Red Hammer Posted August 30, 2006 Posted August 30, 2006 Everybody knows that During the Combat, Su-27's fly-by-wire system will change Front Flap to let Su-27 take higher AOA. AI Su-27 does it, but my one doesn't. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Hi, First I wouldn't call this a fly-by-wire system since there's no such thing in Su-27. ED keep calling it Su-27S model but in fact we fly SU-27P and this one doesn't have FBW. The 'thing' that controlls 'slats' that you talk of is geometry computer. Slats open at hight AoA and they open even in player controlled Su-27. At least I have it active each time I pull hi AoA just like AI... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Spad Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Just a querry.... THe SU-27P was a long range prototype without any armamnet. The P model had a massive internal fuel capacity. They even did a 15hr enudrance flight and 2 also made flights from Moscow to the Pacific coast. In the end these aircraft were allocated to the test pilots teams and no orders were placed for the P model. The versions in the game, according to my research by compairing the planes in game and readding the books in my library, are actually SU-27 FLanker B's not P's.
nscode Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Removal of a-t-g is the only difference between S and P, and it was done in acrordance to some agreement to limit the number of ground pounders. Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.
Spad Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 According to my source...World Air Power Journal Volume 28....states that the Su-27S or T-10S was a pre-series Flanker B. The main differences appear to be all structural. STOP THE PRESS:thumbup: Upon furhter reading the T-10S went on to be the SU-27 (T-10S) Standard series Flanker B.It went through several sturctural and systmes modifications. But as for the P version. The website you quoted (dman fine website tho and its been bookmarked) seems to be pointing that the P version was just stripped down Flanker. My source says it was as i stated earlier. A long ranged trial version. I qoute "Despite the Su-27's enormous internal fuel load, Sukhoi continued to the extend the endurance and range of the aircraft. One of the earliest attempts was to fit a retractable inflight-refueleing probe to two Su-27's, one a single seater, which became the Su-27P, and one a two-seater,which became the Su-27PU" World Air Power Journal Vol29. Also the Su-27PD did not have a refueling probe although it did have all armament and systems removed. Also the Su-27PD was actually converted from a standard Su-27 and not the Su-27P prototype. The Su-27PD was mainly used by Anatoly Kvotchur in the Test Pilots Display team.
