Hi Ralfidude, It is very old and conceptual issue of all modern jet flight sims with AAMs. The flight of the AAM is calculated by the host of launched weapon. The missile’s position is transferring to the server and to all other clients on the server. This also includes client aircraft positions.

Due to the fact that data packets arrive at different speeds on the network (not just DCS), based on the ping, the positions of aircraft and AAM can, at times, vary slightly between clients. For example: for an AAM that has speed about 900 m/s, and a ping is 0.1 second, then the difference in position of the AAM for clients can be 90 meters.

Because of this, the calculation of the hit is always conducted on the “weapon owner” client. Only he/she has a “true” and precise position of the weapon.

If you were to see the track of the client that fired the AAM, you’d see that the AAM in fact passed outside fuze range.

Its an issue when you can read the serial code of their missile

[BraindeadCRY]

Read the serial number on the missile and send a thank you letter to the production facility

I like that everyone was pretty humble with the new guy and not jumping on him like: “you’re an idiot! Blah blah”
Seems very inclusive despite different levels of experience.

[Hairysteed]

That was so close that you could've just opened the canopy, grabbed the missile and put it on your hardpoint! #cartoonlogic

[schwaulen]

It's pretty awesome someone without much of a clue is going online and everyone is cool with it and supportive. Great community.

[xmlthegreat]

HAHA! That missile at the end! You probably don't need grooming for weeks, it was that close a shave!

[Remixception]

The way that everyone was treating the new guy on GCI was really cool. Good on everyone for not giving him shit for being a newbie.

[reillybrangan]

Ah... Ralfi content really tickles my gooch

[moody_goose]

Epic missile dodge. Also, thanks for your past videos on hotas selection. I have my Warthog arriving today!

[VRJosh]

Would be fun to play as a GCI and pretend to know absolutely NOTHING about fighters, or what aircraft are for that matter.

"Preparing for takeoff" "What's takeoff mean? ... HOLY SHIT! Your metal bird thingy just went up into the sky! How'd you do that???"

[quatro_quatro]

That RADAR-Warning sounds like the intro to "Baba O'Riley" :D

[jacobanderson]

Lol, the drunk at the end??? That so caught me by surprise! I haven't stopped laughing.

[jon]

That trailer park boys reference was great.

[weltensegLA]

Nice example for how its not a problem at all when someone doesn’t know shit but is honest about it. Good clip.

Sweet God...that was an eye opener.

Proximity Fuse, my ass.

[ryan]

Missile is checking in to see if you're paying attention

[skinnyflea]

I love your introduction so much. The sound is great

[schmidtstorm]

What do YOU mean, "what do you mean by splash"

[pabloottawa]

Simply put, a proximity fuse is a fuse that detonates the explosive package when the missile is within a given range of the target. If a sidewinder misses near, it will detonate to attempt damage. Most missiles carry a PF
