Re: Of Airplanes And Books...
WHAT???? YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT AIRPLANES AND NOBODY CALLED ME????
Well...
I thought the Berkut was called Su-43.,but something must have changed since I played Ace Combat 3 for the last time...
Mobius, I hope you don't take what is said in Ace Combat as real! That's almost pure sci-fi! Berkut was called Su-37, then changed to Su-47 like Herra said, and now is also called Terminator, but I think this name comes from Western press.
There's also a bomber variant with a kitchen,right?
The Su-27 has a bomber variant, the Su-32 Platypus (take a look at http://www.sukhoi.org/eng/planes/military/su32/), with two pilots seated side-by-side. It doesn't have a kitchen, but it has a nice living room with satellite TV and a nice jacuzzi in the bathroom  :lol:
I've never heard about a bomber version of the Su-47. I'll look for something...
DySkO,in your signature there's a reference to the F-35.I think it should be called Lighting III since there were two Lightings:
1)The famous P-38,WWII;
2)One of the first jets,able of almost vertical take offs(not like a VTOL,but able to quick move pointing up once it's in the air). Also one of the first planes able to launch missiles;
Nobody expects the airplane inquisition!
The English Electric Lightning was one of the first fighter to carry missiles (and also the first English fighter to reach Mach 2), but it wasn't neither VTOL nor STOL, but yes, it could climb fast. And it wasn't considered by the USAF as a Lightning II because it was English.

Errr... the new topic name doesn't appear in the index. It's still "Italianessness".

As far as I know, the Su-47 Berkut has an airframe comparable (in size and payload weight capacity) to many light bombers but it still has the maneuverability of a fighter (and actually better maneuverability than most fighters).

It's certainly more than apt to role of strike bomber as well as air superiority fighter - if only there were more than just few prototypes existing.


By the way, have you ever tried to plan your own airplane in X-Plane's Plane Builder? I have. It's not as easy as it might sound like, but I suggest you try, it's great fun (even though thebuilder program has its own stupidities, including absence of undo/redo function... :shaking: and some lesser dumbities... but anyway.

You can install the demo version, the only limitation is that the joystick comes unrecognized after 6 minutes of flight, and you have to by lisence to make it work all the time, but the plane builder has no limitations - exept some in-built "features".

Another thing the plane builder is rather useful is that if you have some concept art and would like to model it, it's IMO much easier to make the model in Plane Builder, especially if you have accurate blueprints. There are some limitations, of course, compared to full feature modelling program, but it's good as a beginning - final tuning could be done for example in Blender, since Blender with appropriate plugin reads the X-Plane aircraft models without any problems. And it also exports OBJ files, of course. ;)

I've bought X-Plane 8 a year ago. It's well done. But a question: do you have Mars complete scenery? Because mine has not... :(

I've tried to build an airplane with Plane Maker. The airplane I made is quite simple: looks like a needle with long wings. I've tried to make other planes, but since I downloaded 8.40 patch I can't use the Plane Maker anymore...  :( I hope to fix the problem with 8.50 patch.

Ah, about Sukhoi fighters I found this nice video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhX1hyJSbUs

Ehm I want to change the name....but how? I tried to change the subject but it remained Italiannessnessnessnessnessnessnessnessnessnessness!!!!

DySkO:I have the memory of an elephant. You couldn't imagine how much time has passed since I read something about airplanes.
About Ace Combat:both LieutenantGeneral and Mobius come from that saga,don't forget it!!!
In Ace Combat 3 there was a fighter called Aurora I saw on a recent number of La Macchina Del Tempo.
It's not always a fanta-sim...

Bahh YouTube... :p
I've got the same video on my HD, except it's on 720x528 resolution... :drevil:

Here be a DL link.

Another video. Little bit lower quality, but slightly longer, and still classifies as "cool" in my books.


I also have a high-quality video of Sukhoi Aerobatics, but I can't find a DL link right now. Those aerobatic planes are another of Sukhoi's wonders IMO...

Hmm, strange that you can't change the subject. You tried to change the subject in the first message? The one that opens the thread? Currently it says "Re: Italianness + 1 x ness + 2 x ness + ... + n x ness", n € N". You seem to have changed the topic of one of your recent messages?

Re: Mobius' Cafè,GTD Leda,deck 7.
What? Cafè? :lol:

The Leda comes from TheSouthernCross,for the unknowing.

I watched some other videos at YouTube,like that "Bird Strike brigns military jet down" and the famous accident with a Sukhoi in Paris...

Re: Mobius' Cafè,GTD Leda,deck 7.
Found a link to "Sukhoi Aerobatics" video.

Here be it. Beware, though - it's a 120MB file, but it is worth the time it takes to DL, I think.

Some good moves there... I think those beat the Sukhoi military jets even.

EDIT: The pilots are Svetlana Kapanina (Russia) and Jurgis Kairys (Lithuania).

Re: Mobius' Cafè,GTD Leda,deck 7.
What kind of conn are you on?

The server which it is on does not have the fastest one of connections either. On a single direct download using one thread I got only about 30-40 kB per second. With WinGet using four threads the speed went about up to 90-100 kB/s.

So if you have, say, 56k connection, you should get it in about 1-1½ hours or so.

When I heard the Tomact was retireing I allmsot cried.

My favorite fighter (followed closely by the A-10) of all times.

Too bad is was deliberatly sabotaged by some jerks who destroyed it's modls, thus making it harder to produce new parts and mantain the beauty.

My connection has 1/5 the speed of a 56k and sometimes even less.

The A-10 was a nice plane.One of my first toys was a model of the A-10,my father bought it(he's the Station Manager of the local airport,I love airplanes and spacecrafts thanks to this)....

No.

Janos is jealous because we're having a fun discussion here. He's not interested in planes and plane models and such, so he assumes we are gay. Because we have different interests than he does, he apparently assumes we also have different sexual preferences than he.

It's very common phenomenon in the Internets, you know. :lol:
