My only question is how many civilian fields are equipped for STOVL ops? Methinks they may have to fly conventional only. Especially that hot jet blast aimed right at the runway...

The problem with low-alt flight is that while you're safer from the bigger SAMs and fighters, you're more vulnerable to the IR SAMs and AAA which are far harder to spoof. You also have to worry about CFIT (a problem the Bone has had a very public relationship with over the years) when you're doing 600kts below 500ft!

I meant "Mach 2" when I said supersonic because I don't consider "1.2" to be very supersonic.

We've not had one of these in awhile, so I figure we're about due as some modder will likely post here in the next couple of weeks: My HDD has died! I've lost the model/mod/skin/terrain I was working on!

Therefore, to all and sundry here at CA,

Back up your stuff!!!!

Thank you. You may now resume your regularly scheduled forum browsing, already in progress.

The obvious difference is the F-35C has a LOT more wing area than a Hornet, which means lower wing loading. Hopefully a lower approach speed as well.

Judging by the comparison with the GR.1 I'd say it's the RWR/TEWS/whatever the acronym is. Looks like they got a different model in the F.3 seeing as the mission would be more AA while the GR.1 is more AG. Of course, I'm just guessing.

You might try over at the official ED forums at lockon.ru to see if someone there knows how to do that.

I've used several of those over the years. Some are really good, others are minimally effective.

In the same way that many flammable objects are also inflammable I suppose.

I remember when Wings was a program on Discovery and it was great.

Wings of the Red Star and Wings of the Luftwaffe were 2 of the best series EVER.

I've never seen that one before. That's probably the biggest difference in contrast for that style I've come across.

The B-1B lost its supersonic capability when the inlets were changed to make the plane more stealthy. The F-117 and B-2 projects were already underway, but the altering of the intake design clearly reflected that they knew what they wanted in the RCS reduction arena.

There were some other changes from the A to the B, but they're not nearly as significant.

Last time I flew one was in F4 RP4 or something. I remember dropping 80+ mk82s on an airbase north of the DMZ at 500 kts and 500 ft. SWEET.

I think the 35C must be relatively close in size to the legacy Hornet. Any chance of posting a shot comparing those 2?

I can't remember if the Vigilante was bigger than the 111B or not. Certainly the Whale was bigger.

That is some great work. The soot from the TR's on the tail is especially good.

I wonder how many years it will take me to become proficient in all the 50's systems...

Well, with the economy as it is, it's probably only worth a couple of dollars.

I don't think any former Russian planes are still flying in Germany. The MiG-29s were the last to go, but they're all gone AFAIK. Do remember next year it will be 20 years since the Wall fell. Those MiG-29s were delivered not long before that, so they were the newest and most capable planes they inherited from the GDR.

Unless your pilot has the Force. Then, well, your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them.

Careful, your ignorance of the sport is showing.

I could say the same thing about hockey, football, soccer, baseball, golf, or any of them.

Yet all the actual research I've seen indicates they have almost exactly the same number of issues on average as MS users. The difference is people have NO patience for MS while Mac and Linux lovers accept almost anything and don't blink.

Think of it this way...someone takes a dump on your hand. If it's your infant baby, you don't mind. If it's your drunk next door neighbor, you mind. Yet the stats would show identically.

Yeah, but what's in the basement?!?

Mulder found the frozen alien there. But they took it from him!

I would echo that. The requirements for Black Shark were posted and they're big, and I get the feeling it doesn't need as much as SoW will.

Just as long as you're not using NT 4 or heaven forbid 3.5!

Don't forget the theramin was basically an electronic instrument and it predates that.

I built a D for the girlfriend in HS, not seen it in 15 yrs now. Also built her a Vor'cha. I have the C in the closet, been there for years along with Voyager. The Defiant is "built" (only missing one piece) but unpainted and decaled. Basically when I moved into my house I just never seemed to have the time for them anymore.
