Mumble is a great, open source, alternative to the likes of Teamspeak and Ventrillo. It's lacked any integration with DCS games until now. I've started work on a plugin that does stuff similar to TARS, but for mumble rather than teamspeak. At the moment it only does UHF radios, and it's totally untested. I'm hoping to get some testing done tonight. It's available here: https://github.com/tjhowse/MumbleDCS , along with all the source and setup instructions. This is version 0.1, I'm planning to continue work on it until it's comparable to TARS in functionality. Donations welcome.

Oh didn't ready the topic... Kinda stupidly assumed that it was about jet fuel hehe. I'll go sit in my corner again now :music_whistling:

hello GG, First of all sorry I missed two pages of the discussion, I guess a time zone problem; but I think indeed you misinterpreted somewhat my post. I am not making claims about the PAK-FA. And certainly not that there is some magical trick there unknown to us, since that would be rather a non-statement. In fact I do not really want to reject that canting fins or hiding fan blades or making facetted and aligned planes can contribute to stealth. As a matter of fact, this is precisely what Boeing is proposing for the Silent Eagle. I just wanted to warn that these external indications that we tend now to use to judge the stealth properties of an aircraft rather help to judge whether an aircraft is of a particular geenration rather than really assessing stealth. A canted fin CAN contribute to stealth, but you have to do massive calculations to know how you have to cant and align it to get an overall relevant RCS reduction. If simply applying these rules of thumb would generate a stealth plane, than the whole competition would be fielding these types of aircraft with ease. Which is not the case. Conversely, I would be rather surprised that Russian engineers would be developping Pak-Fa, considering the massive calculations and anechoic chamber visits it presumes, and afterwards would discover "heck, we all forgot about the simple rule of hiding the fan blades, so our plane isn't stealthy!" That just doesn't make sense. So we may be puzzled at best why we still see the blades, but it doesn't learn us much.

Anyone who says visual aspects don't play into a realistic study sim is just being a crotchety old fart. Visual feedback is one of the most important aspects of flying any aircraft. If all you care about is flipping switches, why not just go enjoy this: http://sites.google.com/site/samsimulator1972/ (Shoot me now.) What's really the difference, without the visual aspect?

Если считать на сервере, то и хозяин ракеты и цель будут видеть не корректную траекторию, в зависимости от пинга и задержек.

Итак, оглашаю "весь список пожалуйста" в порядке живой очереди: 1. джонсмитт (А-10С + Ка-50) 2. object34 (А-10С + Ка-50) 3. Painbeaver (А-10С) 4. maestro35 (А-10С + Ка-50) 5. Eponsky_bot (А-10С + Ка-50) 6. Seaswift (А-10С + Ка-50) 7. SK (А-10С + Ка-50) 8. LISA (Ка-50) 9. Chizh 10. GAZ-67 (А-10С + Ка-50) 11. pan2 12. 4Runner (А-10С + Ка-50) 13. Yo-Yo Если пропустил кого, не волнуйтесь, книжек хватит всем! :)

A "few" from flying tonight....

Feature update 30/08 See original post for update news...

I mentioned it one of my posts. I can consider myself an SME as far as this goes: The F-15E's undergone, in the last five years, two major revisions and upgrades - Suite 5 and Suite 6. Suite 6 notably had the larger impact as it introduced JHMCS to the front cockpit (Suite 7 will introduce it to the back) and allowed capability of Small Diameter Bombs (wheee!) and the AN/ASQ-236 radar mapping pod. There's oodles of other features that both suites introduced, such as the replacement of the 8mm VTRS for a DVR (the 8mm player itself is being deprecated in Suite 7 IIRC), as well as the obligatory secret squirrel kind of stuff. Regardless, the point is the pilots need to learn this stuff. I've used the simulator that Boeing offered as a 'trainer' and it's really not the most impressive thing I've seen. Now the argument could be that Boeing's offering is good enough, but given how lackluster that thing was (it basically focused only on the core features of the new upgrade, with zero integration with older avionics) I definitely see a fat juicy contract for the F-15E in the future, especially if AETC was pleased with ED's offering for the A-10C. I've thought about this before and while I don't know what's going on in the F/A-18 world, I do know that the F-35 is supposed to replace them, so I'm skeptical that the F/A-18Cs (the legacy Hornet, not even the Superhornet) would have any interest for the US military, which would tell me that if a 'military' trainer for the F/A-18C is in the works, it would be for a country such as Canada, Finland, or maybe even Kuwait. That said, the F-15E is getting a batrilljion dollars invested into it to make it even better and, well, someone has to learn this stuff at some point. So on the 'which has more contract potential' we have: A) Clunky old useless pile of crap that's already been rendered obsolete by two different airframes... or B) A state-of-the-art fighter getting new upgrades on a regular basis that has zero replacement and is forecast to be in use for the next 15 years.

Interesting visitors in 3rd AFB Graff Ignatievo last week - two-ship MiG-29's from "101 ЛАЕ Витезови" from Serbia. They have performed, along with Bulgarian 29's missile launches at the Shabla shootong range at the Black Sea. Except for the two fighters Serbia has participated with various SAM sites, like last year. But this has been the first international trip for the Serbian 29's.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand what if you don't have an ipad? :P

Well done. The Blue Angels are pretty good but the Thunderbirds ROCK! Just saw them last week with some members of the 104th and the 44th. Pictures will be forthcoming in the proper thread of course. Out
