Just create pilot and in the next column you will see your name i.e | F-15C | Stefan | If you are playing with defalut players (Pilot1) it looks like this: | F-15C | Pilot1 |

NO!! Lets keep the ingame planes as the plane are in real...

Yeah it would be great to see improved skins of some planes...

Norman... Pomysl fajny ale i tak sie nie zgodze co do tych ogromnych odleglosci. W walkach na krotkie dystanse na bank bylo by to milo ogladac ale na 60 km tak czy tak tego nie zobaczysz bo nawet od lustra na ta odleglosc promienie by sie nie odbily... Co do dachow to sie zgodze bo maja o wiele wieksza powierzchnie ale co do wiatrolapu to bym sie nie zgodzil

But you are talking about WWII air fights?? How do you imagine this sun reflection from canopy when enemy plane is 60 km away from you??

:?: :!: You really have Lock On? :wink: Hmm... try to put 27T on a russian 29A. The S takes them but not the A, don't know why but it's so. Yes some of them can. It all depends on a modernisation. Basicly the MiG's 29A (9-12) (as they were delivered) couldnt take R-27T missiles, they were modernised so now thay can.

WOW!! That's cool... I like the one with that bright explosion. Really cool, thanks mate :D

Re: Help with B1-B refueling It is not implented in LOMAC, long ago I tried to make F-16C for refueling but they didn't do it... Maybe in 1.1 it will be possible or maybe in LOMAC 2?? :)

The answer is "Strike Fighters: Project One"

I agree with you guys. I dont use external views now and I must admit that I never used F5. If I would be separated I will come back to external views.

I d/l'ed beta version of those drivers and now I'll d/l them once again. Thanks mate.

GGTharos>> I dont fly A-10 so I cant be sure about that and might be wrong. I just wrote what I have read some time ago. I think it is true, imagine the power of this gun fireing 30 mm uranium bullet, I'll try to find that book where I read about GAU-8.

Re: A10 GAU-8 can fire only in <<some>> round burst (I dont remember exactly the amount) mode because if you would like to shoot constantly you would be seriously slowed down, thats the strenght of this gun. This is untrue (word from a real A-10 pilot) They are trained to shoot 1-second (70 round) bursts, to conserve ammo and to avoid melting the barrels. Also, evey time the gun fires the engines flame out (because of the smoke), so they actually have the engine ingition turn on and stay on for the duration that you have the gun trigger depressed. Yes. What I ment was that the plane itself would be slowed down not the gun.

Yeah... I love to watch it... I can do it all day long :D I would also like to watch some new videos... :P

Yes, that's good idea! Thank you for all you work so far, and of course thanks to you Shepski!! спасибо :D

I agree but the work which was made over Su-25T and its advanced model is worth of tribute

Vikhir missiles (those mounted on Su-25T) come from older types of AT missiles. AT-16 comes from AT-9 which was modernisation of AT-6 missile which in fact had both radio and laser guidance. Check this topic: http://forum.lockon.ru/viewtopic.php?t=2179

