jsleesma Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 I'm relatively new to LOMAC, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. I have two questions, however. 1) Is the SU-27 a true fly-by-wire aircraft? I heard it had some sort of "mechanical" fly by wire system. The reason I ask is that I find it much more difficult to hold a consistent altitude in the SU-27 than a US aircraft like the F-15 or F-16(In Falcon). I checked my joystick's centering, but the 27 seems tough to hold at a specific altitude. 2) Can neither the SU-27 nor the SU-33 carry the R-77? That seems like a big weakness...
SimFreak Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 1) Trim your aircraft. USAF aircraft auto trims it for you. 2) They cannnot carry that missile. Only Mig can.

Further to previous answers: 1) Yes, the Su27 is a true FBW aircraft - however, the FBW system isn't quite as complex as it is on the American jets. The F15 does some limited auto-trimming, and the F16 is an entirely different ballgame . . . . the computers control absolutely everything. Very easy to fly. You need to trim to keep them level, though . . . . just the way it is. 2) The later variants of the Su27 can carry the R77 - however, ED chose to model the Flanker and the Eagle at the same point in time, for which they had enough data on how everything worked. It's also a pretty fair match if you know what you're doing. The Su33 has exactly the same capabilities as the Su27 - Sukhoi put out an upgrade brochure for it a couple of years ago (including R77 capability), but never actually got the funding to upgrade them all. Word is that the Su33's will now be replaced by the Su27KUB - the side-by-side naval two-seater, with rather more advanced avionics (and probably R77 capability as well).

plug pray Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 should add, if ya dunno, that the su33 should have those r77's in 1.1.
GGTharos Posted February 20, 2005 Posted February 20, 2005 Shouldn't add it because teh 33 NEVER got the capability to carry those in RL. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

F-16s have to be trimmed too in real life. cheers Subs [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
