I took thousands of photos while in the US Air Force. I am just posting a few.. as you can see I was in the USAF quite a few years ago.. :joystick:

There are multiple indications that you're in Hover Stabilization Mode. See them in the manual p366. Hover Stabilization Mode is hard to grasp at first. It would seem that if you engage 'auto hover' it should slow you down and keep you in the same spot. That's not the case as it is only 'Hover Stabilization Mode'. It helps to maintain a hover once you've achieved one. Required reading for hover: Flight Dynamics of Hovering(important!) p51 Transitional Flight Regimes(how to enter and exit hover and descend safely) p334 Hover Flight Indications p366 Hover Checklist p441 Hover Stabilization Mode p480 I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I'm a firm believer that it's impossible to get the most out of Blackshark without investing the time to read the manual thoroughly. I've been playing for less than a month and I hear people in multiplayer with hundreds of hours in the Blackshark asking about the use of basic systems. I feel for them that their life is so busy that they haven't had time to read the manual. After reading the manual, I found that the Producers notes brought it all together nicely. You can find video specific to the hover feature on I would strongly suggest viewing all 10 of the Producer's Notes videos thoroughly. You can find them on the ED site or here at YouTube. As someone so eloquently said in a previous post: 'Don't just read the manual and watch every video you can find.. TAKE NOTES!' :book:

I upgraded to TIR 5 with pro clip just before Christmas (well worth it for those thinking of it) As such I have my old TIR 3 with vector expansion and pro clip doing nothing and thought someone may like it. Please reply to this thread if you would like the chance to 'win' it and then I'll get my daughter to pick a post number at random and that will be the winner. Please only post if you want this for your personal use and can't afford to buy one yourself. This is to help those a little less fortunate than myself. I don't want to give it away only to see it being sold on ebay or give it to someone who can afford such items with ease. I'll choose a post on Saturday 13th - contact them via PM and then send it to them Regards JP

Bah, this one was easy in comparison to others Topol has posted :p This is a Hunting H.126, used for blown flap-testing in the early 1960's.

Yes Topol-m works for the "Cabinet Intelligence & Research Office" and has thus been fed diagrams of diffrent military hardware dating back to the first world war.;)

Last summer we manage short but great meeting for SVK Squad members. Pitty is that not everybody came. But those who were there enjoyed it and we are looking forward to next party :) I would like to share with you with some pictures. It was hard to find some for publication on the internet :) Thak you guys for your visit. Fox.

Посмотри на свою подпись - у тебя там нет ошибок? Полагаешь, что вправе претензии к ИИ предъявлять? Только не говори, что это "авторский стиль изложения".

Yeeeeeheeeeeee!!!!! :pilotfly: Thank you TFC, ED, Wags! Special thanks to all who participate in testing of v1.0 and gave so detailed Spoiler reports. With your help v1.1 is coming soon! :) Congratulations to Dogs of War team, I’m looking forward to try your campaign with my virtual squadron mates (now we are a bit busy!). S! :beer: Thank you StrongHarm! :) I would suggest that you wait for v1.1 since it will have many changes to better. But if you are too impatient, you can change only those missions and go with it.

Sorry, but you are wrong, it is actually quite easy to do so: But be aware, that this is considered as CHEATING online ;) 1.: Open your MEinit.xml 2.: look you the desired plane in this case: A-10A you will find this line <Plane CLSID="{8FDB2742-2283-450D-B417-CFC47774E8B6}" Cannon="yes" EmptyWeight="9389" HumanCockpit="yes" MaxFuelWeight="4853" MaxHeight="10000" MaxSpeed="834" MaxTakeOffWeight="21081" Name="A-10A" Rate="50" Shape="a-10" WingSpan="17.53" WorldID="17">3.: now look for the <pylons> tag you will find something like this: <pylons> <Pylon FiZ="-3.3" Number="1" Type="0" X="-0.615" Y="-0.016" Z="-6.365"> <WeaponCategory Name="PODS"> <Launcher CLSID="{6D21ECEA-F85B-4E8D-9D51-31DC9B8AA4EF}">ALQ-131</Launcher> <Launcher CLSID="{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E741}">Smoke Generator - red</Launcher> <Launcher CLSID="{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E742}">Smoke Generator - green</Launcher> <Launcher CLSID="{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E743}">Smoke Generator - blue</Launcher> <Launcher CLSID="{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E744}">Smoke Generator - white</Launcher> <Launcher CLSID="{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E745}">Smoke Generator - yellow</Launcher> <Launcher CLSID="{A4BCC903-06C8-47bb-9937-A30FEDB4E746}">Smoke Generator - orange</Launcher> </WeaponCategory> </pylon> 4.: copy the desired pylon, and rename the pylon to the next free number for the A-10 this would be 12 <Pylon FiZ="-3.3" Number="12" Type="0" X="-0.615" Y="-0.016" Z="-6.365"> </Pylon>5.: now edit the XYZ to the desired position 6.: now open Config\Planes\pylons.lua (this step is only neccessary for some planes) find the row where the A-10s pylons are defined pylons_enumeration[A_10] = {1, 11, 2, 10, 3, 9, 4, 8, 5, 7, 6}7.: now add the 12th pylon pylons_enumeration[A_10] = {1, 11, 12, 2, 10, 3, 9, 4, 8, 5, 7, 6}8.: add the desired weapons with LOPE 9.: Done, now you are a CHEATER ;)

