Just got this last week and I love it! Such a simple solution to a complicated problem. Nothing like actually reaching for the gear or hook handles... and all the other switches or knobs that are too tedious to map/memorize for each module. I saw a video on a GUI interface he was working on. But the firmware page on the website says it's for V1 only "do not use for V2" Does anyone have it or know the status? PS I had to recalibrate for Xplane, but sort of got it to work. But the resolution is not as fine as in DCS for some reason. Can't get it to work yet in MSFS. Anyone had any luck with that?

I just applied this mod and it seems to give me a minimum of 5 More FPS in all Maps. No discernable change to image quality though.

Any chance of a mod (maybe there is one?...) that allows the cockpit kneeboard to be clicked to open, then change pages by clicking on the left or right part of the page? This would eliminate binding keys to open the kneeboard and for advancing pages. Would be excellent to maintain immersion.

Hi There, I had a groundschool and flew a civilian L-39 a couple of years ago. (Only 2 flights, unfortunately). There are a few items of interest in that area of the nose. The warning placard and flag under the nose should be for the ejection seat contactor box. (Seat interlock). On military versions, the RSBN (Russian radio-nav set) and IFF radios are also in the nose along with their antennae. Which may account for the radioactivity symbol. There is also an air pressure gauge on the nose for either O2 pressure or brake or pressurization accumulator, I can't remember which. There's also a little red and white post that sticks up on the nose in the pilots line of sight as a alternative way to confirm the nose gear is extended. There are similar posts on the wings for the main gear. O And by the way, on the right side of the tail there are 4 colour flare launchers for lost or no-comm signalling. Just like the Ka-50! This is a fantastic airplane! Built very solidly, very forgiving and a joy to fly. Hope that helps!

Hi there, good thread! 1. Several Russian military aircraft have their nose gear equipped with a wheel braking system. This is in keeping with the general cold-war design philosophy of having their aircraft deployable from short/unprepared fields. The Americans did not design similar requirements into their tactical aircraft. (Presumably the A-10s landing speed/distance required, is low enough not to require the additional benefit of nose wheel braking) 2. I think your question is whether contrails are detectable with a commercial onboard weather radar. The short answer is no. The weather radar in commercial aircraft is designed to detect high water content in cloud i.e. rain. It is not very good at detecting ice crystals (which contrails are composed of). It is possible to use weather radar to detect other aircraft though. Although it takes a bit of patience to get the radar tilt angle just right!

I apologize if this question has already been asked...couldn't find it in a search. Will DCS A-10 model airburst fuzing for GP and JDAM weapons? or (not sure if the US airforce uses them), flechette 2.75" rockets? Thanks

...there's definitely anti skid on the Dash-8 Q400 I flew this morning. It's an absolute necessity for my home airport!

I've also noticed this! I've been going a bit batty trying to figure out why...

Hi there. First off. FC2 is amazing! You've all done a great job. Been flying the A-10 lots already and noticed that the Gau-8 only fires AP rounds. Round types can be changed in the aircraft_gun_mounts_.lua (I tried 2A42 HE rounds for fun and it worked). However, is it possible to modify the lua for proper combat mix (5 AP to 1 HE)? It would help alot for the realism and maybe make it a little less distracting when all those tracers careen all over the place. Cheers!
