  1. its not step back (if thats what you are saying) its a small upgrade for DCS (and FC2) that will expand localizable terms/strings an expanded codepafe support. then you distribute those translations. if something is mission (untranslated) it will show up in english. localization gettext files (mo) and strings should be kept outside of the programmers loop. it takes a small effort by programmers, but once they do that they will put all this issues related to lang patches aside. it is done in such way for any linux project, don't see the reason it cannot be done here. I have created Croatian translation, but it is next to useless because I'm not able to (re)create font files with Croatian specific characters. Even in this form, it makes no difference to the game...
  2. Can't wait! Kepp up with the good work! :thumbup:
  3. ED should change the way DCS is localized. Patch the game (core), regardless of the language. Those that are using localized content can still play without any problems, and have localized content minus latest additions. Its way simpler for programmers - they do not have to wait for translators, they only need to provide ability to localize the content. And especially to provide option to use language specific characters in game. Do that once, and you are settled for life.
  4. Russians would never use such terms. Your s are culturologically NATO-istic. Like, they do not use terms "fox one" or "fox two" as directly translated into Russian. They are more after macho or poetic terms, not that dungeons-and-dragons crap.
  5. In FC-ONE, I was able to lock and shoot down H-58 with R-27R/ER. Here are some pics: http://lockonhr.com/forum/index.php?topic=2002.0 I guess it can be done with any missile that AI can shoot at, like H-29T. I have not tried with other missiles. I have not tried in FC2.
  6. Two of my buddies visited the show, but are too shy to post here by themselves. Here are few pics, and for more visit their topic on Croatian forum... camouflaged diapers:
  7. I know there are opaque IR filters, but in that size and shape? Also, they are hard to manufacture, and they are never that resistant to debris (produced by nose gear), so they would have to have some sort of external cover, like the "other pod". For me, this is the primary factor. It is very, very similar to any older Soviet ECM pod. Too similar. Also, I've lost a link so from a memory, Kinzhal was to be terrain following radar, thus not needing rounded radome like Kopyo.
  8. Nope, as I said: It cannot be IR cover cos IR device is optical device. Therefore, it has to use the same shape as any other cover for any other optical device - FLAT. Either it will be tinted to filter visible light, or fully transparent and the filter will be placed on camera itself. There are IR devices with curved covers, but I do not think that Russians had technology to build them in this size and shape. And quality! Finally, it cannot be of such squashed eggy shape. It has to be (part of) a sphere. AND - it would have a protective cover, such as LLTV pod has. Radome does not need such protection. Its cheap plastic that you can cheaply replace.
  9. Overscans guide says: Khod OKB: Geofizika Imaging infrared (FLIR) pod for SU-25TM, operating in 8-14 micron band. Sukhoi tested it on the T-8TM1 prototype from 1991, and cancelled it in late 1994, reportedly unhappy with both range and stabilisation. And... Mercuriy OKB: MNITI Chief Designer: K K Chizhikov Mercuriy has two lenses for wide and narrow FOV. Low-light-level TV camera developed for various platforms including the Ka-50. A pod version was developed for the Su-25T. Wide and narrow (5.5 x 7.3 ° ) field of view from two separate lenses as seen above. here is something that can help: http://warfare.ru/?linkid=1611&catid=256 Avionics: Radar: Kinzhal (dagger) 8 mm MMW radar abandoned and replaced by podded Kopyo-25 pending provision of a new Kinzhal using Russian rather than Ukrainian parts. (...) Khod (motion) night attack IIR pack, with Merkur LLTV (...) Pod in upper part of the image, marked as "Merkurij LLTV", clearly has radome, not IR transparent cover, or movable cover. It resembles much to any other Russian ECM or radar pod. I say Kinzhal radar. Pod marked as "Khod FLIR" is optical device. If not, then its booster engine. It is very wide, thus capable of handling two separate lenses. I say Merkurij LLTV. What is modeled in LOFCFC? I say - many things are done to make equipment "more balanced". And "more simple" for programmers. There is IR for A-10 (Maverick). With one stroke you can hit two flies - make Su-25T balanced with A-10 with introducing IR for it, and no need to develop third view option. As true LLTV will demand more programing.
  10. Thanks, but, erm, I don't have anything to offer... Please, first one to reply may take over :)
  11. Yeah, but there are 10 aircraft, and I hate messing around with those files. And what if someone remapped some "regular" keys? And they don't have hotas?
