Or, perhaps the other way around... :shocking:

Honestly, I don't have any information, if it was designed specifically to fool NVG equipment. There were experiments with camouflage patterns designed to make user literally invisible while observed through night vision, one of the most famous was the US Desert Night Camo http://www.factsurplus.co.uk/images/10247_orig.jpg Supposedly it worked real miracles, but only with I and maybe II Gen devices, more modern goggles had higher resolution and negated the whole effect, so the pattern was dropped from the army. Another thing is that, there are slightly different considerations for the pattern to be effective in visual light or in infrared light. For the first, you need the right colour and shape. For the latter you need the right materials, like paint and fabric. I remember one instance, when during the '50s or '60s there was an infantry uniform reinforced with some flame retardant fabric, like asbestos. A good idea, apart from the fact that asbestos is toxic and causes cancer, but the real surprise was that, the new uniform glowed like headlights of a truck in infrared light :D The new uniforms were quickly dropped in favor of the old design. However, there are some notable differencies between camouflage rules for land forces and aircraft. As for infantry and vehicles, you may be surprised, but studies have shown, that the best night camo is the same as worn during daylight, in terms of masking user in visible light. All the blue, black and grey patterns are for Hollywood, because they actually make you more visible during night, than standard day patterns. And the day pattern depends on the surroundings: green for temperate, yellow for desert and white for snow (in general, as there are some variations and additional considerations to this simplified division). As for the aircraft, the matter is more complicated, because you have to take into account not only the surrounding (like time of year or land/sea), but also the altitude it will be operating on. There are different patterns for low level attack planes and different for hi-alt bombers and fighters. One interesting example showing an effort to combine both effects in one pattern, were camo schemes of Bf-109's. Upper surfaces were painted in splitter camo, to conceal plane while on the ground and in low level flight, where most likely it would be observed by the enemy from above. At he same time, side and lower surfaces were painted in light blue-grey, to help blend aircraft with the sky at high altitudes, because there it was reasonable to suppose, that the enemy will see them there from aside or from below. Another really interesting story are camo schemes for night bombers and night fighters. At first they were painted all black, but it was soon dropped, because black upper surfaces were fantastically visible while put against clouds. That's while upper wings and fuselage were started to be painted in various lighter camo patterns. As for the black paint, it was really good in hiding planes under black night sky. Over a certain altitude you were totally invisible, no matter how strong would be the search lights on the ground (although that didn't applied so well to enemy night fighters, because they always could close the distance to a point, that they could see black silhouette against dark navy-blue sky). It's a really really long story when it comes to aircraft camouflage, with all the countershadowing, blending vs. fooling, special schemes (like white anti-flash) and quick ID marks and more like that. As for the pixel camo, it was mainly designed to overcome a certain property of traditional camo patterns, which makes them effective only at a specific distance. Patterns with small elements are good in close quarters, but stand out at longer distances. Patterns with large elements do the opposite. But pixel patterns (and flecktarn German pattern before it) have the quality to combine both effects. At close you see chaotic pixels, but at long distance the single pixels become organised in larger patern, that still works well. It works just like fractals or modern computer graphics do: no matter what zoom you'll set, the image always looks good.

good evening, here a new SKIN, is the SKIN of 127Th Sibйrian Tiger squadron (French) clic to picture for Downloads,or on our site (after registration) installation with Modman

I am very happy to announce we have a set of new skins for the Typhoon and a big damage model update on the VEAO Eurofighter Typhoon. First the skins. Shaggy has done some awesome work on RAF, Austrian AF, Luftwaffe (German) and Italian AF skins for the Typhoon. I'll shut up and let the pictures do the talking.... RAF Austria Luftwaffe (Germany) Italy Secondly Crow has done some more awesome work on the damage model, but I won't ruin the suprise and post any screenshots and will let you find out in the upcoming new mod. The updated mod will be out in the New Year so keep checking this post for updates. Thirdly, Ripper has nearly completed the Hawk which will allow us to launch the Air Combat Training School in 2010. More details to come early in the New Year. Thanks, Ells.

I know there are several other quality checklists out there, but I've been working on mine for a while and thought I'd throw it out here to see if anyone else finds it useful. This document is a work in progress, but the start-up checklists should be pretty solid. Below is a list of items I'm still working on. Performance data/reference Autopilot operation reference Additional Emergency cards (in-flight fire, etc.) Weapons Employment reference (Vikhr, etc.) Mission briefing template I know folks on this forum aren't very open about their opinions:megalol: but your feedback would be very much appreciated, positive and especially negative. Feel free to post them here or PM me with your suggestions and criticism. FM-Ka50-CL-H5.pdf

еще в настройках карты в разделе микрофона через кантрл панель есть галочка усиление микрофона...

Поиграйся с аппаратным ускорением звука. А возможно проблема именно с гарнитурой.

Let's get ready to rumbleeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Where are the chicks!?? No chicks? No lapdance? :furious: I want my post back!

От пивка не откажемся Senior Member! :beer:

And what is the extension pack on the F-16 for? Is is a hamster mod?

^^^ The vet is coming to check out this perverted dog :doh:

Is this a 1000 post only thread or is anyone welcome ?

I want some more...

hello, everybody. two news on that mod, the good one is that the mod is working without problem. the bad one is that the beta tester are doing such a great work that i have much work to do than expected :smartass: I am flying today to africa for a 15 days hollyday. I take my computer and i will correct theses :doh:hundreeds cyrillic mistakes. So a bit of delay on the mod, but don't worry, during chrismas the shop still open....:thumbup: for the beta testers (they will reconise themselves, i will conect myself in case you send me new files ) cheers

Hello, I am using Windows 7 x64 on ASUS N50VN laptop, and DCS haven't crashed on me even once. Please check your system drivers and BIOS updates. I really recommend to find update for your BIOS (I had unstable graphics x64 driver before update), and then set BIOS to best default system setttings (safe ones). This might help.

I have yet to see a laptop run it without a significant struggle..

Однозначно за треки. Видео это, конечно, во многом удобно, но не серьезно и не полноценно. Мое ИМХО - Треки и только треки:) С детальным рассмотрением особенностей каждого ЛА и его систем. Пусть это отложит дату выхода на несколько месяцев, но это будет того стоить. С учетом новых возможностей и других нововведений, мощная обучающая часть просто необходима.

It is a really, really old screenshot of a bugged pre-release version of Lockon. I can remember seeing it being talked about on the UBI forums back in 2003.
