Many thanks guys! :beer: And Happy Birthday Ross! :yay:

Was too lazy to create two separate threads so here I am... Happy Birthday Gentlemans, wish you both a clear skies and all dreams come true! Have a great time! :drunk:

^^^^ Oooh, you two! Let us turn this thread the way it's supposed to go, let's discuss MiG-29K/KUB! OK let's see, why do we have MiG-29K/KUB back in the naval business, the answer is very simple, it's been tested already by Indian Navy unlike the Su-27K (33) that saw no service outside CCCP or Russia and very little within! Even today, Naval Flankers rarely operate, and if they do they operate from a concrete runway in Severomorsk as the Kuz usually rests anchored or drydocked for overhaul. In late 90s all Su-27K were grounded by lack of spares. There's like 20-ish Su-33s which were overhauled few years ago but not upgraded. Those Flankers are not being upgraded like the MiG simply because there was no export and are in same technical upgrade state as in 1987 when entering service. The other and probably the greatest reason of MiGs instead of Sukhoi is the fact that MiG-29KUB has entered a serial production (for India) and Su-27 KUB project was scrapped in early 2000. Naval ops pilot training is possible for MiG but not for Sukhoi!

Thx a lot guys!! :thumbup: Same to you Kush, happy birthday m8 !!:pilotfly: Ross...

