Have you done any modifications (mods/manual file editing/configuration tweaking) to the game?

CAT_101st, this may be a revelation for you, but Vikhr missile has sensor on back, not in front. And it's guided not by a single beam, but by a complex configuration of multiple ones. This configurations can intersect.

I think, he's about acquisition of other helicopter's guidance beam. E.G. when two 50's, flying in a close formation, shoot at one target. Shkval rasters may intersect in this situation.

Didn't get you clearly, but upgraded (or built after 2005) Su-33's are able to carry AGMs too.

Hint: Look at the name of the server again. The game sometimes proposes one of your old payloads there.

"Released" refers to gear handle. The marked switch ("Сухогруз - Режим") is a IRCM mode switch. There's a dedicated tutorial track describing it.

Agree, a misprint. But the less weight left to fuel. Do you have the same range-aspect graph for AIM-9 of any modification? F-16 manuals are declassified. Wider body=more powerful engine in this case. A toy Minuteman with a petard inside should be able to reach Moscow from California by your logic. In linear approximation - range is directly proportional to linear size (if other proportions are constrained). If you want - you may ask someone to calculate more precise, but I can predict the result. R-73 RMD-2 was positioned as "intermediate-class" missile in the later 90-s ;)

Read GG's, he stated 40km for Sidewinder ;) I've just spent about an hour digging various documents on AIM-9 modifications. And here's the result: with no dependence on seeker modification, it's range is limited by 18 km. But! Installing the TVC and consequently reducing size of air control surfaces (=>improving aerodynamics) on AIM-9X improves it's range in more than 2 times, while the motor - Hercules Mk36 - is almost the same as in M variant. The R-73 has had this advantage (TVC) initially. Moreover: AIM-9M: mass: 86kg. warhead: 4.5kg d/D: 127/560mm R-73 RMD-2: mass: 110kg. warhead: 7.3kg d/D:170/510mm (Length is almost the same; d=diameter; D=external diameter=wingspan) We see, that R-73 has lesser wingspan (and from the pics - wing area) (=lesser drag) and larger engine (=more impulse). So, no wonder that it's range is superior than the concurent's. And the same drill (with little correction) applies to RVV-AE vs. AMRAAM. I hope, this explains my position.

Let's assume I meant "prior to".

Try to discuss AIM-9 on cheese fans forum...

Want it or not, R-73 has got larger range than AIM-9 series up to 9X. I too. That info is correct. To the end of 1989 159GIAP has 38 or 39 planes, 582IAP - 36, both divisions were stationed in Poland. So - 75 total, 5-10 of which could be 2-seated UB variant. So... Are you still sure about "7 F-15 - 2Su-27" proportion? ;)

R-73 will have 55+km in such conditions. Don't slant. Also : at the moment I have a book "Su-27. The history of a fighter" in hands, which i've got directly from the director of the KnAAPO moscow representative office. It states, that the mass production of Su-27 began in 1986. Nothing about 1990. Will try to find numbers.

This should be a very strange logic. Remember that: 1.R-60MK is an export variant with reduced range. 2.Many open sources claim 18-27km maximum range for Sidewinder variants (incl. AIM-9X) - not only Wikipedia; the fact R-73 has 40km is also confirmed in some books "not for all". And this data is anyway more reliable than such conclusions. AIM-9 is a little undermodelled, yes. But it's not a wunderwaffe ;) Anyway, respect for initiative on creating the server.

2bandera: Здесь. Dronas, просто включи упомянутый файл в папку Debug.

It's not an error, it is a warning. Just uninstall it all and install again. Don't mind the message, the mod will work fine.

... Я же заблуждался только в том, что думал, что должность модератора на данном форуме оплачивается. ... Так же напоминаю уважаемым тестерам, что их труд очень высоко оценивается комьюнити и лично мной, но статус такового не является признаком элитарности, позволяющей вставание в позу и швыряние словами.

Для того, чтобы называть предложения и идеи скулежом и плеваться свысока? Нет.

А чем, собственно, ваша с Лайвинасом позиция отличается от "сидеть и просить"? Слов больше тратите? Нашли более убедительное обоснование? Но почему-то внедрение многих фич откладывают "до написания нового движка". И почему же, кстати, по твоей логике производство кампаний для устаревшего продукта не является бестолковой тратой времени? IMHO. Сам по себе набор кампаний в любом случае очень слабый повод выпускать новый диск. Самое большое, на что можно рассчитывать "по совести" - это продажа их через интернет на манер плагинов к Oblivion. А вот если добавить к этому некоторые мелочи, как то: решение пресловутых проблем с принтскрином и поеданием памяти в MP, пересмотр характеристик AIM-120C, "убийство" (если уж починка невозможна) кнопки "СОХР", AIM-120A/B (для ретро-миссий), Р-27АЕ, нормальные замковые держатели для Су-27/33 - это уже вполне потянет на аддон.

Дрэгони, я так понимаю, ты в свободное время снимаешь сериалы и пишешь книги? Между студентом-технарем, время от времени поигрывающим в сим и профессионалом-дизайнером, знающим, как, сколько и когда, разница отнюдь не только в возрасте. Каждому свое. И думайте что хотите, но пару-тройку качественных и профессиональных кампаний плюс небольшой патч (хотя бы так долго ожидаемый 1.13) я бы купил без колебаний.

Ok, sorry, misread you. Just seen too much guys saying that AESA is less powerful because of beam splitting. My bad.

2eurofor: haven't you seen this?..

The aspect is relation between visible length of the hull and real one and is determined by eye. http://www.23ag.ru/html/rakursy.html In short: aspect x/4~=x*22.5deg. from lengthwise axis; always the smalles angle is taken (left/right and front/back are not distinguished).

ViPer_svrd: Homing. Thanks, your translation is more precise. Esac_mirmidon: To make it crystal clear: This switch is used in 2 cases: 1.In BVR to manually override radar mode. For example, when you know from GCI that you're head on with a group of enemies - switching to corresponding pulse repeating frequency raises detection range by 10-25% 2.With "IIS" (as described above). AFAIK, this term means (as you said) RLPK failure, so the only way to use missiles (heat seekers and ARH) is to use Phi-0 mode. So, the second part of definition of two first switch positions refers to this case. SARH missiles - obviosly, can't be launched. And one more thing: "НПО" is not a mode. It's just a designation of a set of conditions (just like "СМУ" - hazardous weather conditions). You're welcome. A bit of language practice never hurts :)

That means a missile launch with radar/EOS failure, when it has to rely only on own seeker. The guidance system of a missile uses a bit different algorythms when shooting head on (in front hemisphere = "ППС") or "in-chase" (in aft hemisphere = "ЗПС"). Also it affects some parameters of heat-seekers. More precisely: "НПО"="incomplete instrumental support".
