Last weekend I visited the airshow at Kecskemét Airbase in Hungary, together with Wasserfall and Munir. Early friday morning we took the train to Brussels Airport, where our flight to Budapest would depart later that day. The flight itself was uneventful, and less than two hours later we bounced over the runway in Budapest. The landing was less than perfect, we made one or two jumps before the plane finally settled down. At the airport there are buses which take you from the aircraft to the gate, a distance of about 50 meters. At first we planned to rent a car in Budapest, but this proved to be twice as expensive as was advertised on the Internet, so we decided to use the public transport instead. This proved to be quite a challenge, as the departure schedules at the train stations only state when a train will depart, but not the platform. This information is only announced over the speakers, and since we only know one or two words Hungarian, we couldn't understand what the announcer was talking about. Most of our fellow travellers didn't speak English or German either, but we made it to our destination, without getting lost. When we arrived at Cegléd Station, the next step was to find out how to get to our camping. A taxi was the best option to travel the last seven kilometers, and we arrived at the camping a few minutes later. Saturday morning started off cloudy, but warm, and the rain thad had fallen during a very heavy nightly thunderstorm was all gone. We found out that there was a train station some 10 minutes from our camping, where we departed to Kecskemét for our first day at the airshow. At the train station in Kecskemét there were buses which took us to the airfield. We decided to concentrate on the static show on saturday, and find a nice spot along the runway on sunday. One nice thing about Hungarian airbases is that they park stored aircraft everywhere, like this nice line up of L-39ZO Albatroses. A little further back on a platform behind the Albatroses were a MiG-29 and two Mi-8 helicopters hidden under a camouflage net. I guess they didn't want us to see these aircraft. Somewhat further on we came across this SA-6 installation, with several vehicles we recognized from Lockon. The Hungarians also preserve old aircraft, like this Mil Mi-1 helicopter, and the Yak-11 behind it. There was also a Polikarpov Po-2, but it was too crowded to take some decent pictures of that plane. There were several brand-new hangars, which will house the JAS-39A Gripens the Hungarians have leased to replace their MiG-29s. One of these hangars was occupied by the RAF with two of the four Harriers and two Tornados in front of it. Another hangar was used to display several aircraft parts, such as a K-36D ejection seat and an RD-33 jet engine. Inside there was a MiG-29B, where we were allowed inside the cockpit. The K-36D is rather comfortable, and a MiG-29 is a lot more spacious than a MiG-21. On both days the closing act was a race between a Red Bull F1 car and an Edge-540, Bell AH-1 Cobra and a MiG-29UB. The F1 team was there with two cars, one of which was Vitantonio Liuzzi's Toro Rosso. In the afternoon we found a spot along the runway to see some flying activities. There were some demoteams which I had never seen before, one of which was Krila Oluje from Croatia, flying with five PC-9Ms. Peter Besenyei was also present with his Edge-540, flying a stunning 10 minute aerobatics routine. The Turkish Stars also flew a nice demo, accompanied by their very funny commentator. The Hungarian national airline Malév sent a Boeing 737-600 which preformed some flyby's on both days. The first flyby was a practice approach with the gear down, at about 5 meters above the runway. The second was a high speed run (about 500 or 600 km/h) with the gear up, flying at about 8 meters altitude. The Turkish Stars brought their special red and white C-130 Hercules with them, and allowed us inside to take a few pictures. We had a chat with one of the crewchiefs in there, who proudly told they had been at Volkel two months ago, when he heard we were from the Netherlands. End of part one, I will post the rest of this report in the evening when I'm finished sorting the pictures from Sunday.

я совсем не против дисковери, там действительно подбирается хороший и познавательный видеоряд. главное текст фильтровать, как и в передачах Ильина.

Do you have plans for release one Demo of BlackShark when it is done??:music_whistling:

For the first time in weeks, I had some time to kill last weekend, so I started working on a new model for the F-5E in Lock-On (the old model isnt horrible, but it wouldnt hurt if it was a bit more detailed). This is just a quick render, and I havent done much more than just roughing in the shape of the aircraft, so there is alot of work left. But it would be nice to get some feedback on the model so far.

