[ΑΙΜ120 - Always miss targets near ground]

I notice that the aircraft in the video are all F-16s which is an incredibly small aircraft. Even a MiG-29 is bigger.  I wonder if that has something to do with what you’re seeing, especially in the presence of countermeasures. It’d be interesting to test against other aircraft with and without countermeasures.

I think that F16 ,is not that small from 10nm

Here is the Track.
Its the 3rd of the 3 merges.

Thanks.

[ΑΙΜ120 - Always miss targets near ground]

Will do as soon as possible.

But this is a serious issue when in competitive play.
This is an exploit in multiplayer.

 

Thanks.

Track files please, or some sort of evidence.

Is the above OK?

[ΑΙΜ120 - Always miss targets near ground]

 

Please do not take account kinetically beaten shots
Most AIM120s were shot under 10nms 

There were 8 failed shots
 

Check how easy are beaten when near ground - i mean ,is this normal?

Will do ASAP (Work from office ATM)

 

[ΑΙΜ120 - Always miss targets near ground]

Hi all, after extended testing, we found out that AIM120 dont hit a thing that is near ground ( >200ft) , - while the target is not in perfect notch.

The AMRAAM never hits the target ,but always near it ,on the ground.

We tried that from 20-15-10-5 miles.

We tried to TWS and STT (nothing changed)

The shooter was always above the target 10k - 5k - 3k feet, and the target was trying to notch. (not always perfect notch)

The miss was 100% - all 6 amraams hit the ground. 

The ground was FLAT.

something is going on here - It looks like ground clutter affects significant the AIM120c. (Have not tried other missiles)

Thanks.

Seen the P51 and the dora?

Yes, but i have also seen the new Spitfire, the Mosquito, and the P47.

Hey all!

BF109 - The most famous DCS axis fighter.
Does it need some more love? Textures seem out of date, in comparison to other WW2 models

It seems like the oldest one.

Thanks.

I have tried that in the past in one or two missions, and never worked...  (We both own the campaign)

There are no paid multiplayer campaigns, all of them are for single player only. 

Thats what im saying!

Why there isn't , at least for dual seated modules?

[Multiplayer (Dual seater) in Paid Campaigns]

up!

[Multiplayer (Dual seater) in Paid Campaigns]

Hey all, 

It is very sad that, me and my friends cannot play together as Pilot and WSO (or RIO) in dual seated modules - paid campaigns like the ones with the F14 - AH64 - Mi24 - Mosquito. Also F4E+F15E campaigns are coming.

How come and this is not implemented? If we both have bought the campaign, then what is the problem playing it together?
That would significantly raise the sales of multiplayer campaigns and dual seater modules too. 

Thanks

You say Phoenix is too good for CW servers? That means it works, right? Blame USN for developing Long Range Missiles for their fleet defenders.

Your missile works vs AI but not vs players? You can't blame them for learning how to defend either kinematically or by well placed notching. Are you sure your shooting parameters are fine and take advantage of the missile specifics? Does AMRAAM have 100% pk for you?

Instead of general "it's bad", please, send us some track or acmi, we'll check and tell you why your missile didn't connect. Then we'll have far more constructive discussions.

 

I didnt say the missile is not working. it is just kinematical very slow. (even in low altitudes the missile cant pass 1.5Mach. (oh i know its not designed for these altitudes)

I also didnt say that players cant be hit from an AIM54 because they defend well (Skill) , but because the missile cant kill if it has 1.5Mach in terminal phase (8-9miles).

The missile is very bad, and cant kill. - i will sent you Tacview @ afternoon to check and tell (With shots from 40k & shots from 20k).

[Mach 5 AIM-54C]

Hey Karon, Thanks for the reply.

AIM54 is slow and bad, and F14 has no place in DCS PvP - (Either Cold War because is too good - or in modern is too bad).

The only place that F14 is OK is in PVE when AI goes almost strait to the missile.

 

i'm not an expert so I cant say if AIM54 Data is accurate or not , thats why iam asking here :)))

i understand that its speed depends on many things like Altitude - aricraft speed e.t.c - all im asking is if AIM 54 is accurate and if will it change dramaticaly in DCS.

Thanks.

[Mach 5 AIM-54C]

So is the AIM54C missile OK or not?

Will it Change?

All Data i see from Google says it goes Mach 5 , but it cannot get more than ~ Mach 3.5+

It seems it only happens on "takeoff from ground" slots. Can you confirm?

 

It happens in F18 everytime - either hot in the air.

It looks like it could be related to a custom script.

please sanitise scripts in the missions and retry.

thank you

We already tried to remove all scripts in the mission one by one as to isolate the problem, and the result is the same.

[FA-18 Start up crash]

Maybe yes, 

Can you please help us with this with the exact error ,so as to get it fixed?

This is a campaign mission of a whole community with weeks planning.

 

Thanks is advance.

[FA-18 Start up crash]

Just to clarify the above, 

This mission works fine if you just load the 2.8 version of the mission.

The mission gets broke, if you open it in 2.9's mission editor and save it (to update the mission to 2.9 as well.

Thnx

2. That´s how all DCS modules are modeled. You will have to either drop your externals before rearming them again or you let them get removed and later back attached. This works on the F15E as well as on all other modules so far. When you refuel your jet, the external tanks usually get small ammounts of fuel, but this only until the internals are completely filled (Actually that´s how any DCS module does it). I guess the conformals won´t count here, i can´t see any fuel directed to external tanks while they are receiving.

I drop the Tanks, and while i slot new ones, they act like "Empty Tanks" so it refuels them from 0 to 11900 lbs. With that said, in addition with the low fuel flow problem, it takes very long time to rearm and refuel after a sortie.

[F15E refuel rate.]

Hi all,

1. Refuel is slower thar other aircrafts in rearm (2308 lbs/min) in comparison all  other aricrafts (~2670lbs/min)

2. External wing fuel tanks are empty when fresh rearming (even if you choose not empty tank)

3. Airframe drag is higher that it is supposed to be.

Thanks!

Its an interceptor, not a dogfighter… use it on BVR, not at close range.

Hey Rudel,

Thanks for your answer , i have managed to find my way to work things out to counter these above that i write with varius tactics - but that's not the case of this topic.

Thanks!

[Mirage F1 - Dogfight]

Heya all,

I got hooked with  the Mirage F1 lately, and I tried to do some stuff here and there.

I understand that this is still early access and I found this module to be actually very nice and engaging (Both models)

But - 

Is this flight model some kind of accurate right now? or is it planned to change significantly in the future.

I am feeling it veeery heavy(Even naked with half fuel) - and i don't thing it can dogfight at it should be , it is very dead at low speed, and it should not be that much.

What you think?
