WIP and the last Ace Combat skin for Mirage 2000C I'll do

After this I'll probably wait with making any more skins until the Viggen is released

>>133728649

Oh wait my mistake, I thought we were getting the Block 2, not 5.

Still, it's still a pretty early model with "basic air-to-ground capabilities" as VEAO calls it.

Also it's VEAO, god knows how long it'll take them to finish it, if they even get that far. I'd much rather invest my hype in the F-18

>>133729724
>god knows how long it'll take them to finish it
I'm betting on ED revoking their 3rd party licence before Typhoon arrives if the P-40 launch is anything like the Hawk.

How hard is it to learn the Mirage 2000? If it's like the Mig-21 that's good, but I don't have the time to learn another A-10

>>133730258
Easier than the MiG, a lot easier than the A-10.

Fairly straight forward and since it's Fly-by-wire it's real easy to fly too.

>>133729825
Considering shit that the Typhoon launched with is still classified and they couldn't get the fucking jet trainer right then the Typhoon is gonna be a shitshow

I'm trying making a mission but the AAA guns just stopped shooting enemies. It used to work but suddenly they just ignore targets, why?!

>>133737119
They ran out of ammo?

Also, you need to provide some more info on this stuff. I'm no mission maker myself but you should probably elaborate more so someone else who can help you can have some background to your problem.

>>133737854
I tried restarting the mission, reloading the mission, spawning new guns, making new groups, day, night, different altitudes and targets. And I just cant get them to fire anymore.

>>133738203
This may sound dumb, but have you tried restarting DCS itself?

>>133738351

I'd actually be satisfied with a nice coop campagin. Is it really so expensive to hire a few decent community map makers who make a nice campaign with some help by programmers to make it work well with DCS. I'd actually pay money for that.

>>133747234
you can make every mission into a coop really easily you know, and they'd actually be balanced for it, since playing them alone is insanity.

I'm not really concerned about getting it down, I am more concerned why I get three UPs when in reality that shit is evidently sticking out.

Where is the problem? Shitty simulation? Proper simulation, but shitty plane? Bug?

>>133752504
No I think that maybe you released the landing gear using that emergency lever so the front wheel deployed even though the indicator doesn't show that. I'm not sure if that's how it works, but it might not necessarily be a bug or anything.

At least it isn't an EC145. The Army bought a ton without really looking at them, and as it turns out they have a fly-by-wire connection running right through the seam in the canopy, meaning one round hits it and it becomes an uncontrollable rock. The UH-72s, therefore, are confined to CONUS

So how do you actually navigate from way point to way point in the MiG-21??

It doesn't show up on the F-10 map, which would be basically cheating. I had to use the F10 map and compare to the kneeboard. I feel like there has got to be a better way.

There weren't any NBD's or anything at the waypoints.


Also pics from max comfy ops

>>133778738
Dead reckoning.

>>133778738
Take a piece of paper and jot down the waypoint azimuth and distance, landmarks to look out for, distance and bearing from NDB etc.

MiG-21's red lights are the coolest shit. So classic.

Also I love how the sunlight removes the red. Amazing.

>>133778738
Pretty much just eyeball it and use NDBs where possible even if they're not all that useful. I don't understand why the hell they can't make the F10 map show waypoints, I guess you could just use the kneeboard instead and mark your position to figure out where you are but both of those methods feel like cheating and the kneeboard maps are kind of shit too.

Also the sunlight washing out the red backlighting is neat and I'm glad they added it but it seems a bit buggy still for me and it often doesn't look right, I guess it's probably a hard effect to get just right.

Reminder that German tanks had effectively no armour because it catastrophically failed on any hit, all of their designs were subject to extreme levels of mechanical failure, their industry was sabotaged by PoWs and frequent allied bombing, their soldiers were barely trained as the war went on, they were fighting on multiple fronts, and lead by a meth addict with who thought he knew more about warfare than his generals and advisors, yet it still took Soviets superior numbers, huge amounts of lend lease, and four years to overcome this opponent.

>>133846298
Sure it can, head to head brawling? Probably not.
Fly it like a MiG-21, 530s are shorter ranged than AMRAAMs so you'll need to close distance.

As for whether you should get it, I would wait, it still has some ways to go (Radar is buggy and missing features, missing major systems and only now has IFF in 2.0.1).

desu I'm not even sure if i'd buy it when it is 100% complete, Compared to the MiG-21 BiS it's Bang/Buck ratio is pretty low. You only get two A/A missiles (which you can only carry 2 of each) and then a small assortment of bombs + Rocket pod. Plus compared to the MiG-21 it's fairly easy/straight forward to fly so there's nothing really there to spend time learning.

It's still not decided whether they will give the C the ARMAT (Anti-rad missile) but if they do it would nice incentive to pick it up.

