I usualy fly helos in Arma 3 rather than DCS, I'm pure fixed-wing in DCS.

True, that's the time it gets annoying to me, other than that it keeps me focused on maneuvering as opposed to looking around and saving seconds in the fight.

Yeah I thnk did the same (had a beta and it did have a UFO-like behavior. Now? It's I guess on point compared to it before so no complaints there. And even then the 9X still wouldn't have made that intercept (but it somehow did) and I've still missed with modern AAMs... I just don't get into that train of thought and rather use skill to get a better envelope for it to work. @Saisran no worries. I'd suggest using the padlock function (I don't use TrackIR) like I do and when Red Crown calls the bogies you press R which "locks on" the called out flight and then use the Padlock View Toggle (I forgot the original key bind as I mapped it to my stick) in the View Commands section of the Controls mapping. Or press T and it'll do the same but it takes some getting used to (and still annoys me in some ways) but overall when you're firing weapons that self-guide then all you have to worrry is getting the seeker on target or switch guns, etc. And watching the video it saves a lot of guesswork when it keeps tracking until you disable it. But good video nonetheless, guess I need to try the Tomcat more...

You should try the Rafale, that'll give you a workout for sure, and quite honestly would like to see how it handles against the F-14.

So far I've noticed that the Rafale takes advantage of the HOBS missiles more than any so far, most others seem to just use "normal" settings when those missiles are available. But then again I tend to also play it safe. Me: F/A-18F EPE with 4 x AIM-9X, 6 x AIM-120D, gun, centerline tank Opposition: F-16CM with 2 x AIM-9 L or Ms, 2 x AIM-120C, gun, centerline tank. Did on a whim a DACT against a single Viper: At the end I didn't think the 9X would connect (thankfully it did...) but otherwise a good example of the Viper pushing you to your near limits and drawing out an engagement bu in retrospect playing with it was a bit of an experience as well. And nice videos saisran.

Same with the Super Hornet, I remember doing a few DACTs loaded down (this was before the EPE adjustments) and yeah.... there was some resistance naturally but overall I still managed to push the jet quite hard and still win in the majority of fights.

I've noticed that with the Super Hornet at full fuel plus a tank, doesn't seem to matter too much in the long run how much load I do have, the engines seem to compensate for it.

BTW took a look at least the first video saisran, and.... if he's moving around too much then be patient as your first shot missed due to poor geometry, i.e. it was a poor off-boresight shot, something you should do with 9Xs as anything prior to L or M 'winders (don't know the equivalent) missiles, or "Shoot HUD", meaning get him within your HUD and if he's not moving, shoot him. Much like your second shot where it worked. Sure fring a missile can work him into position and maybe your intent which is fine, but usually with the more maneuverable opponents. And yeah it gets trustrating but you should also go vertical, come over the top (hopefully he won't reverse on you like a Rafale) and then he'll "mellow out" a bit and you can bag him quicker. And be patient :)

Nice DACTs so far.... that's for sure. I'm jonsing to reverse with the Rafale versus the Super Hornet smoetime, maybe within a couple days or so.

Nope, totally different engines.

Given it was made eleven years ago or so, I"d suggest getting Lock On, Modern Air Combat and manually looking at the file structure and adding it hat way, or find Loman and install it that way, as it suggests. I would NOT install this in DCS.

And finally got stuff working so updating the HMLA-167 Ka-50 with textures courtesy of Home Fries: Also removed was the Ace of Spades (which was HMLA-267 and not a Divisional ID, which then again I assume -267 was under)

Ahh gotcha, I may put it on the A-10A/C though....

Lol I think the Su-25T is a pretty good plane man, but gotcha

No screenshot but a small track of some practice and then accidentally hitting the Autostop sequence when RTBing... DCS 1.2.16 Autostop.7z

Have to say it is a beautiful sim...

That's some beautiful shit there, nice work!

Looks good!

Looking good!

File Name: [Fictional] Su-25T Ferris Scheme File Submitter: EricJ File Submitted: 15 May 2015 File Category: SU-25T Skins Su-25T “Ferris Scheme 4” This is a completely fictional scheme that uses the same FT markings from my previous European 1 scheme. It’s loosely based off an F-15C scheme that was developed by Heather Ferris during the 1980s when researching various schemes to confuse enemy opponents for future camouflage use.

And a cheap false canopy: After this and some tweaks I'll upload it.

Dunno, i"ve launched quite a few Mavs and CBUs and I'm kllin left and right so... And this is while I'm piloting too so I don't think it's just AI modeling, I mean the screenies I posted in the screenshot thread was the worst I had suffered, so it's not like you don't get scratched and suffer, but yeah... it's a trend I've noticed in games like Battlefield and the like, the enemy stuff is so good while the BLUFOR stuff is shit sometimes, unless you mod it (Arma 3).

Current progress, having internets issues:

The most I've survived was the A-10 and the Su-25T though... I've gotten rocked hard by AAA and still managed to fly home... the Su-25T is a tough bird...
