Since the KH-66 is a beam-riding missile it is highly unlikely there was a possibility of buddy guidance...

Well, what we should expect isn't necessary a bigger range... but better performance against maneuvering target, something a keen to CFD modeled Aim-7 now... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3887106&postcount=263

Ping for the update :)

Guys, dicussing if the R-27 famliy is undermodeled is exosted to bits... even ED said it needs the update and that they plan to update them. So basicliy only thing which can be done it requesting that they increse the priority of the updated since I think we all agree that the Red air needs a bit of love and that its undermodeling is hurting a big part of the community.

SPO-10 too.

I will add this to list of small improvments for the MIG, I hope ED pick up on it... https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3986611&postcount=1

Completely agree! I love it to bits!

I am expecting it to be quite useful in the current Blue Flag environment if they stick it into interceptor slots... Radar should be more or less on par with the current MiG-29A radar, just few km weaker.... the R-24s will perform more or less similar to the current un-updated R-27s... I see the scenario of running in... F-poling the amraam... getting the R-24s off... turning and out accelerating and outrunning the newer stuff...

Keep up the good work! Any news on the SPO-10 update :cry:

7. The brightness setting of the HDD and HUD should be independent.

I forgot to add one more thing. 6. Sound launch Que when locked with ШЛЕМ like in RL.

India just bough R-27 missiles under the emergency procurement route to arm the Indian Air Force’s (IAF’s) fleet of Su-30MKI fighters. Does anybody have more info? What is the reasoning behind the purchase, do they know something we don't? It seams strange to go trough that route and buy such an old missile especial since they are already fielding the R-77s... https://www.defenseworld.net/news/25209/India_Buys__218M_Worth_R_27_Missiles_For_Its_Su_30MKI_Fighters#.XUA7tOgzZEY

I just wanted to compile a small list of improvements for the fulcrum that easy to do and would increases Fulcrum combat effectiveness ( so I am not going to ask for R-27 flight model update even though I think it is critical and the biggest thing hurting it, nor DL HUD mode display or AAQ radar modes since they would require a lot of work) So here is the list: 1. CM counter. it just a two numbers to display you already have in the code. The display is '60' right behind the stick. I can't even count how many times it got me killed not knowing the number of CM left. ***Fixed*** 2. HUD Steering Cue out of Bounds. The should be confined to the HUD itself. I keep wasting precious time when locking the target in vertical search trying to figure where the hell is it just because the steering cue is nowhere to be found 3. Radar angles and modes hard reset. I hate when on jamming or mode change, target loss etc, angles and ranges reset... in the real aircraft those are hard switches with positions, the radar should stay where it is. Again, is is adding confusion and time loss 4. Of course nav panel/number. Nothing brakes immersion like having to go to F10 map or such. ***Fixed*** 5. Lighten up more the RWR panel ***Fixed*** 6. Sound launch Que when locked with ШЛЕМ like in RL. 7. The brightness setting of the HDD and HUD should be independent. 8. Ability to drop the center thank first, and then the wing tanks. Since now they drop all at once. 9. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php...9&postcount=33 ***Fixed*** 10.Smoke out of the engines should be reduces on low RPM: Air Marshal Harish “Fulcrum 1” Masand talks about that smoke is manageable and much smaller on low rpm ***Fixed*** 11. PPS look down range should be adjusted up by 30%: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php...1&postcount=32 ***Fixed*** 12. АП (5) Mark should remain when jamming target is locked, currently it is there in search mode if there is active jamming but disappears when you lock the target. It is important for it to remain since it gives clear indication if you can employ R-27Rs in HOJ mode. 13. HPRF and MPRF (PPS and ZPS) switch. At lower ranges then 30km it is more beneficial to use MPRF, but if you are in STT there is no way to tell which one is currently used. The animation for the switch is already in the game but not connected with the code. 14. Instrument brightness control or tweak. Namely instrument backlighting\floodlight is it is now too bright and it can be turned off or controlled separately I know many ppl have gripes regarding the flight model, but with good curves on the controller I really can't find any faults on it, but that is my personal opinion, and it might me wrong.

Having an button/menu option to force Jester to IFF targets would be good and something quite natural.

Just to save you guys approx 25 pages of conversation. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3887106&postcount=263 But I think it would be beneficial if you pushed ED to move up the R-27 family update.

Agreed I am not quite sure what you are trying to say here, English isn't my first language, sorry about it. I can only speculate it guides on search/side-lobe/altitude return/back lobe and HOJ. STT would be too situational and deprecated. If so I can see few application for stealth frontal attacks and also few dual launch tactics... on the other end could be just a AWACS/Slow Jammer killer. For sure it is a situational weapon... but so is the R-27T. Also jammers do try to jam search radars. You turn on you search radar, get jammed, so you launch at the source in basically some type of quasi-TWS launch/HOJ launch. In the end more things say it exist to some extent, what can't be said for the R-27AE. Passive attack over 'R' and more reliable front attack then 'T'?

Ok, lets see what we know and what can we just speculate on R-27P. Known: -Advertise both by ARTEM and Vympel as product since the mid-2000's -Looks almost the same as R-27R -Shown on some armament charts (taking only same stations as ETs, seeker limitation?) -Probably deployed to Syria (Test if it can lock on NATO Jammers and Radars?) Speculate: -How it works -What is it on homing (STT, Radar, Radar Side-Lobes, Jammer and Jammer Types) Benefits it gives: - Fire and Forget - Passive attack Disadvantages: - Lower Pk and range due much less target data - Easy to defeat by turning off jammer and radar (but forcing enemy to do that has some benefits) For what I can tell it does bring something as tool in the toolbox but it ain't no Swiss army knife AMRAAM.

It also has home-on-jam ability making a whole different ball game.

I am getting more more confused by the R-27П, both ARTEM and Vympel do advertise it in their product portfolio, unlike R-27EA. Which means there is production knowledge both in UKR and RUS (and its not like they are sharing weapon blueprints in recent times), highly unlikely if it was left only prototype level or as project requiring funding. Also now the armament tables are starting to show up referencing it https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3956079&postcount=6868 http://vympelmkb.com/products/upravl...1-r-27ep1/183/ http://www.artem.ua/en/produktsiya/aviation-means-of-attack-and-defense/air-to-air-missiles-r-27ep1 With that said I didn't find any flight manuals that give information on its use or anything.

There is quite substantial thread about the R-27s here, you might want to check it. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=229050&page=28 I am hoping the promised R-27s family update comes soon.

I am not disputing any sources that Р-27П is not in service, but both ARTEM and Vympel do advertise it in their product portfolio. Which means there is production knowledge both in UKR and RUS, highly unlikely if it was left only prototype level or as project requiring funding. http://vympelmkb.com/products/upravlyaemaya-raketa-r-27p1-r-27ep1/183/ http://www.artem.ua/en/produktsiya/aviation-means-of-attack-and-defense/air-to-air-missiles-r-27p1

Guys, that feature is already in DCS... check Havadarya per example

Missed from the changelog or not picked up by the patch build?

I wish they would just add the 3d model with SFM as AI, similar to other models someone doesn't own. That would mean servers can enable it for players who use it, and players who don't, would see the correct 3d model.... I would love to use the A-4 on the BF servers...