I made some research, and here is what I have found: The 9M120 Vikhr (AT-X-16) (the X designated that it is not yet in production) is a aircraft-mounted semi-active laser guided antitank guided missile. It has been demonstrated on the Ka-50 HOKUM attack helicopter and can also be launched from fixed-wing aircraft such as the SU-25 FROGFOOT. The AT-X-16 resembles a lengthened 9M114 (AT-6 or AT-9) but employs semi-active laser guidance. The missile is about 1.5 meters long, and the launch canister appears to be fitted with a small optical port to allow the laser seeker to lock-on before launch. the missile has a maximum range of about 8 km and weighs about 60 kg. And here is some thing about the AT-9: The AT-9 Ataka is an improved version of the AT-6 Shturm-V system, designed for use on the Mi-28 HAVOC attack helicopter and Kamov naval helicopters. This system essentially is an AT-6 Shturm-V, with an improved guidance system and the 9M114M1 and 9M114M2 missiles described in the AT-6 section. The Ataka system on the Mi-28 HAVOC carries double the number of missiles as the earlier Shturm-V system. The 9K114 Shturm (AT-6 SPIRAL) is a tube-launched, SACLOS, radio-command guided ATGM mounted on both heliborne and ground platforms. The industrial designation is 9K114, Shturm (Storm). It was primarily designed as a helicopter-based anti-armor missile, and is called the Shturm-V in the helicopter version, and Shturm-S in the ground-launched version. In the helicopter-mounted role it is found on Mi-24 E/F and the Kamov Ka-29 HORMONE naval helicopter. The AT-6 is also found on the 9P149 tank destroyer, which is based on the MT-LB tracked multi-purpose vehicle. As with many contemporary Russian tactical missiles, the 9M114 missile is transported and launched from a glass-reinforced plastic tube. There are at least four versions of the 9M114 missile. The basic 9M114 has a conventional shaped-charge anti-armor warhead capable of defeating 600-mm of armor. A special bunker-buster missile is in service which uses an enhanced blast warhead similar to a fuel-air explosive. These two variants have a 400 meter minimum range and a 5000 meter maximum range. Two advanced anti-armor warheads are also available, which have been developed to defeat explosive reactive armor. These two missiles differ in the length of the missile and the maximum range: 6 km for the 9M114M1 and 7 km for the 9M114M2. So there were some differences in Vikhr missiles Ataka-V VIKhR 9M120 (AT-16) A modification of the Shturm-V family is the Ataka-V family of missiles used on Mi-28 helicopters and on the latest Ka-50 helicopter. The Vikhr antitank missile is also the main weapon of the Su-39. The aircraft is armed with 16 such missiles The Ataka-V family includes several versions, the basic one being the 9M120 with a shaped-charge warhead against armored targets and its improved version being the 9M220. Addition of a second warhead, a demolition warhead, has created the Fugasnaya [High-Explosive] 9M120F. Another version used against airborne targets is the 9A2200 with a rod warhead. All these missiles of the Ataka-V family have semiautomatic radio command guidance and a 6000 m range, the producer quoting a 0.95 probability of a hit. Missiles of the Malutka-Falanga-Shturm-Ataka families were built by the "Mashinostroyenie" Design Bureau in Izhevsk, which had been established by Boris Shavyrin and is now directed by Sergey Niepobiedimyy.

As we can see from that what Chizh said. Maybe the AT-9 has radio command but the AT-12 doesnt. There are many Vikhir sub-types from what I have read on various pages.

Maybe, I just copied text from http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/at-9.htm

The Shkval targeting system is fitted in a lengthened nose with a larger nose panel, replacing the Klen-PS system. The Shkval system includes a high-resolution TV camera, with a wide-angle (27 by 36 degree) mode for search and a 23-magnification narrow-angle (0.7 by 1.0 degree) mode for targeting; a laser spot tracker; and a "Prichal (Haven)" laser target designator boresighted to the camera. The Shkval optics assembly is steerable through 70 degrees to either side of the aircraft, and from 15 degrees above the centerline to 80 degrees below. The Shkval system incorporates an automatic target tracking system. The Shkval system is essentially the same as that used on the Kamov Ka-50 "Hokum" helicopter gunship, and allows the Su-25T to carry and direct advanced laser-guided weapons, such as the "9M120 Vikhr" anti-tank missile, known as the "AT-12 Swinger" in the West. The Vikhr can also be used against helicopters and subsonic fixed-wing aircraft. The Vikhr is carried in eight-round launcher packs. A hooded TV display and hand controller mounted in the cockpit allows the pilot to guide the weapons.

:lol: At least he is trying :)

Thats what I found about Vikhrs: Vikhr (AT-9) The latest aircraft antiarmor missile is the 9A4172 of the Vikhr (AT-9) family for Ka-50 helicopters and Su-25T aircraft. It was built in Tula by A. Shipunov's group (Priborostroyeniye Design Bureau), builder of aircraft guns. The missile is fired from launchers containing a 6-8 pack. Its guidance system combines radio-command guidance during the initial flight stage followed by laser-beam guidance afterwards. The missile is a supersonic one with a 8-10 km range, its caliber is 125 mm, and its weight together with the launcher is 60 kg. The two-stage shaped-charge warhead is capable of piercing armor of equivalent to 900 mm thickness. With the switch set in the appropriate position on the pilot's panel in the cockpit, the Vikhr operates as an air-to-air missile with a radar turn-on for approach navigation. It is effective against airborne targets flying at speeds up to 800 km/h (600 km/h during rendezvous tacks). Source: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/at-9.htm

Pretty cool, isn't it?? :D
