I'd love to know how the F-111s still perform, I guess the F-22 would now be able to chase it down.

What would be nice is a lua model, similar to the ATC mod that implements a detailed radar algorithm. ED could re-use or borrow bits off to improve the modelling in DCS.

Very nice so far, are you going to attempt to describe algorithms to simulate each principle?

We do, got some refs? As long as the seeker knows it's a helo. Tell Robert Shaw that lol.

Shaw's book mentions that Helos are very difficult tgts (due to the slow speed and maneuverability) and a fighter pilot can end up on the wrong side of 30mm cannon very quickly. Best tactic may be to use bombs. A2A Missiles may also struggle with the doppler affect of the rotor ... UAVs: Same can be said for bombers, fighters etc ... :pilotfly:

Just put on your deep voice and click the I'm over 18 box.

Yeah its a pretty view looking up from the maintenance shed heheh

what are the breasts for near the digital keyboard unit?

what happens if your airborne and the mission ends?

Nice work RvE, thank god for guns :) Looking forward to seeing the ECM exploit etc.

Australian fbw MRH90s enter initial service http://www.defence.gov.au/media/download/2007/Dec/20071218b/index.htm

Ruling the skies for 20 more years? lol

Yeah new super power in the region if they equip them with Meteors :) Nothing (except maybe the F-22s data link comes close to what the Swedes have)

Might have something to do with the recoil and the MMS, it's fine on the RMS. But it's a very capable gun will be nice to see how it performs once it gets airborne?

That's a gun for a different purpose than the GIAT http://www.waffenhq.de/flugzeuge/rmk30.html

Hi CrazyFlyCat, I use coroutines to process a chunk of the mplog, and when the mission exits process what's left in the mplog/asynlog files. function LuaExportStop() stats_engine.complete_processing() stats_engine.destroy() end function update_stats(t) while true do stats_engine.process_buffer() coroutine.yield() end end function CoroutineResume(index, tCurrent) coroutine.resume(Coroutines[index], tCurrent) return coroutine.status(Coroutines[index]) ~= "dead" end CoroutineIndex = CoroutineIndex + 1 Coroutines[CoroutineIndex] = coroutine.create(update_stats) LoCreateCoroutineActivity(CoroutineIndex, 1.0, 60.0)

The only russian source I can find states 2-4mrad. And far the biggest factor in accuracy is stabilizing and predicting where the rounds will go. Also where do you get the range of 4000m, the same russian site stats 4km for sighting range???

Love how the Testers quote back the "when it's ready" furfy! I'm sure DCS would have internal dates and the when it's ready is for the poor public consumption. Try telling that to you boss at work :)

Hi Crazy, Sorry missed your post. You can export directly form lomac to mysql using a module called luasql (http://www.keplerproject.org/). That's what we do over at 3sqn. It's a little bit tricky getting it to compile with the old lua dll used by lomac but it works well once done. PM me if you want some more details. But it looks like you've got it working with your scripts.

There you go FF!! The poor lazy western designers :detective_2: 1 mrad for the Tiger (Apache would be close to that) 2-4 mrad for the Ka50 Not that I take those figures with a grain of salt but nevertheless, they're the only published numbers available.

Videos speak louder than words, I'm struggling to find any Ka-50 cannon vids at long range. The only one I can find is a short burst at very close range, nothing Mi-28, Apache or Tiger couldn't replicate. :joystick:

I'm confused ... those shots are at 1000m and at least a couple of rounds per salvo hit the target (which is very small) I'd say that's pretty accurate. Even the "quoted figures" of the Ka-50 would be getting similar performance at that range: 2-4 mrads, roughly +- 1 or 2 meters. Also given the UK's Apache experience in Afghanistan I wouldn't under estimate the usefulness of a chin mounted turret. http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/afghan-field-report-british-wah-64ds-04289/#more

hehe pick one! http://www.pure-mac.com/puzzle.html

Nice find. Notice the range of the first cannon shots 1090 meters.
