Pilotasso

hehe, "false alarms?" I got stories of APG-66's locking onto cars on highways and windmills. :D

Our experience as virtual pilots will hardly translate realistically to what the real world pilots would do. We do not fear death by slaloming missiles for starters. :D The F-35 explores the options of having longer range and less support needed.

how much do the 4 recessed AMRAAMs count for RCS? ;)

B-21 Kim kardashian See no connection? they both are bombastic but equally useless. ;)

waiting for cannonlake chips before considering a new GFX. It'll be a while (2H2017).

By using TV outside a regular trajectory the range is reduced to 1/3, there's environmental factors to consider (clouds are black body to infra red spectrum) and these are 2 weaknesses that popped up in my head. Who knows?

There was actually little combat at all. This is why I think the analysis of these records might lead you into erroneously believing dogfighting is a thing of the past. Personally I only see one offs engagements and no statistical validity to this argument.

Your very talented thor. My models look made by a 5 year old by comparison.

Finally! That was a fast take off!

LOL

It's still present in the latest patch. I had high memory consumption before (during multiplayer) but wow this time it became a slideshow due to the game eating all my 16GB memory up. The server was filled with 54 players but still...

Flying over Dubai will be amazing. Cant wait.

Called it. Here's finally the unveil. :)

why are they backordering them?

Hey guys. I've had CH's propedals like forever. I believe mine were 10 years old or more (cant even remember anymore). I have never had other model and now I'm losing axis one after the other. Toe brakes no longer work. So which ones should I get that are somewhat reliable and have good feel to them? (always found these propedals to be very clunky ) Im looking at Simware site, and the only real affordable pedals are all from SAITEK/MADcatz 1-proflight rudder 2-proflight combat rudder 3-pro flight Cessna Opinions would be welcome! :)

^^^^ OMG ROFL I had to change my pants!

they had single engines in the navy for a long time and several times. F-8, A-7 just to name a few.

never Amazon neither E-bay, Although did resorted to simware and toys r'us in some emergency situations. :) I like to go out search in shopping centers, look at the shops a few times and snatch the goods myself.

you got it backwards, either I hadn't been clear enough or you missed the background of the discussion I was engaged in. :)

Technically the YF-17 and F-18 are totally different aircraft, kinda like comparing the Mig-29 with the Su-27.

If they manage to produce a fighter that doesn't corrode away due to sketchy stealth sealants that alone would be progress. :D Also think more durable stealth skin that would allow higher speeds (currently its a limitation). AIM-9X integration, HMDS integration HUDless wide screen dash. Progress baby (although I would miss the stylish HUD in a SIM).

Nothing in this news points in the direction where the new design would look remotely like an FB-22 which would self-defeat the air superiority role. Also the F-22A has never been a strictly AA platform, and most likely the new fighter will be pretty analogous to that.

They specified an air superiority fighter not a striker. That is the role of the F-35 and theres no reason to just do a clone.

Russian Proton rocket launches ESA probe to scan for methane sources on Mars! r8TeYts8kcI Its nice to see this type of cooperation these days. I laughed hard at the Donald Duck voice from the ESA representative though.

They want a 6th gen plane off from a 5th one. They save a ton of money right off the bat even before they start thinking about the tooling. Worst case scenario the tooling will be completely new, best case scenario there will be savings on both sides.
