S77th-GOYA Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Cripes! I'm not a real pilot, so I have no idea if the modelling is accurate or not. It's gonna take some practice. I've only managed to land it without any flat tires or damaged undercarriage twice in about twenty tries. Do real planes really skid around on the runway like that? It seems that anything that heavy would stick to the ground a little better. I'm not bitchin', I enjoy the challenge. Any real pilots have any comments about the 25?

The Su-25 is not an easy-to-land plane. Many cadets found themselves out of runway while taking off or landing. It does skid if you steer the nose wheel not accurate. It was tested by real Su-25 pilots. They considered it authentic. If you have the 1.1 Manual please read Flight School carefully. There is a lot of info how to fly it especially how to takeoff and land it. Just in case: the final approach 310-290 kph down to 260-280 at the end vertical speed 3-5 m/s start flaring at 100 m before threshold at 5-7 m altitude and 250-270 IAS Throttle at idle after the threshold Touch the horisont with the tips of Pitot tubes while your speed are bleeding. After the main wheels are on the ground pull the stick slightly to get down the nosewheel/ Release the chute. Steer VERY gently but don't let the plane leave the centerline. Apply the wheelbrake while keeping steering. Enjoy.

olaleier Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Now try with some crosswind and turbulence. :D http://ola.mynuts.org/Su-25Demo2.mis Remove the "2" from the filename, make a backup of \Lock On 1.1 Demo\Missions\Quick Start\Su-25Demo.mis then replace it.

Jetfire Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 hmm... didn't seem that hard to land. I even landed it once ( out of 5 times ) on grass off the runway. Good fun ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4с САВО СРПСКИ Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 well, now it's seriously challenging. love the feeling, but sure I will neeed to practice some more till I land that bird correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamo Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 The Su-25 is very nice to land. If done properly you don't even need the brakes on landing. Touchdown on speed and on the threshold, pop your chute and you will need to add power to taxi off the runway, no brakes required! Touchdown too fast and too far down the runway and you will go off the end. Slamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabalah Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hey guys, As I saw in Demo 1.1 key-controls panel default chute key is P - but still chute wont open at any speed when I touch the runaway. Am i missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S77th-GOYA Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 =4с= САВО СРПСКИ You should remove your sig. Check the sticky. Kabalah, the P key works fine for me, but it can't be repacked if you've already used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fun ;) Hey man, I think I remember you saying in another thread that you were unable to play LOMAC 1.1 because of no 800x600 res support. What was your solution? Just when you thought it was safe to go back over the water... Flight Lieutenant "Jaws" 169th Panthers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fun ;) Hey man, I think I remember you saying in another thread that you were unable to play LOMAC 1.1 because of no 800x600 res support. What was your solution? easy work around is to go into the 1.1 demo cfg graphic file and change the lines to 800x600, it works....... https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.

SUBS17 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 So then I take it that virtual iglasses with tract ir would work then(800x600). Any of you guys use that? I'm tempted to get some but might wait for higher res versions. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