>>133847076
>It's still not decided whether they will give the C the ARMAT (Anti-rad missile) but if they do it would nice incentive to pick it up.

I'm pretty sure they won't, they've said they've no idea how it is employed, not even basic HUD symbology. They'd have to make up 100% of the arming, aiming, & firing procedure as well as the ballistics of the missile itself.

>>133831869
I hear that mod makes it almost completely uncontrollable by adding an excessive amount of controller lag

>>133846349
>implying the eurocucks that play ops aren't all neets
Europoors* sorry.

>>133848868
The balistics can be taken from the shape of the missile it self, you make a 3d model and you run a simulation for it.

rocket engine is w/e just make it a better version of some older french missile and it should be close enough.

>>133849628
You're right of course, but it still stands that they've admitted on the forums they have no idea what the pilot actually does to fire it. Which I think rules out its inclusion.

Even our varient of the RDI couldn't fire the ARMAT I would still support it's inclusion if they knew how it was fired on other Mirages. But it's super sekrit frog knowledge and I'd rather they didn't flat out make things up.

>>133848868

Will we ever aviate in an AV-8?

With this and the Mirage, we could reenact the Falklands

So is their some mythical secret behind Super 530's? I'll lock onto a target well within range and the missile don't hit/ or seemingly disappears

Is this just a bug or am I doing something wrong?

>>133858739
You need to press the lock button twice, if you press it once it goes TWS, twice goes STT

>>133858739
ED has sekrit french documents, missile is fine


WHERE IS PROOFS?

>>133858739
Are you locking on twice? For some goddamn reason you have to do it twice before it actually tracks and yet the plane will happily let you fire the missile anyway even if it isn't locked on to anything. If everything is properly locked and in range and if the missile is in a good mood and isn't out to lunch then the HUD will say TIR and if I remember right there's some sound also.

>>133859203

Okay, I didn't know about locking onto it twice and now the missile starts going towards the target and breaks a hard left if the target is turning. Even when I'm right behind the target it just completely goes off target. Even the gunsight is completely off target. I know somethings wrong here.

>>133861710
Are you using Super530s or Matra Super530s?

Anything without 'Matra' in front of it is the DCS missiles which are absolute garbage.

The missions use the DCS ones by default so you'd need to go into the editor and change them.

>>133861878
I'm just using the default air intercept loadout. So I'm guessing make my own with the Matra S530's?

>>133862312
Yes.

>>133861878

What's the deal with that anyways. Why can't ED let razbam replace the generic ones with the ones from the Mirage.

>>133862353
Alright I did that and it actually splashed

Why are the DCS ones in anyway?

>>133863229
Maybe Razbam hasn't figured out how to do it. The module installation for the Mirage includes a bunch of custom sounds for the engine and stuff like that, but they're not actually used ingame because Razbam hasn't figured out how to make the game use those sounds instead of the generic sound effects.

>>133863330
>>133863453
The RAZBAM ones are like a one patch old, they will replace the DCS ones in a future patch.

>>133859725

>Substituting Mirage 2000 for Mirage III

Might as well use Mig-29s instead of 19s and 21s.

>>133863330
Also another question, whenever I fire a missile with a lock. The Mirage banks left/Right and the HUD shows a D. How do I turn this off?

>>133864536
Turn it off?

The banking is because you have removed weight from one part of your aircraft, but not the other, so it banks.

The D and G is telling you what missiles you have left.

>>133864536
It banks because now one wing is heavier than the other. The G and D on the HUD are gauche and droite (left and right), it shows which missile you have selected.

>>133866806
Nah, I'd love to get into BMS but the control setup is so shit and unintuitive that if you don't have a fully fledged HOTAS it's next to impossible to play BMS properly AND be combat effective at the same time. Maybe when I get a proper HOTAS.

>>133866786

>>133859281
I play BMS almost every night and typically post screenshots from whatever I did that night but I never do MP.

>>133866754
That happens to the FC3 jets as well. Even the SFM ones.

>>133869113
Why not MP?

>>133846298

In BFM you'll steamroll an F-15, against a Flanker you have a faster instantaneous turn rate, but you bleed energy like a motherfucker.

>>133870196
It's hard enough getting it working with people who know what they're doing and I just generally don't like how prohibitive and complicated something gets the instant you try and coordinate people into a MP mission. Something that would take 5 minutes by myself turns into a 30 minute ordeal.

It's really cool when things go right and I have the free time to spare though, but that's not usually how my nights go.

>>133870436
You got to be real chill dealing with 4 new guys and slowly walking through shit.

I think the datalink makes BMS easier for the newer guys once they know how to fly. Flying DCS, they're blind the minute they take off.

In real world terms, how deadly is a system like the SA-8 which contains all it's systems in a single platform?

>>133872371
Depends on the battlespace.

Since it's mobile and self-contained you can move it around and into sneaky spots.

