Nato Reporting name on Chinese equipment
Gepard replied to macelena's topic in Military and General Aviation
The NATO reporting names were launched because the original soviet designation of weapons was very often not known. If the type name of weapons were well known the NATO reporting names were not widely used. For example: the NATO reporting name of the T-72 tank was Tiger, but nobody used it. I think it is the same with the J-10. i guess it has a NATO reporting name, but this name is widely unkown. -

File Name: Mirage 2000C1 File Submitter: Gepard File Submitted: 24 January 2010 File Category: Mirage and Kfir Mirage2000C1 France ***************** version1.1 In the first version the ammo capability of my Mirage2000C1 was a little bit overrated. Sorry, my fault. Now i have corrected the loadout of this bird. The Matra Super530 semi active missiles are not longer available for the fuselage weapon stations. Now you can load 2 of them under the inner wing stations. Laser guided Bombs now can be carried under the wing and under the fuselage. 2 AS-30L laser guided missiles can be armed under the wings. One Martel Anti Radar Missile is possible at the centerline station. Also i have reduced the gun ammo from 150 to 125 rounds per gun. ---------------------------------------------------------- I. This is a mod of Erwin_Hans Taiwanese Mirage2000-5. When the Mirage 2000 came to the squadrons the first 37 jets still had the weaker engine M53-5, the originally only for export intended radar RDM and no air refuel probe. From the 38. jet they got the more powerfull RDI radar and the M53-P2 engine. This mod represent the first version of the french Mirage-2000C, called Mirage 2000C1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. Changes: - weaker engine to represent the M53-5 - other Radar and weaker avionics - i use the F-15A cockpit which is the closest available to the Mirage2000 cockpit - new skin - changes in the Flightmodel to overcome the tendency to overroll and by using the autopilot to overpitch while landing approach +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III. CREDITS: I want to say thank you to Erwin_Hans for the permission to mod his Mirage2000-5. The original 3D Model was made by aleks The flight Model was done by IAFmars and YEYEYE and Erwin_hans ---------------------------------------------------------- IV. INSTALLATION: -Unzip all files into your objects/aircraft folder. -For the case that you have no weaponpack you will find all Mirage2000C1 weapons in the included Weapons folder. To install follow the instructions in the readme there. ---------------------------------------------------------- V. For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use CombatAce forum or send me a PM.

Northop N-102 Fang
Gepard replied to streakeagle's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
I dont think so that FOD would be a problem. The nose gear is to close to the air intake, that i guess that a stone or dirt from the runway would not find its wa into the intake. -
SUEZ 2 Revisited
Gepard replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Suez 2 terrain is originally made by me in a time when the in the ground sunken objects still were no problem. To solve it: 1. open file Suez2_data.ini 2. look for line HeightMapScale=10.000000 replace with HeightMapScale=1.000000 Should work, but the terrain will not more as hilly as before. -

In the file environment.ini i found the lines: [Gravity] Acceleration=9.81 ForceVector=0.0,0.0,-1.0 Does it mean, that if i set Acceleration=0 i can make a space sim? Opens this horizons for a X-Wing mod or a Klingon vs Starfleet mod?

Mi-24 skin problem
Gepard replied to Ice Man's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I tested the installation procedure for my Paula again with SFP1, WOE, WOE and it runs fine. If you extract file Mi-24P Paula.rar you get a folder with name Mi-24P Paula In this is a Subfolder with the name Mi-24P Paula in this you find 3 Folders 1. Mi-24P 2. Sounds 3. Weapons. Move the folder Mi-24P into your aircraft folder. Then you need the file Mi24P-R0D.LOD which you get from Capuns homepage. Without this file you will see no heli, but only the armament without enithing else. Thats it. Mi-24P Paula is made for 1.st generation Sim. If the skin files would be corrupted you would see a white Helicopter. -
Found the links below. They are part of the movie "Der Flieger", but if you look carefully you see strenght and weakness of the WP system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_QbYZKvHfs&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zhUwaq2L88

