Im trying this out myself and cant drop any LGB's from my '33. I have fitted it with KAB-500's and GBU-12's and cant get them to drop. It isnt a problem on the A-10 though. What procedure are you going through to get working LGB's on the Su-33? I am running LO 1.12. Thanks, Helk

IK, I know that the Hornet community uses the laser Mav's. Do you know if they are slewed to the target using a pod (lantirn,sniper,etc)? If so, would the A-10 realistically need such a pod, or would the PavePenny be suitable and logical to use? I ask because I noticed that the LMAV doesnt seem to hit a moving target when fired off of the Hog. Thanks, Hellcat

IK, how did you get the GBU's hanging under the SU-33? Also, the 65E's, where can I grab those? thanks

I love how those type of games make all of the fixed wing jets go Mach 2 straight off the ground. You fly around the map at stupidly fast speeds and really cant set up any tangible attack run. My thoughts.

Not looking to get in the debate, but I did want to cite those quotes (and seemingly a lot of the info Corsair is posting) to the Tomcat Sunset website and forums. http://www.tomcat-sunset.org Peace, Helk61

Owned. I recommend you just come out and say that you have somthing against America. This way we will just take what you say worth a grain of salt.

Pretty cool. The swastica is a bit creepy, but is probably rather benign. I kind of see your pentagram, but it's missing a side, so it wouldnt work. The last one I dont get. Cool find.:smilewink: That was unprovoked and unessicary. Congrats on overreacting. :thumbup:

Have you gotten the wings to fold back yet?

All three of you are right on the money. I have had the same complaint since 1.02. I've dealt with it and continued to support the game, buy the releases, and play it. With the BS release, I cant say the same. I would have to see somthing ground breaking by the ways of AI and tactics to buy it. Also, the whole Russian helo does nothing for me. In my personal opinion, money would be better spent on fixing code, or placing US carrier borne jets in the game. Of course, the Russian bias will never permit that. Im looking into other sims to fill that void. They may not look as good as LOMAC, but if I can get over 35 frames on them, land on a carrier, and they do a semi-decient job of modelling the aircraft, then they've won me over.

I have a thing for Easter Island Heads. 10/10.

Corsair, you know Dave? Just out of curiosity, did you make it to the final flight? A lot of people were disappointed...

Awesome. Keep us updated! The video's look good too. Tomcats Forever!

I have no problem rocking your name on the jet, I just want a Tomcat!! About the swing wings... do you have a solution to that yet? -Helk

I was fortunate enough to go to the Tomcat Sunset last friday. It was great to see that bird one last time. Its a real shame, and all of the pilots and RIO's that I talked to hated to see it go, and had nothing but praise for the jet. Tomcats Forever! Helk

A question to my Virtual Tomcatters. How do you utilize the F-14 model in this game? Have you managed to get the wings to fold when you're flying? I noticed several parts of your recient video were the wings were folded back, I was wondering if that was all done with AI, or had you managed to get folding wings? Secondly, have you guys figured out how to use the tailhook with 1.11? Any secrets you can share would be greatly appreciated. The video was excellent by the way. -John

WARNING! The lockon.RU forum Mafia are on the prowl.. You should watch what questions you ask here. Hehe...:lol: To answer your quesion, no, you wont see any two seaters here because of the "realism" factor. ED figures that it has to simulate the aircraft with max realism, and doesnt feel the need to dump time or money into cultivating a decient "back seater" sim. They prefer to make helo's...:noexpression: You can toy around with some files and get the Su-30 flyable, and it might even have a few "new" weapons. They will only be new in appearance though.

I would love to smoke a T-55 with a mav. Hope it works out. Good luck!

Actually, VF-31 will lose their RIO's and be transferring to the "E" model Super Hornet. It is very unfortunate that this is happening. Politics is a beotch.

Im also attending. Its going to be very hard for me to watch the F-14 fly for the last time. She is a beautiful aircraft that is being retired long before her tenure (even though its been thirty years). My father is former Grumman/NSAWC, so he will also be watching the sunset with a deep sorrow, having spent nearly twenty years with the Tomcat. A very sad day for both of us. At least she is going out in style. A fitting retirement for the best fighter to ever grace any aircraft carrier deck in the world.

UltraNoob. All three of your posts have been completely useless to the thread and the forum. Go trolling somewere else. From your brief time here we can already gather that you are going to be an ***hat. Peace.

How can I get, say, a B-52 to drop his entire load of ordinance on a target? I can only get my AI bombers to drop two bombs on any given target. What is the process to get every bomb out of the Buff? (or any bomber for that matter). Thanks. Helk

Would somone be kind enough to walk me through that procedure to get those weapons/tailhook to work? It would be much appreciated.

With the bazarr/world swap, would you get the F/A-18-specific weapons to work as well? I ask because in the 1.02 mod, you could do this. Im looking for somthing comprable to that. I cant figure why someone cant release a similar mod with 1.12, unless there is some legal BS that wont allow it. -Hellcat

I did the little ME file trick to make non-flyables work. The only problem I have ran into is that the arrestor hooks for the F/A-18 wont operate. I believe that it is modelled on a Su-27 instead of the Su-33. It can take off from carriers, but not land. How can I fix it so that the Hornet can utilize the arrestor hook and land on carriers? I am making a movie and I really need to be able to land it myself. Thanks in advance. Helk

How exactly do you "make it say yes"? I can find the ME file, but I dont know how to edit it. Details please. Thanks again.
