SLThrustDry=73532.0 SLThrustWet=120417.0 But it's not simply a matter of thrust at sea level. The altitude tables in that FM are probably using the original, simplified SF default, with values set at 3048 meter intervals. I've redone them using 304 meter graduations (ala Streakeagle's F-4B FM).

In deference to its engines, The real MiG-25 had an operational maximum of Mach 2.83. Above that speed, engine life could be measured in minutes. I have my MiG-25PD FM set to blow the engines after a few minutes at Mach 3. Also, IIRC, I went through the drag and lift tables on that bird, as well.

Dur-ta-dur dur dur dur dur durta dur ta dur ta due dur dur....dur ta dur dur dur due dur dur ta dur dur dut ta dur ta dur, John Phillip Sousa would be proud.....

First off, setting the thrust level overly is not the way to achieve accurate performance (assuming that's what you're after).

Dur-ta-dur!

Truth be told, I had the Raptor's IR signature value set so low, that it was virtually an Infrared "black hole". Unfortunately, setting RCS values seems to currently be an "all or nothing" deal. It'd be nice if it worked to the point that it was tunable. LPI radar is likewise not modeled.

You mean, like this? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=2776 And no, it's not a trick or a hack. This is what you will have to look forward to, some day...

Yes, it's off, becuase one is taking a 2-dimensional image, and trying to fit to a 3_dimensional object. The model's not finished, either. As to whether someone else is taking it on, I'll take a cue from Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), in Apocalypse now: "I am unaware of any such activity, nor, would I be disposed to discuss it, if it in fact, were true"

This started out as a sort of "What If" gag, and well, the results speak for themselves: You be the judge: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...si&img=2775

Very nice, Marcelo! BTW, check your PMs...

No Buck, it's Wpnssgt's model. Unfortunately, real life issues have put the model on the backburner, for now.

An F-22 in Strike Fighters? Never Happen.... I really hate the AI.....

Reinstall SP4 again.

It'd be nice if we also had 3D finger-piers to place over those fugly painted-on-the terrain tile versions. Oh, and "Worf" is a character from STTNG... You obviously meant "wharf"

Yes. We cannot say this often enough. When in doubt, refer to the knowledge base! http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12164

Did you install the latest DirectX 9.0C? That tells me that you did not.

What burns me, Wrench, is that while we (as virtual pilots) cannot utilize pitch-linked thrust vectoring, the fracking AI can, and does it well! Notice that the buner flames are at the same deflection angle as the stabs in the last image. TK needs to fix this.

I felt honored and privileged to be among those fortunate enough to be assigned to the fleet aviation arm's first Yakovlev 141M squadron. What a beast! It is, in many regards, far superior to NATO's Harrier, and will not be taken lightly by the opposition (as was the Yakovlev 38). While on our first operational cruise, we were tasked with providing support for our Parani allies. As a show of strength and socialist solidarity, we patrolled along the Parani border airspace, daring the imperialists to come within range of our advanced R-73 rockets. They would not come up to play, cowardly dogs that they are...or so we thought. We were on the last leg of our patrol, and our GCI and AWACs Tupolev reported that they had zero contacts on their radars. This was all too easy. Suddenly, comrade Captain Marchenko reported a strange "tingle" on his radar warning gear. It was far too weak to be a radar source, but it came and went at steady intervals, as if someone were probing for us with some strange and clever piece of electronic gear. We reported this to our controller, and were quickly ordered to investigate, as the bearing showed that the source was behind us, in Parani airspace. Just as we completed our turn, I caught the sun glinting off a canopy...and there it was! I stood my aircraft on its tail, pushed the throttles well past the reheat detent, and selected an R-73. What's this? No lock tone! I quickly switched to my other R-73, and it too, failed to lock. Despite the reassuring sound of the seeker head searching for a target, it failed to acquire the target. My wingman Nico, warned me that another of the strange aircraft had positioned itself on my six o'clock, and he too, could not acquire infrared lock tone, nor even see it on his radar, for that matter! Taking a cue from this, I immediately selected my gun, and much to my dismay, the gun radar would not track, either. I was astounded.. My reverie was broken by the air group commander on our ship, who ordered us not to engage. I broke off, and then saw the aircraft that had been sitting behind, pass by my starboard side... What manner of sorcery is this?
