Maybe you dug into these questions and can help me: How do you take into account working engine when you calculate drag coefficient? Do you simply neglect rocket back wall when integrating pressure over the surface to get the drag force? Obviously you do not want to simulate supersonic jet with nozzle all the time. Do you know how it is made in industry or how does ED make it? Cd is mostly a value for engineering applications so it looks logical to separate drag and engine forces. Do you use cross sectional area of the rockets as the reference area in Cd equation? Are you sure everybody use the same value? Do you take into account thermal effects? What ED did? Do you use ideal or real gas models for supersonic cases? What ED did? Obviously rocket has a lot of control surfaces. And it is useless to apply any angle of atack with all control surfaces at 0 angle as it is not a real situation. Do we know any data about control surfaces movement during flight and manouvers? Feel free to share any thoughts about the topic. 1) Currently DCS can't take this effect into account so I didn't even investigate this. 2) Yes, I used the cross section area as seen from the front, this is what most sources I have on the subject did and as such I used this value as well (Cd0 value). 3) Yes 4) Real and unknown but in all probability real iirc ideal gas models start to fall apart quickly as you get to supersonic flow. 5) Not 100% useless as often there is only one set of fins that moves, additionally it'll get you a reasonable lift value if you can't individually model the control surfaces. To get an accurate enough model where it makes a difference you need to model each control surface. Make it so it has an associated lift value based on the current airflow. Currently i'm unsure if DCS does this for the new model and if it does how to adjust these values. In short its good enough for our purposes but for more complex models you would want to take this into account.
Hodo Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 I did manage to get a 40km R-27ER kill the other night online. I was at 10km asl going 1150kmh true engaging a F-4 AI flying at 700kts head on. I was impressed.
dundun92 Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 ive gotten 50+km ER and ET kills on PvP, apparently people think you can just out crank a 50nm ER from 12km M1.2 Eagle Enthusiast, Fresco Fan.

AFAIK the new FM does. [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

For the older stuff I think they tried to simulate this by adding thrust, but this causes its own problems.
