One of the most confusing part of the this great sim for the starters is to interact with JTAC properly and one of the most important part of this interaction is to know where your targets are located exactly so that you dont mess around with your TGP searching targets. Here is an easy way for the people who dont want to deal with CDU, OFFSET or WP pages and enter a new waypoint, switch to mission, enter UTM...etc. You can use your TAD. 1- After contacting with JTAC and receive the 9-LINE information, he will instruct you to "further talk on" 2- You will simply continue to talk and say "ready to copy" 3- He will instruct you further for weapon and threat type 4- You have to insist on talking :) and repeat the information. You readback. Like in RL and civil aviation. 5- After Readback, he will say "readback correct" and "ready for data" 6- Make your TAD SOI. If you notice, you will get a new MSG in your MFCDs. You press ACK key on TAD OSB and PRESS WILCO OSB if you want to do this job. 7- You will also notice a small red triangle in your TAD screen. (Zoom-in or out with DMS up/down to locate) If this red triangle is over/close to one of your SPI or Steerpoints you can slew your cursor on TAD screen to the location near this red triangle and press china hat FWD two times to get into EXP 2 max zoom mode to separate this triangle from other marks. 8- Then with your cursor, move over to the triangle and "Hook" it with "TMS UP SHORT". Now a yellow line is coming from your plane and directing the red triangle. Now comes the easy part. Press OSB 17 where it says a number and a question mark. i.e 8? or whatever your currently assigned max waypoints. This will make the red triangle a new waypoint. Which is your target. 9- Then from the AAP panel switch from "flight plan" to "mission" 10- Using UFC rocker key, move up to this newly created waypoint ( in our example its waypoint 8 ) and press china hat long while your TGP is your active SOI. Now with your TGP you are looking in the exact location JTAC instructed you to attack. The above method may sound mouthful but believe me its easy. Only 10 seconds after READBACK. To summarise: ---SLEW, locate the red triangle, TMS UP to hook and press OSB 17 for new waypoint--- No more CDU messing. You can alternatively check your message screen and get your heading and range infromation from a particular waypoint and use OFFSET page to enter these data. But you have to use CDU :) But....we do all these with CDU :) and take our notes to 9LINE info cards This is just an alternate way.

Ever flown with your perfectly made pit and missed the most important part? well the wait is over. This does have its limitations, your pit needs to be moved to fit the hud you cant move the hud or the mfd's sorry. You can hex edit the file to remove the mfd/hud etc if so needed. First of all i'm assuming you have your pit ready you have a cockpit.skins file made and your just waiting for that final part. 1: Go into your bazar shapes folder and rename for example kabina-f-15.cmd to kabina-f-15-1.cmd (dosent matter what you rename it to) your kabina-f-15.lom stays the same. Open you skins file and make sure these two lines are at the top, you'll notice that the lod is exactly the same and that is a must, your cmd file must also be on top. (what it does is remove all rendered geometry from the top file and displays only the bottom) models { lod = {"Kabina-f-15-1", 1000000}; lod = {"Kabina-f-15", 1000000}; } argument { argument = 180; skin { value = 0.0; material = {"tutorial_gauges", "Standart", "Tutorial_gauges.bmp"}; } skin { value = 1.0; material = {"Tutorial_gauges", "Lighting Standart", "Tutorial_gauges_lm.bmp"}; } } Start Fc2 and enjoy your working hud. this can be done for any pit! Best of luck and remember human knowledge belongs to everyone, support your fellow man and support open source. Trigen

Photos and videos have started to come in from some fans so I'll start this thread and post them up with a description of each. I have requested the photos and videos the organisers took and they should be with me soon. Thursday, arrival and set up day Must be getting close Found it Wow!! This is where we are gong to set up our area, couldn't have picked a better attack helicopter to be next to and man I never new it was so big in real life!! I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of these rocket pods I can tell ya!! Clive from Eventuality had already set his dome screen up for us to use and Simon (event organiser) had leant us his RED1 pit (thanks guys). After about 4 hours of unpacking the car and getting it all set up, we're good to start testing the kit. Many thanks to John for all of his technical help. The Thrustmaster T-shirts and donated Warthog have arrived, many thanks to Emma and Eric for these. We're having major problems getting the dome Sol7 software to work on Windows7 and Vista and await a reply from Australia. A very sunny day outside as the sun sets over Weston-Super-Mare

как всегда спросишь про что то одно а тему переводят совсем в другое) ну всеравно интересно почитать)

IMO the best reason for both is to spur competition. DirectX may not be where it is today had Carmack not shown what the competition was capable of. Then DX set the pace and it's GL that picked up its heels to keep up and keep itself noticed. The more they do this, the better for us, and that's the bottomline for consumers :)

The eclipse was a rare opportunity for servicemembers here to witness this rare event. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Chad Warren)

Jesus is coming.. look busy :D

the best part of this sim and A-10C is that you can do the same task with different approaches unlike any other sim.

I see Blaze has edited his post here so i'll go ahead and be a little nicer All is forgiven, and thanks for giving out the pit arguments, i'm sure many will appreciate those.

Not real familiar but as I understand it, TACVIEW runs in the background while you are flying a mission and that is where it gets its data. When you set it up it adds an export function into the sim, similar to what Helios does to get live data as it happens. That is most of what I know about it!:cry:

Ok WTF, just show us the jets. :doh:

Thanks for your comments, guys! Appreciate it!

I uploaded a special version for you - with darker gray (increased intensity from 40 to 60%). Please try and see if this is OK.

I thought I should post my experience with the Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals here. I would assume that this is not a common problem, but it could save you alot of frustration if it happens to you. I had only read good reviews of the Combat Pedals and expectations were sky high when I got them - but I soon was a bit dissappointed. The pedals were very precise, but they didn't move smoothly. I did some search but couldn't find anyone with similar problems - so I assumed I had gotten a faulty set of pedals. I contacted Saiteks scandinavian support, I they didn't have any experience with what I described, so I asked if I could open them up and see if I could find out what was wrong before I returned them. So I got a go on that - and I am glad I did :thumbup: I couldnt find anything wrong at first. Even swapped the wheels on the "carriages" from one side to the other without any difference. But then I suddenly noticed this in the middle of the upper rail A closer look And here it is removed It is a metal fragment - probably from the production. Couldn't find anything that had a tiny piece chopped off. It is very small. Less than 1 mm i diameter and probably 2-3 mm long. But that was enough to cause some major annoyment for me. So now I am a very happy Saitek owner and I would like to give a big thank you to bumfire for trying to help me out.

Not sure if it's available for ships, but there is a moving trigger zone that you can attach to a units. If it's available for ground/ships (i've only used it on aircraft) you can slap one of those on and then use Smoke Marker in trigger zone.
