Spent some time messing about today with split throttle antics in the
Su-25. Not a very powerful aircraft, and the Su-27 is much more fun. But
the advanced flight model on the 25/25T is just *so* satisfying it almost
makes up for the lack of power.... and ugliness :-)
Anyway, the (view-edited) track is...
http://www.andrew.mcp.dsl.pipex.com...13th_Part_X.zip
....and if you unzip it & stuff it in the demo's Missions/Tracks/Demo
folder it'll play perfectly without renaming. The only thing missing is
the right skin and the smoke pod model.
As ever with Flanker-engined sims, CTRL A speeds up play (doubles each
time), SHFT A resets it to normal, and if you press any of the view keys
during playback it will interrupt the ones I've edited. Oh, and you might
want to go into options and turn the cockpit warning slider right down
before flying, otherwise the nagging will get on your nerves. For some
reason Nadia seems to think the aircraft's supposed to fly horizontally,
not vertically.
Nothing dies in this trk, but I really can't recommend the advanced flight
modelling highly enough. It's just *so* satisfying to fly once you feel at
home with the heavier aircraft. Worth the price of entry all on its own
for me.
Speaking of which, you may or may not be aware that CDs are starting to
arrive in Europe and the online payment's back up & running for the
download version.
