Boris Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 As we all know, there is realistic IR missile sight option in the MiG-21 options. I'm wondering why this is even an option. In a module that's supposed to be as realistic as possible, why is there an unrealistic option outside of the game mode? And why is the unrealistic option the default setting? 3 PC Specs / Hardware: MSI z370 Gaming Plus Mainboard, Intel 8700k @ 5GHz, MSI Sea Hawk 2080 Ti @ 2100MHz, 32GB 3200 MHz DDR4 RAM Displays: Philips BDM4065UC 60Hz 4K UHD Screen, Pimax 8KX Controllers / Peripherals: VPC MongoosT-50, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, modded MS FFB2/CH Combatstick, MFG Crosswind Pedals, Gametrix JetSeat OS: Windows 10 Home Creator's Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I was wondering the same...as far as I understood the only difference is that by default the pipper follows the target the IR missiles are locked onto, but realistically you should only hear the tone (which is not very loud, even after turning the volume all the way up :( ) Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Tau Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I think there should be an option to force setting on server side. Eg in M2k mission designer can force a necessity to align INS, which overrules any setting you selected in special options tab Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asla36 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sadly the way it is right now is that IIRC you can turn off these settings, in MP, for increased realism (because they usually do unrealistic things). But the issue with it is that with the MiG-21bis, it actually reduces realism.

And why is the unrealistic option the default setting? The reason is that on earlier versions of the MiG-21bis product the pipper behaved in the unrealistic manner. Instead of simply fixing it to behave correctly the developers added an option to make the pipper behave correctly because they were afraid of upsetting their customers. I have no problem with options for unrealistic behavior (although it's such a minor difference I don't see the value), but the real behavior should be default. Server administrators do not have the time to adjust things like this and the user suffers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
