Then what's up with the 110 pics of F-18 this maniacs (ED) posted on facebook?

I guess F/A-18E or F-15C, but what do I know.

:lol: :lol:

I`ll try to play with range, and see how it goes, thx.

Found this article I`d like to share: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2011/03/16/farewell-to-directx/1 It is about DX, limiting the game developers through it`s API, and not fully unleashing the power of PC`s. On the other hand, it keeps a standard that makes it easier for a game (or sim :D) to be compatible with multiple machines. What do you think?

This I would like to do. Technical it should be possible with the approximate coordinates you get from JTAC to launch your LGB, so that it is in the guidance area. But I still don´t know how to make the JTAC lase the target in the ME. This threads are somehow related: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=70415

It worked because: 1. he could get exact coordinates with the TGP 2. he uses JDAM, so no lasing needed

Apparently a F-15 E crashed in Libya. One crew member so far recovered. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12816226

This is wrong: 20 µSv = 0.02 mSV To reach 8 SV, you would need to eat 80 milion bananas, not 8.

This is not always the case. See for e.g. this simple mission: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68537 The JTAC will only give me coordinates, through Datalink, even if he advises me to use LGB`s.

And what happen then? :D

..I don´t understand anymore.. Under which condition (what do I have to set in ME) will JTAC support you with buddy lasing? Is it a different laser code, is it the distance, there must be some logic?

It could work if the bombs are in a cloud free zone during the guidance phase.

That's what I asked also, here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1145272&postcount=26 but no answer. You need different laser code for the JTAC to get laser guidance from him right?

Yeah, but he put :P at the end, which grands him the right to eat oxymorons for breakfast. And now I`ll show you another powerful weapon, behold the :D

Nice! Maybe this fixes also the windows cursor appearing in external view. Keep my finger crossed!

Amen to that!

The guy was in charge of the dynamic campaign. But I agree that the AI in DCS is not the smartest, especially in Air. On ground I don't care so much. This will be critical when DCS fighter comes out. I hope we won't have to go A2A against the FC2 AI. What made the F4 AI nice was the fact that it was more human, like some fighters would scramble home if the felt underpowered.

Where do you guys change the JTAC laser code in the mission editor?

That's why we're here! Happy Birthday!

I'm sorry for that. You are right I lost my patience at that point, comes with age. My point was that one should differentiate between "heat" as thermodynamical process in which thermal energy is transferred from point to the other and whatever form of radiation, might it be IR, or thermal radiation. Thermal radiation is not thermal energy is not heat. Sorry again if my comment was disrespectful.

I stopped reading here. Can you find "heat" in the next picture?

This: and this: This: and this: You guys agree, but don't know it yet :D

Not necessarily. Eg.: A decomposition: out of one molecule you get two of then, no energy transfer but increase of entropy. "Heat" is not the property of a system. We say a milkglass is hot. It's wrong; It is not hot until you put your cold fingers on it. This, and the whole part about PLank's law is on spot! It shows exactly why it is inexact to associate heat with IR. Also, you feed energy to a molecule, it is the property of that molecule how it will give that energy back: The best example is: You give energy to a light bulb, and it gives light. You give the same energy to the Track IR emitter on top of your screen, and it gives you IR. Question: which one is hotter? As a bottomline, a IR receiver has *nothing* (in this context) to do with heat. Yes, IR emitters are to some degree "hot" if you touch them. But saying they emit IR because they're "hot" is wrong. It is just the explanation given so that normal Joe can understand it.

I'm not in the nuclear business myself, that was what I heard at a conference from some who are in the energy business. I don't want to quote anything, since this all political, and for every quote, some might find 10 others against it. Plus a certain degree of speculation is required when you make such affirmations.
