Spotting an incoming aircraft from a moving or for that matter stationary tank is very very difficult, in the first Gulf War the iraqis dubbed the A-10 the silent gun, mainly because the first warning of an attack would be casualties and pandemonium from weapon impacts. Staffan

Velkommen til Krycek, Håber da du falder godt til her. har ikke selv fået fløjet online endnu (TS3 problemer) men det går nok. Staffan

What S77th-konkussion said use the torrent, there's plenty of seeders up now. Staffan

As stated in the FAQ it isnt certain yet but ED hope to make a compatability patch for BS. The search function is your friend! Staffan

:smartass:Nice graphics Panther but the skinning is defective on the stick :smartass: Good shots, isn't that a block 40/42 Viper, it does seem to be the b40/42 HUD Thanks for sharing... must have been a nice job Staffan

That's because combat maneuvers aren't unique, you use what fits the tactical situiation. For example, in a Fulda gap situation you would be at tree top level always jinkng, never in a straight line more than 30 seconds at the time to avoid showing intent and to help staying masked. In a Afghanistan situation you'd be cruising slowly at 25k feet waiting for tasking or heading for a pre briefed target. The pop up is excellent whan you have to avoid AAA units the GAU-8 outranges most gun systems by a fair margin. it is also goo to mask you so you can attack from a different direction, for flight attacks it can take deconflicting and some planning but then you should be able to setup a near simultaneous attack on for instance a marshalling point with four different attack headings to throw off the defences and decentralise the enemy fire.

Most modern submarines (the larger ones not coastal SSK's) carry several somar systems, the US LA class rely heavily upon the BQS-5 Spherical array mounted in the bow and the TB-16 or retrofitted in some boats the TB-23 towed Array, the BQS-5 has both active and passive modes and is a medium frequency system, very capable against surface traffic and can even pick up low flying MPA's the TB-16/23 are both low frequency systems that can only finction in a passive mode, both TA's are capable of acquiring contacts several tens of miles away in normal conditions, if however the boat is in deep blue areas the sound will propagate via convergence zones and that is where you could find a contact far in excess of 100NMI's to set up a torpedo solution you'd basically be listening to a certain contact over timeand then be plotting its bearings, at the same time you'd focus on "him" (Supposing enemy conmtact thus the him being used here) and get a moduklation off his screws and powerplant, stuff like bearings and shaft noise is unique not just to a class of ships or subs but actually to a specific vessel, when you have the rotationspeed of the shaft and the class ID of the vessel you can determine the speed of the vessel and then from the bearings to the target at fixed intervals (30 seconds used often) calculate distance to the target. then you just setup a torpedo run, against a surface target the fish would be set to run deep until it gets to its activation point, then turn shallow to avoid any thermocline in the water, the onboard sonar would (in case of Mk-48 Mod 5/6 ADCAP) then either run in a passive or active mode, in both instances it would relay it's contacts back to the launch platform via 2 way cables it will be reeling pout from a canister in the shrouded propulsor, it carries 10 NMI's of wire and can engage targets out to at least 18 NMI's detonation would be magnetically detonated under the keel of the ship and the 348kg's of HE would break even a carriers keel. Surface ships can also carry either a towed array or a variable depth SONAR, the earlier being the most effective but also by far the most expensive. Staffan

Sorry for the late reply, I fly the A2A B-17 eith accusim aswell and compared to the basik WOP B-17 it is a milestone and very fun and challenging to fly properly. Staffan

What EtherealN stated, as a very brief addition to that, get comfortable with the plane, do a bunch of touch and go's the plane will fly more like the A2A spitfire or T-bolt than the SuperBug. another thing trim, trim, trim and then for good measure trim some more, this is a mechanically flown plane and you have to keep the Hog steady at all times and CG continually changes. Staffan

I think time will till how many submunitions are modelled. with regard to the 7 miracle weapon (CBU-97/CBU-105) I think Vipers comment was meant as "now the weapons is working!" not "Look at all the graphical excellence we created". I just hope that the CBU-87 lives up to its CEM name! Oh and that I can bring unssed destruction to the crunchies with my WiCMiDs Staffan

Yah I just noticed... Time to get my foot out of my mouth and read up on stuff... Nothing to see here please move along... Staffan

Just out of curiosity..... I was wondering what happened to beta 5, considering the update thread by Matt is now titled beta 6 update...:smartass: Staffan

#1: Numpad insert plus numpad 1 hold down insert, seems fine here. Staffan

I'm fairly certain that there isn't any fixed number, you keep tweaking and modifying until the product is stable and within the set parameters. public could be anything from one to a billion more (excaggerating here on purpose) I dare not guess at what version the closed beta is on but I have a faint idea that it isn't in single digits. Staffan

ED has often given release dates on some of their ealier products, and when that date came and went people would be tearing them a new one with the eternal "You promised us!" rants, hence they shifted to "It will be released when it is ready". The beauty of this is that they never break any promises, the problem that many simmers have the patience of a four year old at christmas.... this time ED released a Beta for the customors that preordered and once more many start nagging for new beta's. I can frankly understand why so few companies are doing commercial simulations, remember this isn't a FPS game where the most complex calculations needed are for making the bullet strikes match the bodies that drop. Staffan

The F-15E is propably one of the- E prototypes they were painted in Euro 1 scheme, I can't remember if they were B or D model Eagles modified I think it was B, I'm sure Steve Davies can correct me here. Staffan

Another bonus fron teh top attack is that pericsopes, antennae, MG's, crosswindsensors and a lot of stowed equipment well get shredded on a gun run, many vehicles also carry some types of ammo on the exterior especially ammo for MG's and extra rounds for the smoke launchers (the exception being units equipped with the GALIX system that is completely an underarmour GL). Staffan

Yeah my bad, I might need glasses or more beer, please disregard! Staffan

Not to rain on your parade Sobek, but the F-14 issues were limited to the P&W TF30 turbofan, when the A+ (later renamed B) emerged with the GE F110 the problem dissapeared. It was however a very frequent occurrence, and did result in the loss of quiote a bit of airframes. I'm not sure but I do think there was some issues with the TF30 on the F-111 but don't quote me on that. Staffan

Hej Dachs, Velkommen til. Ja Maverick er ikke det der idiotsikre våben det ellers altid har været (Jeg er idioten der kan bevise det), brug TGP til at designere et mål med (sæt det som SPI) vælg så maverick og slave den til SPI derefter TMS up short for at bede den låse, det skulle vist virke, og du kan bruge Litening på temmelig stor afstand. Ellers eksperimenter, AGM-65D er absolut kun noget værd i svagt lys om dagen skal du bruge en med almindelig optik. Staffan

Mery Christmas and a happy new year to everyone here, I hope that noone will get hurt by fireworks and that only the hangover will cause short term casualties this time! Staffan

Command your wingman with radio commands (UHF) Yep refueling works, you could try the search function here on the forums, theres both some comments and links to some youtube videos. Staffan

tietze har du fået dit endnu?

Det er ikke helt forkert, og det er nok det bedste joystck jeg har haft til dato, det er bedre at holde på end mit gamle CH Fighterstick men noget mere krævende at bevæge rundt.
