thanks for your quick reply. I decided to do some testing. I put myself in a F-18 and made another F-18 fly at me, I set a trigger so when I fire a missile I explode 1 second later. the result was interesting. there is no AWACS and I explode 24nm away from the bad guy the missile lofts and once the Aim-120C is 8nm away 20,000ft above the target and 92degree's offset with the missile flying nose into space it then does a dive down and kills the bad guy. I've attached a tacview file. I thought without support this couldn't happen right? or is the radar FOV big enough to still be picking this up? Edit: so I did this same test with a few aircraft and they seem to do basically the same thing except the aim-54 flew straight past it. So i knew the aim-54 had to be told to go Pitbull but I'm guessing most other missile just do it themselves correct? toying with Aim-120C.zip

does anyone know how far away from the target can the Aim-120C track the target once gone Pitbull? or as soon as it's launched? reason why I ask today I was messing about in SP and I watched my missile tracking in to see how it reacted. however I saw the contact fire an Aim-120C then 2 seconds later my missile destroyed the aircraft. so I figured the Aim-120c didn't go Pitbull so I'm fine. when the missile came off the rail I was 19nm from it and it tracked me perfectly all the way till it hit me. I thought this wasn't able to happen if it the mothership wasn't able to support it until Pitbull? I had another thought that it just kept flying until it picked me up again. but in the TACVIEW you can see the missile itself is always tracking and turning straight for me

And if rockets for inner pylons?

In the end people are Always going to be jealous and there are people who can’t handle loosing a Fair fight. But I can’t handle ED supporting or entertaining the communities complaints cause they can’t deal With loosing. ED need to stop passively supporting this biased hate towards the JF-17 and Deka. One comment from ED that supported the JF-17 and Deka’s work would make all this go away, but they choose not to. ED wouldn’t tolerate this for their modules and they have gone on the defence for heatblur before so where are they now?

Wonder if you would share the same opinion if it was American origin aircraft? Highly doubt it.

Well said sir. :thumbup:

I also find some servers with only some start points you still need to add ground power first.

By they way this person is talking it sounds like he personally made the Raptor

Ok cool thanks

Yeah I always select night mode no matter day or night, I find it easier to read. I should note I am using VR tho. But I notice when I change it to night mode and make the screens duller again by pressing the brt on the screens only the back lighting changes. But the graphics and writing is still so bright I get total washout while using NVG

Once we used to be able to change which end of the runway we could land by changing the runway on the left MFD. however awhile ago something changed and it seems we can only choose left or right FAF but not change which end we want to land from. Am I missing something or can we not do it anymore? I realise this change happen awhile ago.

Do we know if they plan to adjust the lighting of the MFD’s at night time? The screen itself gets dull but the weighting and graphics stay really bright making it very difficult to use NVG in the cockpit

I use the ground crew to input the starting coords all the time, it works great

How interesting I saw you today on the Growling serve asking this question. I was doing Air to ground so didn’t fire the SD-10 but I did end up watching you to see how the missile acted. Didn’t see you fire one tho I know this answered nothing.

+1 here also

Why is the SD-10 the most restricted with only 2x so-10 when everyone else get 6x aim-120 or 4x AIM-54?

Very good point

I think most would love all missiles to be tested and developed in the same manner, however in light of the SD-10 and Aim-120 in the recent months I think a lot of people have lost trust in ED to not favour their missiles over 3rd party ones that effect ED’s product. I know we can say that’s bad for business and they wouldn’t do such things but that won’t change a lot of people’s minds. I for one thought it would be a radical idea to suggest ED would do such things. However now I sit on the fence. I now do think ED Will always rush to buff their product if it’s needed and take a very long time to get around to fixing 3rd party weapons. I also at present think ED has an opinion that the SD-10 can’t be as it is with battery and chaff and notch resistance as it’s current state for no real reason then it’s not some famous American missile, and these topics are OPINION based not CFD. ( so sick and tired of hearing CFD being the answer to all) So I think if ED get their hands on the SD-10 it will become a very nerfed missile. But I could be totally wrong so I guess we will see in the future. To cut my long winded story short many people have serious trust issues with ED now and actually aren’t looking forward to all weapons being handed over to ED

You really need to eat your own words. You are the ONLY one who’s none stop whining about the SD-10 and you clearly are the Biased one here. I’m guessing that your opinion of the new Ironman aim-120c with its 180 degree turn to hit targets it over shot completely within limits. Why don’t you just stay in the forums that you like which I presume is the F-18 and let the people who like the JF stay here.

I fired at a target at 70nm, 60nm, 50nm, 40nm with Aim-120c and SD-10 The first Aim-120 arrives at the same point as the aircraft at Mach 1.9 the second arrived at Mach 2.01, exact same test with SD-10 is 2.01 at 60nm cause I can’t lock past 63nm. Even more weird the 4th Aim-120c fires at 40nm still had M1.22 even after it did Almost 180degree turn in the opposite direction to chase the wreckage falling to earth. Strange your not high lighting the aim-120 over performing even with its iron man abilities. You being Biased has lost your credibility on this thread can’t you see that?

Personally I think 3 hits to kill a MBT is completely reasonable. I am very pleased the SD-10 got it battery life back and now the rockets now the more correct guidance. Haven’t tried yet for myself tho.

I find that happens to me some times, The fact it doesn’t ground stabilise if I’m within 21nm is always triggers me to set air to ground, always sorts it out for me

You make some valid points but you too have to agree there has been some jealous attacks towards this aircraft from the f-18 f-16 community and too me it does seem ED has protect their product. So hard to keep a good attitude when it does seem this plane gets nerfed because of product protection or jealously but no actual evidence that’s it needed to be nerfed or even having evidence it shouldn’t have been nerfed.

No I haven’t tried them for a week or so now. Will give them ago tonight Cheers

You have multiple people informing you guys they are having serious problems even with videos to show you what is happening and you continually persist there is nothing wrong. What’s the go? This isn’t going to be fixed any time soon is it? I’m more then happy to do another video to show no matter what point track or area track with the slightest turn or climb it indeed won’t hit they target with the exception of a few that do hit and I mean maybe 3 hit out of 20
