I mean, they have plenty of Crypto rigs, they definitely can manage. As has been proven by the blackmarket Tomcat parts, embargo and sanctions are just ideas on paper to make politicians feel like they accomplished something useful. ‘S all good, nothing to see here for you.

We’ve had the 135 late A for some time. Work on the Early A was concurrent to the Phantom due to some common factors, and The Phantom is in current all hands phase for EA release. That’s been the word for about the last 3-6 months. Phantom system development will feed early A. And most wirk has been towards Phantom EA release. A lot of Heatblur still has Day jobs, and yea, with luck the Early A will drop the day after Iran finally scraps their last Tomcat. So we can enjoy it without the shadow of it being used as an Iranian training tool.

Point the radar narrow beam straight at the jammer strobe line an try to burn through em with brute force I think. Remember to turn Jam strobes on on the HCU.

Unfortunately Electronic Warfare is still one of those cutting edge military tech things. Even old units directly tie to modern stuff. Also noise and interference are orders of magnitude harder to model than perfectly well behaved EM waves. War gamer dice rolls are probably the best we’ll see in commercial stuff for some time.

Easy solution, use the free and superior in every way due to bridle catchers Forestall. The Super Carrier (aka: Combined Arms the boat) is probably never getting better and heatblur can only work with what they’re given.

Those are the radio display. It’s been broke like that for a long time.

Bugs and PROBLEMS. It’s being described as a PROBLEM. Seriously, you Don’t work for or rep ED or HB. Other people get a say here too.

Are you having a particularly hard time in your life right now that clinging to game realism is the only thing holding you together right now? The Bingo button is slow for the method of interface between the pretend real cockpit and the user interface of the game. While with an absolute rotary encoder it’s fine. Most people are not playing with an absolute rotary encoder to set their bingo. If they’re very lucky like me the have a basic encoder or are using the mouse and or a key/joystick bind and that’s artificially slow for the real input you cherish so much. So is it “realistic” for the sim engagement of the knob to take significantly more time and effort as well as requiring constantly looking at the knob taking away eye time from other tasks? Or is the same amount of simulated “effort” more correct to “realistically” represent the tomcat? What definition of Real are you using, and is it appropriate to the tasks intended to be simulated by DCS? Same age old simulator question, Fidelity vs Functionality.

Show your work.

Been saying that since 2.5 dropped.

It’s not a real person. No more than any AI pilot. They don’t run on the same rules as the player interface. So omissions like this only come up when you hot swap with it because it never needs those switches to function properly.

This is the stuff you would feel way before you saw it. How are those air bladder jet seats for subtle stuff like this, he asked while his wallet weeped.

No, a real person needs them, Jester is part of the game. He knows things without looking at gauges. Otherwise he would set them up correctly.

That’s because he doesn’t need them. Presumably when he flakes out on you during low speed maneuvering he arms the seat as he’s ejecting.

Probably because they don’t own a set. Same as how Force Feedback support was stalled for a while because they didn’t have a working FFB stick for a while. I’m sure they would love if someone sent them a set to develop with.

Is Jester just running the same as the auto chaff switch setting in the back? Or is he thinking better? Because auto blows off chaff at missiles in another time zone.

Yeup, as in life, also in sim.

Lost PLA to aluminum works quite well.

Just go ask any Viggen pilots about feature completeness. Or worse any Razbammer.

What peer AA threat is there today? We’re still just bombing randos in the dessert Shooting RC planes at us.

The F-5 has an actual working gun camera?

I mean, they had to put a Gun back on the F-4 because of this. It’s good, for a 1960’s value of good, but the Phoenix was made for the very reason that the Sparrow was limited by its primitive guidance. And the AMMRAM was made when they could fit a better system than the Phoenix in the Sparrow form factor that could talk to more radar systems.

oh that’s right! It’s AA missiles I was thinking. Can you tell how often I’ve been flying anything other than the Tomcat?

Why does AF cause stuttering in VR should be the real question. AF these days is basically a fixed 100% setting that devs should just plan on being there. What’s wrong with the VR implimentation?
