You have no idea what you are talking about... You start the sentence with 'fit the radar from an F15 onto a 747' and then expect to be taken seriously? Sensor suite or radar is part of an avionics package..
As mentioned previously, it's all a bit silly since we are talking about pretend space ships. Still, whatever systems installed needs to be integrated into the entire ship, with a massive ship like the Anaconda, I'm not surprised that a system like that weighs so much.
Avionics is a generic term for all electronics to do with flight instruments and systems including radar. We are discussing radar specifically, not avionics. For someone pretending to be a real life pilot you have not rehearsed the part very well.
So you quote my post explaining that it is part of the avionics package, and then try to call me out on it? Please try harder, in fact don't bother, you'll end up straining yourself. Am still laughing at that ridiculous first post of yours..
Edit - the fact that you used the term 'real life pilot' suggests you play FSX in your spare timeI'll leave it at that
Funny that he should say that, because they're solely responsible for that misinformation floating about.The sensors definitely DO NOT affect gimballed or turreted weapons in any way. I don't have a link to the post from the dev but he said that he wished that mis-information would just disappear. If I find the link, I'll edit my post and include it!
Since you have forgotten that you said the avionics on an airliner weighed five tons and equated that to the game, I pointed out that sensors are not going to be the entire five tons. This confused you as you are a lay person with little experience of aviation or indeed avionics. However as you claim to be a 777 pilot you needed to respond to this attack on your ego. So you jump in with both feet and mash the reply in with all sorts of rubbish and throw it back at me. As I have pointed out that the sensor suite of a fighter would not increase in mass if fitted to a larger airframe, which is a true statement, your response is simple incredulity stemming from ignorance of the subject, yet you persist in just making noises instead of giving a technical response to support your point. If there were a technical response you could give to validate your point we would have heard it by now. As we both know there is no such response you can give, as none exist.
Kyle, you are acting like a fool.. But I'll play along.. But first lets get something out of the way... I work for an Aerospace contractor in Bahrain, primarily on performance data related to the A320-214, I am also contracted as a technical advisor to a software developer in Los Angeles ( FMGS/CBT) developer for airlines on the A320-214 up to the Neo.
Not once have I said I am a 777 F/O or Captain, frankly the pay would be nowhere near good enough for me.. So You are talking out of your rear... I challenge you to find one post of mine that says I fly 777's, any member that has asked about my forum name knows the story behind it..My old man was a retired 777 skipper, my family (fondly) called him bus driver when he was on the 330/340 that switched to 777 driver.
My indulgence in Flying is purely from having a healthy pay packet, and summers at Biggin hill
I'll say it one last time, fitting the sensor suite of a fighter jet to any commercial aircraft is a ridiculous statement, it is the Integration of a system that will add additional weight. Anyway you are talking nonsense so I won't humour you any further.
now please, crawl back under that bridge of yours...
So 777driver, what on earth gave the impression you are a 777 pilot? You know 777driver, I can't quite put my finger on it, 777driver.
