  1. Yea I’d also be interested to hear what Dawger thinks is „generous“ about the F-14 fm It may have been upon release, but by now it seems quite refined and on data.
  2. Sure. But the built-in capability to make a turn at 9G does not mean the engineers envisioned a game plan where you drone on in a continuous 9G 2Circle to win.Reclined seat or not. I think the current G-load modelling of DCS gives people the wrong ideas about fatigue or better lack of it in DCS.
  3. Su-15 would like to have a word.Both in regards to being on the way and to Sukhoi producing only bombers „back then“. Now back to F-4 topic.
  4. Caucasus or marianas islands. The less entry barriers the better in my opinion. Preferably the latter , as the desert, rocky ,middle east/persian gulf scenarios become a bit monotonous by now. Again , just my personal opinion.
  5. Like he wrote , it breaks the IC (integrity check) for multiplayer, so he can only use it for singleplayer
  6. Not sure I follow. I thought DLAA improved image quality at a slight performance hit and did not improve fps?
  7. @myHelljumper any update on progress on this issue? Can you push it internally? It’s a critical system for the Mig-19 modules in my opinion Your message was more than two years ago. thank you, kind regards. Snappy
  8. I don’t think this is true. AFAIK Mig-29 was overhauled (new 3D model) quite a while ago, it was shortly before the announcement of MAC. But that doesn’t mean they will do it again with FC3 aircraft.
  9. Hi Flappie, thank you very much for getting back to me on this. I’m away from home at the moment, so I can’t check in DCS whether this is the reason or not in the options for the example mission. But it is possible. Still I find it unlogical and counter-intuitive to label and include chaff&flares as „weapons“ , since they are really not. I recommend either renaming this option into „weapons&countermeasures“ or creating a new separate option for “expendable countermeasures & decoys“ . But thank you for your reply&explanation. I appreciate it very much Kind regards, Snappy
  10. Ok , kindly let me know how many flares releases exactly the AI needs to perform in a track for you to accept this as an issue? Serious question, so I can upload a new track. I wasn’t making this up and the tracks do show already a very high number of releases.
  11. Yes , at the top the glass the target dot still disappears even before reaching the edge. I captured a shot where you can see the dot begin to disappear, (only its lower half is still visible in my pic ) while still not at the actual edge of the glass : null
  12. Some more interesting stories&information from Andy Bush,including it’s capabilities in flat scissors vs . the Topgun F-5s https://combatsim.com/review.php?id=5 Plus this amusing story where he and his wingman outsmarted a duo of F-15 and gunned them.There he also mentions the ability to sustain 7G at around 400kts with the flaps . https://theaviationgeekclub.com/starfighter-4-eagle-0-that-time-two-f-104s-scored-four-simulated-kills-against-an-f-15b-in-a-single-training-mission/amp/
  13. Hi My suggestion: "Large roll inputs during g-load at low airspeed (Vi < 350km/h) may result in high roll rates as the g-load reduces. However, this is not to be confused with an inverted spin. If the roll inputs are neutralized, the roll ceases and the g-load returns to normal values ". Snappy. edit: While I was typing my reply Widen76's reply came in and had the original phrase translation. I agree with his suggestion to use slightly less technical expressions in the version for the manual.
  14. ? Mig-21, Mig-19 are FF true REDFOR.
  15. Check your definition of arcade. The FC3 aircraft almost all have PFM by now,so their flight models are on the highest level of accuracy, not sure what you consider arcade about them. Yes systems are simplified, no clickable cockpit. Doesn't make them arcade. Survey-sim maybe, yes. Asteroids is arcade. So is Pac-man.
  16. Hey , Thanks a lot for your detailed reply of the three elastic setting variants, you made a great explanation, I understand it better now! Much appreciated! Take care, Snappy
  17. Hi, see attached track files.AI aircraft (examples here F16 Blk50 and F18Lot20) have unlimited flares. In the track they dropped over a 100 pairs of flares each and showed no sign of stopping when I stopped recording. Also worse, aircraft like the VIggen, which actually need to carry a dedicated countermeasure pod to drop flares, are able to drop flares when completely clean without pod as AI version. (see attached track), Mission file also attached in case it is needed to play back the tracks. FlaresViggen.trk M2000cAir2Air.miz 130plusFlaresF18.trk 130plusFlaresF16.trk
  18. And how exactly would that help them in not getting in trouble with Russia for reproducing their military hardware in great detail and system fidelity? Just because that specific aircraft is on American soil? I donˋt think the problem is actual access to aircraft data or systems, the problem is having access and being able to use the data while still clearing Russian laws. For a company which probably still has significant assets and workforce in Russia this might be a different matter than for a purely US or EU or independent country based-company ..
  19. @myHelljumper could you kindly provide some insight or short explanation,what the options mean ?They aren’t covered by the manual . thanks
  20. Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion.To me it sounds as if he was talking about what’s next in EDˋs pipeline , not the overall pipeline of releases including 3rd party modules. And BNs post above from June said development will take longer. Anyway we will see.
  21. Hi, could somebody kindly explain to me what the three different options for the elastic limit axis mean exactly in practical terms? I tried them, but hard to say where the difference lies. English is not my native language & I have trouble understanding the difference, the Module manual unfortunately doesn't cover these special options. Recently I noticed that even without pressing the AP disconnect, pulling full aft stick would allow me to pull 10+G, so I'm guessing this is already beyond the normal limit. Which option do I need to select I just want the normal FBW limits as my physical joystick limits? Regards Snappy
  22. Well if you have a tacview of it, it would sure be interesting to see.Otherwise it’s just a claim, and in any case a lot hinges on Pilot skill anyway too.
  23. You cannot do that. The Mirage is a french aircraft. NATOPS (Naval Air Training and Operating Procedures Standardization) and are available for aircraft used by the U.S. Navy. As far as I'm aware , there is no official Mirage 2000 flight manual with performance data available in the public domain. There are some performance charts with turn rates floating around, yes. But they are not official/from Dassault and as far as I know they were produced by a competiting aircraft manufacturer that was trying to promote its own aircraft, so you better take the data with a grain of salt.
  24. Slightly OT , but: While I can easily imagine the JAG story line overdoing a bit, I'm pretty sure that episode was based on this impressive true feat,"Pardo's Push": https://www.historynet.com/pardos-push-an-incredible-feat-of-airmanship/?f https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/pardos-push-180962402/ Where , during the Vietnam war , one battle-damaged F-4 indeed pushed another even more battle damaged ,engines-out F-4 , by its lowered arrestor hook (for emergency cable engagements, as they were both Air Force planes) against its windshield for over 80 nautical miles , out of hostile terrain into a safer area, where both crews had to eject then. The crew was later awarded the silver star for it and rightly so. Regards, Snappy
  25. I haven’t touched the phoenixes in quite a while. Did the pre-patch version of it have less susceptibility to notching targets? Or are you disappointed that it has stayed as bad as before? Also , does the actual problem lie with the phoenix’ inability to pick up targets again after they exit the notch or is it the all-knowing AI that executes perfect unrealistic notching for the exact necessary duration to defeat the missile completely ? I mean, is it the missile or the AI behaviour ? I have no illusion that ED will make the AI behave more realistic or less perfect in the short term, if at all. They seem unable or unwilling to tackle this giant weakness in DCS in general.