С КАКОГО ПЕРЕПУГУ ШТОК ДОЛЖЕН "УКОРАЧИВАТЬСЯ" если после подъёма колеса ПОШ, стойка разгружается и шток под давлением азота "выходит" т.е "удлинняется"???:harhar: ладно, не "парьтесь" закрываем тему, "память" очевидно дала сбой...на фото всё видно http://znamia.ru/th/images/cms/data/su_25_1.jpg-thumb(600,800,crop).jpg всё же 15 лет прошло как "ушёл" с данного типа...

Absolutely true. I flew in a military Mi-8 simulator at MAKS 2009 and 2007 which has a similar trimming system as the Ka-50 and those springs are quite heavy (the way it should be). To give you an idea of how heavy it is, when I pressed the trim button I gave unwilling control inputs because the pressure was released very rapidly and my arms were still forcing the stick in that direction. In 2007 I still had no clue how these trim systems worked and I thought, damn...."this sucks" lol. In 2009 I had one year DCS Blackshark experience and it showed. I was flying aerobatics in a Mi-8! :D (the instructor was scared since I was not exactly gentle with the controls but heck, I had a great time!) :joystick: :D

There was S-13T prior the patch, however it was listed as S-13OF in mission editor. How is now, I don't know, but it is still listed as OF version. Either it has been silently changed to OF or has been left unfixed, because changelog does not mention S-13 at all.

I wonder is Clint Eastwood is covertly moving through Eastern Europe and towards the T-50? :)

Always a Plan to be Made.....'n Boer Maak 'n Plan! Phew.....Much too Technical :D Hellishly Expensive :D For a Constructive and Substantive Solution to the issue, in keeping with the Weekly DIY Substance my replies seem to be taking, herewith Sage advice from Yours Truly a Wee Good While ago.......

Идея в принципе интересная, но сейчас мы ее реализовывать вряд ли будем. Первая причина понятна, но есть еще и вторая: мне (лично мне) кажется, что это нужно делать более прямым, хоть и более сложным путем - то есть, нужен юнит (или даже скорее класс юнитов) соответствующего типа и функционала - ездящие и радиоизлучающие. (И в этот класс, кстати, может вписаться катапультировавшийся пилот с "Комаром", которого нужно запеленговать, найти и подобрать. И кочующая радиостанция диверсантов в своем тылу. И модель неожиданного перебазирования вертодрома.)

Ramstein Germany (1979-1982). Nato aircraft used Ramstein 24/7 - 365.

Hows about a picture of some one trying to "Screen-print" in live game and they fail.... Muuuhahahahahaaaa!!!!!!

thanks for the laughs :)

:lol: ;) All that still doesn't alleviate my surprise at the love, given the airframes available in lock on and flaming cliffs... i just didn't realise how popular simulators were in europe and such (i only speak english, because i'm a stupid australian... you know: throw another shrimp on the barbie, pass me a stubby and have a look at that sheila kind-of stuff). As my post said, i don't doubt the next thing will be a russian/soviet piece of lucas_from_hell orgasm! It's just what will it be; will it be a fast mover because ED want to eventually have a complete line of all types of military fighting aircraft, will it be a fixed-wing CAS thingy or will they (and i think they should, because black shark has seemed to make people go rotary ga-ga and helicopter simulation seems to fill a niche thats wanting... and even converts people to it!) go with a helicopter such as the Hind? Now, as my post elicited such a massive response from you, i think you should give me some rep :thumbup: ;)

Yeah well that's a way but it's not at all realistic and not at all what I'm aiming for. binoculars don't have dynamic zoom anyway. nice try xD you're gonna suggest me a tweaked enbseries for nvgs ;) ?

