Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots
Fubar512 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
I was aboard one of those.... -
They should both be sent on a voyage to the Straits of Hormuz, courtesy of the Royal Navy. Once there, the ship should anchor in the south eastern lee of the small islet by the wreckage of the Bu-Rashid, in such a manner so its stern is sitting directly over the 100-meter curve, and timed to take advantage of the tide ebbing out of the gulf (note that I have marked the islet in red). Then, I propose that the crew begin "chumming" with ground-up fish (preferably an oily species, such as mackerel). Afterwards the two "gentlemen" can be slowly lowered into the water....but only after the dinner guests (pods of Bull and Tiger sharks) have assembled. The whole affair should be given all the video coverage possible.

They're calling this the largest tornado on record so far. It may have been 2 miles across at it's base. There are 51 known fatalities (so far), including possibly as many as two dozen children. They are all in my thoughts and prayers. http://houston.cbslocal.com/2013/05/20/meteorologist-worst-tornado-damage-in-the-history-of-the-world/

Simply listing a few values is a meaningless excersize, as they all must work in concert in order to achieve acceptable results. In short, it's the entire flight model that needs to be revamped. The idea is not to do this in front of an IRM-equipped foe, but to utilize the ability to over-ride the alpha-limiter during a tail chase, to enable one to pull lead on a target that's off normal boresite parameters. -

Here's a video I made some time ago, notice how "sensitive" the model is to pitch inputs: -

That alone will not do it. The trick is balancing in the model's pitch inertia value, its stall values, and again, how the model reacts at alpha stall (should pitch up sharply), and at alpha depart (must pitch down sharply, with no "mushing"). It takes a lot of T&E to balance this out, and even then, it is very sensitive to load, speed, and throttle. -

There is a way to accomplish this, but It is not something that can be done without compromising the flight model somewhere else in the flight regime. When the "cheat" is applied, it will ONLY work under hard flight model, and the compromise requires carefull pitch control between 300 - 450 KPH, otherwise, one often finds themselves in a high-alpha stall while maneuvering (or even landing). I have this incorporated into Marcelo's Su-33 (which is not released yet), and to properly utilize it, one needs a HOTAS setup with rudder pedals. -
Bowie was once asked about the message contained within the lyrics of Space Oddity, and his response was "It's just a song, man". Years later, when asked about the significance of the scenes, scenarios, and costumes in the Ashes to Ashes video, Bowie simply stated that the bulldozer represented "approaching violence". One of the crew involved in the filming of that video said that it (and the lyrics) dealt with Bowie burying his personas and problems from the 1970s, and moving on to new and better things.

AWACS Questions
Fubar512 replied to allenjb42's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
If you're asking why they don't link to the player's radar and provide an expanded radar "picture", the answer is twofold: A) It is mostly due to the avionics of the era that this series covers B) That is something that you must ask TK at Thirdwire's site. If you're asking why they do not show up on threat displays as emitters, then refer to answer "B" above. That's something that we'd all like to see implemented. -
Not true. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6380100/anchors_6394056/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#6394056 Early F-5E (Swiss Air Force) http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/274507/j-3044-switzerland-air-force-northrop-f-5e-tiger-ii/ Late F-5E "shark nose" (Also Swiss) http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/272092/j-3087-switzerland-air-force-patrouille-de-suisse-northrop-f-5e-tiger-ii/ The ones Stratos posted are all "Sharknoses"

This happened at Bagram air base yesterday...looks as if something went terribly wrong with the FBW system just after the aircraft rotated. 7 passengers and crew perished in the accident. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=icfVsql38oc