ONLY FOR V1.0.2 ########### Attack on Krymsk ########### The objective of this mission is to destroy the three towers and hangars at the enemy airfield. Once all the SAMs are destroyed, the attack on the airbase will be lead by SU-25’s. Our artillery will attack the southern tower and mark their positions with smoke. We expect that the enemy tanks on the airfield will attempt to attack our artillery. Despite this threat, our artillery will be protected and supported by tanks who will take part in the offensive. Several fuel trucks of major tactical importance are parked on the airfield. It is expected that these trucks will attempt to escape via convoy as soon as the airfield has been abandoned. Prevent this convoy from escaping. Supporting ground units are stationed in the north and are expected to support the airfield. If SAMs are located between these units, they must be destroyed so the final airstrikes can be launched. ############## Black Gold of Anapa ############## Over the last months the INOCO (India Oil Company) has evolved into one of the largest competitors to ARAMCO (Arabian-American Oil Company). After an extended legal dispute regarding the oil-production and oil-refinery in Anapa, the INOCO has decided to take the initiative. Apparently, they bribed a General of the Russian Army to obtain access to military equipment and have built their own private army from these resources. While the exact strength and size of this army is unknown, the INOCO was able to force Anapa and its surrounding areas to submit to their control. It is our job to ease the pressure between both sides in this delicate situation. ######### Convoyhunting ######### We are in a canyon surrounded by enemy SAMs. The enemy has taken control of our forward FARP#2 and the neighboring villages. An approaching enemy convoy was spotted behind the canyon. The convoy is transporting small parts and propellants to produce missiles at the weapon factory in Mestia. ############ Defense of Batumi ############ Our airfield is under attack by artillery from the southwest. Destroy both the artillery and the incoming tanks from the southwest and east. Check all bridges in the area of enemy units. ############### Defense of Gelendzhik ############### Satellite intelligence reveals that the enemy has used the darkness of night to advance to a position dangerously close to our airbase. They have established a FARP behind the hills to the southeast and are operating from this position. An enemy artillery position has recently been located southeast of our airbase. We fear that they might attack at the break of dawn. They will probably target our two oiltankers in the bay of Gelendzhik. We will attempt a preemptive attack on their FARP to prevent them from launching their own attack against our assets. ######### Gudauta Rush ######### Enemy troops crossed the border a few days ago. They overran Gudauta-airport and are occupying the area. Four hostile HAWK-sites are located in the mountains north of Gudauta. The sites are controlling the airspace around Gudauta. The strength of our ground forces is extremely limited due to fierce combat at the airbase. The majority of hostile tank forces are located north of Gudauta (Satelite picture), where they are awaiting urgent fuel and munitions delivery. We have intel that reinforcements for these forces are on the way. One Il-76 "Candid" currently departed Sochi-Adler and will arrive at Gudauta. We expect that an armored supply-convoy will advance from the airport to the tank-forces. The convoy has to be destroyed before it arrives to reinforce the tank forces! Operation "Gudauta-Rush" is underway! First we have to achieve air-superiority and conduct large airstrikes on enemy ground units. As soon as the route to Gudauta has been cleared our ground task force "Stryker" will depart and occupy Gudauta airport. ########## Hamburger Hill ########## Over the course of several decades, tensions between the USA and Russia have increased dramatically. Both adversaries have concentrated their troops at the border. The USA stationed several fighter squadrons at the airport of Nalchik and established a "FARP Torba" near the border river. The USA intends to provide security to the regions surrounding their airbase. Russia has answered with an equal number of aircraft, all of which are stationed at the airport of Mineralnye Vody. In addition, their FARP Kalitka was constructed close to the border river as well. It's just a matter of time until this volatile situation will escalate into a full scale armed conflict... ######## HINDnapping ######## To monitor and eliminate rebel activity in the area, we established a forward FARP as a base of operations for four HINDs (Mi-24v). The area characterized by rebel activity is marked red in the ABRIS. Our intelligence reports an increasing rebel threat in the region. We fear that the hunter will be the hunted and the rebels will attack our forward FARP. ########### NightHawkHunter ########### Four enemy F-117 Nighthawks were damaged in combat and were forced to conduct emergency landings at the airport Nalchik. The F-117's are waiting for spare parts to arrive. With intent to destroy the F-117's, we have found a loophole allowing us to bypass the airport defenses. The airfield is protected by three HAWK-positions, rendering an attack by aircraft impossible. However, two of the three HAWK-positions only cover the airspace 150m above the deck. If we destroy the third HAWK-position, we can fly below their radar and attack the airport. The mission is divided into two phases. Phase 1: - Destroy the third HAWK-position and set up an advanced service point to rearm and refuel. Phase 2: - Approach the airport Nalchik and destroy the four F-117 Nighthawks. ############ Operation Bigfoot ############ Enemy troops crossed the border and are operating from four camps situated high in the mountains. In these camps, HAWK sites were constructed to control the airspace surrounding the camps. During the night, enemy forces moved forward and seized more terrain. We expect the enemy to advance even further, ultiamtely aiming to capture a strategically important chemical plant. Our task force "Hero" will depart the airfield "Mineralnye Vody" in a few minutes to defend the chemical plant. You must hold the enemy units back until the task force arrives. ############ Operation Pushback ############ A few days ago, the enemy crossed the border and advanced into the city of Alakhadzy, located just north of the river. By taking the city, the enemy is dangerously close to our FARP. The river is their last obstacle and the only remaining bridge was seized by the enemy. Our troops are ready to counterattack. ############# Operation Umbrella ############# According to recent intelligence, a large enemy tank-division is currently garrisoned in a base south of Krasnodar. If we manage to destroy this tank division, the tide of the war will be turned in our favor. The base is protected by a network of Early Warning Radar (EWR) systems called "Umbrella". Because of these installations, we cannot send in an airplane undetected. Ground troops are too slow and ineffective in the rough terrain, rendering them useless for destroying the tank division. To defeat these defenses, we need a NOE (Nap of the Earth) flight profile that will allow us to advance on their positions undetected and thus maintain the element of surprise. The enemy knows of our Ka-50 fleet and assumes that they are not properly equipped for night missions. Despite their assumption, our night vision capabilities will teach them a lesson when we catch them with their pants down! The enemy will never expect a night attack! The attack will have two phases: Phase 1: - Sneak in close to the "Umbrella"-EWR-stations and destroy the installations. Phase 2: - Advance into the enemy territory and destroy the tank-division. ##### Outpost ##### We established a FARP northwest of Majkop. Inteligence reports that the enemy will attempt to push us back to Majkop, hence overrunning our newly established FARP. To monitor enemy movement in the area, we have stationed four outposts to the north. ########### Rookie Terrorists ########### Yesterday, a group of local militia assaulted and captured a delivery of discarded military vehicles. Several BRDM, MTLB and T-55 have fallen into enemies hands, among them five Stinger-MANPADs. Two days ago, this same group also captured six red-blue trucks loaded with explosives. They have recently declared themselves as a terrorist organization and have threatened to use these trucks in an upcoming bomb attack. We must find and destroy these trucks before they can be used as terrorist weapons. Our intelligence has located the terrorist camp near a mountain lake. The road leading to the camp features six bridges that have been turned into terrorist checkpoints with the stolen military equipment. ########### Hardcore Terrorists ########### Three days ago the mission "RookieTerrorists" was initiated but failed to accomplish its objectives. A group of local militia captured and stole numerous military vehicles and explosive-rigged, red-blue transport trucks. After acquiring a substantial military force, they declared themselves as a terrorist organization and have threatened to use their explosive-rigged trucks for a terrorist attack. We tried to find and destroy these explosive trucks before they can be used against us in a terrorist attack. Intelligence indicates that the terrorists have established an encampment near a lake in the mountains. To defend their outpost, the terrorists established armed checkpoints at six bridges that run along a road leading to the camp. We initiated an assault on these positions but our forces were forced to retreat. Our FARP was later overran after our ground forces retreated to a safer location. We underestimated the enemy but this will never happen again!

