Heatseeker 0 Posted August 15, 2004 Im doing 3vs3 and 4vs4 against RAD's F18 hornets, the SU27's have the advantage of more power and speed and the Hornets better countermeasures and missiles, great fun though the diference in sound quality does show, the su's models are better imo .

hammen 0 Posted August 16, 2004 This plane was tested by military pilots And they said, that it's more realistic than any other russian plane in OFP P.S.: As addonmaker said "I'm planning to make SU-34 and SU-35" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrub 0 Posted August 16, 2004 Quote[/b] ]hammen Posted on Aug. 15 2004,20:47-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This plane was tested by military pilots  And they said, that it's more realistic than any other russian plane in OFP I was wondering about that!  The plane has a 'floating' feel to it, like it's actually balancing on its aerodynamics and not riding a rail.. probably talking nonsense, just how it feels to me.  A subtle Joystick move slews the plane nicely, very reactive..  If you couldn't tell, I think I like this addon  I truly like the fact that you don't have to ride the throttle full open (for once) during a dogfight.  I actually could let go ot the throttle and the craft would maintain 350-400kts through immelmans, yo-yo's, scissors, whatever..  the only problem I have with it's speed is getting used to approaching (read: hitting) the ground so fast Very nice work guys!

theavonlady 2 Posted August 16, 2004 This plane was tested by military pilots And they said, that it's more realistic than any other russian plane in OFP P.S.: As addonmaker said "I'm planning to make SU-34 and SU-35" All I can say is I'm a total failure when it comes to flight-sims and also to flying planes in OFP. But this jet is the best I've ever handled! I could easily take off and do sharp and low manouvers like I've never been able to do with most other plane addons. I wish you had an English version of the demo mission. Just the text should be in English. The Russian voices are fine. And make more missions, please! I would love to use this addon - not just stare at pics of it on the OFP photo thread. Heetseeker, what was funny in the intro? Must have lost something in the translation. edit: FYI, I used my notebook's stick mouse. No joystick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have lost something in the translation. The music maybe , for some reason i found it funny to see those jets take off and fly at the sound of that music. I cant believe you didnt coment the missing lip sync in the dialogs in missions intro . *starts engine to do some more side rolls and stunts* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted August 17, 2004 It's just too fast, for OFP. Since we have to consider all Flying in OFP as on the deck, low level, any Speed above Mach 1.1 (ca 1350 Km/H) ist not only unrealistic, but also bad for controllability. to accelerate to 1800 Kmh would take a few Minutes in a real Jetfighter....Speeds above Mach 1.1 with full payload would only be possible at heights above 4000 Meters. In the current config, there ist simply no match for this plane....since most addonmakers use 1000km/h as a limit for Jets in OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted August 17, 2004 ^^ No its not, its a good balance with RAD's F-18C's and in air to air combat i always keep betwean 400 to 800 and never go faster than 1000. To push its limits we have to use "E" key for the afterburners and it wastes too much fuel, its just a feature. The best thing about it is manueverability (?) has i have noticed that even at slow speeds of 160 it wont fall like a rock, it is perfect and alot better than BIS thunderbolt and frogfoot who fall of the sky if we dont keep pressing E key, sry but its good to fly something that feels fast and powerfull finally .

jakerod 254 Posted August 18, 2004 Anyone else get the bug where you can land without landing gear down? Was able to land on Everon airfield without putting my landing gear down and the plane kind of sinks into the ground. Found it accidently when landing autopilot failed to put the gear down for me (which is what im used to) then the plane kind of hit the ground and sunk. Also the wings can go through trees... I think maybe all wings can go through the kind of tree it hit i dont know might want to test it out though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
void_false 1 Posted August 19, 2004 Quote[/b] ] Anyone else get the bug where you can land without landing gear down well. i would call it feauture rathar than bug. thats hard landing for planes that everybody wanted to be implemented in ofp2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
havocsquad 0 Posted August 19, 2004 Yes, this flanker looks very promising. Â However, I'm holding out until I do a very complete review of the functions, features, etc. of this aircraft. My complete review will be at my OFP Aircraft Library Resource Site. Â Site is still incomplete in certain areas but is about 90% done. Â I'll let you know when I get the aircraft pics, info, and review uploaded on the site. OFP Aircraft Library Resource Site: Â http://havocsquad.100free.com/ Keep in touch hammen via PM with me, I'm sure me and you will want to talk more closely about this aircraft. Later, Havoc.

jakerod 254 Posted August 19, 2004 Id call it more of a bug than anything else. Mainly just because the plane sinks way below the ground when it does that. Stills kind of cool though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbane 0 Posted August 19, 2004 I´ve been testing it against RADs F-18 and it´s great except for one thing, i can´t target the SU-27 with the F-18s Amraam missiles for some reason. Is this a bug or a problem with the RAD F-18 maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobcatt666 0 Posted August 20, 2004 Naw had one of Vit's Fulcrums do that one on the Tonal map. Managed to put the jet down without exploding but buried the whole nose section into the ground. Even able to open the canopy and climb out, and crawl over the plane. http://www.tacticalblunder.com/~uploads/bobcatt/vitmig-01.jpg http://www.tacticalblunder.com/~uploads/bobcatt/vitmig-02.jpg http://www.tacticalblunder.com/~uploads/bobcatt/vitmig-03.jpg Once outside nothing worked anymore on the plane and then got bum rushed by the enemy forces while I was looking over the plane. Couldn't recreate the situation again without exploding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this a bug or a problem with the RAD F-18 maybe? No probs here, sometimes you may miss because of countermeasures but they work good here, no problems geting a lock on those F18´s .

jakerod 254 Posted August 20, 2004 Ive been able to recreate it several times with these. Once on Tonal and several times on Everon, wanted to see if the ground protected against missiles, and it does, just not very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don´t have a problem with getting a lock on the F-18´s with the SU-27 but as i said i can´t get a lock on the SU-27 with the F-18. It got a little confusing there i guess.. i prolly should have said i tested the RAD F-18 against the Su-27 or something instead.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted August 21, 2004 Well its weird because i can , they are a bit hard to catch but once locked i hit them most of the time, i prefer shooting down F18's though, i like to play bad . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilitiaSniper 0 Posted August 22, 2004 It looks awesome. But I found something I didn't like. I always try out east planes against, "DKM's M109 ADATS." And everytime, either I or AI gets taken out. I find, "Vit's Mig-29's or FootMuncher's Mig's" to open a can of Whoop@$$! They look great. But I dumped them for that one reason.

mr reality 0 Posted August 22, 2004 They look great. But I dumped them for that one reason. I think there Air to Air missiles that there carrying thats why they wont target the M109... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FerretFangs 0 Posted August 22, 2004 Of course you can always go to guns... But I wouldn't expect to hit much, or, make more than one pass. Especially considering that real-life ADAT's are networked and work small groups of four, IIRC. The'd also be protected with low level air defense like Stinger MANPADS, Vulcan, Linebacker, and Avenger FIM-92 systems. You'd be engaged by as many as four missles every ten seconds until you were either dead, out of range, or the ADAt's were out of missiles. The moral of the story, is to keep ypur Flanker way up high, out of the weeds. Use your R-77's and R-73's against Eagles, and Falcons, and get the Hell out of Dodge. And for God's sake, DON'T wander into PAC-3 range, either. Patriot works VERY well, people. Even our own pilots fear it. Lastly, the F/A-22's and F/A-35's will slaughter you. Retire your wings before you face off against them. Let someone dumber/braver than you try to fight those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
