Fixed it. No idea why it keeps happening and only in this topic, this time though it’s actually let me use the spoiler tag without doing that to all the pictures.

The more I see real LERX effects, the more it gets obvious how lackluster and half-heartedly they were implemented in WT…

I feel the same way but also with the afterburners too. It looks like Gaijin used MSFS 2020 as their reference for it.

It would be funny if it wouldn’t be so sad if you know what is possible with current shaders (their language and implementation).
Yep, if people managed to do it through WT Live and userskins for ages before Gaijin changed them then certainly they can give the Typhoons an afterburner texture that doesn’t look like crap.

You’d think that with a Typhoon screaming across the bay that birds wouldn’t be flying right next to it but no.
Also didn’t deter the seagulls on the beach too if anything it made them more vicious.

And not only that…GJ is stubbornly refusing to limit the plane’s speed with ordnance that impose flight limits, in spite of being reported and warned.
Video not working?
(maybe just locked in my region)
to paraphrase the segment, paveway IVs arent designed to be carried supersonically so the Typhoon can’t go at mach speeds/high altitude with them fitted
But i thought paveway 4s hole thing in game was the ability to drop them above mach unlike other bombs?
They do drop above mach 1. But I cannot for the life of me see why, doesn’t seem to incorporate separation mechanisms. I am very sleepy though, so I may be overlooking something.
i think thats what GJ is complaining about, an RAF representative is saying outright that paveway ivs cant go supersonic (and similar reports have been made) but in-game they’re capable of it
The thing is, if hes asking for planes to have limits on speed due to ordinance that would be considered a suggestion as no other plane in game has that. Although, if it hes asking for mach 1.0 limits for dropping them then sure but he would have to ask someone who knows alot more about it.
+1,
and it was presented as an undeniable fact.
As it turns out, you need to count your fingers after shaking hands with GJ…
The manufacturer explicitly states that P2E standard Typhoons were to be cleared for supersonic use of Paveway IV

Tbf to GJ04, “to be cleared for supersonic use” implies it was a future goal with nothing stating it had been accomplished. Further, the aircraft interview was conducted in 2025 which is presumably after the publications of the materials you guys submitted.

Keywords…“were TO BE”
In 2025 it still wasn’t.
Operational limits precede any other limits, in WT.
Tbf though, it is very likely that if the Eurofighter had this limit then many other planes also have this limit, wouldn’t be fair for only the Eurofighter to have this limitation just because there was documentation regarding it.