Given that both groups have provided quality campaigns for both single player and multiplayer, we've decided to award first prize to both teams. Congratulations! Please have your team leaders contact me via PM. Well done guys!

Playing around with HDR. :happy:

How goes the work on FC2? Can we expect to release this summer :punch:

So if you have the coords 44'45"46 in the ABRIS, you would type 044458 into the PVI Why did the 46 minutes in the coords turn to an 8? Let's look at the numbers (0)-(44)-(45)-( 8 ) 0 = Prefix to indentify the coord as positive (not a number translated form the ABRIS coords) 44 = Longitude 45 = Latitude 8 = Which is 46 minutes, divided by 60 (which is 0.76), rounded to the nearest tenth ( 76 rounds up to 8 ) Rather than using the ERBL, I like to insert a new waypoint or map point into the ABRIS as a reference. At first this took much longer than doing a quick ERBL or INFO, but now I'm so used to it that it takes no time. Plus you get perm intel on the map point like coords, time and bearing to target, elevation, range, etc. Take note that if you create a map point in the ABRIS, then translate it to a PVI NAV/TGT, when you select that NAV/TGT and uncage your shkval (turn on TV) your tracking cursor on your targeting system automatically moves to that NAV/TGT. A practical use of this would be something I experienced yesterday. There was a SAM site equipped with a radar truck, so he was able to track, target, and eliminate me very quickly. I was able to identify the origin of the missile trail coming from a bend in the road before I ejected. Once I got in a new bird I pulled up my ABRIS and found that bend in the road on the map. I plotted course waypoints (manual p231) into the ABRIS that would take me 5km from the SAM site, but behind a mountain. I marked the SAM site on the ABRIS as an INFO type map point named 'SAM' (man p253). I saved the ABRIS info and made it active. I then pulled up the info point named 'SAM' and translated the coords into the PVI (man p319). I followed my ABRIS waypoints to the ingress area behind the mountain, initiated a hover, activated NAV/TGT 2, uncaged my Shkval, and as soon as I crested the mountain I was viewing the SAM site zoomed in on my targeting system. I was able to get a lock and release within seconds.

Oh, let me tell you a story about 32-bit... Once upon a time there was a kingdom where docile farmers lived. They were ruled by old king who had only one child, a blond princess full of life. People loved her, because she lover her father, was kind to older, playful with children and generous with those that lost all in market crash. She wanted to upgrade the kingdom to 64-bit, but the old king came from a long line of royalties that did not need fans to cool them down, in fact, they used only passive brass coolers on their crowns. It was a night, and the rain was about to settle, together with all the people that it helped to lull into a deserved sleep after hard working autumn day. Old king was sitting next to a big window from where he used to watch her daughter play when she was a child. Oh, it feels like it was only a yesterday. Now she was crossing the yard, not caring that her dress is falling into brownish puddles that were receiving their last drops, cos she heard her favorite GPU being restless without any apparent reason. Just as she was about to open the cover on big tower, with her USB vacuum cleaner in her hand, Moon came out of the clouds, and reflected its face in the many puddles that were surrounding her. She turned toward the Moon with smile her eyes closed, as she was facing the Sun and trying to soak its warmth, but the bright glare from the calm guardian was abruptly cut. On the big tower, there was a dragon! The legend was true! It was the the Effsee Too! He was just as in her nightmares, only more terrifying, because he was not moving at all, with only puffs of hot air coming from his nose thrills, tearing the cold air apart, while his wings moved very slowly, making a noise like when you tear a cellophane wrap apart. And the only thing she could see was his activation number. She knew that only 64-bit potion can save her castle from burning up, and she knew where to find one... To be continued early in 2010...

Х 52 Подбитый в бою за виртуальную свободу Доброго времени суток! Прежде чем создать новую тему спрошу тут. У моего X 52 перестала работать ось X.:cry: Разобрал весь РУС и РУД, прозвонил провода, менял датчики Холла с Y. Ничего не помогло, думаю дело в микросхеме. Если кто-то сталкивался с подобной проблемой или знает как ее решить, просьба не пожалеть пары минут и отписаться. Заранее, примного благодарен. Кстати, если у кого-то валяется сломанный х-52 с другой проблемой, готов рассмотреть вариант покупки за небольшие деньги на запчасти. Джой - герой труда :joystick: , почти 2 года работал без устали. Заменил только резистор в курсовом канале.