Northop N-102 Fang
Gepard replied to streakeagle's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Sci-Fi/Anime/What If Forum
Yeah,the Fang was a nice bird. Unfortunatly it came never in the air. It would have been a better choise than the Starfighter. By the way, the Starfighter is in game the most overmodelled plane. -

Nobody with a clear head will claim that the USA are unwilling to help. It is one of the most outstanding behaviors of that nation, that if somewhere in the world is a urgent need of help after natural disasters, the USA will send men, food and equipment. It does not depend on the government of the USA, it not depend on the president. Obama send help now to Haiti, Bush did the same after the Tsunami 5 or 6 years ago. And the other "western" contries are helping too, ouf course not with the big effort the USA is able to do. Perhaps the term western countries is wrong selected, perhaps the term "the old and the new world" is better. The help comes from the communist Cuba, South American States,over Russia, EU States, CANADA to the USA. A very wide range of countries. Help is enough, but it is difficult to bring them into a "failed" country. That the infrastructure is destroyed is terrible, but the most horrible thing for the people is that in Haiti is no working government, no really police, no military, no civil protection service ...

Jaguar A question
Gepard posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
For my France vs UK campaigns i try to mod a british Jaguar GR.1 into a french Jaguar A. Does the Jaguar A had also the upper wing IR missile rails like the british Jaguars? I have tried to find photos, but never saw french Jaguars with this rails. -
No. It was a Trainer or an ground attacker. Never a fighter. The west german intended to use the Alpha Jet as helicopter destroyer and trained it using CH-53 as mock up enemy. After the unification of Germany they tested it with a Mi-24. After this test the heli destroyer role of the Alpha Jet was more than dead.

Ich habe nach längerer Zeit meinen alten Mirage2000EM mod herausgekramt. Den hatte ich vor dem Oktoberpatch08 gemacht und da lief alles glatt. Nun heute, mit dem Patch, fliegt sich die Mirage ein wenig ulkig. Sie baut sehr schnell sehr hohe g Werte auf, so daß redout und blackout viel zu schnell kommen. Sie rollt nach wenn man in der Luft eine Rolle gemacht hat und den Steuerknüppel wieder los läßt (fast 180° Nachrollen). Und zu guter letzt nickt die Maschine wie verrückt wenn der Autopilot einen Landeanflug macht. Frage: Hat jemand eine Idee wie ich das Biest wieder in ruhige Bahnen bekomme?
-
Ich habe es in der Zwischenzeit gefunden. Es ist der Wert Cldc=x.xxx der das Rollverhalten steuert. Bei der Mirage2000EM hatte ich bisher Cldc=0.0295. Den habe ich auf Cldc=0.0195 geändert und nun läuft das Mächden wieder so wie es soll.

How to let SAMs/AAAs reselect targets?
Gepard replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
One word to the SAM tactics. The SA-2 Guideline batteries fired usually a salvo of 3 missiles at one target. This was soviet tactic and was used in Vietnam and Near East wars. The SA-3 and SA-6 fired usally a salvo of 2 missiles at one target. -
I would set the (normal combat) weight of 10 tonnes as the border between light fighters and medium fighters.
-
They sold a herbizid and the US used it as weapon. A typical dual use problem. If would want to prevent dual use problems you not even could sell kitchen knifes.

Who knew P-3's were so threatening?
Gepard replied to DWCAce's topic in Military and General Aviation
The EU is far to be perfect. In contrary. The european unification may be a fiction. But it is the biggest peace keeping activity worldwide. If you remember back how often in history the europeans played their favorit game "kill each other" and how often they played it when became member of the EU (EC) then you would see the worth of the EU. Its far better to have a very suboptimal EU than to have one optimal war. -
Jaguar A question
Gepard replied to Gepard's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Used the french Jaguars the metric system in the HUD or were all data displayed in knots and feet?
