Hello, Here's an old-fashioned Lock On action movie from the French community. Not the most original you'll see - l0csta's already invented everything anyway :P -, but efficient scenes and good music make the trick :smilewink: Hope you'll like it :joystick: http://www.3rd-wing.net/espace_pilotes/Major/92nd_Kodiak_Air_Force.wmv (windows media, 9:07 long, 137 mb) S! PS : the usual sorry-for-my-crappy-english goes here:doh:

Well ive had quite a few donations and well wishers wanting me not to give up. Ive been going through a complicated RL (whos isnt ;)) lately but ive seen light at the end of the tunnel and i want to get things back on track. http://www.lockonskins.co.uk is now back and business as usual. Thanks, Dave. :pilotfly: PS Im looking for some mature trustworthy staff to help me run it (update news and add download etc, give me a shout if you think you can help.

If Germany created Stealth back in WW2 I don't see it unresonable that Russian technology could be countering Stealth,they could possibly be more advanced than anyone could imagine. Im sure there are plenty of top secret projects going on in this world , just that some countries don't have the resources to implement such ideas.

Yup, that's our new "gunship", it's a prototype - a modified "slick" 0901. First of the 09xx series that were modified to NVGs use by the crew. The 'Gluszec' have full glass cockpit, FADEC enhanced engines, and few other things that you can see on these photos. What will change is the machine gun under the nose. There is project underway to make .50cal 3 barrel Gatling system similar to American GAU-19/A. There will be probably a whole new main rotor, probably 5 bladed.

По соображениям собственного кодекса чести по самолетам на земле ракетами ВВ не стреляю независимо от типа самолета. И делать этого не буду вне зависимости от того, будет вулч разрешен или запрещен.

I think you fail to account for the 'stealth against current and projected radars' fact. The MiG-31 won't be finding any Raptors, no matter how much you wish it to do so. That advantage isn't shrinking quite as fast as you think. THe Russians know how to do what right - defy the laws of Physics? Fire Control radars must by necessity use certain frequencies - the Raptors are 'tuned' to be stealth to those. There's no getting around that.

I dont need to tell that with stealth technology of aircraft, there is counter-developing of radar systems in progress and believe me Russians know how to it right. Also must add that it is faster, lower price and easier (... let's say) to work under EWR technology than an aircraft. That is why I believe USAF way of thinking is a mistake. Too high price for a short temporary advance. The point is F22 isnt totally invinsible but harder to find and every day this advance is shrinking.

Добавлю свои пять копеек. Пока не будет autoteambalance - вулчинг запретить (кроме ВПУ и штурмов). Каждый день можно наблюдать картину маслом: 5 красных vs 1 синий на RAF. Редко наоборот. Меня пресуют редко, но когда это происходит весь словарный запас куда то пропадает. Остаются только нелестные словосочетания описывающие сексуальную ориентацию, патологические отклонения при родах, и явно выраженную моральную деградацию у нападающих. А также появляется абсолютная уверенность, что я знаю в каком направлении, с какой скоростью и каким именно способом необходимо им отправиться.

Вулч-вулчу рознь, так что с одной стороны да, с другой нет, да это когда прорвался и всех покоцал, нет это когда над аэродромом с**а кружит и выносит появляющихся, душил бы таких своими руками . . .

Not sure why you think I havent dealt with it. Quite easily actually. There are more than a few A2G servers, and I for A2A I fly with respectable people who dont see a need to use an exploit.

Забивать можно "от балды". Если ты говоришь о Net.Frameworks то V.2 занимает 23 с хвостиком мега. Ссылка версии 2: http://files.3dnews.ru/pub/ms/dotnetfx_2.0RP-06.03.22.exe Ссылка версии 3: http://files.3dnews.ru/pub/ms/dotnetfx3.exe Версия 3 занимает 50,5 Мб отличается от 2 поддержкой Vista.

Then you might as well return Lock On to the store because it's ground/people/vehicle FM is so bad. Makes Mario Kart feel real. Honestly, it's an infantry game. What did you expect?

OK! Here you go: There are four steps. 1. Separate the Different fields of depth from each other, in this example its the interior of the cockpit and the outer environment. I used the "Magic Wand/Zauberstab" (play with the values of it to get the best results) and the "Polygon Lasso/Polyagon-Lasso" for this task (press "shift" to grow your selection and "alt" to reduce it, while you are using the tools). Place separate regions on different layers by copy and paste. 2. Use the Filter "Gaussian Blur/Gauscher Weichzeichner" on the first layer/inner environment to simulate a focus outside the cockpit. Add missing regions at the second layer/outer environment with the "Clone Stamp/Kopierstempel". 3. Use the "Smudge/Wischfinger" and "Blur/Weichzeichner" to remove sharpness from the more distance parts of the background and reflections of the canopy. 4. Change the color settings. Therefor go to menu "Image-> Adjust-> Levels/Bild-> Einstellen-> Tonwertkorektur" and also rise the saturation "Image> Adjust-> Hue/Saturation/Bild-> Einstellen-> Farbton/Saettigung". Now you owe me a rep-point, warthogmadman987!:smilewink:
