Its not only in rws, it also could happen in tws if you shoot it at above 15 degree pitch. It would go ballistic even with maintaned radar lock (tws). Its fine with Hornet under the same condition.

What are the keywords for asking ground crew to update the DTC and to remove/install refueling probe on the Jeff? Thanks

This! Given the complexity of the module (our Apache pilot calls it "flying computer ") I would say the EA highly likely will be released next year. Enjoy whatever you have right now and try to forget it for a while.

I was simply respond to the "excellent patch" which I little bit disagree. So not really OT. Carry on...

I wouldnt call it excellent patch tbh. ED broke RWS SAM with the update and AIM-120 goes ballistic (not tracking) if it launched in RWS SAM with hotfix and we should wait only ED know when we can get the fix. Other than that its ok patch.

Hi Frederf, should the SAM mode triggers the lock warning on the target ? AFAIK it shouldnt from my experience in "other F-16 sim that cannot be named".

Its the opposite what I've seen in MP. A player questioned the chaff resistence of the ER which seem was quite good after got killed twice by the ER lol. I also saw many good kills with ER in MP (GS server).

I recall in the days of my playing Janes FA-18 there's a awesome tutorial about APG-73 with gif animations. I learned great deal from this. It was Baskat's APG-73 radar tutorial IIRC. Just tried to google it but it gave me deadlink. I wonder if someone still has it. Very good tutorial if you can find it.

Thats weird. Mine does not limp and it stays still and holds its position after I release the trim button. I do have taped the sensor on my MSFFB2 tho.

I noticed this too. It would only need one SD-10 to bring down the F-14 while with Amraam you would always need 2. TBH I could not care less with this and tend to like it especially against F-14. Little OT sorry, Some F-14 pilots in MP easily could change slot when they took damage to deny a kill. Well .....with SD-10 they would down almost instantly.

It has been decided to give the user that option, for his/her satisfaction while using the DCS AV-8B Night Attack module. This is the way [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I tend to agree with some of these wishes. What is the most important aspect of the sim? Flight model ? Then make it as realistic as it can then other aspect of the jet ED could make a guess based on available doc. No armchair pilots would know. Then as time passes ED can fix it as unclassified accurate data become available. DCS is still a game anyway. My 2 cents.

To be fair Kate did not promise. IIRC She only said the Sniper still planned at that time. I asked her in a post in that thread. Nobody lying.

Already discussed in here

Yeah I agree with Ebabil. For heli go for FFB. Try searching on ebay for MSFFB2 USB version. I dont think it'd cost you much. The downside is lack of buttons. Good luck.

Then how can other smokes does not impact much on FPS like Vikhr does? Russian A2A missiles for example do have smoke and I don't notice any significant impact on FPS. Same as flying high enough and get contrail on behind jet also no noticable impact on FPS. Its clearly there's something wrong with Vikhr. It probably has nothing to do with the smoke.

This is an old bug (if you want to say its a bug). It was reported many times before. I have no idea why ED have not fixed it. I have RTX 3060 Ti and it still drop FPS the moment you launch it.

Hey, you've got my interest here knowing you also fly with the MS FFB2, how is your feeling flying the Hind with it especially at takeoff, slow speed, landing and the hardest, hovering ?Day one was really hard for me, made a long post about my experience flying the hind and quoted it as being unflyable because of how sensitive it was ! To be honest I didnt like it at all first time I flew it. I tried flying it with my warthog and I hated it. But then I swapped to my FFB2 and it was amazing. Yes its sensitive and you just need to be gentle with the stick. I believe its just a matter of time untill you can get used to it. After a while I could do crazy maneuver with it lol. My experience with the Hip helped alot I guess. I don't have problem with take off, landing and hovering. I wish I could make a video of it but unfortunately have no time and skill for it. Keep practice and you'll get there, dont worry. Good luck

My methode is to hold trim and release until stable (exactly like video above). I love Hind flight model. Its a joy to fly and its easy to fly with my MS FFB2. its easier to fly than the Hip IMO.

This was reported couple of weeks before in a thread that is locked. Someone in discord also said beta testers already reported this but ED said its correct as is. IIRC Chizh said old Su-27 radar could detect missiles without problem so he doesnt see why newer hornet radar could not. So its intended and not a bug. My search skill sucks. Couldnt find the thread now. Sorry. IMO it maybe realistic but potentially ruined the gameplay. Knowing this ability in the hornet, I tested in GS server bvr against a Viper and was able shot his missile and easily won the fight without doing any evasive maneuver, just flying straight like nothing ever shot at me.

Yeah...I wish we can fight each other in 104th server like old time. Right now the server mostly empty (in my timezone). I would play on 104th if I could see quite lot of players. I'm not a good pilot on 1 vs 1 and need others to become a bait lol.

For early acces with quite alot of guesses I'd only willing to pay 60 bucks tbh. Generally I'm ok with avionic assumptions. Look at what RB did with M2K. They did quite alot of wrong avionic implementations in M2K which they fixed it with the help of French Air Foce later on. Most average players like me wouldnt know the real thing anyway. So... bring it on.

How about Blue Flag PvP server (highly recommended) You can also try Growling Sidewinder server (PvP) but its suffering high packet loss and lags recently (at least on me). Basically its an airquake server. Fly, shoot and land. No AG mission that I know. Its rarely rotate its mission and its bored me to be honest. BTW fighting AI can be fun. I like flying in hoggit servers in all available modern theater from Caucasus, PG and Syria (80 era). Missions are great, nice people and active SRS. Highly recommended to try.

I just based my oppinion on what I've seen and experience and I've asked many players online about this and they also agree with me. If it works for you then good for you. I also read on this forum that real life F-18 pilots dont use it that much because ofc they need to VID the target based on ROE something AG radar can not provide. If you think you can provide a tutorial (I prefer a video) about how to use hornet AG (map mode) properly to find a tank in the ouskirt of a town for example, please do so. Thanks in advance.

Done.
