Hi, is this server usually online 24/7 or only during certain times ? I'm on open beta and its usually not appearing in the server list for me and when I try to connect via IP . I get a "server is offline" message. Kind regards, Snappy

Disregard, think I found it in the other thread about display zoom.

Hi guys, sorry silly question, but what again is the name of the key bindings for radar range scale (top left of the HUD) increase/decrease? I can't find that, I have found estimated target range ( lower middle of HUD) but can't the radar scale increase /decrease. Thanks and kind regards, Snappy

Hi everyone, sorry probably silly question, still fairly new to DCS MP..: Is there any way to read out my own ping value before or after joining a server? Or is there any indication in color code( like red for high ping) Couldn‘t find it so far. Thanks a lot, Kind regards, Snappy P.S.: Hope this is the right subforum for the question,otherwise Mods, feel free to move it .

Hmm don‘t think you can make such a general statement.Highly depends on which aircraft we are talking about. If you look at the various EM diagramms floating around, there are quite a few aircraft ( only talking jets now) where the speed for minimum radius is quite a bit below corner speed and more importantly, the difference in turn radii is significant, eg. radius being halved or more at the lower speed.The lower speed and decreased turn radius seems to me what counts in a 1circle fight. So far I m also problems understanding the advice of the mentioned book. Kind regards, Snappy.

Nealius, depending on weapons loadout and fuel load the F-14s weight can be close to 10 times the roughly 3-ton weight of a Spitfire.Guess it has a tiny bit more of inertia therefore. So maybe its not that eager with dropping its nose, unless out of energy. Kind regards, Snappy

Hi, not sure which tutorials exactly you watched. In case you didn't know, the Mirage is undergoing some major rework right now, in order to get the system (e.g. weapons selection / HUD ) closer to real aircraft functionality. So there are many things that don't work the way they did before , due to changed (more realistic) functionality. Could be , even likely, that your tutorials still referred to the pre-update state of systems. So you can now either search these RAZBAM forums for instructions on how to work the new system design or you wait until the Mirage overhaul is completed (could still be a little while) and the new manual and training missions are rolled out along with it. Hope that helps. Kind regards, Snappy

Tend to agree, the slightly higher air density of the cold air accounting for a roughly 20% increase in available sustainable turn rate (compared to the standard 15degree temp) at same 50% fuel state seems a bit high at first glance,even if both ,lift and engine output get gains from it. But can‘t say really ..would be good to hear from the developers on this. Kind regards Snappy

Is the Viggen Mini NTTR DACT Campaign coming out as well?

Well, it would be really helpful if the OP or the creator of the tacview file would chime in and add some information on how exactly and under which conditions he flew that.. Kind regards, Snappy

Sorry and you can‘t make it official because of what? Serious question, I‘m not taking potshots at you. Thank you. Kind regards, Snappy

Hi River, ok thanks a lot for your super-fast reply.Good to hear the handlings tips will return in the future. Kind regards, Snappy

Hi everyone, after lately checking in again here in the F-14 forums after a while I noticed the sticky thread with the excellent Tomcat handling writeup by Victory205 is no longer there? Was it moved elsewhere/renamed or completely deleted? A cursory forum search came up empty with a link to a „ invalid thread“ . Is still available for reading anywhere? Thanks and kind regards, Snappy

Hi guys, Ok thank you both for the info on the DACT campaign.Looking forward to its release, along with main campaign then :) Snappy

Hi everyone, after a longer pause I took up flying in DCS again and tried to catch up a bit on the Viggen progress. I understand the main campaign is still not out yet, but wondered was Mini NTTR DACT campaign mentioned on the product page released already and if so,where to find it? Thanks and kind regards, Snappy

Fanboy BARCAP already well in progress..as per DCS sop.

Grow up

Decoy, Could You kindly provide an answer to the question which minor fixes we may expect while waiting again for the MLO? Kind regards, Snappy

I know what you wrote about May/June but sorry to say so, given Razbams way of operating in the past I‘m taking that with a huge grain of salt. But the question was serious.You said work on minor fixes continues nontheless. So which bug fixes may we expect while waiting for the MLO? Kind regards, snappy

So, which Mirage bugs can we expect to be fixed in the meantime while we are waiting at least another half year for the MLO?

Hi Flighter, thank you very much for your quick reply.Excellent support! Cool thing that you already implemented the dedicated server. Regarding your question, no the problem was/is that for me the just dogfight server doesn't show up in the server list by default. I have to use "Connect via IP" to access it. However that is most likely an issue on my end or DCS in general. In the DCS 2.5 -> bugs-> multplayer forums there is a topic about rather empty server lists for some users.Seems to have become a bit better with the new dedicated server system. Thank you again, Kind regards, Snappy

Hi Flighter, two quick questions if you don‘t mind. Is the standby/open beta server already running the dedicated server system? Could you kindly confirm that the two IP adresses from the very first post of this thread are still valid for the main and standby server? Somehow I‘m having trouble finding the servers or get an „Server is offline“ message. Thank you very much, Kind regards, Snappy

Totally not surprised here at all.. Very disappointed by the further huge delay of the MLO. Btw would have been nice to get some official information on that here as wellin their DCS forums. Really wish they would concentrate their capacities on fixing their released modules instead of pushing out ever more stuff.. Kind regards, Snappy.

Agree as well, not happy at all with the way things are being handled by Razbam.Will not buy further products until something seriously changes and the Mirage gets its MLO which is long overdue. Also despite the various official statements to the contrary I don‘t buy the -multiple, separate developement teams- argument at all. It seems to me they are already bogged down completely with the modules they released so far , no to speak of the tons of stuff they tout coming down the pipeline.Really cant see them delivering on all of that in a professional complete manner. Contrary to what stated in their videos in regard to „ the Mirage was there first...so it gets updated/overhauled first..“ we now see system work done on the AV-8 and the mirage again, nothing but cosmetic optics.. Sorry if this seems like a ranting , but really am disappointed by Razbam right now . Of course in the end its their business model and they can proceed as they like but I will not be buying in the future unless their released modules get finally fixed. Regards, Snappy

In this case I want propaganda leaflet canisters, as they were available as well in reality.All other DCS development must cease until I get those...
