Probably a track replay I guess.... but still how is this hacker spawning so many Su-27's and why especially this aircraft? Unbelievable!

We are in the year 2012 right. So who knows, maybe a reset is in the offing. ;)

hey bob!, I was just wondering how did you get that glow in the last two shots, the ones in the MiG-29 cockpit and the Kuznetsov. :dunno: BTW great shots S!

:doh: As I said, I'm not sure who exactly was there.. but there were definitely two BLUE fighters close by. THAT I'm sure.

Hi there FLANKERATOR :) Actually there were two blue fighters in the air.. F-15's I guess. They were close to the HVTs. I think it was MoGas and RIPTIDE who was close by. I don't know how close they were but they did not notice Zoky at all. I guess they were distracted by the large force coming at the back of him. :smilewink: :P

Personally, my "Breath Holding Moment" during this OPFOR was when RED (Zoky) took out the three ships (HVT's). That was just freaking awesome considering the BLUE fighters were close by. I guess BLUE never really recovered from that initial shock. My initial reaction to that was this :shocking:. It was something that I always dreamed of doing. It was just bloody brilliant from my point of view.

8 vs. 4 is really pushing it IMHO. One thing you can do is lure the bandits into mountainous terrain hoping to drive them into the ground. The other thing you can try to lure the bandits into a friendly SAM zone. :pilotfly:

Is it possible to add the MiG-29K as flyable with carrier ops? :joystick:

I was just in SHOCK and AWE when I first heard of this strike and the way they carried it out. It was just a brilliant brilliant idea. :smartass:

All those radars are too classified I guess and the reason it is not available for the public. BTW, the F-22 and F-35 radars will never become public knowledge at least for another 50-60 years. :lol:

I agree about the SA-enhancing mode on 27S. About the MiG-29S, I thought that ED guys had contact with real life russian fighter pilots. (Did I read it wrong somewhere on this forum or are these pilots not shown the real MiG-29S radar) Yep, that's one way of doing it but as you say it really depends on the situation. :thumbup: Now I respect the Russians even more.... Man can they keep stuff secret. :smilewink: Okay then... scratch my earlier request. ED please upgrade the current Su-27S to Su-27SM, MiG-29S to MiG-29SMT, and Su-33 to Su-33K. The last one will probably not happen but I would be happy with the same radar of the Su-27SM.

As I said earlier "bring it on" and include your AESA radar upgrades for the F-15C but also do include the necessary upgrades for the Su-27/33, MiG-29S as they are IRL for them. I do know how to use my aircrafts strengths and weakness to my advantage and I can hold my own against the F-15C. It's just that when you know that aircrafts like the Su-27 and MiG-29S do have TWS capability IRL and not in the game and you also know very well that the opponents (F-15Cs) have the same capabilities as their real life counterparts, it sort of sucks.. big time.. not be able to use full or at least some basic capability of the aircraft radar. Do you just turn and run? Is that the way you do it. ;):pilotfly: because honestly I can't see anyone dodging more than two or even three well-directed or well-timed AIM-120 shots in any other way other than of course extending and then reengaging. I'm sorry that you disagree but only when things are harder that it can be learnt better. BTW, it does give you better SA and also better instinct and a pilot with a better SA always wins. Then why does the Lock on Su-27 not have TWS+R-77 included and please don't tell me that ED chose to simulate the S model which does not have that capability. (I mean why chose that model? Is it because of cost and time constraints or is it something else) Okay....forget the Su-27, why does the MiG-29S not have multi-target engagment capability. The real MiG-29S has it. I know and I've done that already. The 51st squad has proved it many times too. I don't think so... if the MiG-31 is used in the right way it can cause headaches to many team players. PS: I'm not complaining or finding fault with anything or anyone. I like the game as it is and I'm just pointing out on things that can be improved in the game for the next release. After all, this is a WISH LIST isn't it.

I don't mind... in fact bring it on (I believe you are talking about the AESA radar fitted to F-15, if my memory serves me right). The real reason I wish for the upgrade to the MiG/Su is for a level playing field (I know war is never a level playing field, but then again we are not in an actual war). The F-15 jocks get kills very easily with TWS+AIM120 and get very good kill/death ratios. What really differentiates great F-15 pilots vs. normal ones are those who kill with AIM-7Ms knowing very well they have the choice of AIM-120 but still sticks to the AIM-7M and gets kills. I know only a handful out there who could do that. Semi-actives sort of bring out the best in pilots. Sometimes, I just wish active missiles were never in existence. BTW GG, is there any hope for the MiG-31 becoming player flyable in FC3?:joystick: :huh:

