worked again. So, aparently it does not happens always but only sometimes.

Thank you.

AH thank you! That is stuff I wanted to know. I saw that some videos suggests only mod1 to setup without recive and other video did suggest mode 6 on both sides but I am not sure is that working on all servers. Edit: to summarize, best best for random multiplayer PVE server is mode 1 + on INT side and that is it? Or do I need to set that on TRS side aswell? Also, does code matters in that situation?

Hello. I recently started to fly on server where only thing on map you can ssee is map itself (whatever that mode is called lol) and suddenly IFF started to be important. Now in 90% of the time I am only jeff out there. my usual way is to put M6 on * for transmit and recive part, but that did not help with identification of any plane (or maybe I missed it). On one ocasion i did tried with code but that worked only when other jeff did came code as me .So my question is, arw there any way to setup IFF in jeff so it actualy works or it is just usless clicking on startup. Good and acurate video guide would also be helpfull if you can link some. Thank you

I did removed ladder. When it was updated so we must o that i did messed up couple of times so I remebered to do it. I presumed that plane will start up with cable, but That does not solve issue. It is like moping dust under a rug and pretending nobody will see it. For me, I don't have much free time for gaming and when I do i don't wanna loose it on bugs and reloading. THat particular server i was on did ude syria map and heavily loaded with stuff. So at that point it was still loading stuff occasionally I thing, as i notice that that stutter goes away afte some time. Maybe that lag created some problems, but I just can't poin't what happened.

Hello I am not sure is this a bug, but it most certainly is an issue for me as I can't fly my plane. I wanted to took of on Syria map (Camp David) up north for an Sead sortie for fun and practise. So i sat in my jeff, press usual menue for taking jammer pod and 4 LD-10 as wel as usual 2 IR's on wing tips. After that was sorted, I removed covers and updated DTC, as I got distracted in home I just in case updated again as I forgot if I did it first time or not. SO I went and power on plane (Power and generator , usual 3 switches) but plane was dead. TO make this clearer I di not spend any battery power nor touched switched before that. Now on 2nd try I did same thing but this time I took center 800l tank instead jammer pod and rest as before. I managed to startup power and Betty, lights. I tried then to power on engine , flicked pump and engine control, moved throtle from detemnt to idle. And after I pressed startup button it did not reacted nor did anything. That happened in a row. It is funny as I did not had that issue on caucasus map. I did not tried in solo game to be honest. Track and log are in attachment (i thop they will fit). (nope). Track file is here: https://easyupload.io/n6y3ih Disclaimer: if you notice my beginner error somwhere, please do let me know as I love to fly jeff and would love to correct it. Thank you dcs.log

Thank you Deka. That was propper and quick response. I do love Sead missions but I also do like being on the deck here and there.

DId you removes Cover and ladders from ground crew menue? After one o flast updates I now need to do that every time for cold start. best to do it before all else.

Ok, then I am not getting nuts as I thought that I am only one with this problems. I got same issue with BRM and GBU. Works few minutes and then dies. I also for some reason do not see INRNG message on HUD and that was weird too, despite being at 2500 at a time which was alot less than 4000 in Chuck's guide picture. I can't pinpoint problem but I can try to add my test track and if I am able ill try to add last log. Or not. Cant attack track 5,5 mb large. Really?! trk link: https://easyupload.io/8x5sat dcs.log

I had something like this in mind along with flame skulls on tail. Also, below cabin, it would be nice if there were "Hellrider" sign. Well, I guess you get general idea of this. Thank you.

Well, then, I will presume I got hit in the pod then when overflying targeted area lol.

I must admit. Lately I had very good experience with JSOW's, Jdam's, both with PP points and TOO ones. I am also practising classis sniping with BRM's. Now BRM's are a bit weird (or better yet, targeting pod). I shoot some 5-6 rockets, they all hit their respective targets, but after that system "farts" and it just refuses to track beam. I must admit I did not paid very close attention if beam was actualy firing or not, but I always set laster on auto so it don't overheat. I would wild guess that it does overhear anyway but I cannot figure it out why. I cannot find that piece of information anywhere,but, does Laser fires automaticaly at pod marks target with square aka locking it, or does it fire laser after I pres Weapon release button? If it is case once, than I know why it owerheats ( I do forget to unlock target after hit). But if it is case 2, then I dunno.

Hello. I would love to have personalized skin for my Jeff, but I am just not cut out to make that myself, so i am humbly asking for help there. I did gather some pics, that would give you rough idea what I want. Ofc. Once done, feel free to upload it on user files if you wish. Thank you in advance!

Is something must be done after you land, shut down plane and rearm with presuming that you will be using targeting pot both times. After rearming, I realigned my INS, updated DTC and proceded as normal with new startup, but on 2nd flight my rockets failed to land at designated area. code was right and lasing was in auto mode. Only if I forgot to do something.

Is most certainly is. I loved to use JSOW and JDAM. Even evaded some sams along way. Fun times.
