You can put it on Frogs. This chap thinks it has a different sized WH to the other one, but some of his table looks inaccurate to my untrained eye. http://www.lucas-digital.com/gaming/lomac/training/lomac_su25_combat_attack.html

Indian AF http://flagspot.net/flags/in%5Eaf.html Looks irish to me too :rolleyes:

Ive never noticed the radar re-aquire the lock, but I have noticed it come on automatically into BVR scan mode when losing lock in BVR EOS mode. Yeah it ruins the whole thing!

It does (in bvr). Its a nightmare.

1. It locks targets by their heat signature without using your radar. It is used in conjuction with the WVR modes (eg vertical scan) and also the BVR mode, although having EOS on and not radar in this mode changes the symbology of the hud slightly. As it requires a heat signature it is more powerful from the rear of a target, limited in range to about 20km (for a very hot target flying away from you). You can lock bandits up in EOS and they will not know you are doing so, and launch an IR missile (eg r73, r27ET) but not radar guided ones. 2. IFF - ifyou lock a non jamming freindly with radar you will get 'F' in the left of the hud, and they will appear as a circle on your MFD. You get no such warning in EOS only mode as you need radar to differentiate friendly from enemy. 3. If you press a WVR mode (3, 4 etc) yes. If you press 2, press 'o' to turn it on instead of I to put radar on. 4. You wouldnt.

Nice find! That t10-02 prototype looks a bit like an eagle at the front.

Thanks Weta, I was starting to think they had a personal vendetta against me. (which they probably do since ive killed about 20 in the past 12 hrs :P). Cant replicate the problem fighting MiG31s.

The thing I find most amusing about this is that I have never heard of this 'Warriors' game :o I just went to their website and couldnt find much apart from flash menu nonsense lol. It does put ED projects into perspective though, although im sure its a completely different set-up, I imagine rockstar are using motion capture & actors, rather than 3d modelling, and if its a cult film, it must be adhered to!

ROTFL

Ok ill make one.

It was rudolph! not just any Reindeer! :D Besides, even if it wasnt, farmers know how to moan.

Thanks for that. Yes, radar is switching off completely and denying lock. But ive never seen it against any other jet. Its the manner in which I am losing lock on them that concerns me, at medium-close range, lower alt, head on, always excellent AI tomcat.. The original post was prompted by me just out side the NEZ, firing, losing lock, locking again, firing, losing lock, lock again, fire a third, lose lock and die (aim-7). Does the 14 have a relatively low RCS? I cant imagine it does.

NooB y0u lol :D So I locked hit from 90km with EOS? How did my radar switch itself off? I was nowhere near the I key! It says BVR still down the bottom, and I used that all the way. I'd remember using eos bvr mode. And i wouldnt anyway head on! Maybe Ill record a track next time eh? Eos takes over when you are losing lock - normally you see the N flicker off when eg an online pilot beams you low and close. So yes Im tracking thermally as I said, but should be maintaining a stable radar lock.

Back to the radar lock issue.. Here we see a typical situation after the initial pheonix dodging. In this case the lock dosent drop as I have EOS lock we are that close! - however the f14 is higher than me and I cannot get launch authorisation at all for an ER shot from within the NEZ. I held this position for about 3 seconds with no LA. As you can see we are nose->nose (the f14 is launching an aim-9). So what is the deal here ED? Have you lazily programmed the AI to evade locks randomly at high difficulty levels? If so that stinks, they should manouvre to evade lockup, as usual this fool drove straight at me the whole time. (It reminds me of the crud that EA sports produce, where a e.g basketball team on a high level will do exactly the same as it would at lower levels but score a higher % and you less). So come on ED you produce great stuff dont spoil it with this kind of AI.

I like this a lot, apart from the eye looks forward, when its rolled back like a shark eye in the photo. Good job though!

Poor thing...good of them to compensate the farmer.

OK thanks for the GRID mode info. I know about alt-w but still it is a bug ;).

1. When you switch to GRID mode (9) in a russian jet, you cannot get any other HUD display back, including NAV & all combat modes. The only time you can fix it is when you are in a frogfoot and you turn power off and on again. 2. When you have iron bombs selected as your weapon in a flanker, and you go below the minimum launch altitude (you get 'NOL' flashing and the pipper goes to the top of the hud), selecting a rocket launcher does not change the HUD. You must re-select bombs, and re-attain an allowed release solution in order to refresh the HUD. This is annoying because this is when you want to use rockets sometimes. Mostly actually. 3. It seems that AI tomcats set to excellent can drop your radar lock by flying straight at you and not maneuvering (or jamming of course!). This happens often in BVR engagements at close range as well as long, nose-on and without the player maneuveing, at all altitudes, and when the F14 is not lower than you even. Im all for AI planes getting out of lock but when they do it by magic it takes the pee, they may as well not do it at all.

:icon_jook Stay sober? ;)

Maybe they dont know. Maybe they were paid by Sukhoi to do it wrong and that is why we are getting stony silence :D jk jk jk Its likely they just got it wrong, either in researching or programming (I suppose they could say this though).

Someone needs to confirm this but im sure that you can refuel on multiplayer games, you just cannot see the boom (or more than one).

Yes, I agree.

LOL Cant be done without gear down though right? you seem to sink thru the deck and explode.

For Dynamic campaign? Yeah lets keep fingers crossed!
