Guest DeathAngelBR Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 It doesn't look like the real thing, ED should know that, eh? Has it been changed in 1.1? Will the Su-27 be able to use it? The real thing can.
Alfa Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Hi, No the MER doesnt look like the real thing, and no it hasent been improved.....yet. :) Which is why the Su-27 and Su-33 wont be equipped with this in 1.1 either.....exactly because of that ;) . The Su-27 will be able to carry unguided air-to-ground ordinance though :) JJ
Shepski Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Great video!! Is it just me or did it look like the Su-27 was shooting an S-25 rocket varient at the airborne targets? It looked like there were 4 different projectiles in the air near the first target when it got hit.

It looked like there were 4 different projectiles in the air near the first target when it got hit. If it's the one I think it is, then they seem to have intercut lots of clips of A2A and A2G combat, with little regard to what they actually do . . . . .grin. I think they've also re-used a couple of clips, and/or mirrored them to use again. Fun fun fun. The 4 projectiles one is tricky - not sure whether it's four cannon rounds, flares from the drone (how good are the Russians at things like that?) or what. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg
Kula66 Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Wow did you see that AA-10 pitch up infront of the 27 (at about 2:10) ... I bet thats frightened a few pilot the first time!! Anyne know why AMRAAMs (maybe others, I've not used them much) in LO seem to launch from odd angles? They sometimes seem to launch from above the wing, or fly off sideways. James
EricJ Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 It's because once they leave the rail, they initiate the upward climbing profile, and it happens pretty quick, so it seems like they do that. Plus it's the fact that there really isn't a collision zone through the aircraft 3D model. As for the sideways stuff, if you're in a turning fight (mainly where I noticed it), the release from the hardpoint, combined with inertia, "throws" it off. The F.3 has a rod that extends to ensure 100% release from the aircraft, as normally they (I think) use a very small charge, or something to that effect.

Kula66 Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 EricJ, >>As for the sideways stuff<< This is more in level flight at a crossing target ... reather than going straight, then curving aware, the missile seems to start somewhere off to one side ... Don't t AMRAAM rockets' start on the rail? James
EricJ Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 Yeah, but it may be either a bug (highly unlikely), programmed that way, maybe to "seperate" the weapon from the aircraft, model-wise. I'll be honest in saying that I don't see AMRAAMs fired everyday so I can only hypothesize on what does happen.

Kula66 Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 As you can see, this AMRAAM came from the other side of the Eagle, without motor ignition ... http:// In RL http:// As you can see, a little work required! James
GGTharos Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Chizh mentioned that more realistic missile physics will be employed in a future project, inlcuding various type of fuze simulationa nd so on.

Han Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 2 Kula66 It have been launched from fuselage hardpoint? Then here is nothing wrong ;) With Best Regards! Daniel Tuseyev Il-2: Battle of Stalingrad and Rise Of Flight projects manager
Kula66 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Han, The missile has come from the other side of the Eagle ... without motor start! AMRAAMs motors start on the rail and they then go forwards, not down or across as this one has done. Also, it has practically travelled though the Eagle!! James

Hi James, I seriously doubt that a missile mounted on a fuselage station would start off the rail... off the wing, sure but off the fuselage they are dropped first before ignition.
Kula66 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Good point ... I assumed (possibly incorrectly) that they launched the same way ... I'll see wat I can dig up ... What I was trying to show in the screen print, is the way the missile doesn't drop vertically, but seems to fly off sideways ... before the motor ignites. James