PythonOne just mentioned the "REPUTATION" to get across his point which was how the black ninja was asking stupid questions. "REPUTATION" is not a matter of pride but instead should be considered a "trust/helpful meter" of sorts as to how the rest of the community veiws that person. Of course the "REPUTATION" isnt that important, if it was we would get money exchanged for points earned! Besides, if the Lockon forums Rep system doesn't mean anything then on what board would it?

Is this the Ice from 169 ? If yes i'm still waiting for your apologies about how rude you have been on the 169 th server . My post was deleted and i think it's incorrect and if it is you i should report it to the ED team. A simple apology can fix this real quick.

Наивный или оптимист?

I think you're ignoring reality ... you're thinking of a 'laboratory experiment' where the only echo you get is the one from the stealth aircraft. In reality, you'll receive craploads of signals which you might -not- be able to reconcile at all, and terrain here will be a big factor, as well as ECM. Right ... 'small' 'inexpensive' 'highly efficient' 'very sensitive' and 'integrated'. Good luck ;) Where are you going to put all these systems anyway? They're not going to give you advance warning no matter much you'd like that. You have a numbers/area/terrain problem. Wrong. Dead wrong. A radar guided missile will have a rather /hard/ time guiding onto a stealth aircraft. An IR missile might only fare marginally better. Stealth is there to defeat specifically those things. If a missile seeker can't pick up the target, how is it going to guide? Nope, you don't. You don't even know it's an aircraft. Detection and tracking are stochastic events. In other words, you have to pick up a LOT of reflections. No, there's no magic about it. And there's no magic that will defeat it as easily as you surmise either. ;) And no, not too bad for the stealth plane ... because your SAMs and your aircraft still can't do anything to it ... they'll get trounced by it even if they know it's there because THEY CANNOT EMPLOY THEIR WEAPONS AGAINST IT. I hope that makes things clear ;)

Operation "Busy Mornin" 4 Russian fighters try to make their way undetected to an american airbase. But the CIA detects the take offs and sends a QRA fleet to protect the airfield...and the fight begins.

Dmut, + за самообладание и выдержку. )

Being a long time IL2 pilot and new to LOMAC, I have enjoyed learning to fly LOMAC. I have had a tremendous amount of fun and it has been great meeting the LOMAC Community. I recently scored my first Gunzo Kill on line and I thought I would share the moment. I hope you like the shots! Guns 1 Guns 2 Guns 3 Guns 4

Clan= no, no, no Squadron= yes,yes,yes. :D

I spoked to Chizh on the Russian branch of the forum. He said that he liked the model. So the author should keep on working on the model.

Thx my Friend you always give me a answer on my questions :thumbup: So it is on hold right? And ED WIP Su-27 to they want to include it in BS? If so we can't fly the new Su-27 since in BS you can only fly the Ka-50 no? Sorry for all my questions but you are well informed so i take the opurtunty P.S: Sorry for my bad english :D

You can find it in the 3d model section http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=18484&highlight=strikemax Notice i said WIP so don't expect a download link.

I'm glad to help this cause! The 25A is my favourite plane since Armoured Fist 2 back in 1997 :) Beside i mentioned this problem, before but nobody listend to it. Maybe this time... I really hope this time it reach the proper ears because i love to see my frog full of holes and with missing parts, just like back in the Il-2 when the mission was boring if you can't see through your sturmoviks wing :D.

Well, i installed 7.8 XP for my X1950Pro yesterday, i've ran LockOn (1.12 and 1.2 Beta) C&C 3, Prey, COD2 and some other apps, as well as most other day to day things and i haven't experienced a single issue :huh: guess i must be lucky

По поводу "принтскрина как способа уйти от пушки": "На хвосте" я услышал только когда мне это сказали раз в 4-й. Естесственно, был выполнен маневр. Посмотрел трек - совпало с первыми попаданиями снарядов. P.S. "Принтскринить" - тут не для этого собираются.

I approve - "Yoda if you wanted rep then just ask...jeeez...LOL"

Have some :thumbup:

When im using A10's Canon, Smoke from it all over my cockpit.. And its harming my fps badly... Is it posibable to turn off this smoke in pit.. for the A10? Thanks

Your server consistently causes my game to freeze up and crash. I'd hate to believe an AMD 4600 X2 qualifies for not up to snuff system specs to run on the server. While during the two redflag flights I have participated in I encountered no such problems.