Учитывая некоторую активность в опроснике здесь предлагаю организовать небольшую группу добровольцев с целью создания пробной карты (сетевой?). Вариант - два острова на расстоянии N километров, по паре аэродромов небольшой городок и тп. Собственно нужна активная группа людей, которые взялись бы за это нелегкое дело - с меня полная поддержка и консультация. (это не значит что я буду чтото делать за вас :) ) Нужны: - координатор - будет собственно координировать весь процесс (желательно чтобы и сам мог учавствовать) - моделлер - человек хотябы базово владеющий 3ds max, будет собирать все данные в 3d и работать с ними (на самом деле нужно только замоделить аэродром, земля будет получена почти автоматически, здания и проч. можно взять локоновские) - текстуировщик - человек со знанием фотошопа или чего другого - работа со спутниковыми фотографиями + различными текстурами. - тестер - ну собственно ясно - будет баги искать и недочеты. Предлагайте, высказывайте свое мнение.

I picked one up a while back and I'm completely happy with it and its performance, although I use mine a bit differently. I modded mine so only the pitch axis could be moved and use it as a collective controller in Black Shark (a mod that anyone could do for about $5-10). Everything else is just extra buttons. Great stick for the asking price and great way to have an affordable collective controller without having to make your own or buy an expensive controller.

Please find attached our entry into the campaign contest. Below is a breif outline of the mission. A more detailed description with mission briefings is contained in the attached Dogs Of War Campaign Document.zip file. Also contained in that file is the campaign flow as the missions are not yet linked. Also, we would like to point out a feature of the Dogs of War Campaign that is not clearly evident. Several missions in the Dogs of War campaign do contain random elements. These elements ranges from where the initial and reserve units spawn, whether air units show up to support the enemy ground troops, or where the down pilot is located. Missions that have an element of randomness are mission 1 – 7, 10, 12 (partially implemented), and 15. This was done to add some replay value to the campaign and the missions themselves. This feature is not readily apparent unless you replay the campaign or replay the missions listed above. This does not include Mission 14A and 14B which are very similar with the exception that 14B has ships that need to be dealt with.

(Can't see to edit the messgae to inclde PDF. It is listed later in this thread) Enjoy! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Dogs of War Campaign <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Campaign Type - Multiplayer Coop Campaign Number of Players - 3 -5 players, some mission "doable" with 2 and easy with 4 or more. Mission length: 1 - 2 hours Comments: Some missions have slots for up to 12 players, others only have slots for 8. Also, some missions have a secondary FARP either closer to the “front line” to facilitate re-spawn or rearming, while others have a secondary FARP further back incase primary gets overran. Some missions will require use of PVI-800 to enter NAV points. Most missions require landing and reamring. System Specs System used to perform test. Win Vista Ultimate/Win 7, Intel E8600 Core Duo, EVGA GTX 216 SC, 8 Gigs Corsair DDR3 1600 RAM. Test were done with 3 – 6 pilots. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Campaign Background In May 2008 the Indian Air Force issued a requisition proposal to purchase 22 attack helicopters to modernize and supplement their close support attack forces. Shortly thereafter this request was put on hold due to budget cuts. In November of the same year a coordinated Islamic terrorist attack in Mumbai, India’s largest city, killed 173 people and wounded at least 308. The initial speculation was the attacks originated from Pakistan. After less than 3 months of investigation Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik, in a televised news briefing, confirmed that parts of the attack had been planned in Pakistan and said that six people, including the alleged mastermind, were being held in connection with the attacks. Additional funding was immediately granted by India’s government to purchase additional air assets to improve border security and to seek and destroy militant elements along the border between Pakistan and India. Throughout 2009 U.S. forces increased their presence in both Afghanistan and Pakistan in an attempt to eliminate extremist forces at the same time India waged a similar war along their border. In Dec 2009 the American government offered military and economic incentives to India in order to improve their military and increase their effectiveness in combating terrorist forces along their border and (unofficially) into Pakistan itself. Part of this incentive package was an exchange of military technologies. India received, among other things, several UAV assets and thermal imaging devices for use for border patrols. In exchange the Indian Air Force loaned several KA-50 helicopters to US forces to expedite getting American trained pilots in the air. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>><><><><><><><><><><><><> Development Team AKA_Clutter AKA_Ramstein Topgun505 AKA_Goshawk <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Dogs_Of_War_Campaign_Document.zip
