I did a mission in the Su-25T. It has been a long time since I've flown it and I'm rusty.
On top of that it now has a 6DOF cockpit that isn't as easy to use as the previous one. It have also tanked the game performance it seems.

My AI wingmen did all the work and then I landed.

The training pages for the Su25T is a mix between videos and actual mission. The missions are actually decent, and I learned the plane(before the latest patch) using these.
The description is very vague regarding if it's a video or not, but I think videos are described as "missions" and interactive mission describes as "lessons" or some such thing.

Before the 6DOF cockpit was patched in the Su-25T cockpit was very easy to read, because the flat texture was up 'in your face' in a way.

The HUD also not always centered now because it actually moves with your head/view.

Also how come my Vikhr's auto lock on to targets sometimes, then other times won't?

The TV system locks on to stuff that is 1. close enough 2. has the correct size(you input this, default is 10).

Ralt+[ / ] and Rctrl+] / [ changes this in steps of 10 and 1 respectively.

So is there a trick to adding Flaming Cliffs 3 from their web site to Steam? Apparently I have to wait a few days for them to add a key to the Steam database or something?

That is my understanding. You have to wait for them to add your key to the steam database.

The Su-27 campaign seem to be broken. There is this one mission that cannot be completed(the third one I think). Because of this, I looked on the internet for single missions. I didn't look very hard but I only found this one mission that seemed up-to-date.

The mission was to escort a Tu-22M bomber, in a Flanker. The bomber was supposed to bomb some Georgian and I ran into some Turks flying F-4s and F-16s.
This is my first try at the mission, which I recorded from takeoff to landing, including taxing. I edited out the boring parts of the 51 min long full mission to this video.

I think it is unlikely that they will have sales lower than 60% off since that is the lowest they've sold thing for in the past few sales.

Other DLCs are also 60% off, including Flaming Cliffs, Combined Arms and Black Shark.

When the RB15 gets close enough for the CIWS to start firing it randomly dodges to the left or right.
When they dodges different directions, the corvette I was practicing against had no chance of hitting both of them. When they dodged the same direction they both got shot down one time, and a second time they both hit the target despite that.

It's been weeks and I haven't seen anyone mention this obvious and easy method of on the fly calculations of QFE for the Viggen.

DCS is and always has been fun to play if online death matches are your jam. Once you start demanding more than that it rapidly falls short, but it's not like any modern games/sims do better.

Again, I worry that this is just going to turn into "the three best pilots load up with Mavericks and SPAMRAAMs and kill everything in the first 15 minutes while the newbies are still trying to get to the target site because they left their airbrakes on" or something. Rules and restrictions make games better, not worse; give people like two planes to choose from and keep everyone roughly on the same level.

I personally liked your original idea of having a red-vs-blue Su-25 IR missile / gun pod furball.

Best stick these best pilots in Su-25Ts, which can only kill 22 tanks in a single fly out.

God forbid anyone have fun in a less capable ground attacker.

You need to lower prop pitch/rpm so you can increase throttle and still be in continuous mode.


Engine modes:
Nominal (unlimited time): 2250 RPM, 1.15 ata
Climb power (up to 30 minutes): 2400 RPM, 1.25 ata
Take-off power (up to 1 minute): 2600 RPM, 1.42 ata

The MiG-23UB is a two-seater training variant of the first gen 23. It comes with a downgraded weapon system, on par with the MiG-21.

Razbam is working on the penultimate fighter variant, the MiG-23MLA. This carries the R-24 BVR missile(range 50km says wikipedia) and no ground attack options beyond the 21s capabilities. Built between 78 and 82.

The MLA has the same garbo RWR as the 21.

Apparently several different MLAs has MLD features without having the full upgrade package. So I guess it's not out of the question that the plane could have; SPO-15L RWR, R-73, countermeasures, in any combination. Even export version MLAs had some of these.
