An Interview with Joel Bierling, Executive Producer, Lead Pursuit LLC by Chris “BeachAV8R” Frishmuth and Tom “20mm” Hayden In a few short weeks we will see the next chapter in theFalcon 4 story reach retail store shelves. Falcon 4 was originally presented by Microprose as the “New Benchmark in Flight Sim Technology”, and Falcon 4: Allied Forcelooks to provide […]
Back To Page 7 This is pretty neat. The actual Su-25T would feature the integrated Irtysh countermeasures system. It would have an internal jammer rather than the MPS-410, and SPO-32 Pastel radar warning system to back up the SPO-15 and point to threats. But those systems are highly classified and Eagle couldn’t find any […]
Back To Page 5 The Su-25T’s Sunrise WCS includes a head-up display similar to the Su-27 or MiG, and it’s a welcome change for me. It makes the T model a lot easier to control. The Sunrise system also includes the SAU-8 multirole autopilot, and you will want to use that a lot. Employing […]
Back To Page 6 But REAL pilots love smart weapons. And here is where the Shkval shines. You now have the 9M120 missile system, in an eight-round APU-8 launcher, to hang on your wings for a total of sixteen of the deadliest antitank missile out there: the 9A4172 Vikhr, known to the West as […]
Back To Page 4 I’m going to spend the rest of my time in this review discussing the Su-25T and its SUV-25T weapons system. I’ll point out where it’s the same in the earlier Su-25. Something to note is the detail that Eagle brought to these models. The close-up of the Su-25T’s nose shows […]
Back To Page 3 Both the Su-25 and Su-25T have several dedicated training missions, just like all the other aircraft in game. All the screenshots I have taken for this article came from them, and trust me; to be successful you need to watch them. The Su-25T also has its own Quick-Start mission, accessible […]
Back To Page 2 The Su-25 / 25T Flaming Cliffs is really a $35.00 throwback to a simpler time in simming, when games studied one airplane, just one, and simulated it closely. And it is only fitting, really, that this most Russian company wanted to look at that most quintessentially simple, and so very […]
Back To Page 1 Installation StarForce aside, once you get it FC is a breeze to install. I was one of those who took the Paypal plunge and downloaded in the first week. You downloaded the add-on in three packages. First is the add-on itself, then a new package of scenery, and finally, several […]
by Cat Igor Tishin is not one to rest on his laurels. Since Eagle Dynamics’ original flight sim, Flanker, burst onto the simming scene in 1995, Tishin and his experienced development team have continued to refine and improve their product, and in its current iteration, Lock On: Modern Air Combat, it just keeps getting better. Even […]
by Chris “BeachAV8R” Frishmuth Everett or Toulouse? So is it going to be Tatter Tots or French Fries? Apple pie or croissant? The Met or The Louvre? Ah, if it were only that easy! Panels The A310/A320 panels are laid out in a very attractive manner. Let’s face it, the French know beauty (can you […]
Back To Page 4 Design Philosophy On the topic of design philosophy there are many opinions, rumors and facts surrounding the debate between Airbus and Boeing. Sure, you run an aircraft into the trees at the end of a runway one time on video and you are stereotyped forever as an airplane that doesn’t […]
Back To Page 3 Virtual Cockpit On the topic of virtual cockpits, the other three aircraft nudged out PSS A320 by a very small margin. The other three aircraft have some of the nicest VCs I’ve ever seen while the PSS A320 appeared to be a bit low on polygons and the textures for […]
