i want to mount one onto my car

Good spotting, yes it is a typo i mean right cntrl.

yeah the current planes are quiet old and russians are known for their bad electronics during this time. It is definitely a good feeling when you are able to gain air superiority due to skill.

I have a quick question. In the controls of the russian radars there is the option to select target size (r alt and + or -) and change scan zone range (r cntrl + or -) but these both change the exact same thing. The only difference between the two is that the L CNTRL moves it up an down in 5 unit increments, while r alt moves it up quickly as it is held down. I believe from watching the tutorial that it was needed to input the scan zone range when slewing the radar up and down. Please help as i would like to know why changing the target size the radar is looking for changes the scan range. Thanks in advance. This can be seen particularly in the mig-29s controls under sensors.

About head on detection, what determines the 12-18km(non afterburner target) range. Is it things like enemy engine rpm (cruise-military), size, temperature outside, and altitude etc. Also what would you think the detection would be for an after burning target.

Hello me again. I just played a very long game online with some friends. I had the same occurance happen when i am in bvr mode in a wvr fight (as you do with ruskies), and i turned my irst on (o) indicated by a t on the hud (note: there is no r under it... i am not a newbie) i found myself behind my enemy who was searching for me (who was also on ts). he promptly turned around as my irst was tracking him and we engaged eachother. r-27et and aim-120c at close range. We both died. He later told me i had my radar on and he got a mig-29 warning (which was my aircraft but the same occured to me in a su27 as previously posted). Obviously there is a problem with irst giving out radar waves to f-15c's rwr. I have always flown around without radar and irst, flying low and fast thinking i am invisible. This has mostly worked for me, but now i realize the enemies i have killed with ets were most likely novices, preoccupied or perhaps this irst glitch is a (not so) rare occurence. I plan on doing some more tests to make sure i am not half asleep when i turn my irst on etc. Another bug with the irst i have found is as follows, when i am tracking a target, i always turn on the radar for a second or two to get the "F" on the hud for friendly or not. This also gives me a more accurate range to target. I tested with my friend doing the same trick but leaving radar on and he said he didn't get a solid lock tone. He was in a russian jet so i know that friendly radars are not dismissed (as i play flanker/fulcrum most of the time) Another small bug i have found is aa vehicles such a buks tracking targets (me) whilst i am behind hills. I believe this is unrealistic for radar waves to act. I have reason to believe aircraft do this as well sometimes. But not enough evidence.

Hi sorry if this has been posted as i have heard about it. Two of my friends have recently bought fc3 and they happened to be flying f-15c's. I snuck up on them with irst and a lock. They reported mig-29s's searching for them on their rwr. before hand i did a similiar thing in a mig-29s but this time i was in a su-27. It seems irst in bvr mode is seen as a mig-29 radar pinging the f-15c. can anyone concur?

Hello, i am a student so i am still learning everyday. I would like to learn more about rocket science. I decided to post here instead of doing my own research to help inform others, i also am lazy and like information to come to me :). One thing i would like to know is how the maximum g of a missile can effect its chance of hitting a head on target. Assuming a high energy aim-120b or c is heading towards a drone, (based on a mig-29 or other nimble aircraft) what is the chance of the aim-120 (with 40g max turn in fc3?) hitting the nimble drone doing barrel rolls (seems to be best method for me so far). edit: i read somewhere (from some guys forum post) that in order for a missile to hit a target turning, it needs 5 times the g capability for a hit.

there is no mig-29 in front of it

do you think it is possible once all the other stuff is complete the encyclopedia could be updated :)

are they being tweeked on their effective ranges in the encyclopedia?

What's wrong with fc3? Except for the fact you can't click with the mouse on cockpit, i think it is legit.

hi i am also stuck on this mission and i wish to continue because i do enjoy the campaign, i am similiarly stuck with the flanker campaign. please someone help

so it takes the aim120 8NM to reach mach4

why is that?

motion sickness :). I use a ps3 controller because im a poor student and cant afford buying a joystick lol.

hi it is in su27 campaign single player ill quickly check to make sure it is above 60 degrees before i post the track edit: ok i went over it quickly and the two enemy f-16s both are at 90ish degree angle from me and my ai flanker plus the one infront engages su25t which is thier main objective. the action starts around 60 minutes here is the track http://www.mediafire.com/?23k761ggdme8uar and here is a low quality small yt video i recorded from the track for easy viewing of the aim120 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM9NFJhWNYI&feature=youtube_gdata

hi is it normal for an active missile(in perticular the aim120b) to obtain a target 60-80 degrees below? Also do jammers effect aim120 radar

im no aeronautical engineer but aim7s are sarh so they need a radar to home them and i dont think the enemy radar jammer is gonig to do that for you though i may be wrong im 60% sure im right lol

along the left hand side there is a panel, around the middle there is picturees of tanks planes etc. click on the plane one then look to the left and you should see the country and some tabs of which plane you want, other tabs include ai level-hard easy client(player controlled).

when cranking should i be going down and up as well as side to side?

i think the idea of this is to show information maybe the beta testers havn't found like every detail about these missiles to help the updates come quicker so we can plaay

what is notching? i heard he was beaming which is going perpendicular to the radar.

so with sead config can you use the kh58s and 25mpus on the aircraft? Also the ops tactic of firing at 20NM wouldnt this render you almost dead because by then the aim120c is already fired, atleast this is always the case for me. My tactics in russian planes is to be sneaky and flank. Otherwise retreat and have 1 of the other 2 migs flank :)

could i maddog an r73 10km away?
