Can the real Su-25T carry laser guided bombs?
It has the right system as it can use laser guided missiles, and when you start FC you can see a T frog with KAB-500L's.
If it can't; why not?

Yes, trees shouldn't catch fire from everything though. Something like this may sound advanced, but is probably possible to implement without too much problems as the model needs only to be an approximation of the reality and no way near as advanced to feel real.You should be able to fly through the edges of trees, but not the middle ...I think the trees shouldn't give you much protection (other than visual cover & radar clutter) from any of the (projectile) weapons on flyables firing down (ie unless you're firing horizontaly through a forest). Rounds fired down from the guns on A10s, Su25 / 25T, F15 etc. are going to mostly meet thin air & any that don't are going to clear the way for those that follow.. Proximity fuses on missiles might get confused though.
Perhaps model an invisible colidable cylinder (truck) 2/3 the hight & 1/5 the width of the tree in the middle, then you can still clip the tree tops with a wing & not crash & burn. Same with a rotor hovering in a clearing, get some cover from rounds etc, but not just plow through the trees or get instant safety when you drop into them. ( would also mean that say - tanks, could fire at a chopper (or tank) through the trees & if it was lucky find a clear path for the shell, but mostly if there are any number of trees, hit a trunk).
Make the colidable bit damageable - trees catch fire & once burnt don't colide any more.

Just to clear something up, this Gambit is not from these forums, but from the F4AF forums.I'm cool. :) Gambit was my initial provocation. The "lomac is arcade" nonsense. -
If you don't want to wast missiles you can do this: fly towards the target, lock him up and wait until he fires, as soon as he does (or just before) this you fire your missile and commence evasive manuevers.I've found the Tungs don't shoot down KH58's. They'll shoot down the other antiradar missile though. You just need to fire enuf to get thru the defenses. A high attack gives you a better chance of breaking thru their defenses. -
If it's not much heavier or larger than regular Mk-84's (which I doubt they are), the A-10 should be able to carry them. It's just a big lump of metal after all...Why did they remove the retarded mk-84 after the demo? I mean if the a-10 couldn't carry it, then the b-52 surely can (seen video of the real thing dropping them). -
I don't think he's out to find faults, but just stumbled on something that seemed to be wrong, it wasn't, but that's no reason to be unfriendly.Oh look, branded a 25T fanboi. Thanks :DAlthough is that supposed to be an insult. :p :icon_lol:
I suggest you should spend your time flying FC to enjoy it instead of faultfinding, thats what the betatesters are for...... Oh thats it.... You after a betatester job.;)

Found this on F4HQ... sounds like a challenge to me ;)
I think we should have a tournament between AF and LOMAC. Bring them over to AF and kill them' date=' then switch over to LOMAC and kill them some more while drooling over the graphics. anyways, I'd put money on AF pilots over LOMAC any day[/quote'] -
Yep, but IMO even most people that haven't flown at all would say that LockOn feels more like flying than F4, because we can all *feel* even without *knowing*.My attitude is that you love each sim for the enjoyment it gives you. Otherwise uninstall it. I fly more than one sim, and I do so for different reasons. And I refuse to choose between playing one or the other. Cuz no one can make me play just one! ;)Having had the controls of a real plane, and flown down low and fast in planes and choppers LOMAC feels better to me. A family friend of ours is an F16 instructor at Luke. He told me Lock On felt more real.

That depends on how they loaded the magazine, but maybe between one in five and one in ten rounds are tracer rounds.In that video you see tracer rounds but how many bullets per tracer round is there? 10, 15, 20, 100???But if you know the rate of fire for their guns you could calculate it...
-
I don't understand why you have to be so mean just because he made a mistake.
-
You also need to be able to collide with trees, something I've missed since Flanker 2, it just feels stupid to fly right through the trees when you're going NoE.Some months ago Chizh has made a remark that new trees would be introduced into Black Shark. But since this isn't on the feature list of 1.2 and considering that a high detal terrain has been mentioned in regard to Tank Killers, it is kind of a open question now.But I have no doubth that at least the current trees will influence LOS in 1.2, otherwise the whole helo thing would be kind of pointless.

Is there any way to avoid dropping a whole MER at a time?
-
I just like to comment on things and share my opinion and experiences. Sorry?WTF Yellownet, 100 posts in 2-3 daysgood going :confused:

Training with Live weapons, now that's pretty bold (read: stupid).Wouldn't mind seeing the guncam of the F-15J that accidently shot down his own wingman who was acting as an enemy with an AIM-9L in a training dogfight with live weapons.I would like to hear the voice com from that exercise.
-
Hehe... that happens from time to time if you fly low enough :pGoya & I ran on a Hawk last evening. It happened to be situated in kind of a bowl, so It was having a rough time painting us- as we came over the terrain it literally freaked.. and shot off almost everything it had in 1 salvo. Several missiles just blew up after a few hundred yards. One of the LN's even let one go at the LN unit sitting next to it :p. After I took out the TR unit, I think it quit, didn't it? (I had to fly up and around to see how I did) -
Don't forget J-32 Lansen (The Lance), J-29 (The flying barrel, which to my knowledge is the only swedish aircraft used in combat(Kongo, 60's)) and J-21 R...Yeah, credit given where credit is due. The Draken, Viggen and Gripen are quite an achievment for being the domestic products of a small country. I always liked the idea of how the airbases are in the countryside with roads being used as taxiways and runways.Viggen doesn't really sound like a fighters name in english... SAAB J-37 dam da dam... THE TUFTED DUCK! :icon_eek:
-
Two or more configs with the same joystick i.e. CH Fighterstick A for Su-25T and CH Fighterstick B for F-15.
It says something else, but I really hope you're right.
-
I still don't understand what "Now it is possible to use several identical joysticks, unique configurative file will be generated for each of them." means... why would you want two identical joysticks?
-
If you get close enough they will launch even without a targeting radar, and obviously the missiles self-destruct as they have no lock.
But you're talking about a normal lock situation...or?
-
That's true. It makes 0.5 M - 1.5 M in 30 seconds.AFAIK, the Gripen has a modifyed version of the same engine used in the legacy F-18. Its license built in sweden. For now the Gripen's T/W ratio is inferior to that of the F-16 for example, but if funds are not cut an uprated engine version should be in service in a few years.The gripen IMHO is not the badest boy on the block but has enough AA tricks up its sleeve to make any oponent nervous.
-
I don't think so... but if you're refering to the thread title, it was meant as a kind of homage to the Viggen, as it's a fighter.did the viggen ever fight? -
Thanks... really cool, and the takeoff was even shorer than I'd expected.I guess everything was wrong with that post ;)Referer problem with the link, here it is
http://membres.lycos.fr/elfiria/video/
It's probably the only single engine aircraft that carries both thrust reverser and afterburner, and one of two fighters that does.
-
A bit of size difference though ;)...and the Tu-144 and the Concorde :p -
The link doesn't work :(Crappy quality, but a cool clip showing Viggens STOL capability,http://membres.lycos.fr/elfiria/video/viggen-landing.wmv
It's one of two aircrafts that carries borth a thrust-reverser and an afterburner. (the other is the Tornado)
I think Aurstria retired their last Draken planes this year.
T frog and LGB's

Thanks guys. A shame though, I like dropping LGB's...
Edit: and some people are against an F-16 :p
