STS-41c... Launched: April 6, 1984 at 8:58:00 a.m. EST Mission Duration: 6 days, 23 hours, 40 minutes, 7 seconds Revolution: 108 The first direct ascent trajectory for space shuttle. Using the manned maneuvering unit, astronauts replaced the altitude control system and coronagraph/polarimeter electronics box in the Solar Max satellite: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Capturing_the_Solar_Maximum_Mission_satellite.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/SMMS_repair_by_STS-41C_Astronauts.jpg while it remained in orbit. The Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/162466main_rms07_S32-85-029_lores.jpg was deployed, carrying 57 experiments which were left on orbit with an intention of retrieving them during a later mission. Other payloads on this mission were: IMAX camera; Radiation Monitoring Equipment (RME); Cinema 360; Shuttle Student Involvement Program (SSlP) experiment. In flight refueling in LOMAC is nothing in comparison to catching flying satellite... Space walk RULEZ! :pilotfly:

Не всё так гладко прошло. Утром сегодня вспомнил, что я забыл включить запись трека на сервере.:( Звиняйте.

There is a freeware program made for FSX called TileProxy http://edtruthan.com/tileproxy/tutorial/ . Basically what it does - in simple words - ...it downloads elevation and terrain picutures from satelite services like googlemap (others too by choice), converts it instantly into your sim and tadaaaa you fly over it with :worthy: effect. What im wondering...since beginning of knowing this.... is if i can download and convert datas that way almost live (actually it is live) in my FSX ...cant i use the same thing to RE-MAKE the lockon map. If i would know how to do it ...i would give it a try definitly.... So my question to the DEVS is....would that be theoratically possible to get the datas that way and to storage them as layer or whatever? http://edtruthan.com/tileproxy/keys/floridakeys.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls_XFb8LZ7I&feature=related F-15 Formation with TileProxy and Trackir !!! Must see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw4okrYPcyU&feature=related (demo made by someone) PS: this post is only meant as inspiration ..... ;)

All new series Sundays at 10 E/P on the Military Channel. I just watched my first episode tonight with host Major Paul "Max" Moga, the first F-22A demonstration pilot. This show reminds me of the series called Dogfights, except Max is a really good and cool 8) host. It also talks a lot about the man and the machine and how these pilots used their plane's advantages or sometimes disadvantages in their favor. Some really nice "inside the cockpit" parts too with Max sitting down in these old warbirds! I've added Showdown to my DVR-list! :D Here's a preview:

No prob m8, I do some scale kit modelling too so I had to comment!

Thanks D-.... I'll keep that in mind. :) What I was thinking.

Yes, can we snipe tank's periscope with a single shot ;) ? Lucky one maybe, but can we? I have other questions: How well are the bullets and ricochets synchronized over internet? Does DCS include bomb holes visiblity fix? Is there a lifespan and LOD included for all bomb and bullet holes that are drawn in the gameworld to optimize overall game performance?

Hopefully the mods won't mind me posting this link http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=discovery+channel+wings theres a few listed on there :)

Looks like there's Flaming Cliffs here: http://www.gameswarehouse.com.au/longpage.asp?gameid=12344 I recently bought Lock On Gold from these guys (I got the last copy in their inventory) and they are reliable (bought heaps of games from them - Sydney-based, mail order or pick up from their Silverwater (Sydney) premises. cheers smith

SKF- nice Tomcat there!

