Вот рисовал для своего сквада менюху. Может кому то понравиться. Впринципе не жалко....но копирайты никто не отменялл..=))) Качните и поставте не пожалеете! ...Lock On 1.1\FUI\Common - сюда кидаете файлик и наслаждайтесь! http://www.mdx.nm.ru/main-screen.rar п.с. ED учитесь! хе хе..=))

Interesting discussion you've got going here, however you are operating under several misconceptions::doh: 1) There's no such thing as a 38,000 Lb F-15 with full internal fuel, unless it's stripped down. The basic empty weight (Aircraft + Unusable fuel + Oil + Pilot) is around 28-29,000 (varies with each aircraft, but we flightplan a generic aircraft). Add to that full internal JP-8 which is roughly 14,000 Lbs & that gives an aircraft weight of 42-43,000lbs. BTW, can you even remove the wing pylons in LOMAC and do they account for any drag or weight to the aircraft (this will affect the climb - at least IRL). Weight of the aircraft with BEW+wing pylons+4LAU-114racks+Full internal fuel is roughly 44,000lbs (my memory is a little stale here but I think my numbers are correct). 2) The above climb charts are based on flying the aircraft in a certain manner - the dash-1 specific climb schedule. Hold brakes, run engines up to 80% RPM, release brakes, throttles into burner, rotate at 120KCAS to 10 degrees pitch, airborne at computed takeoff speed (or basically whenever the aircraft decides to fly - we compute this speed), gear and flaps up after airborne, accelerating to 350KCAS, hold 350KCAS to M0.95, hold this or 40degrees nose up, whichever comes first. 3) if you're using that chart to find a specific time to climb, you must hold your pitch THROUGH that altitude - i.e. don't try to level off, but maintain M0.95 through the desired altitude, just stop timing when that altitude is achieved. 4) the chart is based on a Standard Aeronautical Day = 59oF/15oC, 29.92inHg/1013.25mb, with standard lapse rate of 3.5oF/2oC up to 36,000ft. Is this even modeled in LOMAC?:huh: If you're flying in the Crimea in the summer, you must use the bottom left temperature corrections above standard day temperature. 5) Did you remember to add 30 seconds to whatever the chart gives you as a time to climb IF you're looking for time to climb from BRAKE RELEASE. This is a critical point, as the number for the chart only gives you time from attaining 350KCAS to level off. 6) Yes the F-15 can take off and climb straight up - however, to do this we do the above procedure, but hold the aircraft close to the ground (anywhere from 5ft to 50ft pilot pref.) and accelerate to 350KCAS (or more for a more spectacular climb), then pull the nose smoothly into a 90opitch attitude. The engine thrust will fall off as you climb, parasite drag will begin to decrease with decreasing airspeed & induced drag is negligible (pilots are aware of these things - in a big-picture sense, but don't need to know the numbers, just the shape of the drag curve.:music_whistling: ) That's about all i can think of right now.

Nopey dopey Fighter ops is VAPOURWARE in the extreme, just as OIR Falcon whatever and Falcon V (LMTsO) Big pile of Shite. Doesn't exist and never will..... errr....emmm..... ......So as I was saying, thank you ED for keeping the torch burning for such a small and sometimes unappreciative audience ;) From loverble Mizzy.
