For the AS30 command guided versions, there were 2 variants : The command guided version required the pilot (the Mirage III was a single seater !) to guide with a joystick the missile on the target, while obviously piloting his plane. The "improved version" was based on some kind of inertial guidance, and the pilot "simply" had to keep the target in his gunsight. The main drawback is that the inertial system (in french Centrale à Inertie) required 6-7 hours of tuning a carefull manipulation to avoid "detuning" the gyroscops.

Great idea !

Hello I am trying to improve the Angola map and on some airfields, I have some buildings : Do you have any idea on how to delete them ? My initial intent was to duplicate the tile changing the porperties, but I did not find how to do Thank you in advance

That's not what is happening, the windows is uniformly blue

I have a blue sceen when I open the hfd file For the tfd file, I think I must check the texture set ini Wrench : do you mean that I need to go in the city list, find which one I am interested and "flatten it " ?

Is there some kind of a tutorial : Basically to understand what are the TODs and all specificities ? How to oprn the 3W Terrain Editor : for the moment, when I open a HFD file, I get a "blank window" ? Thnak you in advance

Hello The airport IS in the middle of a city : https://www.google.fr/maps/place/Cuito+Cuanavale,+Angola/@-15.1580934,19.1660392,3049m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x1bc2e8310b89a705:0x2e99aebb9272fd09!6m1!1e1?hl=fr And this is a modern picture, you can see in other pictures that during the war, things were even worse (actually, it was in the middle of slumbs) This is not Western World, this is Africa and civil war So, to change the tile, I need a tile with the city texture but I don't want buildings to "pop up". I am not familiar with terrain editing, I am just trying to improve Centurion's Angola terrain, so I need some explanations :)

Thank you Ludo :

Actually, a rumor says that during the Kosovo operations, some pilot recieved some "nice letters" at their home

Great I will play a new NF5 campaign soon !!!

Yes, basically

But the french do this too :

Well, that does not reflect my feeling : The shafrir 2 is a limited missile of its generation, but it is not that bad, and not as bad as the AIM-9B or AA-2. I made a full 1973 campaigns and my kill rate with around 50% with this missile. The Shafrir 1 is mainly here for pure esthetical purpose. The Israeli tactic, which I used to great effect with Mirage IIIC and Nesher consists in fly at high speed, than turn hard, leeting your speed drop very low but gain a high instantaneous turn, while avoiding overshooting and gain an advantageous position, and fire. This technics kills a Mig21 (F, PFM, or MF) in 3-5 minutes and is also efficient against all potential ennemies (Hunter, Mig17 and 19) and even Mig-23s (I made a Nato 1980 campiagn with a Mirage IIIC) Of course, against a F16 or the like, you're dead I think that you try to fight in terms of constant energy management, which is not the right way to do in Mirage. The point is to think of your energy as a "bullet" : you keep it until you have an opprtunity, you "fire it" (ie hard maneuvers without energy considerations to get into firing position), then you "reload" by extending. The point is that you must feel the moment when you must switch between tight turning to get a firing solution (offensive) and tight turning to increase delexion and be safe (defensive), remember that your ennemies weapons are also very limited so as long as you have a reasonnable deflection angle, you can quickly go beyond your ennemies weapons enveloppe.

No : "Ber-tan-gl" (the "e" is mute) and "gl" is like "glamourous" not "gal" as the english usually spell at the end of a word As to the accent, absolutly no rule : there is a tendancy to depends on the origin of the person (that's why we call "Southern accent" ...) but this could change from village to village

If you believe this story, I think you will also believe this : http://www.intifada-palestine.com/2015/10/air-duel-between-the-sukhoi-su-30-russian-sm-and-israeli-f-15/

Too bad I cannot connect to DAT, I sent a mail to cesar I cannot connect for few months now, but no answer :(

Let us tell the problem another way : In terms of electronic warfare, the more data you can collect on a system, the easier it will be to analyse how it works, and eventually jam (or counter) it. Viewed from the opposite side, you must avoid to use your EW system too often. For instance, during exercises such as Red Flag or others, most EW systems work under "specific conditions" so that nobody can collect significant information on them. So trying to jam "just for fun" a Destroyer is not the most clever thing to do as the EW officier of the ship will certainly record the signals and you can be sure that those records will be carefully analyzed with care and exploited with love. At least in the early 90's, tempting the other side to make "full use" of their system was a great ELINT game !!! I don't think that ARM are very much used nowadays, modern doctrines consist in obtaining the coordinates of the target by other means and send "there" all kind of bombs ...

The rest of the text is more interesting, as they added that 27 sailors were so disgusted that they immediatly resigned and left for Bulgaria (if I had to flee US, Bulagria would obviously be the first country I would love to live in, much before Germany :) ) .... So it is highly likely that this is a hoax, please check that so called "pentagone source" As a further indication, the main french site reporting this story is "Voltaire" : http://www.voltairenet.org/article185324.html Those guys still say that no plane crashed on the Pentagon in sept 2001 Also, here is the genuine Reuter new : http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/14/usa-russia-blacksea-idUSL2N0N60V520140414

Yes, it's a pity !

Nice to see

It is a problem for people who wants to use Ojcar's armchair aces as they heavily rely on DAT stuff

I think that Duffelblog is the main reason why the US should continue with the F-35
