Sukhoi Su-27/30/33/35/37 Flanker series & Su-34 Fullback - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 1)

you can do it, just press stabilisation and track ground target mannualy

Let me explain:
I have the scope stabilization set to F and the reset to H

When I’m in the scope, if I press F when my scope is not on a radar capture target, the scope will shift to the captured target.

If I press F when the scope is looking at the captured target, I gain control of the scope.

At the same time, as I see, I can press F while pointing at another target and the sight will follow it (but the indication frame will not appear, which is probably a bug).

At the same time, if you have the stabilization point set, the radar will not move the sight itself when it catches a new target

If I’m 3-person, pressing F doesn’t move the stabilization point to the radar capture (I find this very convenient), but pressing H resets the aiming point and immediately puts it on the radar-captured target.

This way you can do whatever you want to do

I am actually pressing sight stabilization in the videos I posted, but it keeps resetting to the locked target on TWS

It seems like to me, that while on TWS slaving, this is what normally is supposed to happen when you press the sight stabilization key:
1a. Sight stabilization to ground
1b. Target track direct lock
2b. Target track lock with movement (this mode will limit how far you are able to move the gimbal to the original target, while tracking said target)
3. Unlock (3b. if TWS is on, this will force the TGP to default to the TWS lock)
Passive feature: The TGP will “remember” the last known location you 1a., or if you were in 1b. or 2b., it will default to the last remembered location

But the issue right now seems to be:
If do #1, then lose gimbal, then it starts acting in weird ways where I am unable to break free from #2b and #3b

The core issue being with sight stabilization is that I am unable to cycle between the three, or it will automatically go to #3b, hence why the TWS mode seems overly aggressive. But like I said, being able to unlink your TGP from TWS would alleviate this issue entirely.

Do you see in my video that I can track a different target?

Su-30 still has no HUD Markers as of new 2.44.0.39. Also IFR Bar is still there

That’s only because you’re in mode #2b (Target track lock with movement (this mode will limit how far you are able to move the gimbal to the original target, while tracking said target) which becomes a major issue if your TGP decides to lock a plane much further away

In your video, the capture works freely as long as you don’t go outside the angles of the Shkval (veer heavily to the side).

I can suggest to the developers to make it so that the TGP capture does not reset when the radar is on if you go outside the TGP angles

Yes, that was the issue I was addressing and I personally think it’d be nice if the targeting didn’t reset to the TWS outside of the shkval (or whatever TGP) angle, or it was much less forceful.

As CAS, you do pull a lot of evasive maneuvers that forces you to lose track lock, so I was a bit shocked when I found out that your lock doesn’t stay in place because it prioritizes slaving to the TWS radar.

But again, you and other users have made it clear that it was a feature that was already present in the live game so it is what it is until the devs decide to change or refine it.

I think it should work that way, since without radar lock your stabilization doesn’t reset when you turn away from the target

I’ll report on this, as well as a couple of interface flaws in this mode that I’ve noticed (no square around the target accompanied by TGP while you have a radar lock)

Hey guys good news, the datalink channels of the radar went from 4 to 8 :D

You should have just watched the video and then you would have seen the su30 climbing while having no speed and it’s nose pointed up

… It is almost like I posted that video for a reason

From what i have read they have advance a lot in GaAs and GaN. But even Byelka need a upgrade to GaN. By StealthFlanker calculations Byelka its as powerful as IRBIS (not a bad thing). But its a 13yo radar/tech. They are also researching ROFAR radars. But there is almost 0 new info on that.

Dunno how feel about this. With Su-30sm not been the best climber or R-77 state.

@unluckyg another one for the list ^^

Basic math. You take the thrust and divide it by the mass of the plane. Boom. Thrust to weight ratio.

it seems your understanding of physics is too poor to be making such claims from just a video

The enlighten me all knowing physics professor how does the su-30 climb there if not for a twr of 1

How does it generate lift at zero airspeed oh great professor

And ontop of that more lift while drag

the aircraft is clearly not at complete zero airspeed
the Su-30SM received no engine upgrade while being heavier than the base Su-27 model, a plane that doesn’t achieve a 1:1 TWR on full fuel loads in the first place
you trying to use this video to prove an even heavier aircraft that generates the same thrust should somehow have a higher TWR just makes you appear an imbecile
