Any news about the second prototype first flight?

wow! it has the predator invisivility thing!

the red stars are the same :):megalol:

What troubles me is that now american aircraft companies are manufacturing aircrafts in china! were is the freaking pride! son nothing would be build in the US. Look for example the lattes Cessna trainer.

I knew that airplane was real! but never imagine that disney would use a german airplane as inspiration :music_whistling:

old su-35 demo

yeah; I know I'm going to be working on it this weekend! about the pluggins: I don't have max7 :( so I guess this is going to be for future sims or maybe Ed can release the pluggin for newer max programs

The other day someone posted the f-16 manual... the problem was that he posted the link on wikileaks! so it was a no no to me

mmm... It smells like soon you will need clearance form the NTSA to fly rc aircrafts if people keep making cool videos like this. You don't want an rc airplane hitting a person and much less being used to harm people.

That is why it is so hard to win; they don't play by the rules or obey human rights norms; they are not a well stablished force on which you can easily identify targets or key elements like an army. They don't mind using kids to set up traps or use them as human bombs; they use any chance they get to demoralize the Allied forces no mater if involves doing an atrocity. What infuriates me is how coward taliban leathers are; they send their men to die but they hide themselves like leaches. The same happens in my country few wealthy pricks send thousands of men to fight for a fake ideal in other to maintain their drug dealing business; we are getting close to eliminate this cancer form my country but it is due to the fact that most of the citizens of my country are tired of dealing with the atrocities of this terrorists.

Is this going to air on the US NG?

yes he can; he just need to look at the stats jaja... there had been several cases of friendly fire; for example in japan an f-15 shoot down anther f-15 by mistake because the master arm switch was on an the pilot didn't noticed. The russians also had similar accidents; there was a case of an su-25 downing another su-25 not too long ago and a mig-23 on mig-23 accident on the 80s

hold down, hold down those are dummy r-77; so threre is no real indication that the su-30mki can carry it or use it since there is no indication that it has been produced...:megalol:

are those ventral fins? oh never mind those are the flaps

Nort Korea doesn't look fit for battle in a modern battlefield at least if we talk about air to air confrontation. They are going to have a hard time if they want to fight the south Korean slam eagles and posible the American fleet. As far as I know they only have migs-17, 21s and migs-29; who knows if they are up to date. But if we talk about ground war it is a different story; they have big numbers of soldiers. What worries me the most is what would be chinas reaction to an actual war in Korea.

If we could reach mach3 o the 60s I don't see why it is no plausible the existence of a faster jet than the sr-71. About he triangle shaped craft; it may be product of the early german research gained by the americans after the war ended. My dad says he had a close encounter with an UFO back in my country... Like most UFO encounters; it happened on a remote road. My dad was driving his truck around seven o'clock close to small town(Riosucio Caldas, Colombia); then he noticed lots of cars and people on the side of the road; so he decided to park his truck facing on the direction on which the people were watching. He climb out of his truck and saw a bright light hovering like 4 miles from him; them he got an idea (typical of my old man) he climb back into his truck and turn the lights of the truck on and off several times to get the UFO attention... people started telling at him "stop; don't do that!" but my dad didn't stop (again typical of my old man; he never listens) suddenly in an instant the light or UFO came on top of his truck very close; but the light was so bright that they could't see a thing; then it went back to were it was before in just a blink of an eye. after an our it moved farther and disappeared. The only way to explain the UFO flight characteristics would be a craft that can cancel or some how reduce the effects of gravity; otherwise a pilot inside of it would suffer incredible g-forces. I don't tink my dad is laying to me since he teals me this story over and over; he doesn't believe in God but he really thinks that there is intelligent life out there. In my case I still have yet to see an UFO; the closest thing I have seen is meteorites (at leas 3) and an orbiting satellite.

Now that we are talking about good timers lets see this one (reminds me of medicine tv ads :pilotfly:) I really like the begining of the video!

my x-52 reproduces total flight control system failure when the ps2 cable gets disconnected by accident :) adds realism to the game! anyway it is the best stick for tight budget if a you call $129 a tight budget. It was not so tight budget for me when I was in college. the x45 was good but feels a bit rustic if you compare with the x-52. If you can try some of the newer sticks.

I think is time for a pure jet fighter something like an f-15c or an su-27 I won't mind if it is an early model of this 2 plz.

have you guys seen this sim? http://www.proflightsimulator.com/aircraft.htm is it any good?

There is a picture of the crash site and it looks like a crater; it looks more like an meteorite impact.

I had a feeling that he didn't ejected when they said that they lost contact with him; with no distress calls; it looked to me like he crashed very suddenly. I was hoping to see a happy ending. So the raptor doesn't have night vision goggles? A lot of things could have happened; I wonder if there is enough evidence in the crash site to find the cause of the accident. There had been several accidents at night and low visibility on which pilots don't notice that they are on dives or inverted. mechanical failure could also be the cause; what if his life support system failed? (is the raptor cockpit pressurized?) g-locks? ...there is a lot of things that could have the cause, I hope the investigators find the answer soon. There was a NASA study to create a special g suit that had a device that would create vibrations around the pilot's body to indicate if the aircraft was inverted; I wonder if it was implemented? Also... why if there are more advanced systems on 4th++ generation fighters and the f-35s why they don't upgrade the raptor; they already spend a lot of money on them to let them get outdated so quickly. I know it is about money but; why don't keep your premiere fighter up to date ;instead of developing more weapon systems that probably won't be needed? The raptor as it is is going to become like the su-33; a rare and outdated bird.

Sad news he didn't eject. http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/11/19/alaska.plane.crash/index.html

I hope he is alive!

To me there is too much interaction with the screens; ahg airplanes are to pc-like; nothing like old school dials... so... what happens if your screens die? you actually have too look outside to fly the jet?
