Air Combat World Series 4v4 BVR Rule Set Hello everyone and welcome to the Air Combat World Series. The ACWS will be holding everything from BVR to BFM competitions with 1v1's, 2v2's and 4v4's and more. The aim is to create a supplementary set of competitions to the already great selection of tournaments available to compete in. The future will see us hopefully develop a full league with ranked teams who can drop up and down divisions from season to season. This means that brand new teams with less experience can compete against others of similar skill levels as they grow from season to season. Once their skill has grown they will move up a division eventually reaching the ACWS Premier Division where they compete against the best you all have to offer! For now we are starting with a 4v4 tournament and how close we come to the finalised idea this season will depend on the number of teams that sign-up. So we are hoping for a lot of you. The 4v4 tournament weapons restrictions are designed to enable the use of of the SU-27 and 33 which has not been able to see much action for a while since the introduction of the SD-10 and new 120's. The Tomcat is also very much redundant in an environment where the use of 120c's and SD-10's are allowed. Restricting Fox 3's down to the 120b may also encourage greater use of the Mirage 2000. We hope these weapons restrictions will increase the variety of airframes in the competition. Prizes are still to be decided but for now assume its for the pride and glory of winning! We hope to see you all in the discord! Weapons restrictions: 4x Fox 3 any number of Fox 1/2's. Any Phoenix allowed. Banned Weapons 120c, SD-10. 9x, Talds, A2G weapons. Conditions: - Approximately 60nm radius bubble and on Caucuses map to ensure all teams can take part. - Teams must ready up for take-off and have 20 minutes to do so. - Teams can Engage from the outside of the bubble. - All members of a team must enter the bubble within 10 minutes from take-off. - Once all members are in the bubble teams must gain control of the bubble through the elimination of the opposing team. - Once a team has controlled the bubble for more than 5 minutes they have won control of the bubble then at least one pilot must land at the airfield they took off from. - Landing inside the bubble counts as a death. Landing then taking off again inside the bubble will be classed as a rule break. Game play rules: - The use of ECM is banned and it's use will result in a round loss for the offending team. - If any known exploit is found to have been used that round will be lost for the offending team. This includes the AoA roll and any variation of it. - If any exploit comes to be known and has been used in the past then those match results will be amended and the offending team will suffer points loss as well as the the team offended on gain points. - Players can not fly on other competing teams in this competition as a member on their roster. Teams found to have shared members will suffer a lost match. (Does not include mercenaries). - Either team members must ask for the team role in Discord or their team representative request it be given to them. - A team is limited to one mercenary pilot per match. - If a team has more than four members they may create A and B teams however competition membership priority will be given to A teams first. Only if there are not enough slots filled will B teams be admitted. A and B teams must be well labelled on the signup page for example **[TFA] Happy Skulls (A Team)** and **[TFA] Fighting Ducks (B Team)**. - So far a maximum of 32 teams will be allowed for sign-up. If there are more then we may be able to form a separate league. - Matches may be streamed and streamers can sign up as streamers for matches once a schedule is released. - Rules may be ammended as and when needed. Sign-ups and competition start date: - Sign-ups open now! - Sign-ups will end the beginning of January and the first matches should take place mid to late January. Sign up Format Example: Team: Task Force Trident Competitive {TFT} Aircraft: F16, F18, F14B. Team Roster: Rage, Orothin, Scotty, Huntress.

Hi, I can confirm this happens. It quite possibly is just in multiplayer as I don't play single player so have no reference for that. Basically the HMD when in bore sight can hover over a target without locking. Fixing requires switching through multiple radar modes. Sometimes you have to cycle many times before you get a lock. Verticle scan seems to work better but bore sight even when using sensor select long finds it very dificult to lock often. The radar also loses lock when in a turn fight, it always seems to conveniently be when you pull lead and are about to pull the trigger too.

Introduce the laser TCS next time.

I am not asking you to disregard proven information at all as you have no information you are willing to accept on the missile. Vice versa, you are asking me to accept something you have no evidence for as all the evidence points in the opposite direction. I am not arguing over the way the 54a works, I am trying to clarify on the way the 54c works based of official nomenclature used in all descriptions of it's functions. They are not just similarly named as that would defeat the purpose of it being a nomenclature, they do not just casually name these systems. Nomenclature "The body or system of names used in a particular specialist field". It is a much bigger leap of faith to assume that a missile made decades apart from it's predecessor is just as obsolete especialy once given the the expressed updates which are stated to be present on another known and contemporary missile. It's clear that there is a phylisophical devide between us here so I am just going to leave it at that. Perhaps your lead will take us somewhere but I doubt it as you will most likely just get the same level of info depending on the source. If it is a freedom of information act request then it will probably get rejected due to ITAR and if it is someone just telling you then they are at risk of breaching ITAR restrictions if it comes from ITAR controlled documents. I left my part on a good note with Iron Mike and am now right back to debating with yourself so it's best just to agree to disagree I think, but good luck with your lead.