(Этот столб был переведен BabelFish поэтому вероятно трудно прочитать. Если вы предпочитаете прочитать первоначально английскую версию, то см. ниже) Привет всем, Вы можете пропустить объявление нового применения для черной вызванной акулы TouchPal (главная резьба о ей спрятана прочь в английском форуме регуляторов игры здесь). Сказовая новая программа Gadroc основанным на моих старых профилях TouchBuddy, и оно позволяет вы показать это на втором экране: Если вы имеете монитор экрана касания после этого, то вы можете активировать все кнопки путем касатьться им, если не после этого вы можете как раз щелкнуть их с мышью. Все кнопки и света соединены к sim через LUA и все еще полно - функционально за исключением цифрового дисплея CMS (который может показать вашу текущую программу но не число пирофакелов оставая) и цифровой дисплей PVI-800 (которого Gadroc не могл ехпортировать данные для но). Если вы имеете запасной монитор, то я ободряю вас попробовать его - огромное перескакивание вперед от моих профилей TouchBuddy и оно делает контролирующ черную акулу много более легким (и больше потехи :)). Приветственные восклицания, DD P.S. Если любые ванты ED прочитали это, то я был бы очень признательн для некоторых подсказок на правильно синтаксисе для ехпортировать цифровые дисплеи CMS и PVI-800. Если не возможно извлечь эти данные в настоящее время, то там любой шанс вы ванты смогли добавить эту функциональность в заплате? P.P.S. Если любое хотел было бы сделать русскую версию после этого, то я был бы счастлив делить графические файлы источника. -------------------------------------- Hi all, Some of you may have missed the announcement of a new application for Black Shark called TouchPal (the main thread about it is hidden away in the English Game Controllers forum here). It's a fantastic new program by Gadroc based on my old TouchBuddy profiles, and it enables you to display this on a second screen: If you've got a touch screen monitor then you can activate all the buttons by touching them, if not then you can just click them with a mouse. All the buttons and lights are linked to the sim via lua and everything else is fully functional with the exception of the digital CMS display (which can display your current program but not the number of flares remaining) and the digital PVI-800 display (which Gadroc hasn't been able to export the data for yet). If you have a spare monitor, I encourage you to give it a go -it's a huge leap forward from my TouchBuddy profiles and it makes controlling the Black Shark a lot easier (and more fun :)). Cheers, DD P.S. If any ED guys read this, I'd be very grateful for some tips on the correct syntax for exporting the digital CMS and PVI-800 displays. If it isn't possible to extract this data atm, is there any chance you guys could add this functionality in a patch? P.P.S. If anyone would like to make a Russian version then I'd be happy to share the source graphics files.

Happy Birthday mate. Case says, "I feel like a newborn baby." "Really? Like a newborn baby?" "Yep, no hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants." :drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk:

С годиком Вас!:)

Flew this last night for the first time, and loved it, well done! What I appreciate the most are the units not involved with the mission, i.e. the FA-18s, the C-130, the Apache, that really increases the immersion. Both Chinooks made it, but one was shot up pretty bad. ED did a phenomenal job with the damage models, a piece of the Chinook's fuselage was missing, and you can see clear through it to the inside of the cabin, amazing! Here are some screenshots: The Apache enroute. This is one of the best 3D models in BS! On our way back, one of the Chinooks shot up A close up of the shot up Chinook Close to home turf, over friendly territory, with the Chinooks now behind us. The Apache back on the ground, parked next to my wingman A Photoshopped (to add depth of field) image of one of the FA-18s Finally, a short video showing the amazing damage model on the Chinook (if you don't already have it, you will need the XVID codec) Open video. Thanks for a great mission!

