The AMRAAMer

Yup :thumbup:

FC3, a10, f14, f16 I was hyped for the viper and it left me disappointed, maybe one reason why ive quit for a while

Is it just me that's been losing interest in flight simming lately? I don't know if its because I've grown bored of DCS or because I've been more busy and had less energy to sit down and flight sim for a good couple hours. And when I do have the time to flight sim I'm just too tired and not in the mood. Anyone else?

Is it possible for friends to deactivate and uninstall certain modules from thier accounts, exchange account passwords and log into each others accounts, essentially sharing modules that the other does not own?

First off I'd like to congratulate ED on a job well done with the Viper. I had a small request though, that the default head position be lowered a bit, as I'd like to be able to see my entire MFD's but it requires me to zoom out so far that I can barely read them. I feel this is an issue for anyone who doesn't have headtracking, unless someone can help me find a solution? thanks

And if I must be within the SAMs WEZ, I should still fly high to avoid the aaa and manpads?

To a fighte aircraft (be it an F-15, 16, 18, etc) what's a larger threat: 1) an older gen SAM like an SA-2, 3, or 4 or 2) AAA and MANPADS In other words, if a target area has both old gen radar sams and low level aaa and ir manpads, should i fly high to avoid the low level threats, or fly low to terrain mask from the SA-2/3? which threat takes priority? i've heard that its always the SAM, regardless of how old it may be

Is it just me or have the also reduced RWR, AIM-9 tone, Betty, etc in relation to the in cockpit engine sound ? Im going deaf with the In Cockpit slider on 50% in the F15 but I can barely hear the sidewinder tone

Sound Settings changed Is it just me or has the volume been changed with a new update? Everything sounds way too quiet...usually keep "In-Cockpit" at around 30% now i have to up it to around 60%

is there a reason that the chaff looks like giant pixels?

New Open Beta Wake Turbulence Option What does this option do? I know Heatblur added a lot of turbulence into the F14 FM, will unchecking this box remove that?

Watchung The Art of the Kill, Pete Bonani says all you can do in defensive BFM is keep jinking and buying yourself time in the hopes that the other guy makes a mistake or someone else comes to help

Do you guys have any tips for defensive BFM? If someones on my 6 what can I do to get them off?

Yes, pulse modes have a little over half the range of pulse doppler modes. But my question was is there any tactical advantage to using them over pulse doppler (other than seeing targets in the notch)? Sorry if I misunderstood anyone

Where can I find these values for other aircraft? If you have them on hand for the A10, F14 and F16 can you provide? Thank you

Should PSTT and Pulse Search only be used when you are about to be notched in a Pulse Doppler mode? (since it is so vulnerable to ground clutter in real life) Or is there an advantage to using them for any other reason?

Is beaming a threat mean putting it on your 3-9 line or on your 10/2 o'clock?

After take off when you're heading to the AO, what's a good, consistent, climb rate? Is there one value for all aircraft? If not, what's a good climb rate for the F15 and other fighters like it?

isn't the flap lid the fire control radar for the SA-10? also, uri mentioned the square pair, i thought the SA-5 fire control radar was the bar lock?

A friend of mine told me that I should memorize the names and look of all the search and tracking radars of all the SAM sites like Fan Song, Low Blow and Flat Face, Bar Lock, Flap Lid, etc. Is it necessary? Do real pilots memorize and know the names and visual look for SAM radars?

on a similar note whats the difference between using ILS and ACL switches for the HUD and VDI on the right vertical console?

ah ok thank you

But what's the switch actually do?

What exactly does it do? TACAN switch gives steering information to the TACAN station, DEST gives steering info to the waypoint, AWL/PCD gives steering info to...? As far as I see in the case 1 carrier recovery quick mission, the AWL/PCD switch does not change the HSD at all compared to using TACAN. Only difference I get is the ILS glideslope and localizer bars

a bit of an unrelated question but on the HSD, the two diamonds represent the nose and tail of the aircraft but what is the house shaped symbol 90 degrees between the diamonds
