Bremspropeller Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) Cheers, the Sidewinders (all of them) are placed too far aft. They need to be placed a good deal forward. Compare the screenshots with some photos. Edited November 19, 2022 by Vibora 4 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremspropeller Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 The fwd tip of the launcher needs to end just aft of the fwd Sidewinder fins. So ein Feuerball, JUNGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giskvoosk Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I'm more concerned that the sidewinder rail doesn't seem to have been modelled at all. I did a quick image search on the internet, sidewinder and magic doesn't seem to share the same launch rail. I've yet been able to identify the exact types but they do have dissimilar geometry at least. The one on our in game model resembles magic rail more than the sidewinder's rail: Magic rails: Magic rail on left wing tip, sidewinder rail right for acmi pod or something alik Sidewinder rail: Edited August 24, 2022 by Giskvoosk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be the case, yeah. Good observation! I'm more concerned with the airplane looking goofy with Sidewinders on, though Altogether maybe an early acces thing? 1 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!

Nealius Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The problem isn't the position but rather the Sidewinder model itself. The AIM-9P and J 3D models are shorter than they should be by a great deal. I think the JULI is accurate but I haven't compared the three recently so my memory is fuzzy.

I'm aware of the anecdote however i cant verify if its merely software/connectivity compatibility or a hardware compatibility expanded to the rail. I suspect its the former. It could make less sense if Dassault developed a different rail for Spanish when the indigenous magic rail, which is mounted on wing tip almost exclusively in French service, is already compatible with sidewinders. After all, its the CE version that we have in game, a correct sidewinder rail would be more appropriate in this case. 10 hours ago, Nealius said: The problem isn't the position but rather the Sidewinder model itself.

J is included relatively recently in the game, around March or April this year. Its teeny tiny a bit short of 3m, meets the open source info. P has been modelled ~2.78 which IRL should be 3m also...? But it depends on the rocket/propellent types im not sure how it varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCO489 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 This values on Mirage-F1.lua could solve the issue, making the missiles look ina more realistic position like the image above.

DSplayer Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Well it doesn't help that the AIM-9s currently have inaccurate lengths which can contribute to the pylon placement being incorrect. 1 -Tinkerer, Certified F-14 and AIM-54 Nut | Discord: @dsplayer Setup: i7-8700k, GTX 1080 Ti, 32GB 3066Mhz, Lots of Storage, Saitek/Logitech X56 HOTAS, TrackIR + TrackClipPro Modules: F-14, F/A-18, JF-17, F-16C, Mirage 2000C, FC3, F-5E, Mi-24P, AJS-37, AV-8B, A-10C II, AH-64D, MiG-21bis, F-86F, MiG-19P, P-51D, Mirage F1, L-39, C-101, SA342M, Ka-50 III, Supercarrier, F-15E Maps: Caucasus, Marianas, South Atlantic, Persian Gulf, Syria, Nevada Mods I've Made: F-14 Factory Clean Cockpit Mod | Modern F-14 Weapons Mod | Iranian F-14 Weapons Pack | F-14B Nozzle Percentage Mod + Label Fix | AIM-23 Hawk Mod for F-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkeydriver Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 The Magic and Sidewinder can use the same wing mounting bolts and electrical connections BUT NOT THE SAME RAIL. This is IRL confirmed. The Magic uses the LM39 Rail and the AIM-9 uses the AERO 3B, called the ADP-8 in Spanish service. They are different rails. What the Dassault manual means when they are compatible means the mounting bolts for the rail to the actual wing and the electrical connectors are the same, NOT the rails. 2 VF-2 Bounty Hunters https://www.csg-1.com/ DCS F-14 Pilot/RIO Discord: https://discord.gg/6bbthxk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