  12. Naturally that I could do it, but - you know - there are gentlemen, and there are gentlemen... I don't think we will have resources to organize enough umpires that will run between players, checking up on their monitors. I would like to avoid any chance of cheating, intentional or otherwise. Maybe with some LUA script that will disable those views? And this thing with tacview sounds interesting cos you don't have to install FC2 (for many reasons, I will have to make sure all FC2/DCS copies are legal). Or, to disable those keycommands on clients?
  13. You mean, around 00:30? Thats cos on left your looking at the exhaust fumes, and on right your looking into the engine (afterburner flame).
  14. Thanks for replies! Tower view is too hard to do. No go :( Maybe to allow externals, but to disable keypads on clients? Some players will bring their own PC's, but I hope there will be few PC's arranged by show organizer. I think we could spend some time on deleted those commands? If so, to make it a precise cleaning, I would like to use application to search and find for certain strings. But, what strings I should be looking for? We plan that players will be seated in a way that they will not be able to see big screen. They will be separated, like in a small booths, probably from cardboard, nothing fancy. Anyway, its all under negotiation at this moment, and there could be only one or two regular monitors, no wall screen. But I hope we could borrow a decent projector. I know that Tacview can be run in real time - I've read that here, but I was never able to make it work. At least, not with regular scripts that come with tacview. It may be abstract, but come to think of it it, it would be pretty cool to have it in real time for this purpose. In a way, it may be much easier to follow the action and to use it to pinpoint most interesting external views? We will have tacview and other scripts enabled, leavu, lovp, lotatc... in case hardware will permit those. I have no plans for live streaming over internet for now.
  15. What does that do? Will I be able to display external views for various planes? Thats the whole point (forgot to mention, sry). I do not want to display only cockpit view, but also external, padlock, map... but for audience only, not for players!
  16. Hi, My squaddies are planing some FC2 LAN party during airshow, and later some LAN competitions and other shows(offs). We would like to set up players so they don't have external views or padlock (Ace settings), but we would like to have one PC to display live action for audience, on a big monitor/screen. We would like to avoid using pic from server, rather to connect another PC just for this purpose. Any ideas how to do that?
  17. What does that mean? It looks like sorting, but according to what? Regarding searchbox, it works much better, but you have to be exact if looking for a squad member. Example for player =WING=RogerRabbit: Searching for "wing" or "roger" will produce NO results. You have to type "=WING=" for a list of players with such prefix, and "RogerRabbit" will produce nothing at all. I guess it is related to sql query scewed up by non-alphabetic characters - I have similiar problem with my database :mad: Groundunits - Ground units Seaunits - Naval units Thanks for replies and glad to help :)
  18. GRAUA HAHAHAHHAHH ! darn: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Udat again
  19. How about some nice Gibraltar Airport panorama :D
  20. Thanks for keeping us posted. Few questions: Sort. - hows that work? Desroyed - what? (btw Destroyed) Sunk - maybe "Ships" ? Shoot down - "Aircraft lost" ? sea - "naval" Also, search box not working. But, great, great work, and very nice design :)
  21. Yup, no need to go to extremes in any case :)
  22. @Smoky - OK on that, as long as not dead serious :) @Protos - Lately there are people with so paranoid and exclusive attitudes that it really scares me. There is so much crap in real life, can't we be more relaxed here? There were few posts around here by someone who must feel that he is important in community, cos on my opinion about policing he did not hesitate to fire back with bunch of insults. cheers
  23. astrospud has it right. there are more and more guys here that are just so freaking serious that is is freaking. like some sort of fanatics, not willing to listen to any suggestion, and more then happy to storm on anybody that dares to criticize or (godforbid) doubt this dogma. You cannot voice ones free opinion unless you're ready to be called sh**head. Smoky, I know how you feel, but that oath - c'mon man! thats for inter-squad rules. besides, how you're gonna enforce that? do you have some virtual police in plan? and do you think it will help this sim? to ban 90% of paying customers in the start? cos, its about how many are NOT playing up to your rules right now. and they will never learn (nor appreciate them) if you ban them. internet created greatest freedom in the world equally for all people, and you are all competing over who is going to be the biggest brother of them all? jeez! cmon people, whats with all this paranoia and police brutality? what happened to all of you? for crissake, this is a GAME, it should be fun.
