^^Hey! Go troll somewhere else! :D

Well, english is not my native language (never actually been to the US or any other english speaking country) yet, I could understand what he was trying to say. I don't think his post falls into a "no idea of content" type of posts and while not grammatically perfect, it can be understood by most people. At least by those not living in US who learned english by playing video games and watching movies.

^^Well, I guess that makes you a .. ..lone killer. :D

Well, the video proves it once and for all: Eagle is easier to refuel!

If the price is right and there's a MiG-29 or/and Su-27 dedicated DCS simulator around the corner then, yeah, why not?

^^Is the target moving while being launched at from 30km? If yes, you'd hardly need chaff, the missile (ER) will miss it anyway.

^^Hey I also noticed that. Not exactly reached the target before my R27 but I was very close when I saw the missile hitting it. I don't remember this happening in FC2, perhaps new advanced missile model has something to do with it. :)

^^ :D

All right! Su33 and MiG29 to go... :D

What makes you think we'll get the new pits in 1.2.4? Would be great but..I don't think so..

^^And what does that have to do with them not bothering to inform the community here of their DCS projects? Why the frack would I care for their FSX plans? This is ED/DCS forum and they could have at least said "Ok. guys we've changed our priorities, for now we won't be able to make any progress, but will let you know if and when anything changes in that regards.". How hard is it, really?

The only thing that bothers me is that they (IRIS) didn't care to inform the community here of their (lack of) progress or at least notify of delayed development. This way it seems they just left without bothering to let the folks know..pretty amateurish if you ask me..

What??? Blasphemy! :D

Guys, have you tried Quick Mission Builder and pitting a pack of AH64s against a single (player controlled) MiG-29A? The apaches know exactly where you are all the time (radar on or off doesn't matter) and use their Hellfires like real pros. The R27R has like 50% hit rate at ranges LESS then 10km..I won't even mention the R73s which will sometime give you LA (Launch Authorization) and sometimes won't even if 2km away from the target..(head on OR rear aspect!). All in all..I find it quite challenging/fun to fight AH64s with my 29A and if you feel bored, you should give it a try too! :D

This happens to me as well but only IF during gameplay, I minimize the game window and have running active apps in the background (like browser, file manager etc.)

Groove? Who's that? Kinda sounds familiar.. :D All the best! :)

Oh man, I wasn't aware of that bug..and I was always doing it by the book (following the suggested landing speed) and was wondering why I touchdown harder then expected.. Thanks for the info! :)

Yeah but..what was his point of reference when landing like that?

BTW, check this video of RL 29 landing, looks like the pilot is not using the ILS circles, at least they're not visible in the HUD: Is he perhaps relying on the analog instruments? If yes, why? Wouldn't be easier to use the HUD instead (just thinking out loud)?

I find it quite difficult to do a soft landing in MiG29. I follow the ILS, both circles aligned and keep them in the middle till the very end, do the flare..but whatever I try, it always touches down harder then I would prefer. It seems the decent rate is too high BUT as I said, I'm following the suggested speed, angle, ILS..all the stuff.and still, it tends to hit the runway harder then anticipated. Flaring in F15 (before the 1.2.3 bug that is) and Su is easy. In Flanker, right before the touchdown, I raise the nose up to 8 degress and do the soft landing..but in Mig, whatever I do, it just lands too hard..Anyone having a similar problem? Any suggestions?

If it's made by the folks who gave us BS and A10, it'll be better then BMS. :) I love BMS, it's a great sim but IMO, DCS is the future.

^^Wow, not bad for a '95 era sim! :)

^^I'm currently downloading it.

Guys, this whole thing may be my fault. I was bi**ing so much about the landing physics, it's quite possible Wags told the guys to spice it up a little..If that's the case, sorry!

You were right. Tried to land on Anapa, 30% fuel, AA payload and the landings are definetelly porked. When I tried to flare, instead of steadily dropping altitude and touching down, the plane just continued flying in the straight line and I ended up damaging my engine..I thought I screwed something up so I gave it another try..and on the second try, the plane just sank into the runway, presumably the landing gear collapsing as well.. I didn't have this issue with the Flanker when i was making the video above (1.2.3 version) and I thought all FC2 SFM planes share the same landing physics/parameters?
