I was inspired after I saw a similar RL F-16 Picture thread over at Frugals. That particular thread has grown a lot and its filled with nice pictures that I never seen on the internet or anywhere else. http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=103881 So I thought to myself we should have one too. Share any pic you can find that either Flanker related or sukhoi, MiG…etc. Whatever makes you happy, it will probably make us happy. I found these on the internet from various sources, all these pictures below are not taken by me. If the pictures don’t show up anymore, it’s probably imageshack ran out of bandwidth or something so please hang tight. I don’t have anything else that could upload hi-res images. More to come, this is a very small part i like to share.

Для всех энтузиастов - создателей железных кокпитов, и не только! Я и мой друг Nir Bar (Schredder) готовы представить вам следующую разработку: LockOn LCD v.1.0 (формат изображенных данных ко времени релиза несколько поменялся, но идея понятна) Мы поставили перед собой задачу - создание дешевого, простого в сборке устройства, для вывода информации из ЛО в реальном времени. Остановили свой взгляд на монохромных, текстовых LCD панельках 20х4, их нетрудно найти в продаже, и стоят они в пределах 25 долларов. Нир трудился над железной частью проекта, я написал софтовую часть :) Софт для дисплея совместим с LockOn Virtual Panel, по этому их можно использовать одновременно. Программная часть LockOn_LCD - это плагин для программы "LCD Smartie" - которая распространяется бесплатно, детали можно узнать из описаний в архиве. Архив с полным фаршем - описанием создания монохромного дисплейчика, настройкой софта (софт прилагается), и запуском этого всего хозяйства, можно скачать здесь: http://lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=82&lid=880&title=LO_LCD%20v.1.0#dldetails С уважением команда LO_LCD - Максим Лысак (Mnemonic) и Нир Бар (Schredder)

I'm guessing this has probably been talked about quite a bit, but these sidewinders seem almost worthless. I probably have only a 25% kill ratio (just guessing here) with these things. I almost don't fire them anymore unless I'm right behind them less than 2 nm. Any tips to increase the probability of these things?

I've been quite impressed by Megaupload, although the pop-ups can be a little sneaky. While testing I had one window pop up implying I could only download the file if I agreed to join a particular site. Cancelling that did reveal the proper download window behind it though. Anyway, I'm sure everyone's aware of those kind of tactics, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Ok, movie archive 1 contains my first 7 movies, from the most basic beginnings (the first three movies were made with the LOMAC demo) to the more adventurous later on. McParchive1.zip, 317Mb, http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UMBXRTUA 1) Mig-29 flight 2) Kamenka (A10 attacks convoy) 3) Better Late Than Never (A10 attack after a ground battle) 4) Tonight (a bit of post-release fooling around in the Su-27) 5) Sync or Swim (formation Su-27s, low res but very smooth as I recorded it using the AIW vid card on my second PC) 6) Su Tai Chi (slow flying experiment with new editing software) 7) Stay Out of the Clouds (A lone Su-27 taking on 2 F-15s) Movie archive pack 2 contains movies 8-11. McParchive2.zip, 335Mb, http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GFQK3NVY 8 ) Frog or Prince (Su-25 attack) 9) Untitled movie dealing with FC's delay. 10) Hastily prepared movie after watching the amazing and flawless online airshow by the VFTC. 11) Tornado: Precision Strike (my homage to the Tornado). These packs may help fill up some gaps in people's collections...or merely illustrate just how little life I really have. ;-) Andrew McP

Может пора загрузить на сервер другую миссию, мож результаты тестов будут еще какими.. А данная миссия не обладает балансом в защите (даже скажем в отношении Кузи и Винсона) поэтому Кузя становится легкой добычей синих. Ктож в реале так бросит авианосец да еще единственный :) ... Мое предложение по потере ФПС, поставить сцены на сервере на низкие это должно сделать игру стабильние. Хотя бы для проверки, а там уж будет видно ...

Тутор давно пора забабахать, проблема только в времени. Думаю в ближайшее время набросаю планчик тутора, так чтобы продвинутые товарищи смогли по ходу пьесы задать вопросы, ну а начинающие... К сожалению с азов разжовывать нет времени. Уже года полтора задумываю, катастрофический дефицит времени.

Ah sweet Paralyer, it works pretty well. Just a couple of request, when we start pulling the high G's, could you make it start with the breathf, then breaths (maybe a couple of repeats) and end it with another breathf. And make that same breathing for the GER and USA? Cheers and thanks.

Anybody interested, please watch this video: http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Guest/154/ In the end that Su-27 lands and the pilot doesn’t use the drag chute and makes aerobraking holding the nosewheel up as long as possible. See that airbrake is out also. From touchdown until it lowers the nosewheel it takes 21 seconds. Do the same thing in LockOn and time how long you can hold the nose up. You will be able to keep it 13-14 seconds with airbrake in, with airbrake out about 12. Let’s see why this happens. In LockOn Su-27’s aerodynamics characteristics are reasonably correct at low altitudes. The difference in the above example is mainly because the planes with SFM have zero idle thrust, a thing deduced by me experimentally. In real life when Su-27 lands the nozzle is in fully closed position, NO MATTER what rpm the engines have anywhere between idle-military. This is done to have as much clearance as possible in case the pilot goes too slow during flare and makes a hard landing, fully compressing the shock absorbers. It is to avoid the nozzles hitting the runway. Also in case of landing abort when pilot advances the throttles, because the nozzles are already closed will permit thrust to build up faster (as explained in AL-31F book page 292). It is not clear (to me) what signal causes the nozzles to close during landing. In AL-31F engine technical description book (airwar.ru) it says only that “the signal comes in landing case, when the a/c is still in the air”(page292). After this signal the engines automatics won’t let the nozzles to open, ignoring the governing laws that normally positions the nozzles in flight according to various engine parameters. IMO the nozzles closure is done either when the gear is lowered, or when the flight control sys switches to takeoff-land regime. In the video you can see how the nozzles opens seconds after touchdown, the right one at about 200, the left at 150-170 (my estimation about those speeds). Have no idea why they don’t open simultaneously. The nozzles opening during landing run is necessary to decrease the landing length. The AL-31F idle thrust is 250 Kgf (same book) with the nozzles opened, with the nozzles closed evidently the thrust is higher. Nozzles opening signal probably comes at a certain indicated air speed. Any chance such things will be implemented (this decade :) )?

OK mate, I remember having this problem for a while too. The problem is the Cineform codec, you've gotta remove it but unfortunately it won't remove itself from the Device Manager however many times you click remove. To do so, follow these steps: 1) I would make a system restore point first. You never know. 2) Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and delete cfhd.dll. 3) Hit Windows+R or go Start>Run and type in regedit, hit enter. 4) In regedit search for cineform and delete everything you come across. It would be wise to make a backup of your registry first lol. 5) Now search for cfhd and delete everything you come across. Restart. 6) I would compress and optimise the registry, then restart again, but that's up to you. 7) Anyway...go to Device Manager>Video codecs again and check if Cineform is there. It shouldn't be. If it is try removing it, if it just comes back again try restoring and doing all the steps again. If that doesn't work than sorry mate, I've been of no use. But if it isn't you should be good to go. Fire up LO and try and record a track of a few secs with numbered screenies. You can join them together by dragging the first one into VirtualDub later on. 8) If all's gooood, then your screenies should be in C:\bla bla\LO dir\Movies Hope that helps you and good luck, this problem can be a real pain :) Edit: Meh random smilies screwed up step 8 :lol:
