I'm pleased to announce that my app has been approved and is now available for free download on the apple iTunes app store. Just search for iWarthog in the store. It is simply a companion to DCS A-10 that features: -Interactive checklist from the DCS flight manual -Emergency procedures from the DCS flight manual -Comprehensive Mission Data Card that allows users to create/edit/delete information for separate missions -Zoomable Airbase PDF diagrams -And a reproduction of the UI "Encyclopedia" (with all aircraft metric information converted to US measurements for us that are behind the curve in the states! ;) ) I hope the community finds some use for it and it helps in some way to improve your simming experience. Also would like to thank ED for letting me use their info in my app, as well as Shu77 for his airport diagrams, and WarriorX for his mission card ideas. This is my first "released" iPhone app, so I'm open to all kinds of feedback. If there's something you think I should add/delete/modify, please let me know and I'll see if I can make the changes for future updates. Also, if there is enough demand, I'll port it over to the iPad and make it even better for the larger screen interface. One last note. I have dedicated a lot of my time and effort into this app and released it for free. If you like it and want to donate a small something, here's my support page with a pay paypal link: http://dcsa-10iphoneapp.blogspot.com/2011/06/iphone-app-is-alive-on-itunes-store.html Thanks everyone and enjoy! -sickdog

That list is still good, but there are a few changes * AIM-120's are a lot better now, same as R-77's. You can't just fire from 40nm break lock at a few seconds and expect it to hit. Now you need to keep lock (as long as you can) for a better chance to hit from far away. * ER's are very fast compared to 120's and 77's, about 1000kts faster (top speed) So they will reach the target faster if you are fighting a active missile carrying bandit. The bad thing is if you are fighting an F-15, he still has TWS and you don't know when he fired. * The 33 is still very good, just try not to get into a turn fight, same goes for the Mig-29. Although I have gotten into some very good turn fights with 29's and 33's online. But you really have to be good, have more speed then the bandit and be at a slight advantage to start with. All depending on what fighter you are fighting. * The 29 is still the same except now you can carry 4xR-77's by default now. * Also the ET's have been fixed to where you can fire them 15-20 miles head on and expect them to hit like FC1.12, You have to have a valid lock and fire solution

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone! If this positive reaction continues, I'll start work soon on the iPad version. I already have a couple things I'll work on for the next update for this version: 1)Most updated airbase charts (I think the ones I used are at least one version old) 2)LAT LON coordinate inputs.... I'm so used to in real life using Degrees/Min/Seconds that I didn't realize that DCS uses Degrees/Min/fraction of minutes. I'll change that around for better input. 3)Update the DCS checklist (patch 1.1.0.8 came out just after I submitted the app to Apple) 4)If enough people are interested and I get permission to use them, I could incorporate different versions of Normal Checklists. Or, I could make an option to create your own checklist within the app. 5)I'd like to continue exploring the possibility of importing mission briefing info into the app without the user having to enter everything manually. (And on that note, for anyone who wants to "copy and paste" long mission descriptions into the app to avoid typing it themselves, this is what I suggest: Highlight and copy the text from within DCS A-10, alt-tab out, paste text into an email to yourself, open email on iOS device, select the text and "copy", open up or multitask into iWarthog, and finally, tap in any textfield/textview and select "paste") Thanks again everyone for the nice comments!

When lookin for the best loadout for Su-33 I've been reading about weapons and turn rates in an old thread from the LOMAC time :happy: There folks seams to conclude that the Su-27 is the best of the Russian aircrafts and that Su-33 and MigG-29S comes on second and third place. Is that the same still in FC2? Have the missile capabilities changed for these aircrafts from LOMAC 1.1.2B to FC2? Or the flight dynamics? Here are the concluding post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=485326&postcount=113 Is your list the same for online play? Is the Su-33 just used in SP missions? (HJ)

..with skinpacks 7 and fieldmods.. and new careermode etc etc.

Of course Ali, different personal preferences that's all. I push for DCS:Fighter over spending time on a survey sim because that is my own taste. Different strokes for different folks.

It's all 3D but the 'fall off' effect (as it is in real life) drops away really quick and you can't really distinguish relative distances anymore. Things are just 'near' or 'far'. You do still get an impressively enhanced sense of elevation, which certainly helps judge landings and altitude-impacting manouvres a lot more (or landing ka-50's on the back of boats I find it helpful too). It would be possible to capture some footage and post it somewhere like youtube (I have some captured in fraps already), for those who have 3D tv's that can see such but aren't able to play games due to lack of 3d vision kit/monitor - if interested. Otherwise the free-viewing (cross-eye or parallel) will help show off the cockpit stuff (which can also be seen in video format, not just screenshot), but the sense of elevation would be too muted and lost under such resolution reductions.

Возможно и частный случай, но очень частый у меня ) Хотя... в треке можно увидеть некоторые успехи уберов. Например, взлет без заправки и долгие полеты на форсаже впоследствии. Или бой против нескольких противников в разных эшелонах и на разных направлениях с точным выходом на цели. Сверхвидение через препятствия... А вот с маневрированием все сложнее. Но... администрации виднее что считать доказательствами. Сервер принадлежит им, а демократии никто не обещал. Да и не нужна она тут, ИМХО.

Okay, I found out that the stick texture is loaded from file "A-10C_elements_01.dds" in archive "DCS A-10C\Bazar\A-10C\Model\Textures\A_10C_C_EDM_TEX.zip". I managed to convert it to tga, repaint that stick part of that texture file to black and convert it back to dds and copy it into the game. But the stick is then just black. Any ideas how to make that texture transparent ? I thought it would take black as transparent but it doesnt. But still, making that texture transparent seems to me as the easiest way to get rid of the stick. Any ideas anyone ? I will upload the file if i manage to make it work so anyone who wants can use it.

:thumbup: Not so. Come on TS and be 'silent' if that is your preference. You will be able to hear what is going on and as you have said further in your post, a simple 'Roger' 'Copy' or 'understood' would suffice. Try writing in notepad a brief introduction and pasting it as soon as you arrive in the relevant TS channel. "Hi, my name is Poko24. Pretty shy person and speaking with strangers over TS stresses me a little. Please dont be offended if i dont contribute toward conversation or the Mission acknowledgements" Say that on the 74th Server and we would instantly respect that. Infact, we would say, "This pilot's got his S*** squared away!" Never say never! I'd also like to add that one of my own pilots in our vfs, was a fairly timid and shy man who barely said a word. Just 'being' around those that speak fairly easily with one another can psycologically break down some barriers and before you know it you are conversing without feeling the pressure to do so. With the right people around you, being on TS can have a huge impact on your confidence in real life. We can't shut him up now! :smilewink: Regards 'T'

Ok this one is for those who don't believe the extreme and dangerous low pass of that Argentinean AT-63 Pampa on my previous post. I´ve found the video of the cockpit camera. Enjoy!!! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cc5_1307433924 Regards!!

I voted other! I only close my server/hostmachine if: 1. ther is a mission which needs to be played with a huge amount of koordination -> and this u wont get with just the chatoption. 2.Further more it is a "join in progress thing" ... if u make up a plan "how-to" do a mission , i like the folks to be there from start to end .... kind of a "immersiveness-thing" Schnarre P.s.: I never close my server for the circumstance of "idiots come in and kill the mission "(by killing the tanker for instance) ... My experience is that there are lots of people who dont know how to "act as an adult simmer", BUT if u talk direct to them i always found a huge amount of understanding and the will to do it better ... I have a huge amount of patience for the new ones ;-).... and almost everyone gets a second chance to show his worth(be an enrichement for other players) !

Yep, 'just' the cockpit and FM ... such easy things :)

Oh wait, it's 2-conductor; I didn't see that. And maybe extra heavy insulation. 22 ga should be a OK. No smaller than 24. Looks like it's solid wire so that's a good thing for connections on the same panel. You *could* daisy chain the grounds but with Leo's board having a ground per input, I'd be tempted to do it just the way you did it. Cheers, Colin

At about 0:34-35 I can see a second launch.

I like to hide my stick as much as I can but I'm not lucky just lately, being married doesn't help either. Good luck to you and Carpe Diem!

Значит всетаки решили нахаляву учебничек из тебя сделать=) Кто не раскроет своих фирменных приемов-всех в бан и читером заклеймить...жесть))

Well, all is good. I got it installed. I figured out through the process that the system wasn't recognising the joystick, but knew something was there... so I re-opened it up, looked over the wires, and inside the center post, I found that the red wire was crimped a little. After splicing it, resetting it, putting the stick back together and replugging it in, the software recognised the joystick and installed everything. What a pain! Now I just need to replace my pots and get the holders to hold them right, and I should be good to go. Cali, if you're still having problems, take the stick off the base, and you'll see a little connector with 2 screws. Take off the screws, lift out the connector and check the wires. That might have been your issue.

Да я то понял. :) Просто исходил из вот этого: http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/kuznetsov/62149/сфабриковать, хотя у этого слова много значений, на ум пришло это, сорри за офтоп.

"какие вкусные закрылки, подумал халк, и спрыгнул с крыла":D А в результате чего возникли такие повреждения??? Если взрыв ракеты, то повреждения должны быть в неком секторе. З.Ы. привет землякам:joystick:

Zerol, ты бы в этой ветке воздержался от указаний, что можно трогать а что нет ;) А то у вас (альфа) лихо получаться - "сервер плохой, мы там не летаем и другим не советуем" при этом не смотря на бан пищите но лезете, меня ники как перчатки "по настроению", а так же ID игры (это ж сколько нужно иметь "оригинальных дисков" ? Вопрос к ЕД ...) :) В правилах сервера РАФ прописано однозначно, и не нужно их пытаться толковать по своему усмотрению, а просто выполнять и проблем не будет. На сервере ежедневно летают десятки человек и проблем не возникает, а если у кого то затребовали трек, не нужно по этому поводу истереть - играешь честно, чего бояться ? BJ не надо сообществу рассказывать порядок востребования треков принятый на РАФ, который сложился в твоем воспаленном мозге. У вас на сервере можете собирать комиссию и тд по твоему тексту, для того что бы потребовать/не потребовать трек или еще что там еще вам в голову придет. В РАФ такого решения ни когда не было и не будет (может нам коллегиально 24 часа в сутки сидеть на сервере, чтобы такие решения принимать ? :) ). Решение было следующее, коли тебя память подводит, трек при подозрении требуется и рассматривается администратором единолично, а вот в случае, если при его просмотре возникли аргументированные подозрения на использование читов, подключаеться комиссия из трех офицеров РАФ, после чего принимается окончательное решение, выдвигается обвинение и следует наказание. В противном случае, трек дальше администратора, его затребовавшего, не уходит И не надо тут фантазировать, что кто то кого то может чему то научить. Думаю, большинство пилотов прекрасно понимает, что в РАФ не самые плохие пилоты, а ваши навыки по использованию читов, коими вы так гордитесь, нам не интересны. Надеюсь, доходчиво объяснил и вопрос как и в каком порядке РАФ имеет право востребовать трек исчерпан? И давайте договоримся, что сторонние пилоты не будут нам указывать как организовывать борьбу с читерами на нашем сервере. Действуем в этом направлении используя доступные нам ресурсы и возможности. Кому нравиться летать честно с такими же порядочными пилотами, будут летать на нашем сервере с удовольствием, не боясь предоставить трек. Для кого это проблемно по тем или иным причинам - есть масса других серверов, ни кто не неволит.

Никто никого не поливал. Все претензии к серверу, а конкретно к админам. Нет бы ввести нормальные, довно существующие правила - банить только по факту трёх компроментирующих треков. И делов то. А то построили беспредельщину и рады.

Thanks for the rplies Thanks for the help.Yes I know how a HUD operates as I am an aviation electrician on atack helos in the ARMY, but with track IR5 the hud is displaying way out in front of the aircraft not on the HUD repeater. Maybe I should have explained my problem in more depth. Ray

I had this problem too. It was because I patched my DCS install since full 1.0.0.6. Now you have to go for full 1.0.0.8 installation or patch 1.0.0.8 on full 1.0.0.7 installation. I hope it's clear.

Русский мой не родной язык. И проверка грамотности отключена была на мобильном. Муха меня забанел хотя я ему трек отправил по тому адресу который он назвал. Пусть напишет за что забанел. 2 Jazz Муха наверно хотел поучиться чуть чуть. Он обидился, что я его 2 раза сбил и ушел живой на посадку и хорошо сел без аварийно.

Interested! (<- the very much on-topic part of the post! :) ) And (partial)OT: We (vJaBoG32) do NOT want to offerany Newbie-Training. We just don't have the man-power to operate our squadron and its training plus designing missions and moderating open Newbie-Trainings. BUT: We'd be willing to offer our server to run missions on it, open to the public.

I guess I'll find out tomorrow night when I get back from vacation, but did everything appear to work? In particular, 1) Did you ever see enemy artillery firing? 2) Did any of the enemy armor columns get stuck? I ask 1) because of the problems Bahger is reporting, and I ask 2) because that's still a somewhat rare issue that I may have rectified but possibly not. You can also get enemy armor stuck if you bomb them in the right areas, though that may be a valid strategy rather than a bug. Also, some issues have been reported with SEAD aircraft in this latest patch. Did you: 3) Get any "Kill SA-15" tasks 4) Other than the 2S6 escorting the SA-11 group, did you see any live 2S6s after about 1 hour into the mission? I ask 3) because you should NEVER get any "Kill SA-15" tasks unless there is some highly unusual or buggy behavior by the F-16 SEAD packages, and I ask 4) because after the first wave of enemy MiGs, another wave of F-16s arrive that are supposed to all but eliminate the enemy SAM threat over the battle area. Anyway, I'll find out what the behavior is for this mission in 1.1.0.8 tomorrow when I finally get home from vacation, but if you can provide any kind of feedback on this, it will add an extra data point to my sample, so to speak. Certainly good job on the mission, you got the highest second highest possible victory, quite impressive.

Martyr, тебе правильно написали -- не хватает видео памяти для текстур на макс. Постоянно происходит пересылка текстур из буфера в ОЗУ --> в видеопамять, а так как у тебя, похоже, ещё и AGP-видеокарта, даже не PCI Express 1.0, отсюда и микрофризы. Нужно поменять видеокарту. Под текстуры на макс нужно 512 Мб видеопамяти минимум. ЗЫ. У меня 9600 GSO 384 Мб, и тоже с текстурами на макс бывает слегка фризит. Смотрел загрузку видеопамяти -- её явно не хватает.
