joey45 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 The MIG-21 you speak of is a 3rd party MOD. hence the need to start both engines.. If ED could provide a single and twin engine template for modders that would be great plus add a few more slots in the A/C list. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

But i thought, if a private user is able to make a 3D-Cockpit, ED is it too. And.... before we get cockpit shadows, we should get a 3D-Cockpit. Hope you know, what i meen ;). Greets
joey45 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I do know what you mean. And if I read posts I will not look like a complete nit..:smartass: The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

3Sqn_Sven Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I forgot to add to my previous post, when you lock onto someone with an IR missile who is pumping out flares, the seeker should be decoyed by the flares. Should also be apparent in the HUD with the seeker circle. Currently putting out flares pre launch has little to no effect. It would probably help you guys if you enlisted the assistance of some of the retired Fighter Pilots who fly lock on rather than survey the community for their opinions on systems "bugs".

FLANKERATOR Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 A more realistic IFF system please. In FC it looks like very simple to ID the bogey miles away as the radar sorts out contacts automaticely, whereas it not that obvious in real as pilots need AWACS's or GCI's confirmation before turning weapons hot on a bogey. This will bring the need to do more visual ID's, more close encounters, more fun. Situational Awareness: https://sa-sim.com/ | The Air Combat Dojo: https://discord.gg/Rz77eFj

AWACS can't tell you if it's a bandit that you have locked up now. They'll have to rework the AWACS comm menu, which means rework the AWACS.

AWACS can't tell you if it's a bandit that you have locked up now. Sure it can, not always though. AWACS's NCTR capability is much more powerful.

GGTharos Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Yes, most likely. What a virtual fratricide means after all? nothing? Exactly, nothing. Besides, if you're stuck in a fighter with no IFF transmitter or receiver, that's your own fault ;) (Not that the IFF hardware is perfect, but what the hey - it's simulated simply and effectively for now) Sure it can, not always though. AWACS's NCTR capability is much more powerful. I'm not sure what you're thinking of, but if you're thinking radar based NCTR, I wouldn't count on it too much. AWACS has failed to declare in RL at times. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
FLANKERATOR Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Yes IFF in real as well as ROE's look very tricky and complicated, am fairly sure they wont allow you to shoot at someone not responding to IFF as a friendly without complementary Intel from AWACS or other sources. That's why most of the time it's ending up on VID's. As you mentioned, best is to keep it simple. A bit trigger-happy but that's the best deal given the limitations. NCTR is supposed to be based on radar signature but that is not always accurate, even less for new generation fighters with classified signatures.

GGTharos Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 Yes, in RL they have identification matrices which can include anything from IFF/NCTR/Radio/AWACS/Knowing where the aircraft came from/RWR Indications etc, you get the idea ... Also the IFF radio itself can be finicky, before we even get into IFF failures ... unfortunately programming AI to make all those decisions is time consuming.

None hit, they just blew right past him in to the ground. Choppers was doing >120knts towards me. C'mon Son, fix the damn missiles. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RedCros Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 I am wondering, if anyone knows, how much FC 3 will cost, so i can be prepared. I don`t have much money, it would help me now for buying tomorrow, thx.

I don`t have much money, it would help me now for buying tomorrow, thx. Nobody can really say at this point. If I were to pick a number I would assume $19-$29 dollars but that is only a best guesstimate based on previous pricing tactics. It could just as easily go for higher or lower.
