....but misses pidgeons :) On Jan. 27, a Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) was tested against a moving target at sea off San Nicolas Island, California. What is more, the TLAM was launched from a ship and guided into its target by an F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. A video of the test was published by USNI News. It shows the missile launched from guided missile destroyer USS Kidd (DDG-100) and picked up by the aircraft, fly at low altitude towards the target chased by the Super Hornet and punch a hole through a container on a ship (scaring some pigeons away). The Tomahawk IV can hit at a range of 1,000 miles and can adjust its flight path to pursuit moving targets. Guidance will eventually come from various platforms, including ISR (Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance) aircraft and, most probably, drones. Accoring to USNI News, the new Tomahawk variant could serve as a gap filler until the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LARSM), the navalized version based on the JASSM-ER, will be able to support the Navy’s “distributed lethality” warfare strategy. http://theaviationist.com/2015/02/13/tlam-guided-by-hornet/

Radar-guided missile problem in SF2
MigBuster replied to Stipe's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Before reinstall - Can you remove all mods by cutting out the mod folder - and pasting it elsewhere. You can then test it from scratch. -
Radar-guided missile problem in SF2
MigBuster replied to Stipe's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Which aircraft? Are you properly locking a target up? Is it in radar clutter? Can you check the control mapping for the radar acquisition keys? -
Sound absence after Aircraft-Installing
MigBuster replied to SergejKorolev's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
From http://combatace.com/topic/44026-converting-older-planes-to-work-in-sf2-%E2%80%93-a-basic-guide-by-migbuster/ 19. No sounds from my aircraft?? Well no different to the SF1 series here but guess its part of it and its easy Open up the jets _data.ini file and find the [sound] section [sound] EngineSoundName=TornadoADV <--------Engine sound AfterburnerSoundName=TornadoBurner <------Afterburner sound DamagedEngineSound= <---------obvious FlapsSoundName=Flaps <-----------Flaps sound <shock> AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes <------------Airbrakes sound GearsSound=Gear <----------undercarriage sound LandingSoundName=TireTouch <--------sound made when hitting runway on landing StallSoundName=NotApplicable <---------sound if you stall the jet WindSoundName=NotApplicable <-----------wind loop sound To fix it -you need to find the wav files called TornadoADV.wav and TornadoBurner.wav and stick them in your Sounds folder. Where are they you say - well they will be with the jet or in the sounds folder in your old game - and of course you can make your own wav files if you like. If you cant find the files set the lines to this: [sound] EngineSoundName=JetEngine AfterburnerSoundName=JetBurner DamagedEngineSoundName= FlapsSoundName=Flaps AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes GearsSoundName=Gear Thats right you are now using the default in game engine and burner sounds!! If you have a prop plane [sound] EngineSoundName=PropLoop AfterburnerSoundName= DamagedEngineSoundName= FlapsSoundName=Flaps AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes GearsSoundName=Gear -

How to win in a dogfight: Stories from a pilot who flew F-16s and MiGs
MigBuster posted a topic in Military and General Aviation
Lt. Col. Fred "Spanky" Clifton is one of the most experienced aggressor pilots ever, having flown the F-15, F-5, F-16 and the notorious MiG-29. He's been in dogfights with pretty much every fighter out there and he's an instructor at the prestigious Fighter Weapons School. Now he's here to share his expertise with you. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/how-to-win-in-a-dogfight-stories-from-a-pilot-who-flew-1682723379 -
How to win in a dogfight: Stories from a pilot who flew F-16s and MiGs
MigBuster replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
Interesting - from the article author -- Copy all wrt my F-35 comments and I'll take the barbs if you're so inclined to chuck 'em my direction. Passing up the opportunity to keep one's mouth shut always invites an equal and opposite reaction and I should've taken the shut-up approach. That any of us offer opinions about jets that none of us has ever flown or only flown against is done quite often on websites such as these. Most times those opinions are lacking or just plain wrong. I've never flown the Mirage 2000, but wasn't too impressed by what I experienced. No, I'm not a reader of Foxtrot Alpha and the only article I'd ever seen from that website was one about a former squadron mate flying BFM against his son. Former squadron mate in a Viper, son in a Strike Eagle. Reading through the posts, Tyler Rogoway stated that the Viper was better in horizontal maneuvering and the (light gray) Eagle was better in the vertical. Hardly ever replying to web posts, I did reply that the Viper (GE-powered anyway) is better at both. He somehow knew of my flight history and asked if I'd respond to an internet interview. So I answered his questions on my experiences and offered my opinions on others. I'm not aware that he has any hidden F-35 agenda. I've not read anything else that he has written. Almost all the e-mails I've gotten regarding what I said about the F-35 have been positive, to include a former Lockheed/Martin executive that I've know for many years. But with the amount of response I garnered, I decided to take a closer look at what I'd said and research more about the F-35 than what I'd picked up in bar talk and internet reports (not Foxtrot Alpha). After spending a couple of days peeling back the onion skin I've amended my overall assessment of the F-35 and posted this on Foxtrot Alpha to revise my statement: Being an adherent to the saying that a wise man acknowledges his mistakes and a fool defends his; I was probably a little harsh on my assessment of the F-35. But those opinions were formed through my exposure to things going on at Nellis. Did I bite off on chaff? I will stand by my comment that the three variants and the required commonality between the three results in performance penalties, especially for the A and the C models. After discussions with an old engineer friend of mine, who was also one of John Boyd's guys, the F-35 actually has a higher fuel fraction than the F-22 and, therefore, potentially better range. I also talked to someone who recently checked out in the Lightning II and his description of fuel burn rips holes in my previous opinion. Scratch that off the list. The new F-35 pilot was also impressed with acceleration in a certain subsonic speed regime. So I'll concede that. The F-35 will probably never have the raw dogfighting potential of the F-16, but the different customers bought off on that. Not a requirement? I always figured it was better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it. A former HH-60 pilot and coworker of mine always jests about fighters not really needing guns. The previous statement is my normal comeback. Regardless, the fighter pilots that fly and will fly the F-35 could take any airplane they get and figure how to be lethal with it and dominate any enemy. Of than I'm certain. So, in the end, the Lightning II is not such a pig after all. It has great avionics and will do fine. The program has still cost too much and has been poorly managed by the DoD and Lockheed/Martin. But that's another story. Would I still rather fly the Raptor? You bet. I guess in the end you got to dance with what brung ya. In my case, back to the beginning with two tails and two engines. The Raptors do mostly air-to-air (as far as I know); and for that mission, mission planning isn't much more than filling out a line-up card. At my age now, that's all the attention span I've got. I'd also build more Raptors and upgraded Vipers and Eagles. Heck, I want it all. Back to the Ronnie Reagan 40 fighter wings and a fighter jet in every garage!! Peace out, Spanky I'll also add I wish I were 20 years younger and get back out there. Unfortunately, if I ever got into a Raptor cockpit I'd probably be a 4-g max kind of guy. http://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=25623&start=540 -
Never used it myself - It looks pretty techy looking at the instructions. So you installed the server on the PC (Windows)? http://www.touch-ir.com/setup.htm and you installed the Touch Control application on the iPad (ios) ? http://www.touch-ir.com/iosdevicesetup.htm And you can contact the server from the iPad yes using the test URL in step 2 (using the correct IP address obviously) Add on's you buy via iTunes should be automatically downloading to the iPad when you sync it with the PC if you dont do it direct or via iCloud. I have seen BeachAV8R using different software (iControl) for DCS http://www.simhq.com/_mobile/mobile_006a.html Have you contacted this guy? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80303 You would need to also give a clue as to what steps you are failing on.
