Спасибо, за участие. Появилось немного времени. Вот кое-чё покажу. Так сказать work in progress.

No, the laser rangefinder is never active for a prolonged period of time. It only 'blinks' to measure the distance between you and the point you are pointing at with your Shkval. It doesn't matter if you lock a target, or not. The reason you see distance number change even after the lase is because the computer can approximate the distance betweeen you and the point shkval is pointing to based on the last range measurement. BTW Shkval doesn't know if the target is destroyed, the reason you lost lock on destroyed target is because the computer cannot find it visual signature. The same will happen if target moves behind a cover. No, uncaging shkval will not activate you laser. But pressing your target designate button will. You can use your target designate button without actualy locking a target. Just point on a ground with Shkval and click designate. If you'll see a number on your tv screen, than the ragefinder laser was used to measure the distance.

i'll probably edit

The rangefinder laser doesn't really fire except very briefly (0.5 sec? It's like a photograph, it's not really "on" like the oven) every time a rangerfinder taking is commanded. The only time a rangefinder taking is commanded is: Lock Target button on cyclic is pressed while Shkval is uncaged Shkval is uncaged while the HMS is in use Special cannon employment with laser rangefinding but not auto-tracking which no one uses (I think) So you can have the rangefinder happen without a "TA" lock. Simply designating the ground such that "X.X" shows up in the bottom center of the TV screen will employ the laser. You can tell if your laser is toast if you try to get a range and fail. It doesn't require a tank to lock onto you can simply press the Lock button on the cyclic when pointing the Shkval at any old piece of dirt. For rockets the computer will take the range and adjust the aiming mark on the HUD. For a long range shot the mark will be very low so you have to pitch the helicopter up to get it onto your target. Aiming up = longer range.

Anyway, I'm glad things like LEAVU finally come to life...If 3rd party mods like this find their way into future DCS modules me can really expect awesome simming in the future! Now the main task is to make it accepted to available MP servers. With lots of doubting Thomas' I've seen...it gonna be hard!

Hey guys. Time for a new edit now as it has been a while since I posted one. This time it is the Slovak Air Force 2002 display aircraft, the Mig-29A 6829. But as far as I know this aircraft collided the same year killing the pilot. Hope you like it. Screenshot is out of Lock On.

Oh no, not again... See you in 2010, hopefully with the answer :D

Т.е. сейчас, дуэль Су-27 с Р-27ЭР, к примеру, и МиГ-29С с Р-77, будет выглядеть примерно так: Су-27 издалека может пустить Р-27ЭР, но не сможет ее сопроводить до цели, потому как сразу после пуска МиГом Р-77 ему надо будет отвернуть на 3-9 и отстреливать диполи пачками, а лучше - на все 180 разворачиваться и бежать. Так?

Nice. Yes, the hat is from the single-tracking. I'd definitely cover it with something. In the beginning I had the problem that my TIR lost my head's position when looking down, looking up was nice though. This happens because the field of view extended well above my head, but I the reflection was already faint when looking only a bit down - a real PITA for BlackShark. After bending the reflectors up as a temporary fix, I came up with an alternative: These flexible plastic-tubes are covered with the same reflector of the TrackIR-Clips. I cut them in 2.5cm parts and simply stuck them over the reflectors. Works perfect even on extreme angles. Edit: Check out this site for a UK-distributor. I think these are the same as posted above, just from 3M, not no-name as in the picture I posted. ;)

F4 was always in the process of 3rd party development and it was always the best game in town for jets... over the years of packs and super packs, it went through lots of growing pains for many years.. the dynamic campaign still is looked upon as one of the best ever... also Falcon 4 was really user friendly for computers and did not take as many reources are other sims did. I can't think of one bad thing to say about F4, with all the offical and unoffiacal addons, mods, patches, tweaks, maps, and the list is too expansive.. it was the best bargain and the manual was second to none.. thank the thousand sof hours and 3rd parties for bringing it from a 1998 follow up from Falcon 3 to the evolution into F4 Allied Force and the rest of the free addons that had countless flavors and also developed some of the best online flying... at this time Frugal's website is down, as he will have it back up soon, he says, until then, the best F4 resource is? I don't know,, as Frugals was/is the best for all things Falcon 4. :thumbup:

