Seems all missiles are sort of messed up since the latest amraam tweaks. Spaghetti code strikes once again.

I second that, that was the first thing I noticed as well at moderate landing weights. The usual pitch and power values from the flight manuals can't really be applied currently.

Interesting, but do you have any proof of such upgrades? Specifically to the 27 fam. and the 73. because I do know some people, you know. I am not saying the kinematics and aerodynamics of our current R-27 fam. in DCS are correct, they obviously lack a proper CFD treatment but for that matter, you shouldnt even be able to fire an ET if there are any clouds or the target has active or passive countermeasures.

Well, Cobra said it will be an option in the "pecial options menu" at some point, just hasnt been mentioned sine then as for the timeframe. I'd imagine it being something that can be done with the in-cockpit pilot/RIO models.

HA! I remember flying the A2A P-51D in FSX, coming in way hot and dropping my flaps beyond Vfe, they jammed asymmetrically, induced a roll and even full lateral stick didnt do anything. :lol: Fun times.

you can also pull up the AVIA page and repeat it on the HSD.

Absolutely. The absolute lack of beta testing which is quite evident by the latest OB update only makes it worse...

Speaking of, will the optional HGU-55 helmet ship with the A?

Of course it is going to be worse, it's an old Fox-1. That's not the point though, improved aerodynamics and PN guidence will give it more range and energy conservation, generally increasing the E-pole and F-pole and closing the gap a little bit more when needed. Doesn't mean it's going to match the Amraam but since this is a flight simulator you'd think every missile should get the same treatment and abide to the same aerodynamic laws. ;)

There haven't been any notable upgrades to the R-27 family since the 90's. Period. There have been various concepts and active seeker proposals by Russia and Ukraine (Arten & Radionix) but those were never adapted. Lack of funds, sanctions and the fall of the soviet union were the main contributers. Ask yourself this - why would the russian DOD invest the already limited funds into an old fox-1 platform going forward? They are currently investing in further improving the R-77, namely the planned K-77M with convetional fins, better seeker and extended range. It's as if the US and its allies didn't go through the same process with the Sparrow in the past - any further upgrades for the Sparrow would have been complete nonsense. Regarding this topic - the 27 family does indeed need the same or similar treatment the 120 fam. has received in terms of aerodynamics and guidence algorithms. It's still one of the most used missiles in multiplayer to this day. Realistically, every major missile we have in DCS needs this treatment.

*BUMP* would such a cycling option be possible?

Vfe is 225KIAS.....

+1 needs a fix asap

Too bad they clip through the wings.

ED needs to remove this goddamn HDR + bloom filter or at least make it toggelable option. Period. It looks terrible, affects performance and nobody seems to like it or think it looks even remotely realistic. The way 2.5.5 looked was the best in my opinion and 2.5.6 has been a huge downgrade in all visual aspects. Please revert.

Obviously we need a realistic aerodynamics model for the SD-10 and all other main missiles in DCS. I hope this can be the case sooner than later. Especially the Phoenix needs some much needed work, which solely relies on ED.

Yeah but while you CAN do that the AWG-9 was neither deisgned to do that nor was it ever used in that manner (terrain avoidence or any form of targeting).

No.

First and foremost the guidence logic and active commands. Loft and PN guidence also need some improvements.

Mine seenms fine as of the last update (no driver changes).

I'm sure this has been reported somewhere already (couldn't find the thread) btu the Mig still trails black smoke when in Afterburner. Hope this gets fixed.

For A2G the 05 is a fairly viable option, for A2A, given the lack of a functioning proxy fuse and blast radius it's pretty much useless.

This was more directed towards ED and not HB. I know HB can't do anything about this and need clear answers from ED as to when these changes to alpha textures and lighting will be considered "final".

Same here, tried it on a Tomcat from rear aspect, even though I got fairly close to it, it just flew right past, so I don't know if the fuze is even working correctly. Seems still like a pretty useless missile.

The dust has been settling for like 5 months now.
