    Fear the S.530D!

    And when was the R-27ER put into service?

    Fear the S.530D!

    And Greek Mirage 2000 EG got the Super 530D even later than the French Air Force. They did effectively operate in QRA with 4 x Magic 2. But Mirage 2000 EG are on Blue side :music_whistling:
  3. About flying the F-15E solo... It's a McDonnell Douglas strike fighter, like the F/A-18D. USMC just decided to kill the WSO role, they announced that pilots will fly the F/A-18D in solo. F-15E avionics seem to have a lot in common with F/A-18, at least for the cockpit ergonomic. And having to deal with Jester, I'm glad we will be able to handle the weapon system from the front seat :joystick:

    Eclair Pod

    Yes, DCS doesn’t seem to handle very well decoys pod. The correct numbers with ECLAIR pod loaded is 130 chaffs and 32 flares.
  5. I seriously doubt it. Don't confuse standard practice and possibility. Both radar and Magic have specific search patterns. You have specific button to change search pattern or break lock for each one. Only the slave button is common.
  6. This is pretty standard practice for scaled model makers. They put in the same box the options to make various variants of the same aircraft. So the box is labeled "Mirage 2000C" and the painting on the box is an early Mirage 2000-5F in test with CEAM of Mont de Marsan, squadron 05/ 330 at the time (today 01/ 30). And that painting is bad since it isn't the same number on the tail and on the nose gear door...
  7. I wouldn't go that far :lol: :pilotfly:
  8. Atlantique 2 maritime patrol aircraft.
  9. - it's black - not it isn't - it's black - no it isn't - ok, whatever...
  10. So contrary to your previous declaration, it's indeed a gamma issue. Don't fly at noon in the summer, pretty harsh light too IRL. Gamma 2.2 is the norm for any computer graphical application, 3D, photography, movies...
  11. Screeshot please. What is your gamma setting ?
  12. Yes, the easiest way would be that the lazing unit gives you target coordinates. Enter coordinates in PCN and you will be able to perform a CCRP designation to release GBU on target.
  13. This is easier, but it isn't mandatory. You can do without it, and it was done by several types of fighters in combat.
  14. Hi, You should contact Patlog :smilewink: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3520167#post3520167
  15. Radar Doppler Multimode. There are more differences than just the radar. And description of weapon system use with Exocet is very difficult to find (I tried).
  16. You don't need to go to VEI to edit your position, you can do it in ALN :smilewink: @Thinder Old video, the red number and ENC button aren't there anymore.

    Flood radar mode

    To my knowledge it isn’t available yet.
  18. You have to click “VAL” to launch alignment. The key is lit :smilewink:
  19. Hi, yes there is a bug after using AA gun or MAG. The HUD partially stay in combat mode (see G and AoA still displayed). You can get rid of it by cycling AG gun (select, go into attack mode, exit and unselect in PCA).
  20. The bug is that radar should have switched automatically to STT by this range. :music_whistling:
  21. I don't know where you took your data ? All this is false, Argentina doesn't have Mirage 2000 to begin with. Brazilian F-2000 were former Mirage 2000C S3 with M53-5 engine and S4 weapon systems (=RDI radar, no "sea mode" for Exocet) made available by French Mirage 2000-5F upgrade. These planes never carried the weapons you describe.
  22. Yet there is a bug on that screenshot: RK3 shouldn't appears on left PCA window. It's MAG/ MAV or nothing. Other weapons are displayed in the next window. (2nd from the left).

    S530 Range

    There are different things which can limit the full use of kinetic performances. For instance, on AIM-7F above, Vs 2m² RCS target, they can't lock the missile before 22Nm. And we have to make the difference between firing range and interception range. The Super 530D has a self destruction timer at 45s. The best data I have is that: https://www.3af.fr/sites/default/files/comaero_03.r.carpentier_missiles_tactiques.pdf The Super 530 D is the version adapted to the Mirage 2000 equipped with an on-board pulse Doppler radar (called RDI, pulse Doppler radar). The main differences in characteristics compared to the F are as follows: - semi-active Doppler EMD homing device (see Chapter 8, EMD), with 1980 digital technology (microprocessor for management); significantly increased range of the AD: 50 km; very high resistance to modern countermeasures ; - partially digitalized computer driver; - more powerful vehicle: increased mass and length (+ 30 kg and + 265 mm), 16 % higher total impulse thruster, with a SEP composite envelope ; - performance: maximum speed of Mach 5; increased possible height difference, allowing the attack of targets at 24 000 m; minimum target altitude of 60 m; maximum firing distance of 50 km, with an interception distance of 35 km. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) In this case the maximum lock range of the target is 27Nm, but the target's RCS isn't specified. The lanch parameters aren't specified either, but for sure this is high performance firing (high altitude & supersonic). Obviously, this data point isn't enough to cover the whole firing envelope. In my previous test at M1.6/ FL350, the missile reached 20.5Nm/ 38km. So we are pretty close...
