+Julhelm Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 Yea...for a program that is a standard of the industry, it sure can be buggy at times. I've got mine set to save 5 previous copies at 5 minute intervals. FC Try using Maya then. Quote
+Monty CZ Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Ok little background story: three europian members of the NATO (Sweden, Great Britain and Italy) agreed to cooperate on a project whose objective is development of the light attack aircraft with short takeoff and landing, operating from aircraft carriers and land bases. Companies involved are BAE Systems, SAAB, Augusta. Primary roles for this plane is Recon, anti ship/submarine, CAS And as it did in the case of the Harrier, the Marines tried the machine and included in their equipment as well. I dont know how are the armed forces of listed countries organized so please advice :-) Monty CZ Quote
Wrench Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) well, if it get US usage, and follows "standard designation doctrine", it would have the "A" prefix, for attack, followed by the maunfactures letter designation, then a model number, like the AV-8; so, given a time frame of 'before Harriers', maybe something like A(letter)-2 (note: pre-MacNamara, it was type-of-use/modelnumber/manufacturer/variant example, the firt Skyhawk was A4D-1 A=Attack 4=4th model by manufacturer D=manufactuer (in this case Douglas Aircraft) 1=variant post-MacNamara, just like nowadays, as he started it! (1962ish??) hope that helps! wrench kevin stein edit: manufactuer designator didn't always follow it's name - Lockheed was V, Vought was U. I"ve a list somewhere...

+Monty CZ Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 Hello all, I was checking how the AI can manage to fly this thing and on higher AoA it has problem because plane is turning from left to right (doing S turns with increasing amplitude) How to make it more stable? I can land it on HMS Invincible and take of from the deck without catapults but AI is in trouble. Monty CZ Quote
