  1. MiG-29K undergoing carquals on the Ulyanovsk, circa 1993:
  2. What ever are you talking about? While testing a new model, I was tasked with intercepting an inbound flight of A-6 TRAMs. They fired off their Harpoons well over the horizon from their target (the Ulyanovsk), and now I had to chase down 16 sea-skimming ASMs and shoot them down. If the AI can do, so can the player. Attached is the map to prove my point.
  3. After reading about IBM's "Watson", who seems to have developed a colorful vocabulary after digesting the contents of the Urban Dictionary. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/IBM-Watson-Urban-Dictionary-swearing,20409.html "Watson couldn't distinguish between polite language and profanity -- which the Urban Dictionary is full of. Watson picked up some bad habits from reading Wikipedia as well. In tests it even used the word "bulls**t" in an answer to a researcher's query."
  4. Ask Wrench sometime about Tweety versus the Flying Claw.
  5. Su-33 video - must see

    As Jedi Master stated above, the MiG-29K was to be the Soviet navy's main carrier-based fighter, until the Mikoyan OKB fell out of favor during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Keep in mind that 29K made it's first trap aboard the Tblisi (Kuznetsov), on the very same day that the Su-33 did (though the '33 was known as the 27K back then). The 29K has the distinction of being the very first Soviet conventional fighter to launch from a carrier, beating out the Su-33.
  6. Perhaps they should ask it "Whaddya have in there buddy, a dead cat?" and see if after it queries its new database, it answers F0<K YOU, A55HOLE!
  7. If you're selecting a different aircraft from the loadout screen menu, that is and always has been the default behavior in all flavors and versions of Strike Fighters. As far as I know, there is no workaround to that.
  8. RussoUK is working on a MiG-29K, and another group may be working on the other models. They are all based on Flyingtoaster's (The Mirage Factory's) MiG-29A. The only prob is that we would now need a new cockpit for the later models.
  9. Su-33 video - must see

    It's not a large (super) carrier to begin with. Compare the never-finished CVN Ulyanovsk's planned airwing 70 aircraft total 27 × Sukhoi Su-33 (or) 27 × Mikoyan MiG-29K 10 × Sukhoi Su-25 4 × Yak-44 radar picket aircraft 15–20 Kamov Ka-27 ASW to the Kuznetsov's airwing 41-52 aircraft total 14 × Su-33 fighters (current) or 28 × MiG-29K fighters (planned after refit) 4 × Sukhoi Su-25UTG/UBP aircraft 4 × Kamov Ka-27LD32 helicopters 11 × Kamov Ka-27PLO helicopters 2 × Kamov Ka-27S
  10. Su-33 video - must see

    Both the Ulyanovsk and the Kuznetsov were originally planned around the MiG-29K. The reason that the Su-33 came to be accepted, was its greater payload and range. It was, at the time, seen as a multi-role alternative to the '29K.
  11. Cloud entries are part of the Environmentsystem.ini file, which should only be in the flight folder.
  12. If I'm not mistaken, the Lima lock tone oscillates between a low and high note. That's most likely a Mike tone in the video. I'm sure one of our members with real-life experience in the matter will chime in.
  13. Sidewinder tones vary by model. A Lima tone is not the same as an X-ray tone. However, TK has limited us to one set of tones.
  14. This is an almost 50 minute segment of Airspeed, in which they go for a flight in the T-38. Enjoy!
  15. The Su-33 is in a holding pattern until Marcelo gives the OK to release it. And it's been on hold for more than a year.
  16. Looks as if the Ulyanovsk's air wing will soon receive its first squadron of Fulcrum-Ks The vents need to be back by the weapon's breach. In that skin, the vents are incorrectly placed at mid-barrel. Check the attached image:
  17. Here is the track of Mary Lee, who's grown to a weight of thirty four hundred and sixty three. For 15 years, she's kept her virginity. That's not a bad record, for this vicinty. Mary Lee, an almost 3500 lb white shark that was tagged off Cape Cod, has decided to swim to Florida for the winter. You can follow her daily movements here: http://sharks-ocearch.verite.com/ Zoom in, and you'll see how close she's come to the beach on a few occasions.
  18. FC, his account of the Talon's flying characteristics sounds like a transcript of a conversation that we once had.
  19. Sounds like a piece of cake to write an FM for: Http://www.warbirdalley.com/articles/t38pr.htm
  20. Plan on going swimming anytime soon, Jedi Master?

    It's a spoof on a line from the movie "Jaws". It seemed appropriate considering the circumstances and the subject.
  21. Oh no! So now you left poor Russ with a knackered shadow to fix.
  22. Check my post again, Harold
