Those pesky vikings took all the pretty woman centuries ago.

The international air corridor over the Ukraine is still open. All international airlines used it up today for their routes from Europe to South East Asia.

And it was believed to be safe, because the pro russian rebels had no weapons to harm a plane in 10.000 meters. They have Strelas and Iglas which can reach 2 or 3 km maximum and which are used to down some ukrainian planes.

News tell us, that the plan was shot down by a BuK SAM system. Its the question who fired the missile on the Malaysian flight.

The ukrainian president says it were not the ukrainian armed forces. The russians say, they have no BUK in this area.

Whom you can believe? I dont know. I only can remember that some years ago a training shot of S-200 Vega accidently downed a airliner over the Black Sea. Perhaps something like these could happen again.

I wish you the best of luck.

This site has a lot of info:

Yes, remove the ModelNodeName for every station you want to show up. 

[LeftOutStation1]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=1
StationGroupID=1
StationType=EXTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=-5.90,-0.09,-0.63
AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0
LoadLimit=113.40
DiameterLimit=0.36
AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,RCKT
AttachmentType=NATO,USN
ModelNodeName=
PylonMass=10.00
PylonDragArea=0.01

I remember using that some time ago (pre-July 12 patch)

 

does anyone remember if, when using the FlyAll=TRUE, AND have the cockpit enabled (via paladraian's MigPits) if the real Mig cockpt shows, or the Scooters?

(don't have the time or inclination to test it myself right now...)

Just tested with Stary's Il-28 pit, and it showes up.

That is odd, it works over here. The pylons them selves are fixed, the adapter however is not, it is called for in the inner weaponstations:

[LeftInnerWingStation]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=3

StationGroupID=4

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=-2.05,2.74,-1.28

AttachmentAngles=0.0,-1.0,0.0

LoadLimit=1400

AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,CGR,TER,RP

AttachmentType=NATO,USN

ModelNodeName=adapter_inner_L

PylonMass=10.89

PylondragArea=0.00

LaunchRailNodeName=

MinExtentPosition=

MaxExtentPosition=

that is why I added two new weaponstations, specifically for the sparrows, with no ModelNodeName so the adapters don't show up:

[sparrowWingStationLeft]

SystemType=WEAPON_STATION

StationID=17

StationGroupID=2

GroupLimit=4

StationType=EXTERNAL

AttachmentPosition=-2.05,2.74,-1.22

AttachmentAngles=0.0,-1.0,0.0

LoadLimit=1400

AllowedWeaponClass=SAHM

AttachmentType=NATO,USN

ModelNodeName=

PylonMass=10.89

PylondragArea=0.00

LaunchRailNodeName=

MinExtentPosition=

MaxExtentPosition=

While we wait for Ravenclaw's next masterpiece, you can try this ini, it has two new pylons added for the sparrow. They are grouped with the sidewinder stations so you can choose one of them.

Mark 77, AFAIK it's in the Gunny Ordnance shop

Wonderful!

You can edit the brushes in the brush editor, found in the brushes menu. There you can increase the spacing, then use the pencil tool to draw the dotted line.

Found a pic that shows the cockpit of this so-called aircraft. My favourite instrument is the airspeed indicator. We aren't exactly talking about supersonic speeds here...

 

 

At least it has a nice car stereo.

Okee-dokee, given that math is not my strong suit, I had skipped working out the formula given in the first post and went straight for the tool; however I just tried the formula and it doesn't seem correct even for the example given. The formula is: Delta V=10xSpecific Impulsex(initial weight/final weight)in M/S. So plugging in the author's numbers we get: Delta V=10x245x(335/(335-132))in M/S. Or 10x245x(335/203)in M/S. Or, 10x245x1.65=4042.5 M/S, not 1227 as the author states. Am I screwing this up somehow, (wouldn't be the first time)? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

you forgot to take the logarithm of the weight ratio, ln(1.65)=0.5

The equation is the first post is known as the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

Hi Ravenclaw,

did you already have this document? It has a drawing with measurements for the AIM-7C.

Can someone tell me exactly when the British invaded Russia? Honestly I can't recall a single thing.

 

Hmmm...perhaps this:

 

 

is a little too inclusive? I think the definition of "invasion" used is far too broad.

Crimean war I guess.

Here we go again. A raid is a military action. It is not an invasion.

 

What you did was like Pearl Harbour, not D-Day. See the Difference?

True, I see the difference, but they counted raids in the article, even pirate actions.

How often was England invaded? You could argue we did it twice, raid on the Medway and the glorious revolution.

Volker, here's an extra close-up of the midas.

Perhaps this book, unfortunately nothing from the 80's.

IIRC the Starfighter cockpit in SF1 is a model of the MAP (military assistance program) Starfighter build by Canadair.

RIP,

just read he gave a speech in the Netherlands a year and a half ago, if I had known then I would have gone.

Isn't the 104 at the beginning the KLu Solo-Display?

It is a Dutch Starfighter, not sure if it's the solo display.
