jesus fucking christ this general has gone to shit. in air combat training, you fly 1v1 to learn the maneuvering portion of air combat, how to defeat an opponent through superior placement of your aircraft and management of your own energy. you fly 2v2 afterward to learn how to win a fight with tactics, how to fight alongside a wingman and how to outsmart your enemy instead of outfly them.

it has nothing to do with esports you chode.

>>160150069
Depends what you want to fly

Are there any good freeware management simulators?

>>160150471

F-5, MiG-21, pretty much anything really. I don't even have the fundamentals of air combat down, so anything I learn should be able to be taken to other aircraft. I'd just prefer to fly something with missiles, pure guns combat is a bit too easy to win with good defensive flying I find.

>>160150568
The F-5 and the MiG are rather good aircraft to start with, but these aren't going to teach you how to BVR at all. But like you said your going to want to be able to bring what you learn to other shit.

>>160151146

How the hell do you even learn BVR? I have no clue how to reliably defeat an AMRAAM other than notching and hoping for the best, or going down and dirty in the weeds to try and break lock with terrain/cause the missile to strike a hill or something.

>>160151887

Looks like I've got reading material at work for a few weeks now.

Would you recommend practicing against the AI at all? When I was flying the prop fighters, I found they were super predictable, which made it really easy to learn the counters to the few maneuvers they'd make and then take them down within a couple of turns. Not sure how that'll hold up in a world with missiles, though- the AI seems much more geared towards fighting in high performance jets (considering the principal defensive move for them seems to be a straight vertical climb)

DCS Prop plane AI are really shit when it comes to dogfighting but they are used to be in jets going alot more faster than 300mph. But AI is only going to get you so far in learning how to kill stuff and once you get there you will good for your first few fights vs a human.

So I've just gotten back into DCS, been flying the F-5 mostly because it's really fun to fight MiG-21s in it and m u l t i r o l e

I have a few questions that Google hasn't been able to solve for me:

Is there any way to export just the gun camera footage from DCS without having to save the track?

Is there a table with release parameters and reticule depression for all the ordinance available, including the snakeyes? Those have been omitted from every table I've seen, along with air to ground gun employment parameters

Is there a dummy bomb with a smoke charge in DCS right now? I'd really like to be able to practice bombing runs and have a consistent smoke plume from each hit so I can see how far off I am after a pass.

also lmao
>heaters still growl even if you don't have the pylons selected despite several people on different websites pointing out that's incorrect

>>160162730
There's a table in the manual that BST posted on the forums

>>160165741

The one in the manual only lists two sets of parameters and it's only for the low-drag bombs, there's no mention of low level bombing with snakeyes or release profiles for CBUs anywhere in so far as I can see.

What's alpha with relation to a plane anyway

All I know is that the A320 and such have an alpha-floor thing... which is something, and that it's probably related to the angle of attack.

>>160175348
It is, in fact, angle of attack.

>>160175503

Love of jargon is at the core of aviation. Makes it easier for us to make people think pilots are smart.

>>160175681
Yeah but angle-of-attack is already jargon.

I like to imagine it as meta-jargon to confuse people like me, personally. A form of pilot elitism against people with patchy knowledge.

They do? Good to know. What's the rate?

>>160174936

It has alpha as a symbol in equations so that probably just stuck with people over AoA. But also >>160175681 Aviation has a fetish for abbreviations et al.

>>160175765
Oh yeah meta jargon is a big part of it. It's why airlines often refer to pilots as "tech crew" now. You've got to go to next level jargon to establish your dominance.

It's a wank, really. But I couldn't say it in public.

It's more about the cursor totally disappearing and there being nothing you can do to get it back other than disconnecting.

Not just cockpit cursor, the mouse in general, so you can click anything at all.

I'd say its game breaking.

>>160179139
I run in borderless, and i get the opposite issue, if i alt tab at all, or sometimes even if i don't the windows mouse comes up, and just stays there.

>>160179241

Anyone here botheting with VATSIM or similar? Is it worth the trouble to practice radioing with it?

