ED Team Yo-Yo Posted November 19, 2004 ED Team Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks Alpha, if that's how it is in real life, thats fine by me! What about the braking chute? I would have thought that would have a major effect - but I'm no pilot! James Be sure: either chute or brakes are so good as they are in real life. Real Su-25 and especially Su-25T are not that are sweet and easy or I should say: they are easy and sweet to fly but not to land. Cross-wind landing will be a good challenge even for those who consider themselves hardcore simmers... :) 2 Alfa I think there is no reason to tweak something killing the authentity.

Kula66 Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Yo-Yo ... thanks for the replies guys, I'd never flown the Su-25 before in LO, but I've been doing loads of practicing (and getting to quite like the little plane) .... getting ready for 1.1!! Really looking forward to some spectacular crashes with the new DM and AFM :) James
RvETito Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 ...Su-27 carrier landing... But as Yo-yo mentioned, it probably wouldnt be possible, or at least considerably harder, in Lock-on :) Good to hear that. As you know Alfa, my experience with Lock-on is quiet short but I tried few carrier landings with the Su-33 during the "test" flights. The first impression after catching the wire was a surprise because it was way too different from any of the thousands landings I have in F2. It felt damn realistic to me. And if we add the floating deck in the show then hold on tight... "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=
SUBS17 Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Another point to consider in real life is if you approach the carrier and overshoot, you will end up having to bail out.(if not using an arrester hook) Ejecting infront of a moving carrier is a bad idea. If you land in the water you could end up sucked underneathe by the propellers! [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]

If you are lucky there is a big probability that the chute land you just to the deck carefully as it was with the Yak-38 pilot...

britgliderpilot Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 Hmmn. Just a thought . . . . . With the Su39, advanced physics, and Internet Instructor . . . . . what are the chances of getting an Su25UTG at some point in the future? Just for the carrier fetishists among us . . . . . grin. Just hypothetically, you understand :wink2: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
