You can do that tweak without any problems.

If you find the same options in both option.lua and graphic.cfg, the option.lua is the one to use. For more and detailed info (although not fully up to date) you could use the DCS Black Shark Tweak Guide Alpha Version (The DCS file structure is for the biggest part the same as FC2)

Well this video contains many video (edited) effects not found in the game itself. I think there is no mod at the moment doing the same.

Link to video?

Size doesn't matter mate, it's what you do with it :megalol: (sorry couldn't resist, I wouldn't know the exact length)

Sure, welcome to post your pictures here :) Though I think you can get some more candy out of your pictures with some processing ;) (allow me :D) Original. After a quick run through camera raw.

Nice! I wish I could get that close ;) You got the Sigma 50-500mm right?

haha well like you know I prefer to stay behind the camera ;)

Yea the blue F16 is the Belgium Solo Display Team, great skin, great demo (though not as good as the Dutch F16 solo display team obviously) :D

A bunch of photos I took on the Dutch "Open Dagen" this weekend. Taken with a Nikon D300 + 80-200mm f/2.8 (not quite enough zoom for airshows though).

I doubt they gave up, might be more like a break than giving up. I think they should put that stick on the new Warthog HOTAS :joystick:

On the central stick base these are indeed rubber bands. Basically, this stick is a stock cougar with extended cables. The extra centering force is feeling heavy and more realistic (I flew it a couple of times when I was visiting my buddies in Russia). For the rest of the team, we all use stock X52Pro's with 25% curve on the y axis. So, nothing fancy. ;)

If you want one, build one yourself with existing material (that's russian style) ;)

This is Russian Style :D Stick from my team mate

Neg, altitude is called in hundreds (800/1000/1800 and so on), power settings (if called, often simply power up or power back is enough) is in tens (everything between 80 and 95). And then we have pull up, roll left and so on. Split stages (split, pull, flare and such) are called in 1 (raz) 2 (dwa) 3 (tri) and so on.

Nah exactly the same, around 92 for going up on loops and around 82 for going down. About 85/88 percent for quick formation turns. Knights fly with about 40% of fuel on board.

Maybe I will speak with the pilots this summer or at MAKS 2011, though I can imagine they rather don't like to talk about it.

All very well possible scenarios. He had enough time to abort the rejoin if he had visual after exiting the cloud. In other words, he was probably scanning another part of the sky and not low on his canopy. Anyway, I do not know about the allowed rejoin procedures of the Russians, but in general aviation the rule is to rejoin from a lower altitude relative to the leader. Firstly, you can better see a jet with the sky in the background instead of the ground, secondly you have far less risk to overshoot.

Thanks for translation! I guess the radio channel switch a few seconds before collision could have coused a short distraction from rejoining. On the other hand, his rejoin speed is far too high and it looks like he didn't have visual at the end. What I don't understand is why nr5 rejoined from a higher altitude, the chance of an overshoot and loosing visual contact is much higher in this situation........

Trying to find out whether the collision was coused by a hydraulic failure or not. I will ask my team mates the exact translation.
