Zeus67 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Zeus, is there any information you can give us about the vertical angle below/behind the plane that this will cover? Anything about the range? Nothing on the range. As for FOV, this image is very clear in showing how limited it is: It basically can only see down and to the sides with probably a limited rear aspect view. As I said before, the location indicates that the designers never considered using the D2M for air-to-air engagements. It is designed to detect MANPADs, which of course will be below the aircraft. However on the Rafale, they included it from the beginning as an air-to-air defense system: In that position on the top of the tail, it can provide 360º warning for missiles launch above and behind with limited capability below. There are probably other sensors in the aircraft belly to cover that area.

il_corleone Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Well, an option for having it OFF and ON would be great, we are fliying in the Caucasus with a Mirage, I dont mind having it if it can carry it. Your module is great and this thing is not an "attack" to the realism, maybe an Exocet would be. I am in 100% but just because of "those guys" an option would be great. And if the worst case, if you don´t want it, dont use it. Edited November 25, 2016 by il_corleone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_corleone Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm sorry that you feel like that and I will try to make that possible. Zeus, maybe a Magic 2 or Magic 2 W/DDM Option? Like two missiles but one of them has the old pylon and the DDM one with that system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azrayen Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I think the "pod" approach is best, this way we may even think of carrying the pylon+DDM without missile. @ Zeus, nice news :) could you please ensure that loading rockets on the external point (with their own pylon, non D2M compatible), will disallow the D2M carrying pylon to be used? Would be nice, if not too tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus67 Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Okay. The modeller came through and made two Magic pylons, one with and one without the DDM sensor. Now I need to make the option work.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Well if you don't want it the switch has an on and.....wait for it.....OFF POSITION. So rather than making two different models and extensive code....just don't turn it on if you don't want it on.

Wizard_03 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Question about pylons: will we eventually get the correct pylons for 4 magic loads? because right now The inner ones use the 530 instead of magic ones DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_coreSix Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Zeus, I love the work you're putting into this but why are you adding things that the real M-2000C never had. Isn't the module supposed to simulate the C not the D model? I can't wrap my head around it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLOVEwindmills Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 If it had the capability of mounting it and even the switch in the cockpit I don't see how its considered unrealistic. We can do ground strikes all the time ingame, how would it not be plausible that in this role it would be equiped with such a system? Not like we are recreating any historically authentic scenarios with the C atm. Anyway, props for the continued support for the 2000 and cool new functionalities, looking forward to using it.

Why would you promise it in the first place if you know that it is unrealistic? Not trying to sound smart but I don't get it. I don't want a mixture of the M-2000C/D which never existed. I want the M-2000C with all it flaws and features :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
