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?

Saw this Hanks/Spielberg film the other day based on the incident including Francis Gary Powers shootdown in 1960..........not bad if you have an interest in the Cold War.

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?

I was getting at this...............when putting mods into the Mod folder do not put in old copies of options.ini and version.ini You can cut out the entire mod folder and paste it safe somewhere. than run the game again and it will create new mod folders and the 2 files I mentioned. Then put in your mods making sure not to write over the them.

Was the game reinstalled? Did you put your old mods back with the old option.ini and version.ini files? - that often causes problems

Another with Su-30SMs
