Dynamic information calculator and more accurate encyclopedia

[Fri13]

It would be nice to get the graphical presentation of the missile performance like in the Soviet manual about R-27, but for all missiles and other bombs/rockets in DCS encyclopedia.

 

1km, 5km, 10km altitudes

180 degree tail chaise, 90 degree beaming and 0 degree head-on

Launch at 900 km/h and 1100 km/h to a target at 900 km/h or 1100 km/h

If the DCS Encyclopedia would include a such graph by ED in the DCS simulator in the standard weather, it would help a lot of people to argue against and behalf of the simulator. I would argue it would minimize the amount of the arguments about bad missile performance as it would be clearly shown the expectations what the missiles would be able to do.

 

Then same thing for the bombs and rockets, give the altitude, speed and range graph.

 

The same for the aircrafts with amount of fuel when the aircraft is in the mission editor or refueling state, give a circle, time and altitude for the default parameter (like 7km altitude, 550km/h speed and 10 minutes station time at the destination or X seconds with afterburner) before the aircraft is required to return.

 

If that would be dynamic one, even better. Let the mission designer to easily tick settings for given requirements like the aircraft will drop all bombs at the target, to calculate the return time and range. As well calculate the true range without drop tanks from the start or for a given position, so the pilot will get the understanding how they might drop ie. 60% of the fuel in any given moment when they eject them when attacked.

 

Lots of these parameters would help virtual pilots as the mission designers if ED would offer the dynamic calculator and specs graphics with simple manner so players can avoid using third party apps and excel sheets etc.