>>160179291
>How something like this gets by a week of testing...

Because no one cares about open beta anymore anon, because ED was completely unresponsive when people were reporting bugs, and they still didn't fix them, not to mention their bug reporting system is based on luck whether something is seen or not, and the forum doesn't have proper bug posting guidelines, and their incessant
>PLS POST TRAK
When it's something they could just turn the game on for and see it fucking doesn't work, made people give up on it.

Also no even when i die the cursor wont disappear.
I think if you die tab out click something tab back in it comes back, but only in borderless.

IIRC it's one of the better ways to endure more G's. It's why the successor to the Stuka was designed to have the pilot laying prone.

Bottom right corner, "SHPEM". Should say SHLEM but close enough.

Also 6 R73s lol.

Also F-15 is in A/G mode (??????)

But yeah I'm surprised they went through the effort to make both cockpits pretty accurate. Little effort goes a long way.

I wonder how they got the info. This movie came out in 97, so I'm impressed the MiG is that close to being accurate.

>>160187320
I don't know about A/G mode, but this is the radar scope I was talking about on the F15's.

The decision to Fox3 into what is essentially a merge with a giant "please shoot me" air force one is a little questionable, but I think if you fire Amraams in STT mode, they don't pick a target randomly, because they never go "hot" like they would in TWS mode (pic again, no TWS indicator).

>>160187320
Also it's funny you noticed the R73's, because the Air Force One correctly dumps flares as response. I'm really impressed, considering the planes have like zero focus in that movie.

MiG-23 is not out of the question. It's probably the most likely Russian fighter to be added.

DCS could be a lit as fuck full fidelity 3rd gen combat sim.

>Imaging blue flag with no FC3 planes other than Su25A and A-10A

>>160189317

seriously why the fuck doesn't DCS have an SA-2 that's the single-most produced and combat-used SAM system in history

Instead the earliest we have is an SA-3 which, IIRC, was only used to shoot down a spy plane once and only deployed in and around Moscow.

>>160190976
My honest opinion on it is that the SAM AI is so shit that with the increased range, the SA2 would plain refuse to work correctly.

>>160187320

It doesn't even say SHPEM, it says WPEM

>>160191926
What?

I mean sure the AI is terrible and ed just refuses to add a simple script to the game to turn their radars on and off depending on the range of the target, and sams usually shoot way too early, but what you wrote makes no sense.

The Arado E.381 (Kleinstjäger – "smallest fighter") was a proposed parasite fighter aircraft. Conceived by Arado Flugzeugwerke in December 1944 for Germany's Luftwaffe during World War II, the E.381 was to have been carried aloft by and launched from an Arado Ar 234 "mother" aircraft. It would then have activated its rocket engine, which would have propelled it to attack Allied (mainly American and British) bombers. Development was cancelled due to lack of funds and official support.[1][3][4]

I get the impression the track files are simply a recording of all your control inputs and key presses, along with initial mission setup. When you play the track the game merely runs the mission, repeating the recorded control inputs - track files tend to break when on different versions of dcs when the AI behaves slightly differently.

>>160203098
Yes that's exactly what they are, but the DCS physics engine isn't perfectly determinate like a shooter or strategy game usually is so the whole thing falls apart very easily as tiny imperfections in results add up quickly.

i'll probably download it anyway, but whether i install it this year or not is an entirely different question, because every attempt I've made to play LOMAC (without FC) has been a nightmare of things not working.

i already have BMS, but my recollection is that DCS tracks back to Flanker 2.5 (yay!) via LOMAC.

MiG-29A ops comf af.

>>160229429
It's okay, but not great. What hurt it the most was the radar becoming useless when you're below ~3km which makes locking up targets to fire R-3Rs at very awkward.

On F-5 vs MiG-21 servers it's almost impossible to use because most F-5s will fly on the deck (and they should). On those servers I typically just take 4 R-60Ms and nothing else.

