Grüße! Wir, das Jagdgeschwader Frankonia, fliegen seit vielen Monaten auch sehr viel cold war und F-4E. Unser Public2 Server hat eine Nachstellung vom FuldaGap. Wir haben in unserem Szenario auch noch eine paar vereinzelte Mi-24 HIND und MIG-29 im westen. Alles mit early Bundeswehr skins versehen. Beheimatet sind wir in PFF Pferdsfeld. ich werde jedenfalls öfters hier reinsehen. Klingt sehr interessant was ihr macht . LG

Hello! There are two bindings. A normal one and a relative one. The one you binded might be me "normal" one. Check the controls again and select the "relative" one. The TDC will stay where you left it off. greets

@CrazyGman Look at my tacview. I tried it again, and my missiles were precooled for at least 5 minutes. I was in HELM mode and constantly looking at him. The R-73 never got off the rail. R-73 test.zip.acmi

Thank you for that info! the full minute is not a big deal for me as long as you know it. i‘ll continue testing this day and see what the R-73 can do.

I played alot around with the R-73s. I tried to engage ai ace MIG-23 with R60Ms and R-24s. i was nose hot until i saw smoke of his R-24. Then i cranked around 20-25 degree, put the nose down and set up for HELM mode. As we were closing to each other i got the dashed circle from the IRST, but i was never able to launch the R-73. Even under 5 miles. I repeated this, did the same, but this time i turned hot on him around 7nm. Same thing. No chance to release the R-73. It seems like a front aspect limitation to me. I dont know. Another big unsolved mystery for me is, that I never ever heard the typical sidewinder growling tone in that airplane.

I‘ve tested a lot these days. if i turn the ECCM switch to AJ i can lock targets from greater distance. Regarding pK i did not see an improvement. Almost every R-27r/er is getting either chaffed away or outmaneuvered. Tested on hostile mig-21 and 23. The dcs ai is still stupid as it was years ago. No matter what, enemies starting their evasive meneuver at ~10nm range from them to the missile. That behaviour is hardcorded and includes fox1 and fox3 missiles. Fox2 works good imho. Next on my list is a 2-Ship flight wirh my buddy. He is firing his 27ER, while i try to send my 27ET after his fox1.

I still dont get it with the R-73 and the Monocle. How the heck do you shoot the R-73 using its own sensor and not the IRST? I never get the typical fox2 sensor growling noise. Just looking with the HMD without pressing the "LOCKON" Button does nothing. No growling noise and no chance to get it off the rail. Pressing and holding "LOCKON" just gives me the IRST lock. For my understanding the dashed crosshair means its in a R-73 lock, right?

Hey there fellas! Do you have an idea what this symbolgy is about? KNQX is the ICAO for the Naval Air Station Key West. You see a F/A-18 right on the 29s nose. The picture has been taken by Robert „Robbs“ Hierl, a former german Mig-29 Pilot. Therefore this must have been a MIG-29G.

Do you get the sidewinder growling sound? What are your settings with the R73 in HELM mode? Radar ILLUM? The main question for me is. Is it possible to control the r73s seekerhead with your hmd just like you can do in the F16/18.

Hello mate! I havent figured out how to release the R-73 beyond 30° off the nose. If i use the HELM mode i can use the IRST within its 30° gimbal limit. The manual says -"R73 missiles can be launched without releasing the lockon button, but the target must the tracked via the HMD"- That means for me i just look with the HMD to the target without locking it. Just like in the F16 or F18. I´am used to get a sidewinder growl noise when directing via hmd to a heat source. This can be either the sun or an airplane. I´am always stuck with the IRST in helmet mode. What am i doing wrong here?' Settings are default. Radar to ILLUM, COOP switch in no retard position.

Hello fellas! I dont know if this has been asked before. I noticed the new Full Fidelity MIG-29 does not have the visual wingflex. The FC3 variant did have a realistic looking wingflex. What happened here? Is the flexing also coming to the new Fulcrum?

@BIGNEWY Dear ED Team! As mentioned above from Migow. We also do have huge performance issues with our dedicated servers. FYI, with almost 30 active pilots we´re one of the biggest squadrons in germany. Right now we do run one of the biggest, avaible for everyone, dynamic missions for the CW Germany Map. The map shows a dynamic training range, medic/rescue missions for helos, taskings on critical infrastructure which affects the opponents weaponry e.g. destroying a factory forces enemy fighters to have only fox2s and so on. The map is built around the f4 phantom and takes place in that era of time. Since the update .10523 we are dealing with huge problems. High CPU temperatures on the client side and bad performance on the server side. The last update .10973 did not change anything. The high temperature problem still persists. It differs everytime you restart DCS. CW Germany has been released with .9408 and it was running butterly smooth up to .10523 Please help us. We do not know where start here. What did you change? The head of MOOSE is also part of our team. You are very welcome to our discord and your help is much appreciated to get things forward.

Its not just a temperature thing. Even our dedicated server is affected by this issue. I cannot monitor temps on the servers CPU, but what we have is unplayable missions on the CW Germany map. Prior to .10523 everything was butterly smooth. Now it became unplayable. Interestingly our Caucasus and Nevada based missions are still running on the servers side. On the client side we see troughout alle maps higher CPU temps.

@BIGNEWY When can we expect a hotfix? Edit: I tested again today on the CW Germany Map. Hitting 85 degrees CPU Temp when entering the F4 on the ground. Under .9599 temperature was never going beyond 66 degrees. I’am cooling the 9800X3D with a NZXT Kraken V2 Elite 360mm. Our squadrons dedicated server shows the biggest issue here. We are struggling with pretty intense desyncs since .10523. Our main public mission is no longer playable.

9800X3D with 360mm AIO. Since .10523 increased temperature by at least 10°. Its not just on the client side i guess. Even our dedicated server shows increased CPU load.

Waiting for Steam

Same time over here where i´am located :). I´am not sure if we see this patch in the next 1 or 2 hours.

@salival007 Many thanks my friend. Much appreciated .

I hope you will continue your work one day. Your missions were very appreciated in our squadron.

Hello Salival! You seem to have some Symbols for the F4E. Can you share the symbols without the profile? I guess this would be much appreciated. I´am using the streamdecks with the DCSFP software for data export. There´s everything custom made. I could really make use of your great symbols. greets

@Surrexen Are you talking about the Map itself or DCS? i‘am assuming you‘re referring to DCS when you say „too many bugs“

@Surrexen Hey m8, me and all the pilots in our squadron are really enjoying your dynamic missions in PG, Caucasus and Syria. We‘ve been flying these missions in rotation. Starting with the first conflict in PG and working up trough caucasus. We added different weather settings, custom kneeboards and did some adjustments for our squadron. We even had a cold war version of one of your missions. Now i‘am asking you if there is going to be a similar mission for the new Sinai Map?

Regarding Phoenix and flying BVR engagements i´ve been wondering for the past 2 years and asking myself -> WHY DO WE HAVE A DATALINK WHICH IS LIMITED TO SHOW A MAX AMOUNT OF 8 CONTACTS? During Mike "Nasty" Manazir´s Q&A Session done by "Aircrew Interview" on Youtube i had the opportunity to ask Mike directly. He just answered that this limitation is just a DCS thing. Anyone here wo knows more about this? Maybe i can direct my question right to the developers of HB.
