Some views of the F-14 TCS (TV Camera Set) that later F-14s had under the nose. Pilots could slave it to the radar for long range Visual ID....similar to the earlier TISEO or the late TGPs like LANTIRN / SNIPER etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=150&v=PhuOPJ5pWsU

As Strahi states there has never been any actual claims like that. This 52 min video was a series of interviews with the surviving MiG-29 Serbian pilots but seems to be blocked now......if you can find another copy it's worth watching to get an idea of the situation they were in.

Glad it is all clear now (Yes that was sarcasm ) Keep comments clean

Blighter AUDS (Anti-UAV Defence System) is a counter drone system that is designed to disrupt and neutralise unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) engaged in hostile airborne surveillance and potentially malicious activity. The Blighter AUDS system combines electronic-scanning radar target detection, electro-optical (EO) tracking/classification and directional RF inhibition capability. Blighter AUDS is a smart-sensor and effector package capable of remotely detecting small UAVs and then tracking and classifying them before providing the option to disrupt their activity. The system may be used in remote or urban areas to prevent UAVs being used for terrorist attacks, espionage or other malicious activities against sites with critical infrastructure. http://www.blighter.com/products/blighter-auds-anti-uav-defence-system.html

The mirror (another rag) is running the story as well.......and their source of evidence?? Social media users said there was a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria. The Russian Embassy in London was not available for comment.

British soldier Jon Heywood has become an overnight multi-millionaire after betting 25p. The 26-year-old who toured Afghanistan won his fortune in an online casino and kept his win quiet for three days. He even went to work the following day. He said: "I couldn't believe that I'd won all this money at the time - and it still hasn't sunk in. It's amazing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/34496035/soldier-wins-132m-after-gambling-25p-online Lucky sod! Note I don't endorse or recommend gambling in any form btw

Open in notepad to change time / title/ aircraft & carrier type etc and stick in the Missions mod folder (which you may need to create. CARRIER_LANDING_NIGHT1.zip

Two seat Jet trainer aircraft L-39C is intended for basic and advanced pilot training in visual and instrument flight rules weather conditions, day and night and also for combat use against air and ground targets. Its development started in the middle 60s of the last century by the Czech “Aero Vodochody”. In the 70s the aircraft has entered service and is still in the operational use in over 30 countries worldwide. The DCS L-39C is the most accurate computer simulation of this aircraft among flight simulators available for PC. The aircraft systems, engine and weapons have been simulated in full. The professional flight model has been developed. All the real procedures are possible in two interactive cockpits. Highly detailed and accurate model of the aircraft will make you feel the unforgettable sense of flying the famous “flying school desk”, which opened the way to the sky to thousands of air forces pilots worldwide. Key Features of the DCS: L-39 Albatros: Professional Flight Model that accurately mimics the performance and flight characteristics of this legendary trainer Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse Fully modelled weapon system Accurate L-39C model with correct country markings Detailed modelling of the L-39 instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, electrical and hydraulic systems Fly from either the front seat or back seat Planned cooperative multiplayer in the same aircraft (not available at release) Two versions of aircraft: L-39C that will be available in the initial beta and L-39ZA that will be later http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/albatros/

http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=60728#p60728 Sorry to hear you're having driver problem, technology marches on forward at relentless speed... None of our current games are officially supported on Windows 8 and 10, but they do seem to run fine on other graphics cards, so hopefully nVidia will fix their drivers soon. In the meantime, you can try adjusting the in-game graphics options (turn off shadows, etc) to see if that improves things. Support from TK might not be forthcoming

Sam Smith's Writing's On The Wall has made history by becoming the first Bond theme to reach number one in the UK. The track achieved combined chart sales and streams of 70,000 copies - 13,000 ahead of its closest competitor, Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? The previous highest-charting Bond themes were Adele's Skyfall and Duran Duran's View To A Kill, which both reached number two. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34425299

There was but no idea if anyone still does it.......................you might need a time machine to go back 10 years.............. Buddy lasing? AFAIK only the A-10C module has this type of fidelity with the Litening pod it carries............but that's Falcon BMS level avionics and no idea if you can do it for other A-10Cs...........in single player you can pick up ground based lasers from troops after setting the laser codes etc....see the massive manual.

Yes DCS is multiplayer...........and there are squadrons out there........you want FC3 level jets though.

There are the Su-30s

Is that on the landing Su-34 at 00:22?

The head of US Air Combat Command says it would be his dream to restart production of the Lockheed Martin F-22 air superiority jet as potential adversaries like Russia and China “close the gap” with Western air power. But the chances of the Raptor, which is still considered the world’s premier air-to-air combat jet, re-entering serial production is likely to remain a dream due to year-to-year defence budget uncertainty and the introduction of the air force’s top three priorities – the Lockheed F-35 multirole fighter, Boeing KC-46 tanker, and Long-Range Strike Bomber. “I dream about it every night in the hopes it will happen, but I can’t tell you what the cost would be,” says Gen Herbert "Hawk" Carlisle. “With the fiscal environment we’re operating under, I don’t know if we’d be able to get that through Congress or OSD (the Office of the Secretary of Defense).” F-22 procurement quantities were trimmed repeatedly, going from 750 to 339 and production was finally capped at 195 aircraft – which Carlisle calls the “biggest mistake ever”. But instead of producing more F-22s as a stopgap measure until a sixth-generation air superiority aircraft comes online in the late 2020s, Carlisle and USAF chief of staff Gen Mark Welsh point to Boeing F-15C upgrades and more dependence on F-35 and F-22 teaming as the way forward. “We have to have the F-35,” Welsh said at an Air & Space Conference in Washington this week. “It’s not intended to be an air superiority fighter; it was designed to be a complimentary fighter and to do the multi-purpose air-to-ground work while the F-22 did the air-to-air work. The F-22 buy was curtailed and now we don’t have enough F-22s to do large theatre operations in the air-to-air arena. “We have to supplement them with something near-term and that’s going to be the F-15C – which is why we have to upgrade it with AESA radar and other things to be credible in that arena in the next 10 years.” Welsh says relying more on the F-15C and F-35 is the “only practical solution” to maintaining dominance in air-to-air realm – not restarting F-22 production. Although, he admits the air force has a serious capacity problem, having slimmed down from 188 fighter squadrons at the end of the Cold War to just 49 squadrons in the current five-year plan. Today, America has four active fighter production lines including the Boeing F-15, F/A-18 and Lockheed F-16 and F-35, however, all but the F-35 line will be shuttered by the end of the decade without additional domestic or international orders. Meanwhile, Russia and China maintain steady production of several advanced fourth-generation fighter aircraft, including the Russian Mikoyan MiG-29, MiG-35, Sukhoi Su-35, Su-30 and Chinese Chengdu J-10 and Shenyang J-11. In the fifth-generation portfolio, Russia is pursuing the Sukhoi T-50 (PAK FA) and China intends to introduce the Chengdu J-20 and Shenyang J-31. Some industry officials have said privately that it would be very possible restart F-22 production since much of the tooling and manufacturing equipment remains intact in storage, but it would be expensive and the supplier base has already moved onto other projects. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/f-15c-f-35-to-boost-us-air-to-air-capacity-not-mor-416863/ Sorry need to add the F-16 2040 proposal
