Hunt the intruder - out-flank him

[somebloke 0]

3 weeks? you said that 3 weeks ago. Can't wait. And will you be using any of the engines on other planes, besides the hunter?

Love your work, Footmunch. I'm wondering if you have any plans to add additional ( Current state of the art ) air to ground weapons to the Strike Eagles, and F-16 Vipers, like the JDAM, JASSM, JSOW, WCMD, AGM-130 ( Strike Eagle ), and the upcoming LOCAAS ( Viper and/or possibly the Strike Eagle )? Also, the Strike Eagle has successfully used the BLU-118 in combat during Enduring Freedom. Would be neat to see these planes carrying weapons weapons reflecting the most current level of technology. Our DOD spends big bucks on our defense budget. Might as well give us taxpayers what we pay out the ass for, you know?

Amen Ferretwings, its no real fun unless you get to play with all those destructive toys.

I wonder if there is some way to effectively script an Air support script for the JDAM's and launch standoff weapon attacks by utilizing features of the CoC Tomahawks.

[Footmunch 0]

Scripting for JDAMS (with pre-planned impact points) is

possible*, but I'm not sure how much fun it would be to fly

to within a few miles, get the release cue, push the button,

and then fly away again. At least with LGB's, you have to

approach the target.

For 'powered' stand-off weapons like JSOW and JASSM (and

possibly the Skipper), I think a 'Tomahawk' type approach

is better. There's no reason this code couldn't be 'fired'

from a plane addon, rather than a ground launcher.

Have you checked out the SLAM on the A-6? I think that's

pretty much the 'limit' in terms of missile-type weapons.

I think most of these systems are most appropriate on a JSF

addon...

* One approach would be to 'addweapon' to the plane when

the distance to the target, D, is: MaxRange > D > MinRange.

Otherwise 'removeweapon' when this isn't the case.

Personally i think the idea of Jdams only works in Actual flight sims, like F-22 Lighting.

lol...F-22 Lighting is FAR from a sim...novalogic and sim don't mix...but I think we all get the idea

The Beagle is still not up to a standard I'm happy with. Same

goes for the Canberra. I'm still working over both of these, as

well as the Vulcan.

We at NAFP have done some work on it but arent using it right now, contact me.

the -21, -17, -23 and -27 will all have improved textures

and models some time this summer.

I should warn you now, i'm a huge novalogic fan. Especially Delta Force series. Anyway, i think you got what i meant, the JDAM could only really be properly simulated using a proper Flight simulator.

[Sgt_Eversmann 1]

Can anyone remember of the game Joint Strike Fighter?

The JDAMS there were simulated very well, I think.

i saw the picture of the jaquar it have rockets on top of the

wing i never saw this anywhere

[fallchild 0]

Unusual I guess, but it happens

[wantingcobra 0]

thanx for the picture i never saw it before

There's already one Jaguar in OFP with the missiles on top, with RAF grey camo and everything!

no this will be released next week

please do not quote images

Fristly, there's a jag out there, Made by footmunch with crippler. It has the missiles above the wings.

Secondly don't quote images as it takes ages to scroll down.

and finally, that is the frenchpoint jag, not the RAF variant.

Any chance of a quick progress report please FM?

I read that our Eurofighters will not have cannons either, (at least we failed to buy the amunition for the cannons, so we can't use them) for a similar reason.

That can't be the case, since the Eurofighter is armed with a Mauser BK-27 27mm cannon, which is the same cannon on the Tornado, so ammunition or training shouldn't be a problem.

[somebloke 0]

The Eurofighter and tornado are pretty similar compared to other aircraft currently in use with the RAF. I saw both at Fairford, and there was some very big similarities, according to the commentators that is.

I remember hearing the story some time before this article was made though, and it was said then that the first few aircraft delivered would have the cannon but no amunition would be supplied for it. This was probably meant that no amunition for the cannon would be supplied to aircraft/units operating the Typhoon.

Either way it doesn't seem like we'll be using the cannon.

Thats annoying, what are we gonna do if we run out of missiles? Ask them to wait while we reload, or ram them? Lets hope they put bond gadgets on them so we can do clever tricks.

[Bobcatt666 0]

Has anyone else have a problem with the SU-27 Flanker losing its textures at distance? This seems to have happend with the most recent update of the plane, it gets beyond say 500 yards it turns all white other than the missiles slung under wing.

[da12thMonkey 1943]

ram them?

Well that's what they did during WW2...

And yes Bobcatt, other people have that problem, I believe it was mentioned before in this thread and Footmunch said it would be fixed in the versions we're currently awaiting.

Actually i think you're thinking of the flying bombs, and how RAF pilots would flip them with their wings. Although i could be wrong. I know of a Hurricane that was hit, so decided to crash on top of 2 Heinkels, the hurricane pilot bailed out...no bomber survivors.

Is this what you're thinking of?

Quote[/b] ]The Hurricane came down on 15 September 1940 and was the only plane to have crashed in central London during the war. Sergeant Holmes spotted a German Dornier bomber heading straight towards Buckingham Palace. He was out of ammunition and without the support of allied aircraft, so he decided to ram the enemy aircraft using the wing of his Hurricane.

The impact sent the Dornier bomber down but also caused the Hurricane to head earthwards. Sergeant Holmes ejected safely before his plane hit the ground close to a junction on Buckingham Palace Road. Holmes was hailed as a war hero, and the man who saved Buckingham Palace and the King from the German bomber.

From here, the excavation of the hurricane was shown live on Channel 5 (uk).
