Why are some planes getting a launch warning from the HQ-7, and some aren't? Tried in the Harrier, Hornet, Tomcat, and Flanker. Harrier: Launch warning Hornet: Launch warning Tomcat: None Flanker: None With this in mind what type of guidance does the HQ-7 (in DCS) use? What are some strategies to defeat this SAM (besides kinematically)?

I can only speculate but I believe it has something to do with the MiG-21's fixes being put on an undetermined hiatus. I pre-ordered the 21, and here it is years later and it's still broken.. Plus they teased this for months with little to no communication at all to just disappoint a good chunk of the community with this thing? Nah. I'm good.

Absolutely agree. I'd also like to see earlier variants of the Sidewinder (D/E, G/J, and H/J-1 (otherwise known as the N)) and earlier variants of the R-23/24 series if we do in the future see a MiG-23 variant.

To be fair, the ejection sequence was really cool.

I too am having issues with countermeasures in singleplayer. They almost always work on the first mission I play after a reboot, but after that first mission, they refuse to work unless I reboot. Aircraft in flight, all systems working properly, cap uncovered, and holding the button down. :) Please help M3LLC

I'm stressing a possible issue that may prevent myself from enjoying a module from my favorite developers. I'm not petitioning, just would like to be able to enjoy this module as much as possible when it releases. While it is a ways away from release, I don't feel it's sacrilege to simply speak my opinion and desires for a product that I plan to purchase multiple copies of (due to multi-pit play (wife saw it was coming out and demanded to be "Goose")). Apologies to anyone who's offended.

I'm not going to lay $120 on a piece of software that at this point in time shows evidence of being unplayable for me. I don't understand why everyone is so upset over asking for a user option.

I am aware that the refresh rate for the HUD is WIP. This does not need repeated. Nor should it be necessary to repeat "If this option isn't available, LNS doesn't get my money.". I'm not asking them to change it for everyone. I'm asking for a user option to change it. If that is too difficult or strenuous a task for them, then I shall skip this module. I promise you I'm not trying to be difficult lol.

Yeah if there isn't an option for the hud refresh rate to be matched to frame rate out of the box. It's a no-buy. I love the LNS guys (headblur or w/e they are now). I love the MiG-21. Haven't gotten the Viggen but I know the quality is there. I simply cannot have a hobby become a medical issue. These migraines put me out of commission for days. I have a business to run and a family to take care of. I really don't think it's an unreasonable request. If there are concerns for multiplayer make it enforceable server side. :)

There's quite a bit of difference between a gamey setting and giving users an option to reduce issues due to low frame rate. Personally, I get migraines sent straight from hell if I am experiencing anything below 20 FPS for a long duration. I physically cannot watch normal television for long periods at all due to this. The YouTube video demonstrating the HUD was physically painful for me. If this isn't an option. The F-14 will be an instant no-buy for me.

Neat.

I won't get within 1.5nm of any IFV in the game if I can help it, and break off attacks at a maximum of 0.8nm if I absolutely positively have to kill what I'm shooting at. This habit has carried over to tanks and as a result I've gotten pretty decent at splashing armor from ~1nm or so. :D

I would just like to point out that the MiG-21Bis has one of the most if not the most detailed cockpit in DCS. On top of the first radar to incorporate ground and cloud clutter. Those two things alone will cause it to use more resources than other modules. The inverse effect of high quality is less performance. I don't see how it is the developers responsibility if 1/10 of their customers are unhappy with performance while having old hardware. I know I'm not alone when I say the performance we're getting out of DCS is miles and miles better than what the average user would get out of say LOMAC 1.02 or OG DCS: Blackshark in their day. This may play a part of the "fanboys" having less issue with the MiG-21 than you seem to have. Who knows, who cares. You're here to complain about something that you say you're not going to use, so this thread is honestly pointless. In a year when you upgrade maybe you should give the MiG a chance instead of being triggered about the devs not catering to outliers whims.

With your attitude coming in can you really say you expected anything else? You were offered a solution to your problem, and you shot back with an over exaggerated snarky response. Do you seriously expect the developer to stop what they're doing (making mad amounts of money from the Viggen) to rewrite an entire code base for a snooty customer that can't be bothered to move a few sliders from "High" to "Medium"? If you seriously are going to completely discount anything coming from LNS because one of the most complex and detailed simulation aircraft in computer flight simulation history is performing a bit worse than others due to its complexity for you, then I have a feeling this genre isn't for you. I have no problems running the MiG-21Bis at med/high settings getting upwards of 90-120 FPS. But then again I have a decent system.

That was the jam in the day man. But yeah I wonder if LNS can get a license from Cheap Trick for Mighty Wings on the cheap. :lol:
