So what you're saying is that the mistral is correct and the stinger is wrong, so the stinger performance in DCS is not a good comparison? Personally if I had unlimited resources and was a high level decision maker in the DCS software development world, I would just have a few aerospace engineers look at how much fuel is in all the weapons in DCS, find out what type of fuel they are, what is their ISP & thrust, and then run CFD of the weapons at various altitudes various AoA and various G loading to really find out how they should perform relative to each other inside of the game engine. In DCS it is quite obvious that the mistral missile's ballistic performance breaks the meta of DCS. I mean its a pretty hard pill to swallow that the mistral missile which is a very small lightweight and inexpensive (in relative terms) weapon employed from a lightweight and relatively "cheap" helicopter, performs on par with or outright outperforms the AIM-9X, R-73 and more, not to mention stinger, igla ect... It basically breaks the meta of DCS by not fitting into the DCS "World" no pun intended ;), now I believe you when you say you have spoken with operators of the real weapon system and you are alot closer reality then other weapon systems in DCS, it would be your due diligence to do so :thumbup:. However, the performance of the missile is just so outside the scope of DCS that is breaks the meta, hurts immersion, and generally hurts the community, in single player, its not much of a problem, but in multiplayer, it is. I will say I am a bit disappointed in your hard-line stance against changing ballistic performance of the mistral missile, I hope you reconsider, it would (ahem) help you gain/keep customer(s) ;) but if not for that then for the health of the multiplayer community.:pilotfly:

Well rotor blades spinning at high speed are a huge radar return irl. But, DCS doesn't model this because... DCS things. Also you can fire ET's from STT, its the only way to get give good guidance without LOBL, basically just turns an ET into a LOAL IR missile. Being a Mig-29 though, I would put money on it being an R-77, R-27 don't track low/slow targets very well... at all....

This link is dead? You don't happen to have access to another one do you?

Have they said anything about implementing the Vozdukh-1 Lazur datalink? I believe it was present on the Mig-21 Mig-23 and Early Mig-29. If they could get it working on their Mig-23 module we might see it come to other aircraft as well. I think that would be pretty cool.

I have the the vive controllers but I just use the mouse. alot easier.

Sorry if this has been asked but is there a way to map unique Jester command, like mapping left arrow on keyboard to "Jester, BVR Mode, Azimuth, Radar Left" Going through all the menus every time I want him to scan around is a little clunky The other things would be nice too like being able to tell him to scan wide or narrow ect...

Specs are 8600k 5.1 Ghz, GTX1080ti +65 core +450 mem. And I play in VR with Pimax 5k+ I play with textures on high, everything else off except MSAA which is set at 2x. I use the VR performance mod with the MASKSIZE adjusted to fit the 150 degree FoV I use on the Pimax, and I change the MSAA MASKVALUE slightly to fit the larger sweet spot on the Pimax. in Single player I can run fine, game is always locked to 45fps due to ASW/Smartsmoothing, however Steam VR leaves the resolution at my default 100% setting. In multi player though, performance tanks hard, I still maintain 45fps in all aircraft except the f-14 it dips into low 40s sometimes. And in Multiplayer Steam VR auto resolution adjustment really kicks in a looks pretty bad in comparison to single player.

F-8 and F-4 + Vietnam map = heaven.

ok I'll give that a try, I was running 6.25 before.

been messing around with the MASKSIZE to get it dialed in for the pimax 5k+ set to normal FOV, can't seem to dial it in, anybody else want to share their settings?

You know instead of a helicopter tournament, I'd love too see a 3rd gen and older tournament, planes like the F-5 and Mig-21/19 will never be in satal because they aren't competitive, but a dedicated 3rd/2nd gen tournament would be super cool.

I can't seem to find one for sale anywhere.

I run 2 trackers, just to make sure I don't have any drops in coverage when I'm craning my head around ect... I have one kind of infront of my caddy corner and another behind me doing the same. although I still get little drops every no and again when my chair gets in the way while I'm trying to look behind me. I would say 2 light house trackers is the minimum.

Being a "low" intensity conflict between 2nd or 3rd rate powers using surplus equipment ect... I think a prop plane for blue and red would make sense.

I had no idea this folder even existed, this will definitely help in the future, thank skatezilla.

Now why didn't I think of that.... lol thanks!

This is very helpful thank you!

Hey boys, I'm having a hard time finding a couple CLSID's the Aim-7E, Aim-9P5 and Aim-9L. Anybody know where I can find them Or where to search for CLSID's if they aren't in the aforementioned location? Trying to add these to the hardpoints on an F-104 I'm working on but not having any luck. They are not in the db_weapons_data.lua

Same issue, I have the F-14 pre-ordered on steam, but no CD key to transfer to standalone, will I be able to transfer after I get an F-14 key from steam?

Hello, I'm running open beta, I reinstalled my game recently. I'm also playing via Steam VR "stable" using HTC Vive. Steps to reproduce: 1. Login to main menu 2. Open settings, 3. Control bindings. 4. Change anything. 5. Click "OK". 6. Game freezes. I did find a workaround. If I load into a single player or multiplayer mission and I open the menu and adjust controls they I can make changes without the game freezing. Let me know if you need anything else, DXdiag ect...

I haven't seen any gains in performance at all. In fact today was the first day I logged in to play and my FPS was so bad that it was unplayable. Not sure what is going on.

I've pre-ordered a 5K+ I just pray to the Wags god that DCS get VR running like it did back in 1.5 by the time I receive mine. :)

So how do you draw fuel from the drop tanks, and how do you know when they are empty?

please no F-111, Tornado!

Great videos Zhen. I agree the mistral just doesn't seem to perform "the way it should" considering its better then an aim9x. Or maybe all other Fox 2's are broken? Which I don't believe.