>>160193932
You're doubting the AI is incapable of operating a long range SAM with shit like the missiles of the other SAMs literally exploding mid air if they lose lock on you for even a micro second. It's so laughably easy to avoid SAMs in DCS they may as well not even be there.

>>160229985

Huh, neat. That borne in mind, in the F-5 v. MiG-21 matchup, which is the better aircraft? When the F-5 dropped I thought the Fishbed would have the upper hand, what with having SARHs on top of good heaters. How wrong was I?

>>160230203
What makes the F5 vs Mig21 matchup so great is that they're two planes designed with completely different principles and doctrines in mind. There is no "better" in this case because for starters, the strengths of both planes lie in completely different fields. I don't buy into this "what if both pilots flew perfectly" business, because this literally never happens. Neither in real life nor in a simulator.

It's propably the most perfect matchup in DCS as of now (the Mig15 vs Sabre matchup is ALMOST equally as good, but the planes are more similar and less capable, compared to the F5 vs Mig21, thus making it a bit less interesting) and in the forseeable future.

Do you rather replicate the real plane hotas layout or do you just go with some generic layout for all planes?

>tfw none of the people i talk to regularly give a shit about flight sims or anything of the like

the closest thing I have is a couple of guys who fly shit thunder but they're faggots who buy into the whole "lol just shoot a missile" thing about modern air combat

>>160230203
You weren't that wrong back when the radar worked at low altitude, but even on a good day and when it actually worked it still was short ranged and finicky, and once you entered a furball the only way to get lock was to use beam mode on a target that's against the sky. The R-3R is a good tool to have at your disposal, but I still prefer R-60s because you can get silent kills with them.

If you ask me, I think the MiG-21 has a very marginal advantage over the F-5, if only because it's so much faster in a straight line. However 9 times out of 10, it really comes down to the pilot. They are designed for completely different things and fight in completely different ways, so the pilot that can best fly their plane to their advantages while at the same time exploiting the other's weaknesses will win.

>>160230653
When I get a new plane, I first start by mapping as close to the real stick as possible. Usually there's a good reason that the things that are on the real stick/throttle are on the stick/throttle so you'll want them there. Over time I make tweaks based on preference and what I feel would be easier to use.

>>160247508
You have to fly at a high enough altitude to use the shkvhalala, but because of the speeds the Su-25 travels at, you have very little time to find, lase and destroy targets.

This is why the slow speed of the A-10, or hover speeds of attack helos, is what makes them so much more efficient at CAS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Tolkachev

And we still don't have information on the R-27.

The thing is the su-25 is more of a strike aircraft than a CAS one.

>>160257125
That's true for the A model.

The T model when using lased missiles that have to be homed into the target is an entirely different story, and I dont blame the Russians for not trying to widen production on the newer Su25s, even if they had the money it's not worth it.

>>160257358
No it's the same story, the shkval isn't really adequate for finding targets on your own, unless you know the exact area where they'll be.

That's why the shkval was never added to the su-25SMs

The thing with the SU-25T as a CAS plane is that the combination of the speed in which you fly at plus the scan angle of the sensor don't work so well together. The 25T is more fitted as an attack aircraft. You get in knowing what and where is the shit you'll hit, you hit it and then fuck off.

The first step in getting gud with the 25T I'd say is to understand that if compared to the 25A, both your munitions and aircraft have a fuckton more drag and less maneuverability. So you must pick very mission specific loadouts. No flying with 2 TV guided missiles + vikhrs + mercury pod or something like in your picture. You'll have the aerodynamics of a brick. If you pick vikhrs in your loadout for example, try to keep everything else as small as possible. You already have a lot of munitions to expend so you don't need to bring FAB-500s depending on your mission, 250s or 100s will do.

The second step is assessing your targets and getting good at spotting shit with your eyeballs. The problem with the shkval is that it doesn't work very well as a recon sensor, unlike the A-10C TGP for example, because of the limited forward looking angle it has. So with the shkval you'd most of the time scan for shit and then turn, lock it on the shkval and pop a bomb or missile on it's ass.