I totally get it and am hopeful for the best and am thankful for your hard work and passion. All I mean by moving away from the module for now is in regards to the DCS competitive scene just wanted to say that. Regarding the main topic of the thread before we went off tangent, we have seen the exact same scenarios. Firing a missile on a target cranking at 20-30 degrees can see the missile reach them at only a few hundred knots or sometimes even just fly off the rail in a straight line even though the TID shows no lost track. This has been happening consistently. Even PAL with ACM cover up once the missile is active will see very wide misses. Nearer the start of the year this kind of shot worked really well at around 10-15nm with ACM cover up and 10k feet higher than the bandit, now though all BVR launched missiles are missing and almost all PAL shot's are missing. The notch on all of the other DCS Fox 3's seems to be much larger now too and perhaps something which changed that is having an effect on the present Phoenix? May I make a suggestion? How about you guy's start up a discored server. I feel comunication that way will be better for off topic conversations and perhaps the nice, fun daily messages could help prevent anyone from feeling like there is hostility in the air as that is not my intention at all. Wanted you guys to make a discord for a long while now. Just some food for thought.

Again, I wasn't trying to be rude and I had no intention of being so nor do I think I was, merely trying to help out. On the matter of documentation, you will most likely not acquire it as it is ITAR controlled but I hope you can. Also, as I said earlier, given the real evidence regarding the AIM-54C you are making a larger leap in guesswork than anyone else as far as I can see. I really hope one day you can fix this and I assure you seeing every patch worsen or leave the Tomcat in the same place it is right now feels a lot like groundhog day too. I have had patience with it for a long time and maybe one day I will be able to return to it but for now I won't be able to which is unfortunate. Good luck and I wish you and Heatblur the best.

Explicit, "stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt" or a "literal explanation", "in accordance with it's original meaning". To say that Coomand-Inertail is not prove that it goes active on it's own is somewhat nonsensical to be painfully honest. Guidence laws include, Command Guidance: "The missile tracker is on the launching platform (The AWG-9/WCS). These missiles are totally controlled by the launching platform that sends all control orders to the missile". In other words, during the Command stage of the missiles flight it is guided by the F14 that fired it, slaved to the F14 to an extent and relying on it's updates. Inertial Guidance: This can only be used in an autominous system. A missile fired with this capability as you already know is updated on it's starting position based off the inertial navigation of the firing ship. The inertail stage does not come until the missile is autominous (pitbull) and is how the missile guides itself to a last known position of a target, you know this ofcourse. Further more, "Strapdown systems Lightweight digital computers permit the system to eliminate the gimbals, creating strapdown systems, so called because their sensors are simply strapped to the vehicle. This reduces the cost, eliminates gimbal lock, removes the need for some calibrations and increases the reliability by eliminating some of the moving parts. Angular rate sensors called rate gyros measure the angular velocity of the vehicle. A strapdown system needs a dynamic measurement range several hundred times that required by a gimballed system. That is, it must integrate the vehicle's attitude changes in pitch, roll and yaw, as well as gross movements. Gimballed systems could usually do well with update rates of 50–60 Hz. However, strapdown systems normally update about 2000 Hz. The higher rate is needed to let the navigation system integrate the angular rate into an attitude accurately. The data updating algorithms (direction cosines or quaternions) involved are too complex to be accurately performed except by digital electronics. However, digital computers are now so inexpensive and fast that rate gyro systems can now be practically used and mass-produced. The Apollo lunar module used a strapdown system in its backup Abort Guidance System (AGS). Strapdown systems are nowadays commonly used in commercial and military applications (aircraft, ships, ROVs, missiles, etc.). State-of-the-art strapdown systems are based upon Ring Laser Gyroscopes, Fibre Optic Gyrocopes or Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscopes. They are using digital electronics and advanced digital filtering techniques such as Kalman filter." To elaborate on this further, Strap-Down Inertial is explained to be on the 54C, this is becuase it has a solid state seeker head and is a none gimballed system. This becomes a part of the Command-Inertial function and means several things. 1. The missile is not only getting updates from the F14 but is also constantly extrapolating the targets position after each update. 2, The missile seeker is already active whilst still in the command phase which is clearly stated on ducumentation about the 54c. 3, if the missile no longer recieves updates from the firing F14 then it is already active and already extrapolating the track to try and place the target within it's seekers detection cone. To conclude, the AIM-54C is infact the same as a big AMRAAM. This capability would not be implimented on to the missile if it was not allowed to be autominous without the F14 giving it the signal to be so. Perhaps this is all just due to a launguage barrier? As I understand English might not be your first launguage and the concept nomenclature might not be quite understood. I mean no offense by that by the way, I was speaking to someone in person just a few days ago who was speaking very good english but certain concepts or meaning were escaping him. I just had to explain these things in a respectful manner to allow him to reach the same page as me, so to speak. Put quite simply, if the missile did not behave the way all of the publicaly avialble documentation states it does then they would never have used these terms to explain the updated model. So again, you have all the proof you need to model the missile to the best standard, you are just ignoring it and that is why I am disapointed with it as with many others. I truly would love to sit here and congratulate you on a well modeled module and I hope one day I will be able to do that. With this level of missconception though, how can I be sure that future modules won't recieve the same treatment and results the Tomcat has now? You are not achieving high standards right now, you are guessing more than the people who are asking for a better AIM-54C. Again, I say this with the greatest of respect. Edited for some spelling mistakes.
