is it free to play with F-5E in DCS??

Its 60 dollars, but you should never buy anything unless there is a sale going on, during the sales, everything is 50% off except for anything that is new.

Nope. Only the Su-25T and TF-51D are free. I've heard the F-5 is very good though.

The F-5 has an excellent flight module, it's one of my favourites. It's very easy to learn but you have low SA so you should keep ur eyes open. The RWR hasn't been moduled correctly but there is a mod that fixes that. And you should learn how to bomb targets using charts and fixing ur speed, altitude, dive angle and some other stuff.

DCS pilots do this all the time - I guess it looks cool. Invariably when I go full AB in the Flanker or the Eagle, it always starts rolling forward despite the brakes.

In real life, if throttle is greater than %70 mil power and brakes are holding, two things could happens...If the jet starts moving forward, which it will, either the tires are turning, or the tires are slipping.

If the tires are turning, that means the brakes are dragging, and given the power that they are resisting, the hot brakes condition rises rapidly.

If the tires are slipping, that means the brakes are holding the tires, but the engine thrust overrides the tires' grip on the runway.

Either case, it is dangerous. Hot brakes can literally explode as the red zones illustrates above. And note the firefighters' approach to the gear, either front or rear, never from the sides.

@gambit

You would go on full AB once you are rolling to shorten necessary runway or allow start at all.

Breaks will have no problem holding the static tires they would start to slip is someone is stupid enough to hold the breaks on full AB...

The Kowsar hunter equipped with new advanced equipment (General Vahedi)

According to the deputy commander of the Iranian Air Force, the capabilities of the modern-equipped Kowsar fighter, which was unveiled a year ago, are improving day by day.

Deputy Commander of the Iranian Air Force General Hamid Vahedi said:

"A year ago, the Kowsar fighter was unveiled on the occasion of the day of the RII army and we have since witnessed spectacular progress in the mass production process of this type of aircraft. . "

He added: "The entire process of manufacturing Kowsar fighter aircraft is done at the national level and by Iranian aviation specialists. "

"We dare to say that Kowsar fighter jets were made and unveiled with more modern equipment," he said.


Amir Vahedi also said that everyone had witnessed the magnificent demonstrations by Kowsar fighter pilots during the Iranian Army National Day parade. In addition, he promised the completion and launch, in the near future, of the Acrojet team consisting of Kowsar fighter jets.

On August 30, 2018, President Hassan Rohani and the Minister of Defense unveiled the Kowsar fighter jet. It is a modern combat aircraft, responsible for short missions and air support totally manufactured in Iran. It makes Iran one of the few countries in advanced technology to design and build combat aircraft equipped with avionics systems and 6th generation firing systems. The aircraft will be converted into two types of single cabins and two cabins and has the ability to participate in military operations or to be used in advanced pilot training. The national production of the Kowsar fighter saved $ 16.5 million in the overall manufacture of the aircraft.

So, the F-35 might not be so bad after all... The Chinese have copied it and are close to signing a first export contract... with Iran. Imagine Iran getting its F-35 clone before Belgium gets its real ones.

Not the best option out there, but still a good plane.
Its price is almost double the Su 30, and its radar is weaker l, but if it comes with technology transfer, it's a good deal.

But the Su 30 should remain the priority for iran to get, and I think that the Su 35 would be a better option than the J 31.

if we get any thing from China it will be technology transfer Su 30SMs will not go anywhere

What about the radar and the engines?
Will china give iran a license to manufacture the radar? This can help iran learn some new stuff with aircraft sized radars, and the radar on it is an X band radar, which can be copied and modified and used on the new kowsar as @PeeD suggested.

And which engine will the aircraft be equipped with, the chinese engine or a RD-33 copy? And will iran get a license to produce them?
But if iran is developing it's own turbofan engine and it's a RD-33 copy, iran can use it's own engines on the aircraft, which means that the J 31 would cost less.

agreed but Iran already said we are working to build radars for fighter jets soooooo, i think Iran will go for Russian be it engines or the plans except for the technology transfer China is well ahead of Russia in stealth materials so there will be cooperation between the two as i do not think Russia would give Iran a lot in technology transfer as they are scared we will build better one's in future if Iran is like this under the sanctions what will Iran level be after all of them gone???

Iran military hates Chinese Fighter jets.

Anyone who has read past articles would know this.

I doubt Iran will buy Chinese, unless it’s full TOT and manufacturing happens Iran.

actually they are not that bad specially price wise, i have been reading about the j-10's fuel capacity, aerodynamics and other stuff and i should say it's good. the reason Iran wants Russian su-30 is the availability of it's spare parts and the fact that it's 100% Russian and only Russia can refuse to help or sell to us, unlike j-10.
however i think fc-31 is worth to buy. at least against enemy 4th generation it has an edge.

it's the mig-35 that really interests and not the S-30


Iran: Air Fleet Optimization with Russian MIG-35s

The military watch magazine's analytical website, which discusses military intelligence on the international scene, announced on Thursday 5 September the possible decision of five countries, including Iran, to buy the new Russian-made MIG-35 fighter.

"Five countries - Iran, India, Belarus and North Korea - would be important and potential customers of the new Russian MIG-35 fighter," reads the report.

The acquisition of the Russian MiG-35 would maximize its potential after several decades.

Modern air-to-air missile fighter equipment, particularly the K-77, and powerful sensors, range, and maneuverability will go a long way towards closing the current gap with other fighters deployed in the region, such as the F-1. -35 Israeli and the Saudi F-15.

The MIG-35 could replace aging American equipment, such as the F-5 and F-4 jets, which have been in use for more than 40 years.

I think, that even if Iran and Russia reached some preliminary agreements, no one will divulge their details ahead of time. Any rumors can now appear on the contrary to divert attention from real agreements

Iran shouldn't get the mig-35 as the plane still has some problems that it has inherited from the mig-29. One of them being that it has a limited range, as it can't carry that much fuel. Another thing is that it can't carry a big payload and its primary role would be interception.

I think that the Su-30 or the J-31 are better because they can carry a bigger payload and perform better as a multirole fighter.
