I have tried activating FC2 on my laptop running W8.1. I have attached error report here.
I get following error code.
error code: 0xE2003053 txt6BD6.rar
How about try to communicate with the pilot and offer him a bribe of say 50 million and offering him an option of getting the plane down or getting fired upon. I suppose 50Mil may be a better choice then death.
Just my thought. ;)
Its a training instrument to attack virtually like a cannon, pilot does not fire actual rounds but the instrument records number of hits and may be calculates damage.
There is something more to it when air gets heated. Air gets heated passing through middle stages of compressor and when it comes to the final stages it is very in effective if you compress heated air only to expand it by heating, this is reduction in compression ration. Not the higher turbine speeds you have more the air will get heated reducing compression ration which is undesirable so what engineers do is increase number of stages of compressor but they cant add more as that increases the engine weight reducing thrust to weight ratio.
So engine design is something that is bounded by the available materials. And what was done on MiG-31 engines is they have good number or turbines combines with larger diameter resulting in huge thrust.
No no no no.. Guys did you see to missiles hitting the Su-30s. It reminded me of the WWII bombers being hit by flank guns, no maneuvering. And the missile trucks like they are fighting WWI trench fighting, head-on.
