I will try that thanks! Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Yes, i know some servers have that option, unfortunetaly not the ones i play almost exclusively on, like DDCS. In those servers (is common practice not sure why) that omce you put an AI Jtac on the field you start receiving those messages i'm talking about but you cant ever check in with the jtac via radio manu like in SP. Which is also very incovenient. I domt know the reason, i guess it has to do with server performance because in the servers i play there is heavy scripting to make the war almost dynamic. But for sure it would be awesome to have a more refined experience with reachable jtac and coordinates controlled at least from the radio menu. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Hello guys and girls, So I was wondering? Why on almost every MP server, when there is a JTAC around you get a message with laser code and coordinates that only last a few seconds, you cant call it back through the radio menu and to make things worst, it gives you the coordinates in Decimal degress and MGRS? Almost any plane in DCS needs coordinates in other formats or does not admit MGRS yet (except for the A10). But what gives me headaches is that you can never check it on the radio menu? Wouldn't be cool if you could access that data with the radio menu, and even better, that it could be displayed in more usable formats? Its not like i dont know how to use a converter, its just that fliying in VR is such an enormous pain in the ass to alt tab out of the game to do the conversion and get back into the game to use the coordinates... Maybe i'm missing some obvious workaround, i dont know...

Given the progress news and if there is no shift in priorities, I would say we probably are at least 12-14 months away from a very EARLY ACCESS FEATURE INCOMPLETE release. And after that 4 years away from an out of EA product (which we know iit does not have to be a feature complete plane). BTW that was not a critic, its was a description of normal product lifecycle in this DCS world.

Now you lost me, the 120c is inferior to what? Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Well that is a different game, compare to kinematics of the airframes the OP is discussing right? Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Sorry but that is not totally true, in fact lemoine explain in an article that the f16 is his way to go for bvr, and even describe the f16 as a "rocket ship". Then how much difference this means is a totally different beast. I think we could stop the argument when someone with public documentation or a RL pilot could say some words regarding if that M1.01 limit with pylons is about right or way off.

Compared to what? I mean, hornets are known to be very lacking in acceleration and its top speed limit because of the inlet design is M1.8. Obviusly i want a realistic representation, if that means M1.01 with pylon or M1.4 whatever, that should be it. But remember ED have many real hornet drivers giving advice and testing the FM.

This is so true... and so hard to learn... Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Sublime, are you familiar with cranking, f-pole, a-pole, etc...? I've been killed by sd10 too many tines too know that inside 20nn, its a monster, more if you are at 30k. I usually play at blueflag, 104th, ddcs server, so its against good players, that is true. If you want to get 25mn/30 mn shots i recommend the following rules of thumb 1-Use tws and keep the lock as much a you can 2-be over mach 1 3-loft the shot 4-crank, turn towards the target to loft a shot and crank again, better if you go descending cause you will get a amraam in the air probably 5-dont go in straight line at 30/40k for 40 mn cause you are screaming: i want to shoot you down, the most effective shots are those where your enemy thinks you are attacking another plane or going elsewhere, just to receive an rwr warning with 4 sec defensive time. 6- if you bandit is very high(more than 30k), you can shot way over the rmax and still get him, i've witnessed 40mn kills just because the range seemed so big that the bandit did not expect a shot and once the warning is on, you are too high too defend effectively.

I doubt ED does what it does based on wanting casual player to be happy. I just see lack of time and resources for a more complex simulation of certain systems, period.

I didnot know they simulated that in the m2000C and mig21, but i like how it sounds. I would love to have that in other aircrafts as well.

The only thing to fix here as I see are planes on the ground that has not been "cold started" yet. So everything is turned off, hence no heat signature difference from the ground. Bear in mind that this not applies to an aircraft you have just turned off, since your engines and other system will take significant time to get completely cold.

Yes, I kind of agree with nickos86 here. I will say more, i hope they delay the EW modelling on those planes until they can implement something a bit more sophisticated that what we have now in other planes, in which the jammer basically does not add anything in the A2A arena, it will just reduce engagement range againts SAMs. I was under the impression that they were hiring sommeone for EW modelling. I hope that is still true.

I would say that is a bug not fixed. TWS still is "partially" bugged. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Yes, its the way that is supposed to be. But a big disclaimer, I wouldn't bet any money that this ED simulating diferences between updates rates (STT > TWS 80 deg > TWS 20 2 bar), but instead it could be just a bug caused by recent changes. Last week TWS was not even updating the amraam and in the intent to fix it maybe there are still things wrong in the code. We will see.

Take into account also that most MP servers I play at, deduct points in case of Team Kills. So you can have 10 ground units killed and have negative points cause you commited fraticide.

I'm not sure, the improvement in guidance at least on my side means that the missile loose very little energy now doing +9g stupid corrections. Above angels 20, 20Mn are a high PK or at least its my experience. Also notching and chaffings effectiveness is reduced wich helps in MP. Although this past week i haven't played as much as i would love, so its maybe a placebo effect.

Yes, totally true. People, myself included think of the OB as "THE GAME" instead of the test environment. And everybody in MP are on this version so its your only choice if you are a MP guy. This patch was bad, maybe something went wrong, but people should remember that this was an Open Beta patch.

And you have worked in IT systems? -_o You think a game like DCS in its "OPEN BETA" branch should have High Availibility to avoid breaking working stuff? Becayse to me that is the very reason you have an OB branch, to fix that before going STABLE... Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

What about those manners kiddo?! :( Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

What? O_o. I mean upload a track and fill a bug report, for me its hitting nicely. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Its possible, i dont know. In any case, except for any game breaking bug, we should wait for a complete update of russian missile in the same manner of the amraam. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Good point. The JF17 is a great module but definetely the radar seems quite optimistic in those aspects. Also in detection range btw given the jf17 small nose and size in general. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Yep, please give us that option once and for all. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk
