5-wire Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I don't know if this is a re-post, but I noticed these images uploaded onto a military photos site in China. There are 9 images in the photo stream, but it is 6, and 7, which captured my interest. This must be the ultimate product endorsement. Real world Flanker pilots, actually flying the Flanker simulation on Lock On. http://mil.huanqiu.com/photo/newpic/2009-02/358875_2.html
bumfire Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 This was posted a few years back when I think those same pics were posted, no doubt every single copy of lockon is pirated :(

Vekkinho Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 5 - wire, welcome to forums! Seeing a RL jet pilot using various commercial simulators for fun and practice is no news, here in Croatia I have a friend who's a PC-9M pilot and we had a LOMAC LAN weekend where I wanted him to check and comment realism of LOMAC 1.02 patch. I blew him right out of the sky on a first encounter but later on he started pulling some serious stuff (things he isn't allowed often IRL) and thaught me some! Now he's a LOFC laptop junkie and lot's of his fellow pilots play LOFC too! IIRC, there was a thread on US AFRES pilots playing ED's A-10 simulator built by ED for special purposes of USAF personell, not sure was it a first glimpse of a DCS:A-10C! Let me dig that link up...

5-wire Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Thank you for the welcome Vekkinho, Huanqiu.com is a useful site to reference news related to armed forces in China.
bumfire Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Are you sure or are you guessing based on a stereotype? You really think the Chinese military pirated lockon? Yes I do, since their goverment has been caught at stealing nearly everything else, whether thats hardware or software, so in conclusion to your question I do think the chinese military would do such a thing after all it is only a game and it is WIDELY available and considering the chinese GVT sanction huge hack attacks to try to gain access to hardware and software secrets all over the world then my conclusion not only holds some merit to it but is in all actuality probably true. Remember, it isnt the chinese people as a whole that I am saying this about, its their government which is a totally different thing. Edited February 6, 2009 by bumfire

I must of missed that, if you can find the link that would be great as I havent read of heard much about ed's US Mil a10 sim :thumbup:
5-wire Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 ^ Where did this come from. What are you, thirteen years old? I never expected to see my first post degenerate into a complaint about reverse engineering. It was a mistake to register here in the first place. Moderators, please close off this account.
OldCrow Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 wow, In my oppinion (wich probably noone cares about, but anyways:D) I havent seen any insulting posts here, this is an international forum with people from all over the world, with oppinions about all kinds of stuff. If you want everyone to agree with you, and cant handle that someone challange your oppinions, then this probably isnt the place for you. Anywyas, on ot the topic, I think its awesome to see that real pilots use the same sim as I do, and that they use it in the millitary aswell must be evidence that this sim is pretty good:thumbup: [sIGPIC]http://www.virtualredarrows.com/member_sigs/vra2012_crow.png[/sIGPIC]
experimental_pilot Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Chinese-Canadian engineer accused of military-industrial espionage :music_whistling: I don't remember hearing about this in 2006. Just confirms my suspicions and lack of trust in immigrants. We have a very, very large asian population in Canada. :glare:
Vekkinho Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Here's the link to this thread i talked about: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=33399 As Wags said:"Yes, that is indeed a screen shot from the A-10C Desk Top Simulation (DTS) we are creating for the ANG/USAF"! So go figure! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
