  2. WOW WOW......
  3. Oh lord....., yes, yes, very phrophressionall.
  4. Congratulations for you short movie, it is a very good piece. And also a good pilot¡¡¡¡¡
  5. Great news¡¡¡¡¡ Well done and thanks for this update, after just two months from release, we have an almost bug free aircraft. Specially the cleaning of the navigation system, a very important step. It is amazing that you work so fast, and take our feedback in a such constructive way, congratulations for your positive attitude and your module.
  6. On the last summer, and thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, the CIA released a very interesting document done 20 years ago. The document was a deep historical explanation of two secret programs that the CIA and the Air Force run for two decades: The U-2 and OXCART programs. The document, The Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance: The U-2 and OXCART Programs, 1954-1974, is a very interesting read about how this programs were made operational and it has a lot of information about the flights that were carried over the Soviet Union, including the one that did´t reach home. It is a long read, but is worth the time because the info that contains, a lot covering how the operations at Groom Lake AFB were made, the flight paths of the planes, the United Kingdom collaboration, and a lot over the geopolitical situation of the time, like operation Fish Hawk were the U-2 was operated from a carrier to film the French nuclear tests on the Pacific. The link is to a National Security Archive that has an explanation about the document, and the document itself is linked at the end of the page. Hope you enjoy it. http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB434/

  7. Actually this are great news, as this is the final point before release, I guess, we have to be very near of a release date¡¡¡ I hope your good work with this bird will end with a lot of PC pilots training over the net with the C-101. I will.
  8. Because they have plenty of them...
  9. From my little experience I would say that the most part of us, me for sure, are forgetting the plane´s weight at landing, and having problems because that. On my first days I didn´t make the maths to land within the weight limits of the aircraft, and I was having troubles with her when landing, I overshoot the runway or bounce all over the place, usually I end exploding on one side of the runway.... After reviewing on the forum some good landings I realize that I was always too heavy, I begin to do some calculations about the fuel and since then all my landings are smooth and without the jumpy-burning thing¡¡¡ Like xxJohnxx said before stick to this and you will be alright: No more than 500L with two AA missiles and empty fuel tanks. No more than 700L with no external stores. If you are coming with more fuel than that, just establish a pattern near the airfield to burn the extra weight.
  10. How I didn´t seen this before...? Great liveries, both are really nice and represents very well two specials aircraft. I will use them for default on the Hornet from now, a "standard" tail from the Ala 15 version will be great...Nice work So thanks for this and rep inbound from me.
  11. This is a very important thing to understand. Good point, I agree totally.
  12. One of the more interesting thread for me in some time, a lots of things to learn about the Mig, I´m loving this plane more every day and I will have to tie my hand to the joystick once again and listen to the instructor. It is great to have this kind of material and see how things are explained in RL. So thanks to all contributors.
  13. Yes I did because in my work, my laptop is a very important piece of the sound system, usually the control core. I also answer your question with another question: have you checked the screens of a Midas Consoles XL8 or a Digico SD7? Those are no toys, those are very expensive pieces of hardware designed to travel around the world and work in very hard conditions for very long times, and to be very, very reliable. Can you imagine a band saying to a 30.000 people crow that they can´t perform the show because the mixer doesn´t work? :thumbup:
  14. I see it as an improvement. I do sound engineering, almost always I do big festivals and tours, and from many years now we use digital mixers, and lately they are operated only from big touch screens, and it is a big advantage in work flow and flexibility compared with the old analog mixers. But one crucial thing is redundancy, is not unusual to experience problems with them, sometimes because the heat, or the dust, sometimes software problems, like double commands with just one touch, and sometimes a zone inside the screen don´t want to work for some minutes. So a great step, but if you have one big and nice screen with a lot of useful functions that you are not allowed to use for serval seconds or minutes, you are really in troubles..
  15. Or some advertisement on Indian business...
  16. Highly interesting, I didn´t understand the most part of what the narrator says, but I can pick up a lots of things. Watching it slowly and with a paper and a pencil can be very instructive, and is a good exemple of how this aircraft used to operate. Thanks for this link¡¡¡
