WinterH Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yeah I wouldn't take a promotional image for a WIP thing as gospel.

Ramius007 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Current FC 3 Fulcrum have adventage in 80-90's scenario over Hornet in kinetic performance and F-16 due having BVR capability that Viper dont have, F-15C is less popular LF module and Tomcat is real adversary, Fulcrum will be dengerous always, and in good hands very dengerous, biggest limitation will be fuel, not avionics, even if ED make radar modelling right, like difficulties of picking cold targets, or radar not being able to see 2 target when 2 planes fly close to each other, it still will be top of food chain, but again, afterburner time is very limited and extra skill Mig pilot will have to learn is gliding back to base It's significantly less fuel than similar sized US jets, but also less fuel than Viggen or Mirage. My biggest concern is pricing of Mig and fact FC3 is in top 3 most popular modules, it will be hard sell for a lot of people who already own FC3 without some promo for FC3 owners, but it's another topic...

JetFighterGirl Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Funny of you to think pricing while there was no announcement of what's included in the module. It will be priced at full price that ED wants and lots of people will buy it at that price. I saw a comment form the the ED boss that there won't be any reductions for FC3 as these are two separate products. But you know... everything is subject to change.

Do you think it's possible to bounce datalink radio against the ionosphere with 80s radio tech? Yes, thats exactly what I'm saying, because I've done it. I'm just not 100% sure if the Russian DL's actually worked like that or not, but from the specs on the radios its certainly a possibility. 10 hours ago, GGTharos said: There is a list published by someone (you probably know this better than I do) listing the RCS' of various DCS aircraft. You can probably do some reasonably easy math to determine the detection range according to the radar equation and that RCS Certainly 3rd party modules have now gone beyond this and there is a probabilistic detection game happening. FC3 does not have this, and I don't know if the ED FF birds do. Yeah, I know the chart and it got posted, given that its the 4th root of RCS in the radar equation its likely why I never noticed cuz there is no actual difference between a 3m and 5m target worth noticing its like a few %range wise. Anyhow the horse is now dead and we are now in the realm of sadonecroposting. Edited January 11 by Harlikwin 1 New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

WinterH Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think discounts for two full fidelity versions of the same aircraft made by same developer is a good idea, somewhat necessary even in my opinion. However, not sure just a part of the FC3 warrants a discount on a full module. It would be nice gesture if ED decides to give a small discount perhaps, but I can't really say I see it as necessary to be honest. 1 Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeriaGloria Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 4 hours ago, Bremspropeller said: Naturally - you're my evil twin, after all The way I understand the VVS/ Frontal Aviation role is that they all have at least a secondary air-ground role. In a way, the Fulcrum is just a Boomer's MiG-21. Which is awesome. Ref the tandem 500kg bombs: I'd like that loadout, just as much as I'd like possibly jury-rigged loadouts of the 9.12B-varaiant users. Remember, we'll have the maps to depict middle-eastern Fulcrums big time. So as slong as something doesn't require too much (classified) computer fiddling, I'm game. Ref 9.13: Didn't the 29S also have a flight-controls upgrade? I seem to remember they gave it 2° more AoA allowance for the AFCS-limiter. I also seem to remember (might be wrong, though) that the 9.12 had those retrofitted in the VVS. Again, that might be an mis-remembrance. Would be awesome to have that tick-box if it was a thing. 9.13 no, but yes for S upgrade. There is 9.12S also when you apply S upgrade to 9.12. A stock 9.13 is only different in humpback of fuel compared to 9.12. A really doubt a 9.13S will be possible until maybe a MiG-29 2 upgrade in 5-10 years Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draconus Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 6 hours ago, Pavlin_33 said: Is it me or is the RL SPO on the MiGgy only capable of detecting missile launches from "Nike Hercules"? It's capable of detecting many more SAMs but, as said, it's programmable and it's categorized for the different lights on the Beryoza, grouped by the type and probably also similar search/track radars in band/frequency, so ex. for the "H" light it was usually "Nike Hercules", "Patriot" and "Talos" types. We had that conversation already in this thread.

Pavlin_33 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I meant detecting launches, as in 2Hz flashing red light together with "beep-beep" sound.
