On that we agree, but seems not like a quick return of investment. I think simulating the F35 would require many many more man hours than an F15. F15 doable in 2026... I think yes F35 doable in 2026...more like 2027/8

Why?

I really expect a 2026 on this one. They have a good FM and the F15C is easier in complexity when compared to something like the 16/18. No ground radar, no FLIR, very few MPCD pages... The F15C is quite analogic when compared to other USAF multirole fighters. The Radar and link16 should take them a while though, although I expect experience on the viper/Hornet will make development faster.

Are we specifically talking about the SU27 now right? If yes, we now know a lot more about the real capabilities of the basic SU27 compared to the F15 of the 80s, the conclusion that can be drawn from that are: -US had a big upper hand in SA given by much better radar; it's not a raw power or range advantage but a usability, resistance to EW and overall radar azimuth, F15 is a true search radar, whereas the flanker and fulcrum are much more reliant in GCI -Better RWR giving incredibly more SA -Arguably better missiles (AIM7 M vs basic R27 comparison).

Flaps needs to be in OFF position, have you checked this? Enviado desde mi RMX5011 mediante Tapatalk

Now with this FF implementation is more important than ever to play the way it's meant to be used, in servers were they simulate GCI support and radar in an 80s/SARH only context Enviado desde mi RMX5011 mediante Tapatalk

Let's say it's not an air superiority fighter by USAF standards. Enviado desde mi RMX5011 mediante Tapatalk

Yes, that's another topic to be discussed, as far as I'm know, neither the SA10 or the Patriot should give the current launch warning (SARH like warning), they are more like a TWS guidance that should be in the middle RWR ring and you should just defend pre-emptively when in the launch zone. Plenty of RL reports where the Patriot has destroyed friendly fighters with them not even knowing they had been engaged. We even have a report from Ukraine of a Su35/34 defending a patriot where the launch is called out by the EWR or the AWACS but not the RWR from the Russian jet.

This is consistent with the SA19 Tunguska behavior, you should just defend as soon as you see a "19" or "22" on your RWR and assume a launch, those things are pesky. Enviado desde mi RMX5011 mediante Tapatalk

Is it correctly working along the TWS auto mode? So good bye to having to go AUTo>MAN>AUTO again to L&S target outside current AUTO rdr coverage? I'm away on vacation and we'll be unable to test for at least 1 week :( Enviado desde mi RMX5011 mediante Tapatalk

That is what I thought until recently I played again the DC of this other simulator, I have to say I was impressed: -generated packages makes total sense, with ToT, OCA, sead support and even stand off jamming if required -Briefing page gives you all you need:iff codes, l16 codes, friendly armor pushes in the area, AWACS and tanker support... -those comms... I just love the realistic AWACS calls, and ATC comms talking not just to you but to all existing AI in the battlefield. -the AI gives you a really hard time, they will bait you into Sam traps or just into other enemies, -battlefield or main DC page gives you an overview of the battlefield including the amazing info coming from jstars assets which is really great Idk, it is great, having said that I am really looking forward to what DCS can create specially over a long period of time through multiple iterations. I will be supporting them for sure along the way. Enviado desde mi RMX5011 mediante Tapatalk

I dont know, i happen to like my blurry HMD symbology more than the previous dim iteration, it was so hard to see during daytime, now i can totally see it.

After setting a Ground attack mission with several ground targets and some air defenses and deciding i would run the same mission on a different map, after loading the new map i realize all my ground targets are gone and have been replaced by different units. Replicated in a BVR mission, after changing map the enemy fighters went from JF17 to SU27, i had to select again JF17 and loadout setup before.

JF17 ground mission with 8 units in Cold War Germany, stuck at 0% and game crash.

Thanks for the video it clearly showcase the problem starting at 4:05. This is specially problematic when you use the HACQ mode as once the contact is locked (designated as the L&S) the AIM9x seeker logic start to make funky things. Its been more than once that in the seek of the battle you waste a AIM9x as you dont get the tone and the reason is this strange bug where the seeker is actually seeing the target randomly after some seconds or not at all, once you use the cage/uncage button is moving between states in such a manner is a bit unpredictable
