  1. I'd really like to make a mission in which the player must precisely locate targets whose approximate positions are given in the brief. Unfortunately, it seems that success criteria for this type of mission can't really be defined using the GUI mission editor. Would it be possible to script the following pseudocode in lua and implement it in a mission? on player-initiated target point (TP) designation: if TP coordinates are less than 50 meters from actual target coordinates [indent]then print "Target identified!"[/indent] [indent]else print "Invalid target coordinates."[/indent] end
  2. At least one crash of an Mi-28N was attributed to rocket gas ingestion.
  3. 41.466088N,44.79723E Identify the aircraft at these coordinates in google maps :)
  4. Ryan Model 147s flew thousands of reconnaissance missions during the cold war.
  5. Pessimistic comments from Saakashvili on the state of things
  6. Not to mention the Firebee and its antecedents, which have been in service since the mid fifties.
  7. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/06/world/europe/06georgia.html?partner=rss&emc=rss It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Six pilots is a lot for Georgia's air force. Probably doesn't bode well for Batumi-Tblisi relations, as the spies were based in Adjaria.
  8. Nice photos. The show at JAX is always good.
  9. Would be cool if the Tunguska in game belched as much fire and smoke and brass as it does IRL!
  10. This is fantastic! Just need some Georgian diagrams now.
  11. Excellent work, Shu! A couple things I noticed: Senaki is no longer a military airbase. It transitioned to civil use last year. I'll try to provide a cite for this. Why is Abkhazia (Apkhazeti) listed as part of Russia in the Gudauta diagram?
  12. Anybody know if per-pixel lighting has been implemented for all objects, not just the new ones?
  13. +1 for Azerbaijan/Armenia. So many possible scenarios, and plausible ones at that! Nothing kills immersion like an unrealistic premise.
  14. With about 16 Ka-50s being built over the course of it's 25-year-long development, it's a safe bet that no two are exactly alike. It's difficult to make generalizations about capabilities without referring to specific serial numbers. With that being said, it's probable that at some point carriage of air-to-air weapons was tested, but I seriously doubt that this capability found its way into "production standard" aircraft.
  15. I can only speak to SHORAD threats, but as a Hog driver, that's your main concern anyway. A Tunguska battery typically consists of four 2S6Ms, a Ranzhir CP, and several reload vehicles. A Tor battery has a similar makeup, but being far less numerous than the Tunguska, a single 9K330 may be substituted for a 2S6M in a Tunguska battery, with the Tor taking the higher priority threats and handing off targets to the Tunguskas. Single Tors have been similarly employed in Osa batteries. A Buk battery consists of six TELARs arranged in a ring, a CP, a target aquisition radar, and a few reload vehicles. Owing to its smaller numbers in Russian service compared to its predecessor, the Kub, mixed Kub/Buk batteries are not unusual. Hope that helps! I'm working from memory, so I can't provide details on unit separation distances, but that should be enough to get you started.
  16. If you use a point feature, like a bridge or a road junction to perform an INU fix, both latitude and longitude will be corrected. If you use a linear feature, like a road or stream that crosses your path, then only the components of latitude and longitude perpendicular to the feature will be corrected. The peculiarities that you describe are not caused by INU drift. There are many things that can cause your heading to drift while in hover or in route mode, but having an erroneous position fix is not one of them.
  17. Extending the current map east to the Caspian and south to Nagorno-Karabakh would open up some interesting scenarios.
  18. Maybe I missed it, but I still don't think the original question was answered... Yes. If your joystick programming software supports it. For the X-52, you would map LMB just like any other keypress. It's quite handy in conjunction with TIR. No messing around with ALT+C, and you can flip any switch in the pit without moving your hands from the stick and throttle.
  19. Huh. Right you are, Avilator. I always suspected that ball couldn't be trusted.
  20. This is normal and is due to slightly asymmetric aerodynamic forces.
  21. To unlock targets, you can hold the lock button while slewing the Shkval off target. I usually just hold it down until I've got the box over the next target and then release. There's no real trick to searching for targets. It's good practice to configure the Shkval to look at your target points when you get near the target area. On the AMMS, it helps to pay attention to the yellow line extending from your aircraft when you're slewing the Shkval around, especially if targets are marked on the map.
