SayethWhaaaa Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 in a stock su-27_data.ini, you could not do anything close to a cobra. Not quite. The stock Su-27 has a pretty high alpha rating and simply yanking back at the right speed will give you something close to it. Only problem is you'll stall it and you'll need to recover. It's not too dissimilar to the way the J-35 does it... Quote
Fubar512 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 A cobra is nothing more than an inertia-aided high alpha stall, and recovery. It is useless in combat. The maneuver that is useful, is known as the hook. That is accomplished during a pursuit, and utilizes the same principle as the cobra, but is normally executed n the horizontal plane. It allows the attacking pilot to momentarily pull lead on his target during a gun pass. Sheesh, I like how all these self-proclaimed experts come out of the woodwork every time a models' released, and try to pick it apart, when they obviously haven't a clue. Quote

The new file allows more realistic maneuvers and Naja it is one. I will include that in the Version 1.1 of Flanker. Quote
Falcon161 Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Great news every body! Marcello is letting me release the SU-27 US! You can find it in the modern aircraft folder in the downloads section. go on and check it out! Quote
+Jimbib Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Marcfighter, you are definitely one mean model making machine! Way to go man Quote
gerald14 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Sure you got people to make that B-2 out of a model ,but not mine model..... Quote
+Dave Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 beautiful targets for Flankers. Marcello I have a ton of pics and PDF's on the B1 if you want them. Quote
FastCargo Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 beautiful targets for Flankers. Oh my goodness!! About time my favorite bomber got some screen time... I've been having to use the F-111 instead...but you need 3 1/2 of them to equal one full bay drop in a Bone... FastCargo Quote
serverandenforcer Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Well, I guess I don't have to worry about making those two models now. Quote
mach_driver Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Oh my goodness!! About time my favorite bomber got some screen time... I've been having to use the F-111 instead...but you need 3 1/2 of them to equal one full bay drop in a Bone... FastCargo those are beautiful models all it needs is anwsome realistic skin and an automatic bombing aid for automatic ground lock and some how to tweek in multiple target lock so we can hit multiple target .

FastCargo Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 automatic bombing aid for automatic ground lock and some how to tweek in multiple target lock so we can hit multiple target . Not for me thanks. When I flew it, we did it old school style...radar offset and lay down a 'stick'. 84 Mark 82s or 30 CBUs will definitely get your attention...:). FastCargo Quote

BaronVonZenith Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Didn't I see and SU-34 in there too at one time. Man all this Su-27 goodness may make me a convert to Russian planes.....great work Marcelo I would certainly recommend you in doing so, they are simply supreme, as these Flankers highlight quite clearly! I'm definitely looking forward to a release of this new set, I must say, I've really enjoyed Marc's previous Su-27 so if that's anything to go by, I'm sure I'll have some fun with these as well.

Falcon161 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Yea I've certainly enjoyed terrorising U.S. Aircraft including F-15's, F-18's, F-16's, F-23's, F-4's, F-14's, and various bombers But I prefer the fighters As I enjoy a good fight and love watching the F-15 and F-23 go down in flames and plunge into the earth! 1 Quote
Shin_kazama Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 yo marc! any other flanker variants up and ready? and is there a better (cobra maneuver capable) FM? kreelin showed me his video of you flanker doing a cobra maneuver. dunno what he did to it, but i sure hope he gets to share it on a later version/release of you flanker. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 @Shin I thing the cobra maneuver is something wich is, ehm a hardcoded thing, so it`s very difficult to perform it with the SF FM.. and allow me one question, for what do you need a cobra maneuver? But you`re right!! we need more Flankers!!!! Quote
+EricJ Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 You're getting confused. LOMAC is hardcoded, but with SF it's probably doable, I just never tried it yet, though kreelin posted his video. Though I do agree, I would actually ask for an MKI, but without TVC support.. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Oh yeah you`re right... It`s LOMAC Quote

Pride goeth before the fall.... A video of a scripted mission that I cooked up: Two Flankers go up against two Raptors....I was killed within a few seconds of entering the mission...I never saw it coming. Even under AI control, and with the heat signature set to a realistic "detectable" value, the Raptor model is extremely nasty. Video: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=2777 Quote
