SU-24 empty weight 22300 kg and max takeoff 43700 (rounded) SU-27 empty weight 16400 kg and max takeoff 30400 (rounded) The difference of max takeoff is 13.3 ton and empty weight of 5.9 ton. Boeing 737-600 empty weight 36.4 ton. (BTW) So by comparison it’s bit like a car a van and a minibus if only it was that simple. I.e. how does one get passengers in SU-27, oops, in SU-24 only one, and in 737, 150 passengers and no Kh-31. The aircraft engineers, bless them. :)

I get the drift

In that case RWR is not needed.

Why would anyone want to substitute one dickhead for another?

In a scenario with AWACS or without the flash of MIG’s radar could disperse friendly SU-25’s from the target area.

I had no intention of using an F-18 example as a sort of advice for landing an F-15, but rather to indicate the difference for the broader view. I do flare F-15 and tend to keep a little thrust until the touch down, not always perfect but always land. I guess there is an element of laziness when you know you are going to land it but it’s more work when you actually planning for the rollout and touchdown spot.

I’ve seen the series on TV about F-18 Canadian cadets, one of whom tried to land the jet by pulling on the stick and the instructor had to take control over, I’m only relying on my memory but it makes sense because by pulling on the stick you kill the speed and (it’s heavy at low speed) lets say the initial descent rate at 800-1000 f/min and reducing it to 200f/min by increasing the thrust. It wouldn’t jump at the correct AoA would it?

We have the learning tools like video tutorials, forums and manuals, real time training. It’s optional for any individual to go as far as they wish following the direction of their interests. My views on dynamics of combustion engines are unlikely to generate or eliminate queues of drivers.:unsure:

127.trk it is, bobbing yeah I do recall some thing like that but with all the fixes and 128 I forgot about it.

The good habits for landing is to pull back on the throttle slowly, idle at/after touchdown. F-18 Pilots don’t flare, all the throttle work they do, descent rate and angle of attack, more thrust before the touchdown.:huh: They don’t mess around.

Hi I’ve noticed the screen no longer turns black when flying through excessive G-Forces even though the controls become locked for a bit. Is that normal in 1.28 update? I have “simulation” setting in the options menu. Thanks.

As a virtual pilot, I’m not programmed to pay attention.:D

What speed are you doing?

Video, lyrics and music at work altogether.

It’s illegal to go mad for longer than 15 years.

I like it

Quite informed as it is. Live updates please.

A little update from me. When it learns to speak we’ll send it to combat school.

The ejection seat is not complex, try it.

I’d blame the flight engineer.

Alright then.

I have no clue.

We will like it.

Not once did you dunk it in oil tank.

If you are an aviator at heart, you gonna come to things you want to fly and it’s as simple as that, the hardware part doesn’t make you fly a plane.
