D4n Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) As you can see in both videos (and .trks, tacviews), the missiles make very undymanic unrealistic turns in the beginning (notice my rapid mouse-movement to highlight those moments). Also affects multiplayer, it is noticable to targeted players when they see a jet launching such a missile at them and the missile making these unrealistic turns (note that air is compressible, so it should be a lot more fluent moves, so only for example torpedos could be able to make such rapid turns as water is not compressible) And yes, SD-10 is using ED missile guidance-scheme: [https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/256309-sd-10-sms-target-size-determines-active-seeker-on-distance/?tab=comments#comment-4516156] (non thrust-vectoring) Heater missiles might also be affected, needs further testing.

VFA41_Lion Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 ok, yes, I see they're in singleplayer. However I've watched hours of AI fighting it out in Liberation missions and in the sim, the launch animations appear smooth and fluid to me. No weird jerking around or anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 1 hour ago, DanielNL said: Obviously the missile turns should be more fluent, that would automatically make them more realistic. omg What do you mean more fluent? The missile spawns, which might cause 'jerking' right at that moment in tacview, then it performs its safety maneuver (correctly or not) and then continues on with PN which will take a certain amount of lead that depends on the target closure (so the lead may be exaggerated at first, though this doesn't seem to be what you're showing). Anyway the behavior is fine, not sure what kind of problem it's causing you right now. There are much bigger fish to fry with missiles. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has nothing to do with having "half good eyes" The question is, what is your rational, evidence based reason its incorrect? The fact that it looks/feels undynamic to you is irrelevant.

dundun92 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) In fact, I decided to download the tacview and see what the turn rate was. The maximum turn rate the missile reached was 12°/sec, and a max G of 8.4. This is well under its maximum G/turn rate capability at that speed. So again, nothing is factually wrong, unless you have evidence that a 12°/s turn rate at M1.2 is somehow too high 16 minutes ago, razo+r said: Perhaps OP is refering to the point (see picture) when the missile stops turning and gains speed that create this corner in the path? No thats not what he's referencing, at least its not whats being shown in the tacviews.

9thHunt Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Is the OP referring to the missiles rolling level after launch? (At least that's when his mouse movements are the most spastic) My understanding is that is the cruciform fins correcting for the extreme bank angle on launch, there's nothing wrong with that. And does he mean "Fluid?" I don't see how the missiles ability to speak clearly factors into this. Also, these are missiles designed to pull extreme g-forces in order to catch targets, if anything, the movements in these videos look too fluid.

D4n Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) There is no acceleration in the changing motions of the missile shortly after launch. They appear to "bounce" off of something like a ball bounces off a wall... that's the thing... but the missiles are not hitting any wall, only the missiles' control-surfaces are moving and thereby the force of the air pushes on these surfaces and gradually (not instantly! An accellerating movement!) turn the missile into the new direction, especially gradually because these missiles have a big mass so shortly after launch, and the law of inertia applies here aswell (and lift-induced drag) Edited January 3, 2021 by DanielNL DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

BlackPixxel Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Tacview is only recording with a rate that is lower than the simulation rate in DCS, maybe this is just why it seems not as smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
