Hi folks. A quick note to let you know that there's a new tutorial on my site: F-15C Radar: Single Target Track (STT) and Flood Modes. The goal of this tutorial is to introduce you to the AN/APG-63's STT and Flood modes with the AIM-7 as the selected missile. We discuss the positives and negatives of these modes and begin a discussion of the Dynamic Launch Zone scale: what it is and how to use it. And, we actually shoot someone down today. :) You'll find it on the A2A page. It's marked as the latest addition (it's 2nd on the list below the AN-APG-63 Intro tutorial).

Да лан - И как - трудно на вертолете летать? - Да что тут трудного, - удивился старший лейтенант Ф. - Шаг-газ на себя, ручку вперед и пошел педалировать! Ну, есть, конечно, своя специфика - в чем-то и труднее, чем на самолете. И старшего лейтенанта понесло. Он вкратце обрисовал специфику управления вертолетом, потом перекинулся на воспоминания об Афганистане, о боях-пожарищах, о том, как заходишь на боевой, делаешь горку, отдаешь ручку вперед, жмешь на гашетку, уходишь от собственных осколков - плотно работали, брат, в ближнем бою, почти врукопашную, - как мостишь машину на какое-нибудь "орлиное гнездо" на четырех тысячах, притирая одним колесом к краю площадки, как, перегруженный, срываешься в пропасть, и переводишь падение в полет... Истребитель слушал, открыв рот, глаза его блестели. - Да, - сказал он, - Это поинтереснее, чем на истребителе будет. (с) Фролов

Это всё проблемы с запуском старфорса на пальцах...:cry:

Thanks Groove :)

Tu-160 jet intake: Flying home, yesterday:

The usage of a new material because of better heat resistance would mean that the original material did not fullfill the needs and therefor the design was not matched or false to begin with. On a sidenote: Achivements in technology or materials are generaly made when a given design is infeasible or impossible without the breaking of new ground. That's why technology leaps in times of warfare - read situations of urgent need. Again: The "fixed" gun is a cognitive design descision ( the thoughts behind it explained often enough by now ) and not a matter of technology developement.

Ok, here is the first prototype of my weapons panel. The back is made from 6mm acrylic which will be painted black, the front overlay is printed on a laser printer and then laminated for durability. No backlighting as this point. The switches, displays and LED's are connected to an IOCard MasterCard + DisplayCardII. Todo: Make the final front overlay (note the mismatch between the holes and LEDs etc on the pictures below) and glue it to the acrylic. Paint the acrylic. Rewire the the displays for a neater look (notice the wires sticking out of the top). For the next panel I'll definitively make a custom PCB instead of the current spaghetti approach :) Make the round safety covers on a lathe(one red,one black) for the jettison switches. Connect all the switches. /Oakes Some pictures: The acrylic + the overlay. Testing the first display Testing the displays Testing the full panel.

It's just you. :P

In the first instance, we see the behavior of the pointer, marked in green, if you used the mesh real, for the pointer. In the example that I propose, we use a simple mesh for the movement of the pointer, this way the pointer will not affect the movement of the head, nor dance by the buttons, has a simple and effective movement, the only thing that varies button pressed, the view is that we use, but to be glued to the dashboard, the variation is almost zero. The scheduling of a simple mesh, and the implementation is easy. In this picture (I am indeed a Picasso), we see as my system has that little problem of perspective, but it is so low that we will see no seldom, and when it happens one need only move the mouse slightly. EDITED: Clarify that in my last picture, the picture I made, that is not the Green Point your mouse is the button that crosses in the middle of the line of vision you press the lever. Ie the button that crosses the line of vision actually is a lever that moves when you press the left mouse button. Sorry for my bad english and I hope that I've managed to explain well.

What kind of electronic kit do they have to do such a thing? I read somethings about the B-2 and B-52 but never on the Tu-160, nor the TU-22. Specialy this last one Im interested in since it was in action recently.

Фу, вздохнем с облегчением...

Especialy not when you ask for it to engage sudden attacks by SAMs.

Третья причина - это вообще не причина. Если нету анимации, конвертирование из восьмой версии в седьмую занимает минуты. И Беркут, полегче с обьявлениями, неприкольно как-то звучит.

I had plans for reading this material, when I learn how to read: http://www.simpilotnet.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=32

Read a while ago on a Russian site that a Mig-31 (not specified what mod) couldn't lock on it with its radar from 6km. Ofcourse it doesn't say much about the ECM (or crappy ECCM on the -31), but that's because it's some kind of state secret, as is the jamming platform on the B-52. And true so, without it, those bombers would be a long range missile's dream.

All too rarely, Australian airline attendants make an effort to make the in-flight 'safety lecture' and their other announcements a bit more entertaining. Here are some real examples that have been heard or reported: On an Air NZ Flight with a very 'senior' flight attendant crew, the Pilot said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, we've reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your flight attendants.' On landing the hostess said, 'Please be sure to take all your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have.' 'There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways to leave the aircraft.' As the plane landed and was coming to a stop at Auckland , a lone Voice came over the loudspeaker: 'Whoa, big fella. WHOA!' After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Adelaide, a flight attendant on a Qantas flight announced, 'Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as f*** everything has shifted.' From a Qantas employee: 'Welcome aboard Qantas Flight X to Y. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised.' 'In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child travelling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are travelling with more than one small child, pick your favourite. 'Weather at our destination is 32 degrees with some broken clouds, but we'll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Qantas Airlines.' 'Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.' Heard on Qantas Airlines just after a very hard landing in Hobart . The flight attendant came on the intercom and said, 'That was quite bump and I know what you are all thinking. I'm here to tell you it wasn't the airline's fault, it wasn't the pilot's fault, it wasn't the flight attendant's fault... it was the asphalt!' Another flight attendant's comment on a less than perfect landing: 'We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.' After a real crusher of a landing in Sydney , the Flight Attendant came on with, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Captain Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tyre smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we'll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.' Part of a flight attendant's arrival announcement: 'We'd like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurised metal tube, we hope you'll think of Qantas.' A plane was taking off from Mascot Airport . After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number XYZ, non-stop from Sydney to Auckland . The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax - ARGHHH! OH, MY GOD!' Silence followed and after a few minutes, the captain came back on the intercom and said, 'Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier, but, while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilled the hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!' A passenger in Economy said, 'That's nothing. He should see the back of mine! And My Personal Fav......... An airline pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The airline had a policy which required the first officer to stand at the door while the passengers exited, smile, and give them a 'Thanks for flying United.' He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had got off except for an old lady walking with a cane. She said, 'Sonny, mind if I ask you a question?' 'Why no Ma'am,' said the pilot. 'What is it?' The little old lady said, 'Did we land or were we shot down?'
