I can tell you that a lot of money is thrown away by the windows in a capitalist society , as a person living in North America and having the opportunity to work in some military research and developpement i saw things that non related worker can see or hear, i can tell you that when a project is happening, everyone is making profits on their wallet and often delays occured which cause project inflation that justify the enormous budget allocate to it. and this is the way Capitalist is recognized for.

This is a big hoax, The US never land on the moon, it is all made. The US space project was a mess and suddenly they were able to land on the moon, not even talking about the radiation belt that it's protecting earth from which they pass through but the Russian didn't. If we look from Start the Russian had his high and low like the US but not as much as the US and they were the first in everything except that suppose landing on the Moon. Some specialists (past and today) and Astronauts of that era said that it didn't happen like we saw it on TV, and that it was all made to win the race agains the USSR to show the superiority of the US. Some of them even talk knowing that their live was put to risk. Others less fortunate died in doing it... anyway a topic on that matter was available on Space.com mentioning all the points that lead to believe that it was a Hoax. have a nice day

This is what you think, looks like USSR wasn't as behind as you may think and in other fields it even surpassed their counterpart. As we saw in the GolfWar the Patriot wasn't as good as mentioned with the inability to destroy the warhead and instead only the fuselage or the rear part of the missile.;-)

you're wrong , Russian Plane can do that as well!! The Mig-29S (Fulcrum C), could guide missiles to two targets at a time and operated in concert with R-27RE and R-77 AAMs. (by Yefim Gordon) and later version of SU-27 also.

Mig-29K Shipboard Fighter (izdeliye 9.31) from Yefim Gordon: ... The Mig-29K prototype flew along the carrier's port side, judging the effect of the carriers's wake turbulence. Before making a real landing, Mikoyan, Sukhoi, and NII VVS pilots trained day after day, mastering the unfamiliar no-flare landing technique. The first conventional carrier landing in the Soviet Union was successfully accomplished at 1:46 PM by T10K-2(SU-27K). At 3:12 PM the Mig-29K followed suite, touching down somewhat more roughly; in fact, it appeared to onlookers that the aircraft dropped onto the deck like a gliding brick,( probably he badly calculated the distance before touchdown + a lack of experience, and maybe the sukhoi pilot was just more lucky that day.) the Mig-29K received the Nato code name Fulcrum-D. The second prototype, 312 Blue(mig-29K), joined the flight-test program at its final stage. Besides flying, the final stage of the carrier's state acceptance trials included aerodynamic trials of the jet blast deflectors. The latter were a constant source of annoyance; not least because their water-cooling system had a propensity to explode when overheated, as demonstrated by the Su-27K on two occasions. Thus the Fulcrum-D never got the chance to complete its state acceptance trials. There was another reason for this, a rather absurd accident. In the 13th flight of the state acceptance trials program, NII VVS test pilot V. M. Kandaoorov landed normally after a 1.5 hour sortie and inadvertently worked the landing gear control switch, selecting gear up. Realizing his mistake, he immediately selected gear down, but it was too late. The retraction jacks and hydraulic lines burst and the aircraft sank onto its belly, suffering serious damage. While 311 Blue was undergoing repairs, the carrier departed for Novorossiysk and that was it. Finito. But according to his source the Russian Navy give some serious thought to reviving the MIG-29K program. In the early production of the SU-27 and Mig-29 and after a mock combat between them to evaluate their respective merits and drawbacks, the Russian pilots opinion was that, despite the su-27's FBW controls, pilot workload was greater than it the MIG-29.(not talking here the SMT,M2,K, or the Mig-29 OVT who have FBW.) The Fulcrum is well liked by service pilots of the Russian Air Force and the German MIG-29 proved well during mock combat against NATO F-15 and F-16 of the US Air Force who won most of the fights as the often found themselves shot down before they even got the Fulcrum on their radar screen! After Post-Modification the German MIG-29 proved once more is merits in Italy april and may 1991 were it won all sessions of mock combat against various NATO fighters. Thus the Fulcrum gained the distinction of being the only soviet type to remain with the Luftwaffe after reunification.

hello, To my knowledge the KA-50 have been flyable before, and the game is FAIR STRIKE. A helicopter action/simulation featuring 6 flyable helicopters (AH-64A Apache, RAH-66 Comanche, PAH-2 Tiger, Ka-50 Hokum, Ka-52 Alligator, Ka-58 Black Ghost). 38 action-packed missions in Caribbean region, Eastern Europe, South-East Asia and the Middle East, hundreds of ground, naval and airborne objects. Multiplayer modes are another good chance to play with your friends. here a pic.

Ok guys thanks, i'll try what you told me.

Hi everone, I recently started the Mig-29 Campaign and when i completed the first mission i saved it. But later on when i returned to resume my campaign at my surprise my progress wasn't saved. I tried many times to save my progress, but everytime i quitted and returned it was still not saved. Could the Mig-29 Campaign be bugged? The other Mig-29 Campaign (last Chance) work great. Any help or tips to resolve that would be very appreciated. Also in a way to resolved that i reinstalled the game from zero and applied the patch 1.11, but the problem is still there. thanks. Jack

No not in that one i'm afraid! you talked about the su-30mki and other variants but as far i know with Pravda web site, moscow news ,etc this one seems to be made all in Russia except the Avionic that could be made by sextant avionic (A French company that have good relation with Russian Companies) but it remain to be seen! many russian avionic companies exist and are as good as Sextant. For one example we have the Transas Aviation compagny who produce magnificent and reliable displays. And in Phase Array Radars the Russian are among the top in the world, even the Active Array seems promising. Although not so eager to implemented it as their American counterpart, improvements are made until this technology is more mature and can be fitted with less power consumption, that's one problem the USA are facing right now. Anyway i'm not here to lower the USA in anyways... so let's just enjoy this great game and all those future add-ons and updates we can have. :D

Hi, It's my first post here and would like to thank everyone who contributed to this magnificent game who is null other than `Lock-On`. As time came and went, it has been improved in many ways although a lot more as to be done to make it even better.(Frame Rate,etc) I would like to share a thought. Could it be possible to include these two most best fighters in the world in a possible add-on or patch. It will be a great experience to fly these... and to see the know how in Russian Technologies nowadays. what do you guys think?

... Lock On!, what a beautiful name for a beautiful simulator! Nothing come close to it in term of Sounds, graphics, gameplay and realism. I tried many sims before but none took me profoundly as Lock On did!! keep going guys... hope it'll not be the last Add-On... About the methods, i'll be very interested to download it! when it comes out. And to buy it via Paypal. I never had trouble with paypal before. So i'm fully confident with that payment method. good evening everyone!
