Nice video.....got any more?

Go to local airport and see if they have aero-club or such. Usually they have intro-rides for 30$ for 30 minutes. That is best way.

I can't tell exact distance that I look for traffic since I never tested out my self. First thing I rely on is the radio calls combined with vision. Before I approach airport I would listen to traffic and announce my intentions. (Class D airspace, no tower) I would look at areas that matters to me that would be traffic area of 5 miles around me (no need to look at 10000 feet when I’m at 1500-2000ft). You see, to properly scan ski, it takes a lot of time since you can only scan about 10 degrees a second (per FAA) of space at once. Many times other aircraft would pop up out of no where even though I check my surroundings; of course it depends on weather / visibility. In other words, civilian aviators are not trained to spot other aircraft in distance. I know for fact that I cannot spot another Cessna/Piper at 20 miles unless they are producing some type of stand out detail (glass reflection). To spot something on ground 20 miles away you have to know A) their location so that you can concentrate vision on that exact area, B) something have to standout like reflection of a window. At times before I knew area well, I would almost fly over runway before I spot it. My Alt 2000ft, speed 90-120mph, runway is 3000 ft with ~20 parked aircraft. To properly ID aircraft on ground I would have be 2-3 miles away for something size of B25. IMHO I would set icons for aircraft 10 for fighter, 20 for large bomber/cargo and 5 for ground targets. (excuse my poor english skills...I just came from party and had few shots of vodka ;))

It depends on weather conditions. Take a look at this photo I took from a Cessna. How far would you see a vehicle and correctly ID it?

JSF pit looks ....just a perfect match to that joke about micro$oft and combat OS in Iraq. LOL

Such a nice and diplomatic way of asking me to do something for you. Let me return the favor. I ain’t gonna do anything, mkay.

Clickable cockpit sounds great. Complex start-up procedure sounds great too. I hope all systems and subsystems will be modeled so I can be in clicking heaven.

second that.

I’d rather have less graphics and more simulation. That’s why I enjoyed my time with LOMAC but it’s time to move up to next level, and that level is F4AF.

This is a good surprise, I thought ISP shut my site down long time ago.

Не надо обижать старших, они вас покусать могут. :D

This kiddy counter strike clan naming crap needs to stop. They are SQUADS! Clans wear white robes and burn crosses on front lawns, they have nothing to do with military units/gaming.

Really? That is good news.

Мужик правду говорит, Прям как V1 сбивали. вот так и надо :wink:

Оооооо отлично! Молодцы ребята, Спасибо Питер и ЕД.

Маврик смогут пользовать? Или это просто так для красоты?

Дак это уже высший пилотаж. Я раком дойду до этого. Потихоньку надо, потихоньку!

The first one is great, that chute pulled you off boat. LOL Real challenge? It’s just the beginning. :) What about freestyle? I didn’t see thread about it. Here’s my trk.

Мда, я тоже не умею садится при ветре в спину.

РУС в сторону ветра двинь.

Performance reduction due to vehicle sounds. I noticed that due to ground vehicle sounds, my system looses at least 10 fps. Simple test, I start Su25T instant action mission and switch to vehicle view, frame rate shown is in 50s, then I pause game and I gain extra 10 fps. I quit mission, in options turn off sounds and replay same mission and view to same vehicle: frame rate stays same regardless if I pause game or not. Now my problem with this is why do I need those sounds in the first place? They reduce performance of my computer and they are unrealistic. Heck, even when I fly Cessna152 in real life and pass over freeway/roads at low altitude (less then 100 ft), I do not hear any sounds but my own engine. ED, please allow users to turn off vehicle sounds. If that cannot be done, which files do I need to delete so my system stop playing them? Thanks.

Чего-то это не то. Взлетая самолет съехал с полосы и убрал шасси. И все!

It seems last challenge was not challenging at all so lets make this harder. :D Attached is next mission. Mission: Land Su25T (100% fuel, 8m/s cross wind, heavy ordinance) on a moving carrier at 25knots without causing any kind of damage. Then post trk here to show off your skills.