Everything else, I'd say, comes from practicing these two principles. Spend your shit wisely, you can loiter around a LOT if you don't leave the throttle at 100% all the time. Also the included campaigns for the 25T are just random masochistic missions played in a non specific order and the victory depends on how you do on 50 or so missions.

About the AA, not really besides the SEAD pod or the RWR or doing short false runs with the shkval to try to spot something.

I hope I could help.

Why does this happen in Flaming Cliffs 2?

It only happens when I zoom close up, and when I'm near an object. It stands out most on the carrier but I think when I flew too close to another plane I got similar effects.

Rear facing radars are such a cool concept. That reminds me why aren't radar pods a thing when targeting, and jamming pods are? I'm sure there's a good reason, just seems like it would useful, especially since they could be installed forward or backwards.

>>160285606
Probably too expensive/heavy to do it

>>160285606
My guess would be the integration work required to hook it into a plane's avionics. A jamming and targeting pod is a fairly self sufficient piece of hardware that doesn't need that much info passed between the plane and pod.

>>160285606
Something else to think about is that a forward facing radar pod would be pretty useless. Radar isn't additive. Two small radars don't have the same detection power as one big radar. Things get weird when you start talking about AESAs though. Those are magic.

Admittedly a rear facing radar pod is a pretty cool idea, but you run into the problems I mentioned >>160286512 where integrating it into the planes avionics are complicated. A radar pod would likely be its own separate sensor, similar to the HTS on the F-16. It certainly works, but it doesn't integrate nicely into the plane's workflow, and you have to keep an eye on two radar screens to try and use it in tandem with another sensor or display.

But that's all just my educated guesses based on what I've seen of aircraft system. I'm sure with enough money you could do anything, but the bean counters have likely done the cost benefit analysis and found it's not worth the effort.

>>160285606
My guess would be size is an issue, though I don't know much about radars.

I remember the F-20 nose (i.e. the one from the F-5) being too small to hold a proper BVR radar or something, which limited it. Unless modern technology is such that a truly BVR F-20 is possible, in which case I really really want one. Anyway back to the point: A reasonably aerodynamic pod would place size constraints on the radar, which in turn might limit it's utility.

>>160287545
It is possible with AESA memes, since an AESA radar is made up of many tiny radars that can be fitted pretty much anywhere on the plane.

yes it's still a flanker and can do a2a, limiting factor is the radar which is designed for a2g

don't understand why slavs didn't just use su-30s which are already 2 seater multi roles instead of making this platypus abomination

what is there even to do in the mi-8 though? like, the UH-1 can be used for flying vietnam aesthetic stuff, the ka-50 and the memezel can plink tanks reasonably well, but the mi-8's just kind of flying rocket artillery that gets fucked up by anything with an automatic weapon

It's kinda like a big huey minus the door gunners with more munitions. Although we're going to get the door gunners soon I can feel it. It's pretty comfy to fly in blueflag and such. Feels extremely nice to fly as well. It can fit in a lot of scenarios considering it's the most mass produced helicopter in the world.

Would you like to know more about the F-5E-3 Freedom Fighter™ and its T.A.C.A.N™ technology capability? Are you a dirtpoor 3rd world country and want your very own F-5E-3 (because no one else would buy a fighter so bare even USA who invented it uses it for no more than training lmao)? You too can experience the liberating experience of the F-5E-3 Freedom Fighter™. Contact your closest CIA agent for acceptance as a Free World™ client state.

It is sure that the West™ has the unquestionable superiority when it comes to the high end fighter aircraft but why would that mean those smug slavaboos must dominate the low end with their oppressive meme tubular junk? We at Northrop and Belsimtek thought the same and created the cost effective price-performance meme machine targeting the low end. All this for the cost effective price-performance price of 59$. But wait it's now %20 off. Oh wait, too late for that, never mind. Wait it's actually still up wut?

F dash five E dash it's a light fighter not trainer motherfucking three son. The right hand of the Free World™.
