Does anybody know where to get the VF-33 1991 skin pack? Seems like the linked google folder is empty https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3322758/

Dry, no blower.

Eine noch richtigerere A? Du meinst ohne TCS-Doppelkinn und ohne die Tankstummel? Wo muss ich unterschreiben? Letzteres wird leider nicht kommen - zumindest auf das Weglassen des TCS hoffe ich noch...

I just did the single mission in the 14A and stuck to purely buster. Was a piece of cake to just park there in neutral/ offensive and watch the Flanker waste all his gas. Had more than 7000lbs of gas left when he went for his paratrooper-upgrade. Sometimes, not going around the corner and putting the thing on the thing is the easier way round... Coming back to the cat after flying the F1 vs the Fishbed for several weeks seems like candy from a duck to water. Or something. It's time the AI get their GFM.

Please don't.

That's the pull required toget from 9g (elastic stop) to 11g IIRC. Kind of similar to hitting the paddle on the Hornet.

Chers gang, seems like the four Sidewinder layout was made available in the mid 80s, when Greece decided it wanted more missiles on their F1s. Looks like the aircraft was initially delivered without any R530 or Super 530 capability whatsoever and the radar even lacked some illuminator features which would have had to be reintroduced when Greece sought to upgrade their F1s to Sparrow-capability during an earlier projected programme, which faltered. How did the outboard wing Sidewinders get integrated? Seems to me - at least from this pit builder's site - the stores-select buttons were arranged in the same way as in the other F1Cs: https://www.modellingnews.gr/el/editorial/ενα-mirage-f1cg-ξαναζεί-μετά-από-15-χρόνια Hence, I guess the lefternmost were for the tips and the second lerfternmost were for the wing-Sidewinderst, instead of the 530s. How would those Sidewinders be priorized by the weapon computer? Was it left-first/ seeker locked first, as it is with the CE, or was there any other type of priorization? Could all Sidewinders be selected at the same time and would there be any priorization between wing-stations and tips? Also, could the Sidewinders also all be brought forward with the missile override switch (C+M or whatever it's called)? Now, why am I asking all this. Quite simple: I'm really liking the idea of having four Sidewinders. I think this option could be quite feasible and it might be rather simple to implement (while appeasing the purists): - either have a checkmark in the mission builder that enables four winders at the cost of (Super) 530 capability - or have the outboard wing winders and 530s be exclusionary loadouts, like the centerline and wing 530s already are I think it's a relatively simple modification, enabling more scenarios while not costing too much credibility in the realism-department. Bonus question: What kind of bomb-racks are those on the inboard wing and do they come with fuel als their voluminosity might suggest? https://www.airliners.net/photo/Greece-Air-Force/Dassault-Mirage-F1CG/1494821/L

All of those planes got nothing on the Jag: - will only lift off due to Earth's curvature - and that's with the POWERFUL 104 and 106 motors - NAVWASS has enough RAM to either guide you OR work on a weapon-solution (if it didn't already tumble during takeoff-roll) - may or may not have heaters on top of the wing - will depart and swap ends easily with a central fuselage store - needs partial-throttle reheat to not fall back from the tanker - and that's when doing a tobbogan - or chose the french version with two Adour 102 afterburning hairdriers, no INS (but a doppler) but light enough to gun your a$$ during DACT

You're missing the premise. Since going from max loiter or max range cruise to a max velocity at launch in the shortest possible time is key, acceleration beats top speed. The 1960s just called and they want their tactics back.

TBH, I'd like to have both. I also was under the impression the S530F was going to follow some time into early access, so I think we'll just have to be patient.

Flaps on Landing. There's no difference between Autoslat, Combat Flap and manual Flaps in terms of LE devices in game. Whereas IRL: Autoslat. Combat Flaps or manual Flaps. So in conclusion: 1) LE device travel is not enough in game (seems about half of the IRL travel) 2) LE device schedules aren't accurate: Max travel for the inboard LE-droops is 25° - no matter if flaps manual, combat flaps or auto-slats. Max travel for the outboard slats is 15° in auto-slats and 26° for combat-flap or manual flap. Seems like both are always only extending to ~15°.

