On a side note...I found this on a thread as listed above by Fri13: The SARH models of the R-27 do have inertial navigation to fly toward what the Soviets describe as mathematical targets till the launch aircraft paints the target and the missile homes on the reflected energy. That means they are lock on after launch and fly towards a point in the sky where the target is calculated to be when the missile gets there. The IR models don't have INS systems and require lock on before launch. The inertial guidance period of the R-27R and ER is described as being up to 60% of its flight trajectory. (Note for the R-24R that figure is given as 20%). The R-77 is 80% and has Lock on after launch capability. My question is how are they launching missiles without radar lock???What mode?

Ahh...I did not know that...then is this missile mod locked to 1985 data as well?? Valid question I think.

But my question isn't can it carry R-77 active...but rather can it carry R-27EA active? Which is already of the R-27 family...

What exactly is being said here??? That they employ 2 missiles to do one job...One radio missile and one IR missile? Or that the missile has two different modes of intercept? Radio guided then IR taking over... Or IR guided with a final burst of radar emission from the head to detonate in close proximity...Or Radio command guided with a final burst of radar emission from the head to detonate in close proximity?? Which also begs the question "Where does the R-27EA come into this?" Why no active radar missiles on the Su27's?

X-55 rhino users update for ghosting buttons Just an update on this issue that users with this problem maybe interested in.I just got off the phone with tech support, and they infored me that the Fix mentioned in this forum of adding an external 'Powered' usb hub to solve ghosting issues was NOT repeat NOT something they knew about or were aware of (as of today).Hopefully this brings us to a proper fix from saitek in the near future.

How are we supposed to taxi in and out of hangers if we can't see our wings?????Or around anything for that matter...

Mig 29 has no wings or tail in view This realistic?? Is the pilot to far forward to see the wings?

PADI certified here. most memorable dives...hmmm Wall diving off the coast of Victoria Island British Columbia,Beautiful.First checkout dive for Cert down around 60 ft...panicked...damned near drowned.I lived tho,heheh. Scallop diving for Scallop with shells the size of dinner plates on the east coast of Nova Scotia(fried them up with garlic and pepper for the girlfriend...she was very gratefull I recall...not sure which was better that or the dive??) Thinking a SunFish was a Great white shark in Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia (wanna see a diver fly??Don't think I touched the side of the zodiac...when you see a big grey fin pop outta the water ya don't ask questions! felt very silly afterwards,but we laughed our asses off, went back and petted him or her on the nose and looked it the eye) Also did a moonlight night dive there as well where I just sat on the bottom and watched the fish swim by...very cool. Discovering a tunnel like rock formation again on the east coast Nova Scotia. Called it the "Church Isle" cause it looked like being in a cathedral. Cavern diving in Florida,the water was like air you almost wanted to breath it...met a Russian Cave diver who had paid for his trip with titanium D rings.He was with the US caveing Team and when you looked at them in contrast It was really kinda funny.The US team all had spiffy new high tech stuff while the russian looked like he just crawled outta the 60's. My deepest dive to 120 feet for a wreck...dark...cold...loved it. Ahhhh...memories...I feel like I need to get wet.

Is that what thirdwire did?

There's an f-4 in the game already, all it needs is a cockpit...whats the problem? Thirdwire did it.

My own mission ,friendly airport...it DOES reload though...just don't get that "confirmation COPY" we used to get. Which is important as it told you if you where able to reload or not depending on the situation your aircraft was in.Was it taken out? I was in a Su-27 btw,using latest patch.

Ground crew doesn't acknowledge load out change requests anymore on ramp??

ECM INDICATOR LIGHTS,Where are they???.Nothing lights up when pressing the ECM key. edit ...never mind...I found them.(didn't have the pods on in instant action.)

NO..It completely disappears at about 10:30 11 o'clock ,no circle what so ever. EDIT...I figured it out...if you have "show mini hud" enabled ...it causes the problem.

At what point in our field of view is the HMS circle supposed to remain in view? As it is now it disappears around where the cockpit frame ends...are we not supposed to be able to target something at say our 9 to 10 o'clock??

Between Esim and Ed??...don't think its needed...and to be honest I'd rather they didn't as it might kick Esim in the ass to start supporting and improving their product to suit their "lesser priority" customers more. Competition is a mighty incentive.

God I hope your right

I edited my post to reflect that as well.

I have no doubt that ED can implement Armor to a high degree of realism...judging by the A10C...my worry would be that they can do it with a terrain to match. Cause if you can't do the terrain right ...you haven't got Sh@#. Having said that a "micro terrain" is concerning as well. Imagine the potential frame rate hit that might be.

That's probably because they do not need the help...they have gone straight to the horse...general dynamics(in regards to an M1a2)...as for a Russian tanks...who can say.Same for other MBTs.

FRAME RATE DROPS 20 FPS when guns are fired??? Running at 40fps...pull trigger and it drops to 20.

well it varied but I timed it twice at 16 out of 4 runs...one was 18 and another 17...this was eyeballin it out the window so it wasn't as accurate as it could/should be. Still it seems slow and I certainly didn't expect it to take longer. I noticed this in blackshark as well where the sense of speed seems to have dropped off these last patches compared to earlier builds.

Traveling at 350 MPH, just above the deck(about a 100 feet or so),it took 16 seconds to travel the length of the lochini airfield runway (3 km's) start to finish...seems awfully slow? Is it just me or does the sense of speed seem off?

There are now 2 aircraft folders in our mods folder ...why?...and can we delete the older one? Would save almost 2 gig of space.

50% of that statement could have been applied what 3,4,5 years ago??...that's the point. They keep breaking stuff in their process and in some case never fix what they break.
