Ace - Is a MiG-21F on its way as well?

Probably SF2V with a mod from here incorporated in the image! bloody Internet

They look like typical happy British women

Happy Birthday!

Have a great day!

Ha - well there is a quote on the comments page from the uninformed public: And our wonderful congress wants these dangerous drones flying over America

Why thanks - it sure was easy................and I would love to do some dare devil challenges when I have glued the wings back on

Skyflash could have been available by then.

pants - was enjoying the P-51 campaign until a load of heavily armed ZSUs came into view!

If Chuck Yeager built airfields......

Ok well that raises another question Whats the point of a helicopter that only flies indoors and cant go further than about 3 mtrs up and 2 mtrs sideways

A few things they may not have considered..... How do you steer it? When you need a rest will it glide for about 30 mins while you put your feet up?

Going more modern would bring in the crowds you would think for FC4 - defo I think the P-51 module is pretty good if you haven't done MSX etc - because its relatively easy to operate the switches - and pretty hard to fly. The challenge campaign is great fun flying through all those gates. And it seems faster than the A-10C

No I'm not - I'm pointing out that top speed at high Mach is useful for interception and running away that's about it - the fuel and time it takes to get there is substantial and cant be sustained - a jet with the RCS of the Su-35 and in full afterburner is not exactly low vis (The F-35 has an IRST as well! ). Also the tactical situation means you don't always get to choose where you fight - you don't have the luxury of just going to M2.0 when you feel like it. The number of missiles the Su-35 carries will add drag slowing it down and increase its RCS and its chance of ever getting a first shot in must be <10% - so its irrelevant whether Wikipedia / APA tells you Russian R-77s have some kind of range advantage (because these figures are classified anyway). The only scenario where the Su-35 could be used to effect is in massive numbers - but tbh I dont think they made that many - focus will turn to stealth jets like the PAK-FA because the Su-35 is pretty much obsolete. Who says the F-35 isn't as stealthy as the F-22 btw ? - again a guess based on a photo - not much use The thing about the APA stuff is look at the totally ridiculous 1v1 head on scenarios (and the F-111 agenda) they always portray - if the Su-35 ever went head to head with an F-35 - its not the F-35 the Su actually sees that's likely to be firing at it. If I were you I wouldn't worry about the F-35 - the Su-35 is the one you should be worried about - and although it seems illogical at first - you have to get round the new way of fighting with sensor fusion etc etc

You mean APA Carlo Kopp..... Okay - tell me how the Su-35 targets and fires anything at the F-35 when it has no idea its there? - the radar is far superior to the OLS-35 and works in any weather - as i said the Su-35 will be detected by everything and will be on the defensive straight away. Low and slow? since when was M1.6 slow..........and how long can the Su-35 fly above M1.6 on internal fuel when its miles from base say......

What is the source for these? - and where are they getting their information from? Most of the articles you see slagging off the F-35 are by the clueless or by people massaging figures to make it look bad - the above looks like its written by a sim player comparing two 4th gen jets! For example - lets take 1 paragraph "Mach on entry" from the above - is that totally true? http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/the-dewline/2012/08/edwards-afb-about-to-start-f-3.html Interestingly, while it's not remotely close to being as fast as its older F-22 sibling, the guys at Edwards have been routinely taking the F-35 up to its max speed of Mach 1.6 with internal payloads. I'm pretty Sure the Su-35 will never be flying anywhere near M2.0 in combat (it has neither the fuel, the time or the drag index to do so with missiles) - and flying high speed at 40k ft where the whole world saw you on radar 2 hours ago cant be that great an idea They have no idea on the capability of the ECM and radar systems on the F-35 - that's classified - but if you look at the resource going into it you would be hard pressed to say it not in a different world compared to whats on the Su-35. EODAS only optimized for A-G? where did they get that from - its supposed to be able to pick up A-A missiles and ID aircraft for the pilot, as well as pick up SAMs and ground fire. You can post it on here http://www.f-16.net/ - and have it ripped to shreds - so suggest doing some actual research on it first

Even the DCS:A-10C and BMS:F-16C sims dont have all the displays and classified stuff in the pits - so there will be a hell of a lot missing from this module As has kinda been said - in the 1980/90s sims gave you the impression of a world where all enemies and missiles could be detected around at 360 with no limitations - and missiles rarely missed - and yet here we are again . I'm of the impression the the F-35 will be a Beta test version on IOC and be full of bugs and limitations - however 10 years of development later might move it closer towards those goals.

Way before my time - but suspect that wasnt far over 79 - 0 This is also a classic piss take......fix bayonets!

disaster - sorry to hear about that Wrench - system recovery used to leave the system in such a inconsistent state I never used it. check c:\users - sometimes it used to create a temporary profile Deep breath.............

gotta say 79-0 is some achievement - even if the other team had about 4 players sent off and put no one in goal it wouldn't be that easy
