"fudog50" wrote in message ... For cryin out loud! Did everyone read the last 15 posts by Tarver, Chad and R. David about software and programming? LOL, I'm sure it means a lot to them but it gives perfect credence to my philosophy that all engineers should be locked up in a rubber room at night! Too Funny!! Hey guys! When you get that software and programming crap worked out,,, let me know so I can go fly the jet ok??? Holy cow! Perhaps never. The days of turning off the autopilot and flying the airplane yourself are long gone. The software is always there.

In article , "Tarver Engineering" wrote: The F-35 has a chance of being more successful than the F-22 based solely on it being post '96 Ada Ada-95. Like a lot of the F-22 software, which got recoded because it was easier to support. Which is why a good part of the F-35 software is based on the F-22 software... Was to be, but tabbing to the F-22 would be foolish now. |

In article , "Tarver Engineering" wrote: The Ada-95 release does not cause older software to be made good. But the newer compilers and other software tools they've developed *can*. Perhaps, but i have yet to see a compiler upgrade work without altering the sofware. That's true, but the folks who have been working with the Ada-95 tools noticed that it's easier to alter the software to run under Ada-95 than it is to keep using the older Ada. Cheaper to maintain, faster to develop. As in the old software doesn't work. No, as in "the old software worked, but they improved it and brought it up to Ada-95 to make it easier to work with." The low competence of Lockmart's avionics group is why they sold it to BAE Systems. Nope. Yes, Simmons and all of Lockmart's avionics group are now part of BAE Systems. If you are this far outside what is real, why are you posting to this thread, Irby? Is it to "help" Lockmart? If that is the case I am certain Lockmart would perfer you to shut up. |

Good lord, ADA is like PL1. | |The Ada-95 release does not cause older software to be made good. I am not even aware of an university that teaches ADA. I remember when ADA was first talked about. It was joked about as the new and improved PL1. It is. Lockheed went for the DARPA subsidy for Ada, it was part of their cooperative attitude that won the fly off. You have to consider that Lockheed won the contract to build the YF-22 with an airframe design that would not even fly. The YF-22 that was built is for the most part the GD entry. Next, Lockheed built their main computer based on an i960 based MPP. Intel's attempt to build the i432, an i860 based MPP, nearly bankrupted Intel. Later, lockmart dumped their Avionics division to BAE systems, due to "competitiveness" issues. Can't C++ do as well? No, but C has. |

Having flown both, they are not even close to being the same aircraft. The
35 is already light years ahead of the 22. My X/F35 experience was one of my most memorable test programs I have been involved in. Stepping out of the Sims and into the aircraft, you found you could push the 35 well past what the Sims prepared you for. That was a first in my career. You've flown both?!? (how many folks can say that!) I'd be curious to hear more about that if possible. What position did/do you hold (civil or military)? Any (non-classified) details/experiences you can share with us about flying either jet? Thanks, Tony |

Note, for example, that the core processing units of the F-35 are *still* being made by Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, which is *still* part of the LockMart organization as of this particular day. You seem to not know about "Maritime Systems and Sensors," which is still a *large* LockMart subsidiary (part of the Electronic Systems business unit.

I hear ya, but they expect the new explosive wad will make up the
differance, combined with penetration, speed and accuracy. The problem is that the weapon is being driven by bay size rather than performance so who knows if they are really just blowing smoke to have SOMETHING that works in the small bays, of if it really is/will be better. "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... "Boomer" wrote in message ... The SDB will have an autopilot which will allow it to reach the target with more kinetic energy than a standard JDAM flight profile. Combine that with a new explosive package and they SAY it will have the same effectiveness as a 2000lb bomb. The ER (or is it EX) version will have a potential range of 60 miles. I rather doubt that the KE fraction will be high enough to offset more than 1000lbs of HE Keith ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

Spoon feeding Lockheed a fighter program has been a major driving force for the USAF for many years. |

He has earned the right to be considered credible when speaking ex cathedra.
Can you spell Bascombe Down TPS? You are arguing with the real deal. Not wise. "Andrew C. Toppan" wrote in message ...