Just put a strip of non-reflective tape over it. The TrackIR analyzes reflections depending on size. Depending on the angle and other heatsources, it is possible that the original reflectors make a smaller reflection than the clip in the middle, resulting in jittering or your TIR going wild. Just a personal observation: I wouldn't bend the arms with the reflectors. It seems you bent down the two front reflectors to fit your hat, but that can have negative side-effects. Considering the reflectors themselves are rounded around a vertical axis, you have now 3 different reflection-effects, one for each reflector depending on your head-angles. In the worst case, one of your reflectors might reflect at maximum brightness, while at least one might be pointed in such a way that the reflection falls below the minimum size. In combination with the additional reflector in the middle, this might be causing you a lot of troubles.

Well Grimes, overall thats right. My personal believes are, as long it goes for simulations, you should try to simulate the most real scenario possible. And if possible THIS in a balanced way. Arcadian compromises are really not my goals. But all that good and fine..i have bigger concerns. Back in days we had Mods, F14s shooting 54s around, we had tacview life monitoring, we had certain other mods, we had CLISD swapings..i dont know what else...the list goes on and on..and i dont wanna even recall all of it.......sick of it... Then LRM came and caused many discussions, but the good part about LRM was, the HOST could dictate what settings matter. The client was depending on that. With LEAVU everything changes. Not only that only people who own a 2nd monitor or a MFD-device can benefit from it, no, as that wouldn´t be enough, whose who use it can use it undetected, indepentend from serversettings, accessing externaly in the events of the host and generate a whole new data-network. Even the new file-check in 2.0 based on md5 or crc will not change it. A filechecking tool might check the files, but it cant track a external data-net work creating a total new "awacs-like" picture if you will for those who are using and connected with it. I have heart argumentations like 08.12.2009 05:25:25 xxxxx> TIR is not a global thing for all to use either ..." "08.12.2009 05:25:36 xxxxx > would you consider it a cheat to use it against someone who doesn't have one ? :)" "08.12.2009 05:25:52 xxx > a road is not illegal, driving too fast is" "08.12.2009 05:25:54 xxx > thats all i saty" "08.12.2009 05:43:56 xxx > im giving it away for free and you can block the people using it from your server thats your choice" [color=red]EDIT:[/color] [color=red]that s not true because leavu does not care about server settings, it shares the network between the clients[/color] [color=red]it is also wrong, that leavu can only share data, delivered by your wingman´s radar who is using same tool in same time.[/color] "08.12.2009 05:44:04 xxx> if you find it offensive AS" "08.12.2009 05:44:10 xxx > for me I like having clickable pit :)" "08.12.2009 05:44:15 xxx > Thanks" . . . "08.12.2009 05:44:26 A.S > no offense...valid question about misusage and security" "08.12.2009 05:44:29 A.S > As YOU KNOW" "08.12.2009 05:44:31 A.S > by yourself" "08.12.2009 05:44:33 A.S > ;)" "08.12.2009 05:44:39 xxx > well AS" "08.12.2009 05:44:41 xxx > tell that to ED" "08.12.2009 05:44:50 xxx > I cant do more than allow to block it" "08.12.2009 05:44:52 A.S > ah..i see..go ED now huh? ok" "08.12.2009 05:44:52 xxx > its not possible" "08.12.2009 05:44:57 xxx > mathematically impossible" or using TS is also an external tool ..etc etc..etc but those arguments are not compareable. Using devices is one story, using an application which can read-out and generate a whole new data-structure not meant to be in the core of the game (speaking of "balance") is something totally different. I dont understand why this is so hard to understand. Just because its cool? ..I dont know. It is promoted, that it is used to "produce" datalinks only but the problem is you can use it for way waay waay more. To my question in post http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=42942&page=47 So Leavu supports displaying your flight (wingmen) ? Do i understand that right? you get the answer Simulating key commands is not required. LEAVU has a direct lua input bus through ERI radar :) LEAVU sends "X,Y\n" to ERI, and if X and Y are numbers, it is interpreted as LoSetCommand(X,Y) Havent tested it yet though. Could be interesting! I give you one analogy what might help understand. Lets assume i give you a program, what allows you to fly with "easy radar" despite server settings, and it would allow you full picture of everything airborne including the missiles, would you use it? Honestly would you use it? Lets assume this program is called LEAWOW and its setted in such a way, that you only have datalink, in case of you dont change the settings of course? So would you change and use it? or are you just a good guy sharing a new program like i did it in this hypothetical example? To make it even worse, this developement comes from DevTeam supporters as an 3rd party application, and i really do wonder why there is no conflict of interest between DEV core and DEV supporters regarding the community feedbacks and the risk this provides. I hope the moderators dont get angry about this post seeing it as offtopic or such, but soo many voices are expressed by many meanwhile (as you can see in other posts too) but the main question is either ignored or unclear distracted. Sorry to say that...for me this is a clear (even made in good will) cheating-application. If you want to call it cheat or MOD....i dont know..up to everyone himself. And if you ask about the risks, the answer i got was ..."i use what i can, if it is not save, go ED and tell them to block it" ..kinda.. Well...i just did :) i hope.

