To get the photo from above, this has to happen from time to time :D This is how I know aircraft. This is from Eielson.af.mil You are looking at the inside the engine bay of an F-16, the Accessory Drive Gear box (ADG) area on the Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) side. This is on a F-22 on AF.mil If you do not know how this feels, get some break fluid from your car and poor it down your arm, also try to hold your arms above your head for about half an hour while turning a screw driver or wrench, It feel great :smartass::D I figure we never get to get to see this side of the aircraft we like.3 points

Откопал рабочий вариант последнего трейлера ЧА когда подбиралась музыка, забавно как текст лег. Смотрится немного по другому.В основном для поклонников товорчества Кинчева. Буржуины боюсь не поймут))) http://stream.ifolder.ru/132056581 point

I had the pleasure of meeting Ed Macy recently. As you know he was very impressed with our flight model. He told me that the "acid test" that he used was to trim correctly and then let the Ka-50 fly "hands off", which it did.1 point

Notes on affinity: some i7 users have reported gains when disabling hyperthreading. That's something you do in the BIOS, and if you are uncomfortable with being in the BIOS do not touch it. But it should be said that you do NOT have 8 cores. You have 8 logical cores - that is, you have 4 actual cores and with hyperthreading enabled each core can run two threads, giving the OS the appearance of 8 cores. The idea with disabling hyperthreading is that you are not dividing the actual cores into separate tasks, something that can theoretically cause single-thread applications (like DCS) to only run on half the power a given core has, and this is paramount since the gains from affinity applications like DCSMax is caused by the OS getting the freedom to move the thread to whichever core has the least load - you are not making it run on more than one core simultaneously. There are also very exhaustive tests run by Maximus_G that indicate that there are no gains in setting affinity to more than two cores.

yes definately need batteries for in flight also, or else when you dip below RPM threshold (which will happen) you could loose all electrics, instead of just the AC stuff....1 point

Woohoo! :joystick: Great to see you on here again SkieRider, really looking forward to 1.5! :D1 point

You need at least one battery or ground electric power (GEP) to initiate the start up. Two batteries are used as a redundant system (at least in the airplanes I have flown). If GEP is on (and it is by default), you can start the helo without the batteries and even fly as the generators are now powering the helo (when engines are running). So, in hope as I don't confuse you, yes, just turn on both battery switches :)1 point

dont overdrive GG .....just few foundations .... giving a glimps and also ...no, even....underlining the quality of a product (of course noone requests the source code and all secrets ...but selling eggs as gold becomes old man) :smilewink:1 point

hello, back from my hollydays in africa, flanker, i will send you this week-end some screen shots so you will be able to correct my mistakes. I am using the original files to read and copy the russian labels. When i have good picts of the pit i make less mistakes. for the 33 i have only the game file as a reference....:( so it would save a lot of time for me to have beter quality pict. thanks for your help.1 point

The main task for large area rudder is to provide yaw controllability during autorotation because twin-rotor system is not good in it. The secondary task is to assist rotors yawing at high speed. And concerning the R/C and RL planes/helos.... there is a great difference. If you scale down a plane, for example, 1/N the areas of aerodynamic elements scale down as N^2. MOIs scaled down more dramatically because the elements weight are scaled down as N^x *** and the inertia radius scaled down as N^2. So the R/C planes become very agile. *** You have to calculate it by yourselves. :) Re number is not the same as well.1 point

my understanding is that once the laser is in standby mode it is warmed up and ready to use. It then fires when you designate a target, this in effect shoots the laser onto the point and returns a range, at the same time as locking a target if the targetting system Ids one (you get the TA on ur tv camera) Having it on standby mode afaik may eventually burn it out, but we're talking 30mins ++ if at all. Excessive targetting will burn it out, if its anything like the LRF on a main battle tank (i have more experience in these so i know how they work there) specifically for the KA50 16 cycles of 10 seconds with intervals of 5 seconds in each series. which means that when you designate a target you are using one of those cycles, and the laser will return the range for a total of 10seconds before it should be cooled for 5sec Once you've used it 16times you should probably turn it off for 30mins. at least thats my understanding1 point

What you are experiencing is not a bug but a feature. It's called Automated Training Assessment Unit (in russian "Нет преступления, предназначенных, мой друг"). Since there's no two-seater trainer version of the Ka-50, some way had to be devised in which flight instructors could evaluate overall student aptitude during their first flight, from a safe distance. The ATAU is cleverly implemented as a relatively small probe situated in the bottom of the pilot's seat. It consists of a very precise accelerometer that measures force on the probe, and yields a fail-proof assessment of the pilot's suitability during a solo, AP-off hover. This accelerometer is then connected to a series of electronic equipment that activate a plasma field generator outside the helicopter located in the tip of the right winglet. The plasma field would in turn then polarize the light bouncing off the Shark's surface according to the electric signal generated by the mentioned equipment, generating a color coded response that you appreciate as "brown". This is of course fully modelled in DCS:BS. When the Red Army pilots where initially introduced to the BlackShark, they where delighted by the advanced targeting systems but expressed some concerns about the appropriateness of the mentioned instrument. Kamov's scientists then found that by using less reliable equipment in some other areas they could spare enough generator power to install a more advanced, pupil dilatation measuring device on the HMS. The airmen where much more satisfied with the enhanced prototype and the Army approved the mass production of the Hokum. When the first units got delivered to combat squadrons and the pilots found they had to keep a mental track of the times their lasers where used, during combat, and that they'd have to find a way to take a 30 minute pause in hostile airspace while their targeting equipment cooled down, Kamov's internal mail system collapsed with energic requests to bring the probe back, bigger if necessary. Kamov's top scientists where at the time quite busy figuring out a way to make a coaxial tail rotor helicopter with no main rotor, (poker bets where taken very seriously in Soviet Russia), and the job of modifying the production units was then assigned to a lower team of "interns", a management innovation introduced from the West by a then young politician with a strange forehead birth mark. The interns, of course, took the pilot's request literally and installed back the probe, never replacing the laser system. They where proud of their efficiency and developed a strong team spirit that helped them very well cope with their next assignment in deep Siberia. All this matter did not make the Red Army specially happy, they would discontinue the use of the Ka-50, and some of the more radical elements even suggested using the Ka-50 as a test probe for the now not-so-young politician ability to govern the country. Luckily for us all, the moderates triumphed and after a casual light cold, the politician was deemed not necessary any more and the world became the multi-polar paradise we enjoy today. As for the DCS:BS implementation, this feature is the reason why you must combine a series of key presses in order to force the virtual pilot to take a seat. In the default mode the pilot will stay comfortably enjoying a warm coffe in a Starbucks near Mineraln'ye Vody giving you a very slight finger every time you fly by. DCS AI is not so dumb, after all...1 point

Compared to an 8+ ton combat helicopter? Don't get me wrong, RC Helis are awesome. They just aren't a good measuring stick to use if you're trying to asses the realism of the Black Shark FM.1 point

Yes I agree That would please us Brits anyway plus ED could do a MIG 27 as follow up as I'm quite sure that would please the CIS members among us1 point

Data is exported via Lua, the same as Lock On. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?end_pos=567&scr=default&lang=en If you're able to interface with F4 SharedMem, you should have no issues with Lua sockets.1 point

well thats true. we would need TWS which the su27 is capable off. a proper datalink, etc etc etc. all that comes with that beautifull bird of modern days a proper 27et ballistic flight and much more that would blow a posting by far1 point
