this is the pilot I asked about the smoke ingestion problem. (yeah, that guy in yellow T-Shirt fearing not to fall from there is me :P) I was climbing that ladder (boy it kinda woobles) and expecting to see a A-10C cockpit... I couldn't believe it... I was looking at a real Lock On A10 cockpit :) , It was realy close do the pilot but, comfortable (Always when I completly zoom out in A-10 in Lock On I remember that Hog Pit ;) ). And I said: "Oh... that is an A variant" and he said something like... "ofcourse, the C is not that numerous". And then I asked him "I learned that A10 A has a problem with the smoke from the gun killing the engines" and he repplied something like: "Oh, that one... was fixed long time ago... you see there are some cutouts in the fuselage (and he raised from the sit and pointed backwards to the plane) that are made to draw the smoke away from the engines... and as a safety measure the starters or the engines are fired when the gun is used... so is not a problem anymore" I took his word for it and I trust that more than a magasine.

Hey folks, one guy from our community send us some interesting information about real performance od engines (he got detailed manual of RD-33 and its performance also manual to migs)and also SVK_Raimir done some test in LOckon. Maybe some information are known but I would like to share with some interesting details. Thank you Anatolij for you help. Some of text is maybe in natural language but guys from Poland and from other countries will understeand I hope ;) Performance (engines MiG-29) maximal performance. http://www.mzak.cz/lockon/doc/rd33_max.png Performance RD-33 full afterburner. http://www.mzak.cz/lockon/doc/rd33_pf.png Performance AL-31F (engines Su-27), http://www.mzak.cz/lockon/doc/al31f_vykon.png Maneuvring capabilities Su-27 vs. F-15, F-16, Tornado F2 http://www.mzak.cz/lockon/doc/su27_manevrovani.zip EKRAN: http://www.mzak.cz/files/ekran.zip Mig-21 Script for testing of performance in lockon. http://62.168.117.7/letka/SVK_Raimir/Skripty/rychlost.zip Some results:

1.Ты хочешь сказать, что сушка более трудная цель для буков и торов, чем чебур? Обоснуй! 2.Оптика мавериков не в счет? Не один хрен, прилеплена оптика к самолету, или к ракете? Ракеты выстрелил-камера все равно не нужна, это не вертолет, чтоб зависнуть и камерой обозревать пространство. 3.Чебур работает по колоннам, сушка-по всему-из чего такой вывод? 4.Выводить как минус самолета отсутствие какой либо ракеты имхо некорректно.

Is that check list from the Ka50 startup video? Looks about right for that one . . . . There are a couple more steps in the sequence now . . . but I'm not sure the NDA lets me tell you exactly what they are and what they do. It's broadly speaking right, and a good leg-up . . . . but it's just a bit more accurate (and complex) now.

In an attempt to get a Head-Start on the Start-Up procedure of the Kamov Ka - 50, I have managed to put together a "Check-List" for myself detailing the start-up as I understand it: Would it be possible for a Beta-Tester to peruse and crit the check-list and if possible, correct where applicable so as to ensure that I do not err from the outset?

Можно. Если уж 8600 GT нормально , то GTS и подавно.

Издевайтесь, издевайтесь... :D

Guys, I don’t want to cause any turbulence in your community and I just was just offering to help where I could, If I had known about your project a few weeks ago I would have been here sooner but, I didn’t know so was unaware of the updates being done. That being said I think Yeniceri and the beta have done a great job with the model and I’m sure the Lock 0n community will be very happy with your guys work. I’m still happy to help where I can with either answering questions about the model, the real A-10 itself, or with the skinning effort. So towards that effort here’s the answers to the questions posed by Yeni. Question one- The RWR antennas can be either rounded or flat, the only difference between the two is the manufacturer of the antennas themselves. Same antenna just built by different companies, both styles can sometime even be found on the same aircraft, if you look closely. Question two- WOW I’m not really sure what you’re asking here. The slats are solid surfaces hinged on two arms which extend into the airflow to channel air into the engines. The slat is not hallow, nor is the wing under it. There are two slots through the wing surface where the arms run through to allow control of the slat. The solid slat is formed to match the contour of the wing so when retracted it matches the wing surface. Hope this helps?? Question three- Again I’m not sure what you’re asking. There are cooling vents, intake scoops, and other opening on the aircraft that do different things. Can you point-out in a picture what “square holes” you’re talking about? Question four- Without getting to deep “into the weeds” the A-10A does use the GPS antenna but, lock-on’s code doesn’t take that into account in it’s avionics so, if you used it, it would only be “eye-candy”. The “probe” forward of the GPS antenna (circled in Kung-Fu’s photo) is the total temperature probe and is found on ALL A-10A’s and A-10C’s, it should be included. Question five- Short answer is yes, the forward windscreen glasses are coated with a special coasting for night vision compatibility. Hell guys lets have a little fun, here's a link to a promo music video I made for next year's (it's never to early to plan) Hawgsmoke 2008. It's made to the 80's hair band Ratt's....wanted man... http://www.warthogpen.com/hawgsmoke_2008_files/hawgsmoke_2008_s.wmv

The AIM-120D is the only AAM that I know of that will feature a two-way datalink. The F-15 fire control radar contails look-up tables for the missile's DLZ and flight times under different launch conditions.

They will just have to pretend that its a pimple!:D

Huuu? Whats going to happen to LOCK ON? :joystick:

It might have been a good idea 2 weeks before.. 4 ppl tested deeply, and i have been unwrapping it for almost 2.5 weeks now.. Point of modelling is past.. I wish dice was here 3 weeks before.. :(

Mi24 vs Apache:

new update from the blackbird project: well sorry for spelling mistakes, i am not awacke alot anymore, cause now it is 05:11am and i am going to bed now. well i had to built a complete new ejectionseat from just a bit of picture material which wasn´t the best too, cause most of the times the pilots were in the way :-) not much is missing now in the cockpit. then i will finish the nozzles and finaly i will get to the gear. @muehle: thanks for the information :-) here we go with a picture

LOCERF 07-5 DATE CHANGE The date for LOCERF 07-5 has been moved to November 3rd at 0500 zulu. This is to ensure that Red Flag and Black Sea Showdown do not have conflicting dates. The deadline to submit requests is also been moved to October 15th and 1200 zulu. You dont want to miss this next one, we are implementing the use of the ATC mod for ATC/FAC/GCI. Its going to be great!!!

Простите, если я вылез из танка, в ЧА планируется кликабельная кабина?