You can't force people to fly or play a game a certain way. You can subtly reward them or nudge the idea that playing a certain way will create better results, but unfortunately that isn't entirely possible or even true. People will naturally gravitate to the most powerful, effective, or favorite aircraft to fly. One could reward realistic flying by a stats engine, yet it wont have much effect those who don't care about stats. Each pilot has their own personal goals, be it to shoot something down, to simply survive, or to do both. You can realistically model the game as much as you want but people will still take off from taxiways, spam missiles, and other "unrealistic" tactics many advocates of online realism preach against.

Hihi....good one....you have two directional options 1 is you go full real 2 is you go full Hawx balance? balance what? .......you choose :lol:

Hey Frazer, I just watched you're show now as I was unable to watch it on the weekend due to streaming issues. I thought it was pretty obvious that the crash at the end of your performance was planned. I think that it is kind of weird that other people would think differently. I think people were just trying to start rumors. It was the exact same ending as your previous shows. Besides, you already landed before the crash. All that aside, excellent performance and I thought you made the shark dance very nicely to the music. :thumbup:

" Hawk109 " и в правду, всё просто :doh:, 1. стоило просто ещё раз скопировать файл с моей картой " PILOT-RUS-G01.tga " и переименовать его на " PILOT-USA-G01.tga " и 2. Кинуть Файл : " PILOT-USA-G01.tga " в папку : C:\Program Files\1C\Lock On 1.1\Bazar\TempTextures\PILOT-USA-G01.tga И у пилотов " A-10 " и " F-15 " тоже появилась моя карта-планшет на коленях ! УРА !!! :pilotfly: PS: Вот только я пока так и не получил файл исходник " PILOT-USA-G01.tga " с оригинальными штанами " F-15 " и " A-10 ", а мне это го бы весьма хотелось ... ! PS: Сверху всё подписал !!! .

I dont have it too often - but it can happen as I light up a cigarette (bad habbits, I know), the sun hits interupts my TIR - or if I move around into extreme positions in my chair. I think this is mainly because TIR interprets the new positions - and then assigns it to the cockpit. Sometimes it can be our of range for the cockpit position / seating I guess. The extreme seating positions can possibly be avoided if you tune down your TIR setup - ranges - a bit. The light intrusion possibly cannot be avoided - TIR is doomed to misinterpret if the builtin filter cannot handle those extremly bright light sources. Oh, and check for other random lightsources behind you - I did have a lamp behind me at some stage. When someone passed it and it lit up again (from TIR point of view) it distrupted my TIR quite much. Use the View->"Tracking" monitor to check for intrusion when this happens - keep it running so you can monitor the situation.

RED "Homer"(Ka-50) entered the mission :D

Thanks

thank you very much...
