Bucic Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I started to think it's a bug related to Mi-24P specifically but I'm not sure anymore. I used to check the Sidewinders working by pointing the nose at the sun or the nearby Su-17's. At one point I couldn't even get a lock on a Su-17. bug F-5E sidewinder vs mi-24p no lock.trk Latest OB no radar lock/assist AIM-9P confirmed in the loadout I got a video as well. Notably, when the Sidewinder got blind it didn't even respond to the Mi-24P deploying pairs of flares. https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Hi @Bucic. You are trying to lock a hot Mi-24P with an AIM-9P, which is a rear aspect missile. From behind, it works fine. rear then front.trk Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucic Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) I don't quite remember the scenario but I seriously doubt I'd go for a bug report if it was only about front aspect. Also, I specifically mentioned flares. Flares have no aspect I'll review the track sometime later or provide a clearer proof of rear aspect case. EDIT: Three more (loose) details: 1. I've played the mission to death. 2. Mi-24's in DCS are flying glitches. 3. I often "look up the pipes" of Mi-24 before firing a missile.

Flappie Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I could not reproduce your issue with flares. And yes, when I replayed your track, the all-seeing Mi-24 had already turned to face the F-5. Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Bucic Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) I'm going to try to catch an occurrence of that bug again. I think I've got the flares issue on one of my video recordings. Also, with the heat suppressors the 24 has I don't think rear/front should make a big difference.

Bucic Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 Yep, at the end of the following video you can see the AIM got flare-blind. Bot, to the flares already falling and the newly deployed ones. Throughout the video I probe other objects for AIM sensitivity. At one point it acquires an Su-22 5.5 km out from his 10 o'clock. Attached are all my 'buggy AIM' related tracks. Most of them probably not in the "respect Flappie's time" mode but hey.
