topol-m Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I`ve found an F-15 cockpit mod, but before i install it i want to ask you guys if it is based on some real F-15 version cockpit or it is just a creation of the author not based on reality. I am only using mods that are making the game more realistic so if this mod is no like that i`m not gonna use it. Also on the second image (sorry for the bad quality there wasn`t a better one) there is some circle on the mfd - ??? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RvEYoda Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 easy radar setting I believe S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
Mustang Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 That mod looks a bit wrong to me, i believe the ED F-15C pit is pretty much correct, if you compare to this photo.
Punx Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Hi, is this the F-15C cockpit mod aviable at lockonfiles? If yes, there are 2 versions. :smartass: The circle is the easy-radar mode for the F-15. The creator just turned it on for checking pilot´s reflection on the MFD. The one on the first screen is the V2. The HUD and some other things are changed to make them look a bit like in the F-15E. Not very nice in my opinion and not very realistic either. The second screen is taken from the V1 Mod (but I think it isn´t aviable any more :(), which is just a repaint of the original cockpit. Should be quite realistic. :smilewink: If you search something realistic take this one (but be careful - needs lot of performance and you´ll get a huge fps hit) http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=21&file=1032 :thumbup: greets 1
topol-m Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 easy radar setting I believe Oh is that it? I`ve never used it... And i never will :thumbup: That mod looks a bit wrong to me, i believe the ED F-15C pit is pretty much correct well i`ve found a photo of the F-15E and there is certain similarity in the part below the HUD but the other part of the cockpit is different. Probably the mod creator tried to recreate the E version cockpit but as the cockpit is not modders friendly to fully remake is impossible... http://www.airliners.net/photo/Song%20(Delta%20Air%20Lines)/Boeing%20757-232/0643339/M [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

GGTharos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Oh is that it? I`ve never used it... And i never will :thumbup: .. unless you have an AESA radar + datalink :) Even the non-AESA radar is much, much easier to use than in LO (it will automatically lock targets for you and other interesting things) Also note there are several versions of the F-15C pit, especially F-15A and Early F-15C without MPCD. The F-15E is a completely different beast. [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
topol-m Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks, Punks. This looks very nice i`ll try it out though my 9600GT may cough with it ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

GGTharos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 It will be interesting to see a flanker in DCS - that is a plane I know somewhat less about, though I also know that it doesn't do half the radar stuff in LO that it does 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

GGTharos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I think this is very unlikely. At this point AESA's seem to be 'magical' (ie. quite classified due to the additional capabilities aside from the near-real-time airspace monitoring capability). But essentially think of it as a slightly slower 'easy radar'. [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

But essentially think of it as a slightly slower 'easy radar'. Bad news. I was hoping i could fly F/A-18E. Probably will but it will be when there are F-37s and Su-52s entering service. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Hehehe maybe you are right :) I suspect if ED does an F-18E (I hope so!) it will probably be using APG-73 MSA like in JF18. But who knows :) [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
Boberro Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Yeah i`d like that too, better a Su-30 though :) BTW any chance to see an AESA equiped fighter modelled in DCS? A bit long time ago there were rumours about Su-30 in DCS... with coop (2 people). My dream is to see Su-30 MKIII. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
RedTiger Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Also note there are several versions of the F-15C pit, especially F-15A and Early F-15C without MPCD. The F-15E is a completely different beast. Do you mean that there are several different F-15 LO cockpit mods? I've only seen the ones at lockonfiles. Where are the rest?
GGTharos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 No, I mean there are different F-15s, so be careful what you're comparing to :D [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
RedTiger Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 No, I mean there are different F-15s, so be careful what you're comparing to :D Oh, yeah, that's true. :D
Moa Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 One thing we do know about US AESA radars is that they have LPI (low probability of intercept) frequency hopping. That means you are very unlikely to get radar spikes on your RWR. I don't know if Russian AESA technology has similar capability or not.
GGTharos Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 LPI has more to it than frequency hopping, and RWR designs that can more reliably detect LPI radars were presented a while ago - at which point it's entirely possible that said LPI radars suffered a 'software adjustment' ;) That digression aside, for an AESA radar LPI is very much a matter of software, not hardware (the hardware makes it possible, the software drives it) so there's no reason to think Russian AESA doesn't have the capability.
