  1. I dont have access at such information but i can share what is happening in DCS.

    For example:

    The F-18 drops radar lock at a bandit turning cold in RWS when launching Sparrows at less than 10 miles.

    This is not happening when using TWS at the same range with the same missile, when STT at launch.

    F-14B doesnt drop lock of bandits turning cold when launching Sparrows at less than 10 miles.

    F-15E neither.

    lf the F-18 radar is unable to keep a radar lock on a hot bandit under 10 miles just because is turning cold in real life........

  2. You have plenty of choices not realism based around the game universe.

    If this kind of things annoys you some much i suggest just move to something not so " hardcore " and enjoy your spare time on that because almost any "study level" module in DCS has this kind of feautures like:

    Wait 90 seconds in the Harrier for the Mavs to be ready to use, everytime.

    Wait several minutes to align any DCS module with a real INS modelled from a cold start.

    Wait for GBU´s selected to align before they can be used on the Hornet or so.

    Warm up the right way engines on the warbirds if you dont want to kill them soon.

    There are so many examples of things, procedures, steps, you must do in order to flight properly a combat aircraft that if boresighting is to much for you to the point to uninstaling the Viper, then maybe is time just to rethink about your preferences and just move to something more fun for you from your point of view.

    But dont take my advice to seriously, i´m enjoying with my squad team mates simulating a LOLA zone in the Airbase with some triggers and sound files just to simulate we are arming the weapons before take off, and the same when we arrive with some ordinance hanging. Crazy. Isn it?

  3. Both ends opens when the Vikhr is launched-ignited, and get closed after released. No compresed gas needed. The motor ignites just inside the tube.

    Check this video. You can see several missiles fired and how the tube is open on both sides. (3:20-3:30). You can also take a look at the front door opening and closing,.

    EDIT: I think the rear end has several holes, 4 of them, from where the exhaust go through, but im not sure 100%.