The Uber II NXT and FSSB are excellent mods, both of which I own. Be aware however that these mods are totally optional. Don't get me wrong, modding a Cougar is great! Using an NXT or FSSB modded Cougar is awesome and yields a HOTAS in a class all by itself. The point I am making here is that there is absolutely not a requirement to MOD a stock Cougar by spending large amounts of cash. If you want or need to address any possible wear issues to prolong the life of your stock Cougar and minimize the chance of increased center play over time you also have two very low cost options for that: 1: Open the stick twice per year and clean out the old grease and re-grease. This will remove the older grease and with it any metal particles caused by galling and by extension reduce wear to a minimum. (Takes about 10 minutes) 2: Buy 50 cents worth of Mylar and a pair of 2 cent staples or splurge and go for 5 dollars worth of hobby brass and you can be finished with it. Pretty much no serious wear will occur if you do either of these DIY mods and instead of paying 400USD on a mod you can all but eliminate the issue for the whopping cost of 54 cents or 5 bucks.:smilewink: I have many friends and squad mates that have not even bothered to do this much to their stock Cougars and have been very happy with theirs for quite some time. Enjoy your Cougar! Out

Well Guys. I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous piece of cold steel. It's big, black and comes in 2 parts. It's a Thrustmaster Cougar. It finally arrived at 15:35BST on Thursday. Believe me when i say this but it's the best Joystick I've owned and is only the second HOTAS I've had. The first being 104th_Polecat's old Thrustmaster F-22 Pro and F-16 TQS that I've had since my Saitek ST-200 broke on me at the beginning of the year. Check out the photo's for a comparison. (ignore the datestamp on the photo's. took these pics after changing the battery on the camera and didn't bother changing the date.)

Gelukkige verjaardag Kees !! Ross..

Su-33 and weapons (R-27,R-73):gun_smilie:

I am not sure that you are right that a "folded-up" Su-33 takes less space than the MiG-29K, but you are right that its about the same. However, the effort by Sukhoi was not to give the Su-33 a smaller footprint than the MiG-29K, but simply not to exceed it.....thereby removing an obvious argument against the Su-33. ......system wise yes(since the Su-33 systems are virtually the same as those of the Su-27). The airframe re-design from Su-27 to Su-33 was quite radical though, but then that had already been completed and passed state trials before the break-up of the Soviet Union. So I think you are right that the main reason for selecting the Su-33 over the MiG-29K was the daunting prospect of dealing with the advanced systems of the MiG-29K in a post-Soviet Russia where funds for military acquisitions just weren't available. Yes IIRC it was 240 km/h for the Su-33, while it was 250 km/h for the MiG-29K. ....or similar to the Su-27KUB :) - the Su-27SM may be a great step forward in comparison with the initial Su-27, but the upgrade still involves an upgrade to the old N001 radar, while the Su-27KUB prototypes were tested with the Zhuk-MS and later the Zhuk-MSF(phased array) radars :) . Anyway, although the economy of Russia is very different today than it was back in the early 90' ies, I think the recent announcement to go for the MiG-29K/KUB still has a lot to do with cost - the situation with the Su-33 and MiG-29K is almost the reversed of what it was last time around.....now it is the MiG-29K that is the most cost effective solution because the development/production cost is shared with India and spread over more units, while further development of the Su-33 would have to be carried by Russia alone.....unless China has serious plans with the Varyag :) .

Поскольку мы имеем дело с цифровыми устройствами, то и сигнал от любого цифрового устройства имеет дискретность, ступенчатость. Но эта ступенчатость может задавться как 2 точками вкл/выкл, так и миллионами. В акуле джойстик от края до края имеет 400 точек. Джойстик СН имеет собственную дискретность 255. Некоторые джойстики имет 1000 точек. Больше точек-точнее позиционирование, но и больше нагрузка на процессор.
