Not expected from an early 4th gen. fighter. 

Is f-15c 4th gen?

29 can at least do it.

All that’s really left is 

Campaign if single missions aren’t them

 Add engine and emergency controls, ARU switch, range wheel, etc 

Add “advanced” IFF 

Finish implementing coop mode

 continue to refine radar

 Finally add Lazur GCI datalink

+ finished damage model 

+finished wing flex 

As you mentioned herewith?

I still dont get it with the R-73 and the Monocle.
How the heck do you shoot the R-73 using its own sensor and not the IRST?
I never get the typical fox2 sensor growling noise. 

Just looking with the HMD without pressing the "LOCKON" Button does nothing. No growling noise and no chance to get it off the rail.
Pressing and holding "LOCKON" just gives me the IRST lock. 

For my understanding the dashed crosshair means its in a R-73 lock, right?

It’s only from 30-45 degrees off nose it locks only r-73. Get lock and slowly move nose away and you will likely see it eventually. That being said it seems slightly bugged this patch

Either I’ve been lucky or putting the AP/AJ switch in AP has massively improved my r-27 hit rate

Not only that, the R-27R & ER with the new so-called model is just plain broke. Just a sprinkling of chaff is enough to send it off target. @AeriaGloria I will try your method today when I get back from work.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but which “AP/AJ switch” would that be?

The AJ/CAJ switch, which according to the manual provides the same function in the current implementation?
