The mudhen will be the only serious gen 4 striker for a long time. It’s payload and range are unbeatable especially compared against hornets and vipers. Mig23 is a first day buy for me but I can see a multiplayer centerpiece in the F15E for missions like blue flag.

This is as much a question as it is as wish I guess. On some areas of the world GPS signal is not as reliable or fails integrity monitoring. I have personally experienced this in the eastern Mediterranean. Does DCS simulate GPS in any way that can be made unavailable to the clients like a global setting? I can see how this can really spice things up a bit now that we have several full fidelity modules that simulate avionics to a good extend and lots of weapons coming that rely on GPS for guidance.

Why is it something else? I don't think they can release the tomcat without tinkering with it but i could be wrong

Good net code is essential to get the f14 out the door so no wonder they wrote their own code as the code used in the L39 was far from perfect. I love what heatblur do in their products, trying to provide a complete experience from the ground up and not compromising and really dislike other developers' approach to releasing incomplete modules and leaving them in that state until ED release the base code to implement more features. More so as i pay full price for both but one of the 2 is clearly a less polished product. However there has to come a point where multiple implementations of the same thing will become superfluous and will have to be optimized for everyones benefit.

Hi guys if someone of the beta testers can elaborate on how the Sea Eagle works would be great! I checked the documentation included in the module managed to launch it but i can't get it to guide. Thanks!

I keep getting the integrity check failed message on the viggen on some servers its always this file. textures/lns_vig_centerconsole_buttons @ mods/aircraft/ajs37/textures I tried erasing and running a repair, repairing only and its just keeps popping up. Any suggestions anyone?

I’d rather have SU24 or tornado. Especially the SU24. Low level interdictions of NATO bases in Cold War scenarios sound sexy as hell and we need more Warsaw Pact airframes. Sadly I wouldn’t keep my hopes up.

The one we are getting doesn’t. You need to compensate with tactics.

No poor weather in that video...

Lousy weather in Europe? LoL Bad weather would be the norm in most scenarios other than mid summer. Except for target identification poor weather and icing pose great risk in the most common phases of flight especially landing. I wouldn’t want to operate the mig23 in low ceilings and near zero temps. Not that western fighters would be unaffected but they re easier to fly in imc. DCS of course doesn’t bother with such trivial things as weather and icing. So.... where’s my mig23?

People will be butthurt all over the place when the Tomcat releases. Those that got killed by the Phoenix ubermissile and those that will cry it is nerfed and useless. Point is the former would have been killed by anything shot at them and the latter would have missed with anything you gave them. Same with jester or no jester. Typical dcs arcade crowd. Fact is the Mig23 is BADLY needed and I would be super exited to fly it despite being a Tomcat junkie.

JA37 has some classified systems on it that were used on the gripen as well so looks unlikely we’ll be getting it anytime soon.

The standby compass displays remains stuck until the INS is aligned. If this has been reported elsewhere please delete.

Not this again. The arcade crowd will go berserk again...

I don’t know if it matters but spotting in real life in dcs altitudes and speeds is PITA too. Exhaust gases play a critical role as they tend to have a different hue then the surrounding sky and fan out quite a lot but making out shapes is pretty hard even in close ranges.

Very hard to create a radar like the hornets right from the start. We bought early access and this is what we get. I hope a time comes in the future where all radars in DCS are based on the hornets raycaster system.

Exactly. People are bitching about the PG map performance and most of it is plain desert. A Central Europe map would be unplayable unless object count was too small and or a LOT of sea was involved.

Try Mavericks or BK90s. Try to stand off as much as you can. Flares are effective , I don’t know why they don’t work for you. If they allow BK90s those are your best choice for wrecking a FARP. 2 AAA and 2 IR SAMS lies on the excessive side of air defenses for a single target so I’d stay away from athe classic viggen armaments.

I don’t think anyone cares. They just like arguing.

Power isn’t a measure of thermal signature. Low bypass engines create insane amounts of power with relatively low EGTs unlike the low bypass afterburning engines mounted on fighters. I am inclined to believe EDs M2000-5 engine signature is more correct in this matter than Razbams. Maybe we could get an official statement?

I don’t think anyone has heat signature data as it is likely a classified matter. It is a function of mass flow through the engine and EGT. I would expect the mirage to be in the same ball park as the F16 maybe a bit less due to the anemic engine but definitely comparable.

Clusters? Fire bombs? FFS people get over yourselves...

Having TWS and a radar that keeps targets locked before adding more stuff to shoot is not 100% refined. It’s common sense.
