This is a pretty short page but anyone have any clue if ED or the other developers are ever going to add later Flanker models? i would love to see some thrust vectoring Flankers in the game

Hi guys! Su-27/J-11 cockpit skin that upgrades its Data Link and turns it into a much more informative device. It brings situational awareness to a whole new level. You are able to instantly know range to all contacts that are shown on the screen. You can tell what is the speed and altitude are for each of the contact with minor error margins. I released it few momths ago and it seems first few hundreds of huge Flanker gang liked it so i decided to create a thread for it so more of you guys would know about it and benefit from this improvrment. Cockpit itself is a dark edit of Devrim`s english cockpit. Link to skin: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313790/ There is a youtube video at the download page about this and other Flanker upgrade and it shows howthey work and how to use them. Here`s how it looks: Here`s the front dash picture with this DL: And wider view:

I keep seeing eagles flying around at mach 2 with ease. Yet, when I try that in the flanker it takes 5 minutes just to get to mach 1.5. I figured it was the weapons drag+fuel weight, so I put it in the editor with no weapons and reduced fuel so it had the same internal fuel as the eagle. The eagle still accelerated faster than the flanker. Ok, so maybe the extra weight of the flanker is causing more drag which is more important than thrust at supersonic speed? I thusly reduced the flanker's fuel even more until the flanker and eagle had the same total weight. Now I was certain that the flanker would leave the eagle in the dust because it has 44 more kN of thrust with the same weight. The eagle out accelerated the flanker again. This time I let the simulation run until the eagle had reached 2000 kmh. The flanker was still creeping toward 1600 kmh. My question is, why is this so? Does the larger airframe create too much drag to accelerate much past 1500 kmh? Does the airframe compromise aerodynamics in favor of high AoA controllability? Do the air intakes on the flanker not perform as well at supersonic speeds compared to the eagle? Does the space between the engines on the flanker cause some kind of drag at supersonic speeds? tl;dr Why doesn't the flanker's additional 44 kN of thrust make it accelerate faster than an eagle of the same weight? flanker-eagle-acc.trk

There is a bug where contacts that are in direct visibility and are not obscured by terrain from AWACS do not appear at all on datalink (while being called out by this very AWACS) Also contacts that are visible at some point in time dissapear from DL for no reason ( same altitude, speed and direction and in direct AWACS visibility moment after dissapearing from DL screen. And well within detection range and parameters) To reappear random time after that(few dozens of seconds to few minutes) when at the moment of subsequent appearance its detection parameters are already deteriorated. That goes for both friendlies and bandits. Happens on Su-27,Su-33,J-11A. FlankersDatalinkBug

Hey, I wanted to download a flanker skin but couldn't find a folder with its name, unlike for the hornet. I searched on google but couldn't find any relevant informations. The folders I am talking about are located in Saved Games\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft The skins I put in the FA-18C folder work fine so I assume it is the right place...

When trying to use autopilot with game flight mode, the plane randomly pitches up and down instead of holding altitude. The "route following" autopilot mode frequently results in crashing. When I don't use game flight mode, the autopilot works flawlessly at the expense of having the plane stall upside-down all the time.

Hi! I am a new player and I am wondering what module I should get. Because It is cheap, I will only be getting one of the FC3 aircraft (A10A, F15, Su27/J11, Su33 and Mig29). I have created a poll as to which aircraft I should buy and could I ask you why you chose that option in the discussion below. Thanks!