No Escape Zone calculation is:

Weapon max range - (Weapon max range/Weapon max speed)*Target max speed

Examples include:
SA-8 vs Low flying F-16:
10km - (10km / ~2470kmh)*1470kmh
= 4 km NEZ.

65-76 Torpedo vs Oliver Hazard Perry FFG:
13.4nm - (13.4nm / 50kts)*29kts
= 5.6nm NEZ.

SA-11 vs MH17
35km- (35km / 3704kmh)*950kmh
= 26km NEZ.

Well, the radar will finally be able to move in elevation next patch which should help a lot with maintaining lock while maneuvering as moving too much in pitch causes the target to go out of the radar cone right now.

>>133863229
Razbam devs have said their missiles will replace the ED ones but they first need to go and edit out the old ED ones from the missions they've made and make sure there isn't any other old code referencing the old missiles that can cause issues.

>>133895564
So much for modular programming.

>>133895564
I'm no expert or anything but why can't they just take the old missiles and update all the numbers to what they're supposed to be and use that instead of making an all new missile and manually swapping them? I want to like Razbam and I want to believe and they do seem to be doing pretty diligent work, but it seems like they do some pretty incompetent shit sometimes.

>>133877970
Thing about racing sims is if you want to talk about the cars themselves, there's /o/. If you want to talk about the game then there isn't much to talk about regarding complaining about balance and new features are extremely rare in all racing sims as their dev teams are slow as fuck and never do anything.

I just want it to have a larger number of tracks which are more realistic and not so wide. I haven't bought it as I'm hoping they do that since the amount of rally stages in the game right now doesn't appeal to me.

>>133896625
But didn't they make the Magic and the Super530D missiles themselves? Or were those already ingame before Razbam made the Mirage module? If those missiles were already made by ED previously for use by AI planes and now Razbam has made their own separate missiles for the module then never mind, I understand.

I made a little mission to practice dogfighting in the Mirage. I took down two MiG-21s I'm a huge shitter so I probably would've gotten rekt in a fair fight against another 4th gen fighter but I blew all my missiles and still had a big fat AWACS plane to down. For some reason my useless wingman just would not fire his last remaining 530D so I tried getting some cannon practice instead. I fired all 15 rounds and then was totally out of ammo so I tried to just buzz him real close instead for some aerobatics practice.

>>133914683
I noticed when I was at bingo fuel but then I did some rough estimation and figured that I would have just enough fuel to get back.

>Artyom (Russian: Apтём) is a male given name common in Russia and other Slavic-speaking countries. The name uses the "ё" letter, which can be transcribed to English as "e" but still has the "yo" sound. Furthering confusion there is another name Artem (Ukrainian: Apтeм), whose only spelling in English is "Artem", and is pronounced with the "em" ending syllable.

I assume it likely uses a system similar to the A-10C MWS system we have in DCS where it detects the missile launch smoke with some more high tech features like detecting a new heat source and maybe using high quality cameras that can detect small objects moving at high speed and some other high tech shit.

Who knows though, that shit will be classified for an extremely long time.

Depends on if the RAF even lets them do it. I wouldn't be surprised if they're allowed to use the current MWS system of the A-10C but nothing more.

Although I think RAZBAM is doing a system for the M-2000C and I have no idea how accurate it's supposed to be or if it'll be guesswork. The M-2000C did not actually have a MWS system, called D2M, but has the switches and whatnot implemented in the cockpit, it just lacked the sensors on the body of the plane according to ED forum posts. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2696614#post2696614

There's actually a way to get pulled over in the air, it's called an intercept, and if you don't comply you're asking to get shot the fuck down

Would you fly with greg as your wingman?

Now if only I could figure out how to make the bombsights actually work as advertised

Better question is what weapons/vehicles will not be present in Apex in order to sell later as DLCs?

I bought it on a discount but aside from (kinda cool looking) Tonoa, I have no idea what Apex actually has to offer.

If you want the source it's here and a pretty interesting read. The article is written twice, just scroll down for English unless you happen to be Norwegian.

>he finally sends it
>now you can get Arma + DLCs + Apex for $55

basically I had to pay for the DLCs separately because Apex wasn't on steam for the longest time

The A-10C is THE best ground attacker currently in the game and probably in existence it is very easy to fly, but you need to know the procedures required for startup and actually spend some time on setting up your hotas for all the buttons and stuff.


If you want to, I can give you some basic lessons. I fucking love the A-10C and everyone who says shit about my planefu can go eat a bowl of GBU-10s.

When I do the startup tutorial I move the throttle to idle with the APU on and nothing happens

I WANT MY F-18 NOW

Hop on teamspeak, if you want, we could sort this out.

Apart from that there could be a few reasons:

inverter switch not on, apu power not on, fuel pumps not on,...

>>133945775
Nvm I got it. Fuck how does anyone remember this startup sequence
