  1. You have no idea..If someone actually switched on the avionics your brain would go like..oh dear what the hell is all that...and stuff
  2. Pics 11 and 12....WTF!!! is that nukiller or wot?

  4. Thing that has always struck me about this game.......ED keeps saying it cant do things like the f18 because of lack of data..then what do they do with all the aircraft it does have open source data for ?. it compromises or ignores it to fit its own in game dynamics limitations (which will allways be the case..i know) I just wish sometimes for more Honesty...some wish eh?
  5. The U2 was being threatend by mig 21s zoom climbing a looooong time ago, they just couldnt get a lock on as they were basicly on a ballistic trajectory at that point. All this time later, a f16 getting within missile range is no surprise to me. Not that I wholly believe the video portrays that I have always had a soft spot for the U2, but its days of invulnarability from fighters were over 30 years ago

  7. laser guns with a polonium 210 power source ?.........hmmm
  8. Attitude...it describes the vehicles angle, usualy in relation to the ground example...nose up attitude or it could be something you get if you question a BS beta tester:P
  9. Bs..hardcore sim?, they said that about lockon...turned out to be a game lots of switches ..yes ...hardcore realism,,nah they missed that on dozens of points none of us have played it, the beta testers wont tell s][17 and the developers even less...I admire all you guys loyalty and after all there is nothing better out there, but its not the sim so many think it is
  10. Exactly, its just a word, you equally call it the OK flight model as compared to the rather crappy flight model of other planes in the game First time I flew the su25 (not the t) and went through that scripted landing I was about to chuck the disk, considering the marketing blurb and my expectation a degree of realism it was very poor I will buy BS (unless it gets delayed untill spring then other things will take my time), but am prepared to find a lot of the stuff is over-hyped, its par for the course in the sim world If you regard them all as games with a sometimes good attempt at simulation your in for less dissapointment there is a reason designers still use wind tunnels and physical scale models...............even the best simulations available to the aerospace designer are flawed
  11. Im honestly not sure how any of us can answer this......actual RCS figures and test results are all classified
  12. Its true that they try and achieve a as low a exhaust pressure as is practical..if pressure at exhaust is to high then the engine basicaly just chokes up the same effect as if you stuck a banana up your cars exhaust Basically, the pressure at the exhaust has to be lower than the pressure at the turbine face or obviously gas would not flow
  13. Nemeth mi17 and captain sim c130 are two of my favs the mi17 feels the most realistic large-ish helo to me, lots better than any of the freeware ones ive tried ((seems to have got the feeling of momentum down better) out of the freeware ones, jordan moore's 412 is good, definately go to hovercontrol, they got lots of good heli stuff
  14. (assuming no other losses through the engine)..the pressure differential seen at the compressor face should equal the thrust? is that what they are saying
  15. Not entirely sure I understand the question, but remember F=ma high exhaust velocity means little if its not moving enough mass of gas not sure how you think a scramjet could work in a vacuum? apologies if I have missunderstood
