I guess that's an option for SP people who need a reliable option. Just start a private server and jump in as a sole player, easy enough.

Yes that's right, thanks for reminding me. Was just a thought if Tacview could play ED Trk files as well it would be a good way to narrow down the issues with ED's track files.

I think ED plan a little bit further ahead than that. They planned on pre-purchase early May but didn't quite hit the mark. All good, it happens.

From the report GG posted: "Mujahideen fired MANPADS achieved a 70 percent kill probability against helicopters and aircraft during the Soviet–Afghan war.99" So there you go, to answer the OP, the Hind is about 30% tough

Out of curiosity, can you get a Tacview from a track file? Sorry might be dumb question, been a while since i used Tacview. Getting a Tacview of the actual fight vs a Tacview of the replay would be interesting ?

Tracks have always never been 100% reliable. AFAIK track files basically copy all the flight & environment parameters as well as your inputs and recreates it in DCS World. I can imagine there might be some input errors over time especially if your throwing the stick and throttle around a lot and these are largely the sort of track errors i see. What you describe is something different though, like the AI has made different decisions in the track? weird Edit: Haven't flown F-5 or Mig28 in ages but stall speed will depend on weight and conditions? Approach speed is about 140kts in F-5 and 259KPH in Mig-28

Thought this was interesting. First American to fly a Hind in combat. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/116650/first-american-flies-mi-35-hind-in-combat/ Some cool footage too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnVn9jfCH0g

The gun will certainly be a handful, i'm looking forward to it. Point to note is that on the KA-50 the gun is hung close to the COG of the helo to minimize induced pitching from the recoil. Also being slung from the side of the helo, the recoil induces a yaw. Now the Hinds gun is slung from a more forward position so the recoil affect will be more significant than the KA-50, also to the side so we will have to anticipate both pitch and yaw when firing the gun. Now add that high rate of fire and you will be in for a roller coaster ride.

Look at it this way, would you rather: A: ED take your money first week of May even though they know they have encountered a small set back. or B: ED be responsible and delay the pre-purchase until said set back is resolved. I think B is the better choice, be thankful.

All im saying is.. If ED could model the systems they would. Its not as easy as getting public available material. That can get you in legal shit. ED know what they are doing, if they dont model a system its because they CANT not because they just want to shit stir the community. fm lol

So from your post you want ED to break all Laws and just implement systems just because some dude on the internet has info ???

Seriously are you for real? Do you not think ED have restrictions on what they can model? Do u think just because some guy has info on a system ED will just jump on it ? There are so many factors you have not considered.

I don't think this will affect ED's future development QA so to speak, i really think this is an exception due to the disproportionate information available on western aircraft compared to eastern, more so the laws governing the said development of respective aircraft. Im not saying ED are trying to balance game play but i think this is their compromise to some sort of way of providing a more balanced battlefield. ( ok i have my tomato shield ready ) edit:BS3 is ED's KA-52 module.. as best they can get away with.

In case any one hasn't seen this site, lots of high quality pics of #25. https://www.net-maquettes.com/pictures/kamov-ka-50-hokum-walkaround/

I'm really on the fence with this one. I followed the development of the KA-50 before it was released, when it was.... WOW it changed the world of simulation forever. At the time it was thrilling to run the Shark through it's paces, testing systems, flight performance, auto rotations, all knowing it was a high fidelity simulation of a real aircraft. Too see it morph into a non-existent air-frame is a little disappointing but in light of current times i can honestly understand why ED would persue BS3. In all honesty i think ED, over the years are a little fed up with Russian laws, image how frustrating it must be for a Russian aviation nutbag working at ED coding F-16's, F/A-18, AH-64 etc but never get to work on a high fidelity Su-30 or a KA-52. AFAIK, with BS3 ED plan to deliver the Stock #25 Shark with an updated cockpit/external model as well as the updated version. I pretty happy with that i think its a fair compromise for everyone, as long as mission editors can disable upgraded BS3's from MP servers.

Congratulations! Takes a bit to get used to but it's a game changer!!

MFD's need to be able to be adjusted a touch brighter, at least just to cater for personal preferences. IRL start up with MFD's coming at near end of vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOeXKWRxaMc

Fair call i do apologize for being rude. You have provided more context and i can see where you are coming from. All the best

Good point. I'm pretty sure Jester doesn't say, "Hey, I'm Jester... Bandit 6 o'clock"

I have to admit i find these threads weird. Hi guys how fast can i drive my car but still be safe? The answer is test is out yourself, YOU are the only one with your rig so set up DCS and try it out! ? yeah? From there you have a base to start asking more specific questions.

Its currently the 4th May here.. 28 - 4 = 24 Mi-24! hmm

Firstly Steam has nothing to do with anything. What is important is the version of DCS your running as suggested above. I don't own the NS430 but it appears you have to buy the actual 3D implementation & not just the NS430 module. Here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/ns430_sa342/

OMG!! Thank you!!! I found a setting called picture overscan, turned this off and now have native 1080 without issues. Legend!!

For what its worth to anyone i managed to fix this my end. My situation, i use a Panasonic LCD TV native 1920x1080 but have to run 1824x1026 to get a full screen. (yeah i know) Easy done through nvidia control panel. I set DCS resolution to 1824x1016 and solves all the jagged edges issue.

ED is modeling a variant of the AH-64 that never employed stingers, so um ah i think it's logical that we won't be getting stingers. Not too hard to figure out. Anyone trying to convince themselves otherwise is wasting there time. The F-15C is capable of A2G but the software was removed from US jets. ED follow suit. KA-50 and the Igla, same story. F-16's with 4x HARM and A-10's with 6x Mav's is a different thing, AFAIK these loadouts are possible but just not realistically loaded.