D-Schyte, Your terrain also looks impressive, especially upper part of satellite image in Mission editor! I'm still a XP user so don't use DX-10 needed for such candy detail in FS-X, but I must admit that terrain's great. I wonder how's the FPS over larger cities. So AS, can you FRAPS some of the FPS over Nellis AB with Vegas in the background?!

sony was originally know for its quality and stuff, but my pro's laptop paint quality is already starting to fade and such, and its expensive as hell. Basically, you are paying just for the brand. Apple, some people prefer apple but again, its expensive as well. I can't really comment on the others except dell. I have the Dell Inspiron 1720, the specs are in my sig. It runs lock on pretty well and i like it here's a pic of it If you get the dell, I can provide some dell coupons on this site http://www.notebookreview.com/dellCoupon.asp Those coupons change every week so it fits a variety of needs. So you could get a fairly decent laptop for a good price. All the best. but one advice, if you are going to have it for school like I did for college, a 17 inch laptop is pretty heavy. But I bring it anyway because it can play lock on lol. Cheers and good luck.

I can confirm this - I've tried using real world maps to add more detail to LO's terrain, took forever just for a first pass rough draft. Moreover, you can't edit the terrain mesh.

Согласен, но мне кажется в нашем случае нужно еще обдумать тот факт, что в жизни наши вертолетчики воевали против моджахедов, а в симуляторе мы можем настроить "горячею войну" со всей техникой противника.

Happy Birthday X-man!

Very nice mod you got there Highwayman-Ed :thumbup: This is now part of my Lockon install :smartass:

Well, the weapon it much butter than the originals from ED though they doesn't show up as good as your original work, but still much better. Only thing that bugs me, as you can see, is the text that are a bit dissorted.

To all, Sorry for not responding earlier, but we have not been ignoring this thread. In fact, we had discussed this idea on the moderator board before this thread was opened. We reached the conclusion that, in principle, we support the creation of a dedicated MP section of the forum and will likely move forward to create one. We only hesitate now, because we feel the forum is already quite well spaced out for the number of regular members it hosts today. There is no sense in hosting a forum with a bunch of empty sections. As it is, MP discussion is already split between the LO General Discussion section and the Tracks, Missions and Campaigns section, neither of which is exactly overflowing. We anticipate that the membership on the ED Forum will continue to grow and as that happens, you can probably look forward to a dedicated multiplayer section for both Lock On and DCS.

Это МФС9 не с лудшей подборкой самолетов.

Понимаю, прямое управление - совсем отдельная песня. Имхо, желаемого эффекта можно полностью добиться и через механизм подачи команд - управляющих его действиями (а-ля RTS, типа следовать в..., патрулировать, огонь разрешен/запрещен и т.п. Таким образом можно и пресловутый "пуск" выполнять. Другой интересный вопрос тут заключается в том, что таких "тактических" игроков (помимо собственно пилотов) в принципе могло бы быть больше одного с каждой стороны. Например это может быть разделение управления между несколькими игроками по группам юнитов, или по видам войск - аэродромы+ДРЛО, ПВО, наземные...

sweet, I will check it out Edit: wow I just installed it, its a lot smoother compared to the previous one. Good job man!

Все нормально получается!) Нашел простую бесплатную прогу Subtitle Workshop, вот ссылка, весит 1 мегабайт http://www.urusoft.net/downloads/subtitleworkshop251.zip У меня сразу быстро получилось приделать субтитры к своему ролику! Запускаем прогу, открываем мувик (Movie -> Open...) , потом создаем файл субтитров (File -> New Subtitle...). Запускаем видео, ставим на паузу в нужнный момент, чтобы вставить субтитр нажимаем "Ins" (чтобы вставить субтитр перед уже имеющимся - "Shift+Ins"), кнопкой (или Alt+C) задаем начало субтитра (Alt+V конец) Вводим текст субтитра и ставим длительность его показа и так дальше. После того, как все субтитры созданы, сохраняем файл субтитров ("File -> Save"), программа предлагает нам выбрать формат из большого списка, выбираем "SubRip", указываем имя файла (такое же как у файла .avi, но с расширением .srt), сохраняем в ту же папку, где находится .avi, все теперь субтитры будут проигрываться любым плейером. Вот пример моего видео (Снято мною на мобилу :D) http://ifolder.ru/6744550 Архив 2,4 мб (Видео и файл субтитров разархивировать в одну папку)
