Great choice on the Skymaster, simple but high performance piston.

I will be really happy if everyone can download my music :thumbup: But, unfortunately, at the moment you can download music only unofficially, through any soundcloud downloader. Someday all the music will necessarily appear in the form of albums for download :music_whistling:
Pardon me for asking, but do you have any sheet music for it? Or a midi file or something that sheet music could be made from? I would really like to try playing this on piano.
Thanks!

Inbox, clear. Desktop, clear. What OCD?
Same here, except my desktop has 2 folders... named in tradition of what i used them for like 8 years ago..."Zips", where i used to put, wait for it, zip files (where i now put files i want to keep temporarily) and Stuff", where i put stuff i want to keep indefinitely (and obviously it is properly organized). :lol:

Shame the plane was totaled but that was good belly landing and the pilot walked out from.
In the interview he said the plane was getting fixed.
-
Part of me thinks he did that on purpose...

Hey kolga, Im like that now. Or I was probably, I start to take it more serious now. Before also a lot messing around, no procedures. But its not getting me anywhere. I will put more effort as of now, and also try to learn the right way. ) Guys, I do try to use brakes if I manage to land in one piece, but it needs practise for sure
:thumbup:

I think I really need to work out my routines to how to approch landing in general, and get some theory reads also...
Definitely. I had a lot of trouble until i sat down and got serious and flew like i meant it (before, i basically just messed around with zero procedure and zero consistency, and as you can imagine my flying suffered severely, i could hardly hold altitude, couldn't stay coordinated ect) You will learn a lot from the flying manual, I have not read the British one, but i read a lot of the Airplane Flying Handbook from the 1980s and it helped my thought processes quite a bit.
And most of all have fun!

My advices to learn landings:
- start out in calm weather without crosswinds
- do a proper approach (up wind leg, base leg and final approach)
- watch your height and your speed (use always the same altitude, e.g. 1000ft AGL and start to decent at the final approach)
- watch for one thing at a time: first align to the runway, then watch your speed, short before the runway thrust idle and just concentrate on a nice landing, dont put the plane down keep it short above the runway and let the plane land itself.
at the end it all comes down to practice, since you dont have an instructor in your backseat as it would be when you learn to land a real plane, just dont mind about crashed planes.
Theres always a next try in a virtual world ;)
+1!!!

Hey kolga, thanks for the input. Ill take a look at the tracks. So you saying I should leave axis as default? I do like to have some deadzone, otherwise the stick is too sensitive..
No problem, hope it helps. I personally have no curve on the joystick and that works really well for me, but i have i different stick so you may have to experiment. What i would do is try flying only in the pattern doing takeoffs and landings (while taking some of the excellent advise by our fellow forum users) for a while (maybe an hour or two or so (doesn't have to be in a row either), whatever fits your schedule) and if you don't see much improvement try a little curve and then do some more.
-
I don't know if this helps, but i made a quick track of 3 landings (a 3 point, a very bat wheel landing (i wasn't paying attention), and a decent wheel landing). This is just the way i do it, so it is far from perfect, but i almost never crash on landing so it seems to work pretty good.
-
Cheers guys. Maybe you can suggest also axis settings ? I have a logitech 3d pro joystick.
I wouldn't mess with the axis settings for the stick too much (if at all), i personally use a little curve on the rudder, but not on the stick. Do you have pedals?
-
You should be at an appropriate height into the circuit, say 1200ft, or 1500ft and trim, preferably entering it before downwind, conduct your landing checks on downwind, this includes drop flaps and U/C, be at say around 150mph for that, retrim, turn onto base when the threshold is around 45 degrees behind your wingtip, then on base start your descent, trim the aircraft once established in the desired descent, always trim the aircraft, whether you're in a steady climb, steady descent, or straight and level, it'll reduce your workload and prevent hunting, or PIOs, turn finals, adjust your approach speed for say around 110-120mph, and trim, as you lose sight of the numbers begin to bring the throttle back to idle and and gently ease the stick back a little to hold-off from landing, let the aircraft settle on its own, once on the ground stick eased full-back and let the aircraft slow on its own, only used the brakes once you can look out the side and envisage say a run/sprinting speed.
You'll get used to the sight-picture of the airfield when it's right, too low? Throttle up a little and adjust the pitch to maintain the desired approach speed, too high? Throttle back and let the nose come down a bit to maintain the desired approach speed, do not nose down to make the runway, you'll speed up and use up the runway.
You took the words right out of my mouth.

