rajdary Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The Eurofighter is perfect to gain Air superiority, once you have that you prbably have an advantage in the war, it was designed for that , then let the Tornados and others go in. I think its more a matter of combining the best aircrafts for air combat and the best for ground, rather than having one that tries to be both but ends up being neither.

Valium Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It seems thrust vectoring engines can be done in DCS.

I think it was talked about and an engine tested but never flown PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor. Link to comment
Valium Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I know. I just wrote that it was possible to make thrust vectoring in DCS. EF-2000 hasn't got engines like these but they can have them in the future. What's more, they think about it. Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album. Link to comment
Isegrim Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Great, but the typhoon does not have thrust vectoring. I think it was talked about and an engine tested but never flown The Eurofighter is currently the best plane to keep energy levels at highest possible levels, espacialy when doing hard manouvers in small spaces. Engines with thrust vectoring would kill much of this. They are only good to get high AOAs in every direction. In the end the price isnt worth the improvements of the Plane. The good news are that the new EJ230 engines can also be used without thrust vectoring. "Blyat Naaaaa" - Izlom Link to comment
Valium Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Would you be able to take some fresh photos of EF-2000 cockpit? Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album. Link to comment
Pman Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 We cant share any of our photos that we took no. We will have some DCS eye candy sometime in May I would think. Highly unlikely before Pman Link to comment
Snowy Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Cant wait for this one! Mmmmm Canards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You know you've landed with the wheels up, When it takes you full power to taxi to the ramp! Link to comment
Ells228 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Cant wait for this one! Mmmmm Canards Actually they're called "foreplane" not cannard ;) Link to comment
Python Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Are you sure that's not just what you called it as you walked around eying up the jet Chris? :lol: Not that I'm jealous or anything... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment

tobaschi Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 iam curious about your research trip, what was the most suprising/impressing (nonclassified) information about the eurofighter you got from your trip? Link to comment
Winfield_Gold Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 iam curious about your research trip, what was the most suprising/impressing (nonclassified) information about the eurofighter you got from your trip? I'm curious about how the sound recording stuff goes. Do you guys at VEAO get the same kind of access that belsimtek got when they posted a video of some devs recording the MI-8 before it was released to the public? Link to comment
Ells228 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Are you sure that's not just what you called it as you walked around eying up the jet Chris? :lol: Not that I'm jealous or anything... Nope, as I called it a cannard and got corrected and I'm currently looking at technical drawings and it's most definitely a foreplane :) iam curious about your research trip, what was the most suprising/impressing (nonclassified) information about the eurofighter you got from your trip? The most impressive was the ASRAAM seeker head but I obviously can't talk about that!! Nonclassified, hmm, probably the most impressive for me was the canopy ejection jets. I got to film a few things too which we need for animation to get the timings right, that was cool :) Link to comment

When we get to recording sound, yes we will. But most definitely can't post a video up of it :thumbup: Link to comment
Python Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Nope, as I called it a cannard and got corrected and I'm currently looking at technical drawings and it's most definitely a foreplane :) I wasn't doubting that, Just a cheeky play on words lol, couldn't resist... I've heard people call them foreplanes before although I always called them canards myself. I consider myself slightly more educated now. :thumbup: Edited March 20, 2015 by Python 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment
Rangi Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is there a technical difference between canard and forplane or just naming convention? PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor. Link to comment
Python Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Same thing I think, Canard is just a term for a foreplane as far as I know. In fact they are often called canard foreplanes (Not specifically on the Typhoon) Unless you're French in which case they have the rather nice name of Ducks. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment
Spectre11 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Actually they're called "foreplane" not cannard ;) Canards is a common terminology which isn't wrong, but yes within the Eurofighter comminity it's called foreplane. Maybe canard is too French a term.:lol: Likewise you could say it's a helmet mounted symbology system not a helmet mounted display or air-to-surface and not air-to-ground. ;-) Link to comment
SilentGun Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 When we get to recording sound, yes we will. But most definitely can't post a video up of it :thumbup: Why can't you show us the video? Won't you be using the sound on the module anyway? Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales... :)The Future of DCS is a bright one:) Link to comment
Ells228 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yes we will be using the sound. But recorded on sound recording equipment not from a video. And the places we will place the mic's cannot be shown to public on video. Link to comment
