Aim-120C - Falcon BMS 4.32 vs DCS

Описание к видео Aim-120C - Falcon BMS 4.32 vs DCS

Decided to test it out: Launch platform flying at 25'000 feet at 390 knots IAS.
F-15C in DCS: Aim-120C fired at 25 nm - Terminal velocity 0.76 Mach (456 kts)
F-16C in F4BMS: Aim-120C fired at 28nm - Terminal velocity 1.45 Mach (875 kts)
for 24nm launch the terminal velocity was M1.54 (928 knots)

Time of Flight F4BMS: 57 sec, DCS: 62 seconds.
(48 seconds for 24nm in F4BMS.)

Falcon's missile flies a smarter path IMO:
Motor Burn time is same or similar, 9 seconds for both.
F4BMS's Slammer flies higher (29k vs 28k feet)
it also climbs shallower and dives shallower
F4BMS keeps climbing longer after motor burn-out
maximum velocity is similar (2225 kts vs 2160 in DCS)
a nicer/better ballistic curve ball results in a faster terminal velocity for the Falcon's missile.

Or it maybe due to different modelling of the flight characteristics of the missile.

Still, it seems that DCS is not modelling the missiles as well as Falcon 4 BMS. Falcon's missile flies longer distance 28 nm faster than it takes for DCS to travel 25 miles.

Tacview reports F4BMS launch velocity for the Falcon at 566 knots TAS. F-15C in DCS flew at 600 knots TAS.