This video helped me a lot with the landings:
9X6j-6WyUvo
He doesn't really know what he's talking about, you never fly directly over and parallel with the runway, he bounced pretty bad (however i have bounced much worse many times), his pattern was sloppy ect.
-
Have fun if you do it! And (obviously) do some serious practice in DCS beforehand!
(I haven't done it, I'm just throwing some encouragement your way)

Oh, Ok! Thank you!
P.S. In the More>Edit track>Permissions you can enable downloads so people can download your music directly from Soundcloud, if you want.

Many thanks you all, guys!
You can install it yourself. Just unzip this file:
https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=184535&stc=1&d=1526302202
to the folder "\Sounds\EditorMusic" of any of your mods (\LockOnExe\Mods), to replace its music.
Or you can replace the default music in \LockOnExe\Sounds\EditorMusic (Do not forget to rename files in the same way).
Be sure to back up previous music if you want to return it later.
Is there a way (if it is alright with you) that we could download the normal version just to listen to?
Thank you!
(As a musician i totally understand if you don't want your music to be downloaded)

Well done! And i expected nothing less from a master like BTD for a master like Igor!

I think that is how we all feel at this point :lol:

Good idea.
:thumbup:

You were measuring fin length relative to missile length. Fin length is the same, missile length is almost 20% longer. You also failed to spot the change in diameter.
25% out on burn time.
But it couldn't because the missile had no fuel left and was still in tact. I was right on all these things.
You also showed AIM-9X videos remember. So your take is that inert flashes grow in FLIR by a factor of 20 but explosive warhead flashes only grow by a factor of 2 because glow factor.
No we have an explosion with the slightest of gaps between that and the trail. Now in this small gap it could be that the missile lost energy and was no longer flying before auto destruct, or it could be that the missile turned changing the airflow briefly.
The conversation surrounds the video, not what a contractor may or may not think.
Shown it many times.
I can see this discussion is going nowhere, it looks like we have both said all we can say and are starting to go in circles. I suggest we suspend this debate until some type of official statement or real proof is made/found.
I respect you as a fellow forum user and human being, and i hold no grudge against you. We had better stop before it just devolves into personal attacks.
It has been fun, Sir!

What? Did someone make a new batch? :lol:

1. R-27ET is 4.8m, R-27 is 4.1m. Not 2%. Also has a clear bulge as diameter increases.
I wasn't measuring lengths. (wrong numbers again also)
2. Yep, out by 25% on burn time.
I just suggested that it could be a flash, you claimed there was a missile hit where there was a ditch and you can't even get the missile lengths right and you expect me to trust your guesstimations?3. Claiming a flash where there was none, then you begin measuring flashes LOL.
When have i claimed that? We have no videos of an inert strike with motor still burning other than the tiny stinger, which made a flash, contrary to what you have been claiming the last 25 pages.4. Brimstone flash is 20m in normal video and 40m on FLIR, you try claim 1-2m flashes or clouds on normal video become 50m on FLIR.
We have irrefutable proof of a MANPADS trailing for 10 sec and then continuing without trailing.5. Wasn't wrong.
You don't seem to be paying attention, did you read what i said?6. Contractor has drawn bad conclusions.
That is the best you have? Ok, show it.7. 50m wide flash.
-
So just to recap:
1) Wrong on R-27 dimensions;
2) Therefore wrong on burn time too;
3) Wrong on presence of flash in AIM-9X video;
4) remaining argument based on whether a 'claimed' flash about 1-2m wide in normal video can be 50m wide on FLIR. Let's see, Brimstone is maybe 15-20m wide in normal video and 40-50m in FLIR. Apache 30mm HE flashes are maybe 1-2m wide in normal video and ~4m in FLIR. Somewhere in there is your answer but you will never admit it.
How is that a recap? It deals with mostly OT side topics.
1. Yep, the only measurement you can find wrong was off by 2%, not a bad record.
2. Sure, it doesn't really matter.
3. Yep, another one that is basically meaningless, it has very little to do with the actual discussion , and it was just a thought, not something i would fight for, which is why i dropped it as soon as i realized the motor was burned out.
4. What flash are you talking about? The one you say is a small warhead? Show the 50m flash. All the flashes you mention are on military FLIR which (as shown in the apache videos) has some type of flash suppression, something i doubt is present on LE FLIR.
5. If being wrong about a couple of things destroys my credibility, why doesn't being wrong about missile trails (and being hilariously wrong on the whole axle/transmission thing) harm yours? Double standard.
6. I ask again, do you think Mfezi is lying? Yes, we have no inert hits, but we have nothing contradicting his claim.
7. What is your best evidence for detonation?
(Your attempted disengage and divert has been noted, don't think you are getting away with this........) ;)

Sorry for necro, but i was wrong about this by the way... Sorry
