Not sure............something tells me I had to record the sound files again at a lower sound level.

Have had quick scan through the 2007 Su-27 book.......seems to be mostly ET/ER and R-77. Noticed some photos of dummy missiles with pointy heads in there but no text ref telling me what they are!. It is not uncommon for people to be sure something will come into service and then it gets cancelled so that could be why it was in older books. If ED state it never went into production ( Russian based company who work in the defence Industry) then it's not looking good at the moment.

In the MiG-29 (2006) book he doesn't list it as a carried weapon but provides a random picture at the end. If the EA had a pointy nose like that.........the ones shown on RT would likely be R type.

Okay thanks so 2004......I will see if he mentions anything in the later MiG-29 and Su-27 etc books.

I have a lot of them........can you tell me the title please? and no thank you........it's a published book so it would violate copyright (I guess the above might be considered advertising) All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical or photo-copied, recorded or otherwise, without the written permission of the publishers.

Have done okay with CH

Agat clearly developed some kind of seeker. What year is that book? is it Yefim?

btw dtm I am assuming you are aware that the IR versions of the R-27 would of course be "Fire and Forget" ?

Is that definitive?..............I thought this was a good source http://www.designation-systems.net/non-us/soviet.html#_Listings_AA Yes I know.........my point was the journalists over here are certainly not experts and often state things that are incorrect.......not that they would know either way...that is why some kind of evidence would be useful.

Okay so appears to be a massive thread on why it was removed from DCS: Incorrect. The AE was removed not because of user request but because the team knows that the missile has never entered Ru service and it was unrealistic to include it. As simple as that. -Matt http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=19815&page=4

Which one is it? .............. every document I look at has a different Alamo designation for the R-27EA:

Western journalists often talk complete bollocks when they are describing NATO jets so perhaps not compelling evidence.................... A photo of the missile with serial no and R-27AE printed in Russian on it like you may find on Western jets perhaps?..otherwise can anyone tell the difference in missile head shape?.... Okay so R-77s exported but none on active RuAF fighters in a combat zone?..........yet seems these never went into service either?

Could be down to old ini or other files in those Terrains There care no old cat files or anything like that are there? If you are running the latest patch you may need to extract newer ini files and make changes to them if that is what is causing it.

Are you new to this - do you know where the location for Mod folders are in SF2? (you have to create some of them) http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/ Or see #1 here http://combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-%E2%80%93-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/

Only happens on Desert 3 and 4 yes? Could be something it needs is missing.........as in the ini files are trying to reference something not in your install. Are you running fully merged?

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2487387#post2487387 Dear all, What follows is a preliminary changelog of DCS World 1.5. Because 1.5 is being built from a new branch of our code, we cannot account for changes made in earlier branches. As such, we had to create much of this changelog based on memory and older bug tracking reports. Because of this and that we will probably be adding or modifying items, this changelog is very preliminary and subject to change during the Open Beta period. Also please note that we are still awaiting changelog items for most of the BST modules. As items are added or modified, they will be highlighted in red. As for the status of releasing the 1.5 Open Beta, we have good news: we created the 1.5 branch (release version) today. Just as soon as we complete smoke testing, we will release it. Sincerely, The Eagle Dynamics Team DCS World 1.5.0 Changelog General New unified executable. Separate executables are no longer used for the front end and simulation. New graphics engine with the following features: DirectX 11 Support, optimized for GPU rather than CPU, improved lighting and shadowing, and improved graphical effects like contrails, flares and missile trail smoke, improved water Improved VR support with Direct Display mode and VR front end GUI, but still very much work-in-progress until hardware reaches consumer release versions Corrected track synchronization errors Note: Once DCS World 1.5 is out of Open Beta, we will update the DCS World User Manual to reflect all of the following changes Main Menu Moved Options to icon at top of Main Menu. Moved Module Manager to icon at top of Main Menu Created Log-in / Log-out dialog at top of Main Menu New Login dialog with the possibility to stay logged in Options Changed System / Graphics “Scenes” to “Terrain Textures”.

USAF Aggressors are a special country that have all aircraft, helicopters, ships, and vehicles accessible to them. Added Fire at point task now has a quantity value allowing users to define the number of shots fired at the target. Changed All text boxes (Mission briefings, do script, etc) character limit has been increased to approx 16,000 characters. Adding aircraft to a group set to spawn on ramp now places the new aircraft at the closest available spot to the lead aircraft. Changed Triggered messages to now "stack" below currently displayed messages no longer over-writing a message that is currently being displayed. Added "Clearview" variable to triggered messages to use the old method of displaying messages. Added MANPAD units can now be transported via embarking actions like other infantry. (Side note currently you can't add them to a group with an existing embarking task, you have to create the group as you want it THEN create the embarking task if it contains a MANPAD) Fixed Bombs not producing a "shot" event. Unit.getPlayerName() is now functional on ground units and will return a player’s name if they are directly controlling the unit via Combined Arms. Many new countries have been added. These countries are not yet populated with units, although they have access to all static object and fortifications objects available, along with aircraft that are DCS modules. These countries include: Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, China, Croatia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, and USAF Aggressors.

AI using cranks after BVR shots to extend F and A poles Improved AI weapon system logic. AIs will more accurately estimate AAM percentage chance of kill (Pk). This is intended to prevent situations where missiles bled energy pursuing targets with low Pk. Improved AI logic of follow-on missile (AIM-120B/C, R-27 series, AIM-7, AIM-54 and R-33) shot if it determines the prior shot has been trashed Added antiship task to Su-17, Su-25 and MiG-27 4 v 2 ACM tactics have been improved.

In the early morning hours on July 4th, 1986, 21-year-old Lance Corporal Howard A. Foote Jr. climbed a ladder leading into the cockpit of an A-4M Skyhawk. He started the jet up, taxied to one of Marine Corps Air Station El Toro’s runways—which was unlit at the time—and pushed the throttles forward. Moments later, the Lance Corporal would realize his dream to fly a tactical military jet, albeit just once and illegally. Foote flew out toward San Clemente Island, executing loops, rolls and high-speed maneuvers before turning back to MCAS El Toro after about 45 minutes to attempt a landing. This time, the runways were all very well lit and the base was buzzing with activity due to his “borrowing” of the jet. After several landing attempts, the Skyhawk maintainer put the A-4M down safely and was quickly detained after exiting the cockpit. There was little doubt that the whole stunt was extremely dangerous, but it was also an amazing accomplishment although Foote was no novice to flying. He was an accomplished glider pilot who set world records at a very young age. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-tale-of-when-a-marine-mechanic-stole-an-a-4-skyhawk-1745015819

Does it happen on all aircraft? Make a copy your "Effects" folder and put it somewhere safe then remove all the files in "Effects" from the game.....and run...............does it still happen?

Got a cheap (relatively) new Windows 10 tablet yesterday (32GB SSD & Intel Atom) to replace my old iPad and have all my flight sim manuals and checklists on. You can transfer stuff to its c drive via USB memory stick or using One Drive that auto saves it locally. Pretty good for the price (Made by Viglen) and my first real experience of using Win 10 in tablet mode. http://www.tesco.com/direct/windows-connect-10-tablet-intel-atom-1gb-ram-32gb-black/630-1078.prd
