I wish i could see that more often, unfortunately i'm yet to see popular servers with 80s equipment (only sparrows and R27R). I do think it would be nice for at least 1 or 2 missions but its ok like it is. Just wondering, is it possible for the host and mission creator to dissable modern options from some modules? Basically i'm thinking in dissabling MIDS/link 16/jhmcs from F18/F16, so they operate like a 80s version ? Of course i know that is an option for weapons but no idea regarding modern functionality...

Amazing work!

Nadie usa en dcs el sistema de comunicacion por voz del juego. La mayoria de servidores usan o bien discord (prograna por voz gratuito tipo teamspeak) o bien SRS (simple radio system) que es mas rralista y tmb gratuito. Mandame un mensaje privado y si quieres mañana un rato te cuento un poco todo lo que sepa, sobre dcs y sobre multijugador en general. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Some people here are ridicoulus, stupid or both, in addition to totally unable to discern really uncivic behaviors with this. Some of us request an action which in itself and if anything at all, just helps people to stay at home, hurts no one, and even helps ED to earn some money needed in a halt to the world economy situation and they criticize in the name of a purposedly poorly chosen title trying to get some laugh out of a quarantine, just to call it disgusting (#facelpalm). So just to know it, what is exactly wrong with the request apart from the title? Are sales not allowed in difficult times? How is selling a videogame taking advantage of a pandemic? Some people here are making it look like i'm suggesting to store medicines and food to re sell it at twice the price. We are talking of a VIDEOGAME here, just in case anyone forgets. Even if somehow they decided to call it coronavirus sales (which obviusly they would not), whats wrong about that? Can you name just one thing in which they aren't actually helping get somebody distracted in a quarantine? They are actually doing a great thing by re-scheduling a sale. I've been 3 days recluded at home and i still have at least 12 more ahead if not more... Dont you dare evil ED and evil people to suggest a sale that lets me gets a bit more distracted... oh my gosh... Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

What if we are attacked by aliens? Will they stick to geneva? [emoji14] Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Not currently... at least not consistently. There was a report that amraam lofted when launched to the North IIRC and not on other directions, so Its WIP.

Oh lord XD, ok i laughed hard at this. And regarding the title of the thread, its intentional, sorry but i'm a bit of a black humour type of guy, not tailored for really mature minds :p.

I'm being pragmatic, with or without sale, with or without free weekend, you are not doing any good or bad to the current situation, there is no correlation any where to be found. But given that people will be more prone to stay at home these days, you might have a win win situation, ED get some more sales they wouldn't get these days and we get a bit more fun, that cannot hurt anyone. You could buy at normal price of course, but a sale is for sure a good driver to pick a module you were considering at some point. I hope i have not hurt any sensibilities, not my intention for sure. I just read this morning about some game publishers starting this kind of initiative.

I'm not kidding actually... given that the south of europe is very close to total quarantine and all around the world the recommendation is to stay at home as much as possible, and that other game producers are already starting with this idea, I thought of bringing it up here. In my case if there is a sale I will get at least the 3 new warbirds (bf109, spitfier and dora)...

I'm expert enough to know that ALL missiles get their range reduced to something like 10%-30% from its maximum possible range when shot at low altitude, where the drag is hugeeeeeee. I will give you an example, that is very enlighting. NASAMS, which is a norwegian air defense system that uses the Aim120C missiles, advertise its range as 40Km maximum and against a high fliying non maneouvering target. So you get the same missile that goes from >100km to just 40km if launched from low altitude against a high flying target, this distance would be reduced if the target is fliying low. A missile at low altitude is almost like a bullet in water(ok im exagerating a bit). That why for long range shots lofting is used, so that even if your missile flies more distance, it will keep its energy at high altitude where there is very little drag.

Its just WIP and probably not intented to be there. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Dcs numbers and ranges are very close to the real thing. In fact you can already achieve a 56mn kill... you just need to have a non maneouvering stupid target, which happens to be the range you see in wikipedia (something lile 50.000 ft altitude going mach 1.5 against a non moving target coming at you at 40.000ft and M0.9). At those altitude the missiles are amazing. Try that and you will see you get a 40 plus nm kill easily. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

That would make no sense, not just from a security or common sense standpoint but also from a logistic perspective, too many advances in microcircuits, digital signal procesors and other components in the last 40 years, such that using the old components could be pricier and harder than introducing new digital, programmable technology. So even if the missile is the very same regarding aerodynamics or engine, it will probably be much "smarter": loft profiles, better eccm techniques, better navigation logic.... All this is of course speculation on my side, but on the other hand we know all armies ard always improving their weapons, so thinking that the r27er is the same one it was built in the 80s/90s is just not an option in my mind.

Its free this weekend. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

I would love there is less secrecy on russian weapons, i'm sure there are many "lots" (following american/european terminology) with lots of improvements in the r27er family that we are not even aware of. Even more being in active service as it is. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Sorry if my posts sounded emotional, was not my intention, i'm sure many people still struggles with the radar, but i'm convinced that the underlying problem is not properly undertanding radars in general, not just the hornet one. Because as some posters including myself the stupid aacq bug can be perfectly sorted out. Other than that you should not experience any serious drawback that should make you avoid the hornet, totally the opposite. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Read again, that is not my statement. As i say it never lets me down. I feel confident in the a2a role. In fact it happens that in MP i almost never use the radar for close encounters, the aim9x/jhmcs is just too good and dont require radar lock but that is a different topic, I still dont see where you have a problem when you use HACQ/LHAQ. So again, if you say you had to leave the hornet parked because of the radar and how buggy it is, let that me and the hundreds of fellow hornets pilots flying in every mp server send you a big smile.

So let me clarify because you are bringing several issues: 1-BVR radar modes works like a charm for me and never let me down, i can detect everything at incredible ranges, unless the enemy is in a perfect beam, other than that is amazing, even more now with TWS capability which works even better than in the viper (less time to build tracks) 2-Close combar modes like vertical, boresignt and gun work really well... if you have visual on the bandit. It is true that sometimes to pick up far away targets specially when you dont see what you want to lock, and mess around fliying with it on. A very easy workaround is to turn them on when they are close to you and you have tally, or even better use it with the JHMCS which works great. 3-Aacq has this annoying bug of picking targets further away than the closest bandit, even so, you can avoid this a lot when you reduce your azimuth scan to 20 degress and use MIDS simbols to face only the target you want.

You dont know how to use it, sorry to be harsh. I have hundreds of our in SP and MP and thd f18 radar is a beast, never let me down. Your inability to use is most probably due to a bad understanding of antena elevation management and how the radar cone works. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

To be fair, the developer, in this case ED has always acknowledged limitations in the engine/simulation that have produced some "missbehaviors", like drag curves that did not adapt well to different altitudes, guidance logic issues or even limited PN and lofting algortihms... They are trying to iterate on that. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Thanks! Your data shows data the difference is marginal, even non existance on some regimes. I guess the biggest improvements that could emerge from the new lofting logic are not well reflected here (these are no lofting shots right?) Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Hey nighthawk, it'd be cool a comparison with the latest 2.5.6, it seems Aim120c has improved range significantly. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

I will try that, though im the video (long range 25nm 16k shot) the missile loft by itself, no pitch induced. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

That is strange, I cannot get it to loft as in the video. Are you guys seeing the same? It could be an WIP feature in 2.5.6 that have been corrected in the latest patch? Or is it just me?
