I can’t provide the source right now, but I think I remember hearing it uncages the Sidewinder seeker Edit: Here you go
-
Alot of this thread brings to mind when people assumed we'd all be more informed with wide-spread access to online information. Oh well.

First ever DCS: F-4E Phantom II Feedback Thread - May 22nd 2024
Cab replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
After just a couple of days flying, I can now say this is now my favorite module. Great job, Heatblur. -
Did you refresh the screen? Those may be out-of-date numbers. I got in yesterday with 58/64.
-
I’m sure you’re correct.
-
Maybe, maybe not. But after the VEAO Hawk debacle, ED has gone out of their way to assure customers that steps had been taken to prevent it from happening in the future. I can't imagine the blowback if that turns out to not be true. Let's hope we don't have to find out. Edit: I never got the impression from ED that there's a commitment to continue development, but rather just to keep it working with new updates.
-
You and me, brother
-
Yes, I read those and chalk them up to bluster. IMO unless it comes from management, it isn't worth considering.
-
ED has said there is a requirement for 3rd party devs to turn over their source code if they stop supporting DCS. If this is true and part of a contract obligation, ED could likely sue if it's not done. Have there been any developments to indicate this isn't true?

As I wrote above, I more often than not get no tone even from directly behind and well within range with the target at the top of the HUD and a radar lock. I don’t know enough to say it’s wrong, but I haven’t seen anything to convince me it’s correct. However, I will try one more time using your diagram above.
-
I fly the Mirage a lot and still struggle to get a tone, even from directly 6 o'clock. Quite frankly, it seems unlikely to me that the real Sidewinder behaved this way, especially the J and P versions. Quite the contrary, most (if not all) historical references I've read told of missiles getting lock and being fired out of the envelope, not a frustration that lock was difficult to achieve in the first place. I am, however, willing to be convinced otherwise if there is some documentation to support the claim above.
-
A bold claim. I guess we'll find out at some point.
-
Mag3 doesn't start earning money on their module until it's released, so I doubt ED would make such a decision even if they could.
-
Fair enough, but I’ll take it as soon as it’s ready and just simulate flying a warbird in modern times. The map and other products can come later.

Point CTRL is a game changer for this. (If you can get one) Edit: If you’re flying in VR

F-4E Phantom II Development Update and Release Delay Announcement
Cab replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
In order to keep this constructive, we'll just have to agree to disagree on the interpretation of the published facts. In the meantime, like I posted above, pre-purchase is obviously not for everyone. -

To be fair, they were clear about using March 31st as the end of winter, rather than March 21. Inaccurate, but a small difference in the overall picture. -
F-4E Phantom II Development Update and Release Delay Announcement
Cab replied to IronMike's topic in DCS: F-4E Phantom
Pre-purchase has proven to not be for everyone. If delays are going to cause any amount of stress , the answer is to just wait until the day prior to release. Same price, no stress. -
Steady, lad. If you want to wait until more details are provided before you pre-purchase, that is entirely understandable. And you have right up until EA release to make that decision. Plenty of time really. But many of us are perfectly comfortable pre-purchasing right now, and that's okay, too. There's really nothing here to see or be concerned about until the EA release day comes. As for the Flaming Cliffs update with three new aircraft, so what? They seem to be repurposing work that had been done in preparation for MAC. I won't buy it because I have their FF counterparts, but then I suspect I'm not the target customer.

They’ve already said you can request a refund.