Any takers? The LE device deflection downwards is about half the realistic travel. Max travel for the inboard LE-droops is 25° - no matter if flaps manual, combat flaps or auto-slats. Max travel for the outboard slats is 15° in auto-slats and 26° for combat-flap or manual flap. For autoslats, check about 7:10min and 7:50min (pull-up) and 15:10 (form barrel roll). For combat-flaps (or manual) check around 8:00min: The apparent travel of the outboard slat is different in both instances. Also compare the apparent size (projected size) of the LE devices with the look in game.

I think so. Makes a lot of sense, because it doesn't artificially constrain playability. You forgot the BE Also, most Cs were relatively close in between each other. Apart from the moroccan CH models, which for example had a doppler nav suite, which made it similar to the nav capabilities of some simpler Es (like the libyan ED).

You can tell by the slat track fairings just above the external tank on the outboard station. Compare this to the EJ, which has none: https://www.airliners.net/photo/Japan-Air-Force/McDonnell-Douglas-Mitsubishi-F-4EJ-Kai-Phantom-II/1879939/L I think they really are identical.

It could; Spain just didn't buy the missiles. When Spain eventually bought qatari F1EDAs, the Super 530Fs were carried by those. https://www.airliners.net/photo/Spain-Air-Force/Dassault-Mirage-F1EDA/804121/L

Some greek (and turkish?) RF-4Es do have slatted wings.

I decided to play around with some mod-objects at Gaziantep:

Thanks for the clarification! The reason why I wrote "minimum radius" is that for all practical purposes, max turn-rate for fighters of this generation is always in the ~400-450kts region and adding drag (slower, more AoA and using combat flaps) won't increase turn-time at all. Hence it was the ony thing making sense in my mind.

I just took a plunge into my wall of books and I stumbled about this curious little fact: 07 January 1944: Egon Mayer (Kommodore JG 2, inventor of the frontal attack tactic) claimed four Viermots (3x B-24, 1x B-17) this day within a time of about ten minutes (13:05 through 13:16, his victories 95 through 98) according to Jochen Prien's Jagdfliegerverbände (Vol 13/IV p.169). I cross-checked this with Eric Mombeek's JG 2 unit history, which also has an entry of four kills by Mayer this day, the last kill clocked at 13:18, though. It also has the information of being killed at an altitude 1500m, which indicates a "final destruction". Mayer would have been flying a plain-Jane Fw 190A-6 or A-7 at the time, not extra guns or armor. Those four kills are also reflected in Donald Caldwell's DAY FIGHTERS (p.179). There's probably a few more of those curiosities, but I think this serves well enough as an initial data-set to answer the question.

The fact that "Herausschüsse" (shooting a bomber out of the formation) and "final destruction" of a Viermot gave you points for the Ritterkreuz, should tell a story. You'd normally not stick around the bombers and try to shoot down more for several reasons: - escort fighters lingering in the vicinity - you spent a good deal of your gas just climbing to altitude and getting to the point of intercept - your air base may be 30mins away at reduced power settings (not too much fuel aboard the german fighters) - the emotional and psychological drain of attacking a formation of 600-800 bombers with maybe 20-25 bombers in firing range during the critical part of the attack - the most fficient way of attacking bombers was a head-on attack, and re-positioning after the attack (turning around, getting ahead again and turning in) ussuallytook too long and too much gas - apart from the threats above - there's no refly button,so you'd play it little cooler and even "sore throat" pilots ("Halskrankheit" - those who were just afew kills short for the Ritterkreuz) might not be too eager to stick around, though they'd usually accept the greater risk when dealing with fighters (and frequently payed the price for it, or ther wingmen did) Unfortunately, the website Luftwaffe.cz is down at the moment, so looking for kill-claims of the top Viermot killers isn't available atm. I'd generall expect up to two bombers killed or heavily damaged to be possible, but any more is a real exception. The Sturmjäger later had a different tactic - approaching from behind with increased armor and more firepower. They might have a couple of multi-kill missions. But generally, I'd still not expect to see three Viermots killed in a singe mission too often. Rather combinations of kills, HSS and final destructions.

Good point!

Form training is progressing well.

I tried to do some quick & dirty test, flying to several different positions and showing the stick-deflection. The "suck in" is noticeable during the last couple of seconds where going fwd of some point, holding position required throttling back a bit. track Probably not the cleanest test-piloting at work here but the stick-deflection vs position and the "suck in" should be evident. Edit: Nevermind, track was corrupted. I'll have to do it again.

Yeah, I already wrote that: So did you run the numbers and come up with figures?
