I still have never seen a single photo of it. I’m sure it’s technically possible, but toes that line of simulation “is it possible or should we avoid it because it was never done in service? Even the joke photo on 24D phalanga rails is a M

I love turning the pedal damper off! I think it’s a valuable trick that not many people take advantage of!

Not sure how up to date your reading of Russian pilot complaints are, but MiG-29 FM was updated with DCS 2.9 to have more aggressive SAU damper that makes it fly smoother and better ground effect that makes landing much easier S upgrade can’t cover R-77-1 becuase it didn’t exist at the time.

They work when bound to my HOTAS. Odd

It would be great for FFB, but not sure how it would work for regular sticks

The exact limits for toppling the gyro are 30 degrees roll, and seemingly around 10-20 degrees/s pitch/yaw rate Sometimes when partly broken, you can still get Petro to target units on one specific side of your nose

Open beta or stable? There was a bug that was fixed, but not sure stable is updated to the build with the patch

Note the updated flight control system of the S upgrade is not simulated in DCS. All use the same flight model, and like A-10A sure any updates will be backported A-10A is supported. So little need to worry. It’s more of an issue that FC3 probably doesn’t make enough money to allow much work

Agreed

Sure, even KBM made this advertisement in a 1993 magazine describing Shturm vs Ataka flight times while Ataka was being developed. Here, Ataka is identified as Shturm variant 1. There are many such discrepancies you can see in the relevant section of the tankograd blog post on Soviet ATGMs https://thesovietarmourblog.blogspot.com/2021/07/soviet-atgms.html?m=1#kokon It’s just interesting

Additionally, there are manuals that will explicitly call it’s a “Shturm” missile and an “Ataka” missile. I won’t post here, but you can see it in 1987 Mi-24V manuals that Ataka first appears in. While Shturm is also the name of the complex including guidance, I think there is some grey area as the Ataka was developed and added, where Shturm was used to refer to the older missile without sayin “Kokon” and Ataka only meant the newer missile, while not referring to anything non missile as “Shturm.” So while “Kokon” is technically correct, I think after a certain point people in the military, including those writing the manuals, used Kokon and Shturm interchangeably

I would be surprised to get anything more then 15-18 km on anything but after burning targets or look up, even at high altitude

Idk if you are talking about the wallpaper picture in this thread or the secret picture no one is posting, but the wallpaper picture in this thread is definitely 9.12. The spine isn’t convex but more or less a straight line, and you can see the indentations for the square avionics equipment racks right above the auxiliary intake

Deka has said in these forums that the wingtip stations are not strong enough to hold PL-8, its above the wingtip mass limit. That is unless you want to carry PL-8 instead of other underwing weapons…..

Yes I believe it can, if lock fails

S-8OFP2 has an engine with 2x the power and 50% more weight. It will always fly differently

Too bad the dog only comes with the 9.13 DLC we’ll get after 5 years…..

From the DCS Mi-8 manual

The confusion could also come from that R-23 had a 24-26 kg warhead. So it’s increased for R-24 in an unexpectedly large amount. R-27 is really more refinement and evolution then advancing revolution……

Yes, one advantage the R-27 has over R-24R, 11m vs 6m fuse and 39 kg warhead vs 34 kg EDIT: ED files has 25 if so I thought difference was larger, but just looked up real world manual which says 34 kg

Sometimes 3rd parties doing certain features has led to ED prioritizing an in house equivalent. Fingers crossed for when MiG-23MLA is tested by ED and they see how much the users like the Lazur GCI system on it

I actually looked up the range of the R-862 radio that the Beryuza relies on, At 1,000m you have at least 120 km range 5,000m it is 250 km at least And at 10,000m at least 350 km range But I have heard that Chizh confirmed on Russian forums that ED MiG-29 “A” will not have the data link, so big sad

I really hope this happens. It is so close, I don’t care about after they added the NATO radios and IFF, but I don’t really know how long if at all that happened after the instrument/VWS system change

There is a MiG-29 manual that says if R-27 lock is lost, you should enter BVR search and point the radar at the target in the last ditch hope that the target is illuminated for the missile. It used to be possible in DCS, I would have fun firing a R-27 and having it guide, then drop lock for a few seconds, then regain it for terminal phase. Would be fun to make the target think weird things from STT missile launch going on and off. Alas it is unrealistic

Yes, that’s what happens in DCS and should be roughly similar to reality. I was just wondering what makes you so passionate that it’s “WRONG”