I agree Su27 and MiG29S simulated in FC2 don't have multi-target capability. What I'm really asking or wishing rather is for ED to provide them as the real aircrafts have them even if they are in limited quantity. I know mate. I'm from India. ;);)

My Wish List I would love if the following were added for FC3: Multi-Targeting capability for Su-27/Su-33/MiG-29S: Enough with the F-15C having the multi-target attack capability advantage in the game. I've heard that the Russian aircrafts basically share the same radar code with the F-15C in the game. So why not add multi-target capability for them. They real life aircrafts have them (recent upgrades I believe). I presume it should not be that hard to incorporate it on the Russian aircrafts (I maybe wrong).:dunno: If above is not possible, please oh pretty please, add the MiG-31 (preferably the MiG-31BM) as a new player flyable with multi-targeting capability. :worthy: It would just be awesome flying 15kms high at Mach 3.

Great work 104th... will try to participate on Saturday and Sunday. Tried to participate in the 51st GCI weekend but could not because of the time frames. Hope to get some flying time in with GCI support. Should be fun. I tried a stock mission available in FC2 and it was great. :pilotfly:

There are several but these are the ones I like the most... :) Ricardo's HD pits - A must have if you are into Russian jets. http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/1460-ricardo-hd-pits/ Combatace's Su-33 Model. http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/1911-combataces-su-33-model-for-lo-fc1-fc2/ MiG-21 Bis Model http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/1993-mig-21bis-for-flaming-cliffs-2-with-6dof-3d-cockpit-v21/ F-15C Model by Gys, Valery. http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/1501-fc2-f-15c-eagle-model-modman7/ Combatace's missile pack http://files.lockon.ru/en/24135/ Bomber Mod (if you want to fly most of the AI aircraft in FC2) :pilotfly: http://files.lockon.ru/en/435/ Note that some of these mods when installed will fail integrity check when trying to play online on some servers. So keep a back of FC2.

I strongly suggest you upgrade to Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2 if you can as it is much much better than vanilla lock on. I don't know if any one has developed any mod for the MiG-31 in vanilla Lock On but here are links to mods for the MiG-25 Foxbat and the Su-30 Flanker. http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/558-mig-25-foxbat/ http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/274-su-30-mod-for-the-su-27/ If you do upgrade to Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2, I suggest you download this mod http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/1548-efa-mod-2.0b-basic/ which makes every aircraft flyable with their own flight model.

I was thinking the exact same thing about configuring the R-33 to the R-37. I believe I know the parameters you are talking about. Nice idea about adding the ECM line of the MiG-29S to the MiG-31.. never thought of that but I will try that too when I get back home today. Regarding the N-011M, I believe the Zaslon is still better but I would like to know why you recommend the N-011M. IIRC there is some code in the sensors.lua file related to the Zaslon having multi-targeting capability. Can that be enabled for the player? :book:

Me and modelling are very far apart but I can always try only because I adore this aircraft and it should get the respect it deserves... any suggestions?

Thanks so much guys for the replies. I almost lost hope that there is no answer to this one (well i guess there is still not) but at least there is some answer... I guess we can't add more pylons to the stock model of the MiG-31 but can we add them to a new model of the MiG-31? Thanks combatace... will look into it today when i get back from work.

Thanks for enlightening me.... but IRL how many targets can be engaged at the same time?

Go into TWS mode (RALT+I) and then just bug (press enter to lock) the targets. I believe one can lock a maximum of only two targets in the game but not too sure exactly as to how many you can lock up because I generally fly Russian birds most of the time as they are more fun to fly :joystick: :)

Hi all, I've been trying for the past few days to mod the MiG-31 to the M version. Basically, I wanted to add two more pylons (if successful, add the ECM to the wingtips) to the aircraft. When I tried it though all the pylons ended up on the right hand side of the wing (Basically I just copied the data from the existing pylon list and added two more pylons (no.7 and no.8 ). Can anyone please help me to put the pylons in correct order. I've been trying for days but can't figure it out as I'm doing all this for the first time and have no experience whatsoever. Also, when trying to edit some files I found that the R-37 missile code in the missilesdata.lua file but could not find the corresponding CLSID for that missile. Is it possible to create a new CLSID for that or is the CLSID available some place else?

Yes Cali.... I got it... TrackIR 3 Pro... Works great too.. Its just that I have to get used to flying with TrackIR now. Feels kinda weird at times... but great nonetheless. As you can see from the thread I had trouble with it initially because I was such a noob trying to figure it all out and getting it all to work but no problems now. :joystick::doh:. Probably I'll see you on the 104th tomorrow :).
