This might help!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25MgpCEe114 I myself haven't really learned how to master mark-cycling and controlling yet... but the video shows how to do it for one anyhow. A clip focusing on markpoints and the laser.

Happens to me too, not always, but sometimes. On take-off though, never managed toi come back ^^ Luckily I always seem to have enough speed to take-off

+1 and also, missile evasion and how to handle it like VincentLaw put it.

Let's not whine! At least we get our questions answered and news regularly... Not like, say... Fighter-Ops ^^

Yeah I can pretty much navigate through the CDU. The training missions along with the manual helped very much. The start-up though seems to have it's flaws, like this here example. You never press the LSK NAV in that one :( Now when I finally got fly and spent an hour getting to the target, the game crashed! \o/

Thanks guys! That worked excellent! :) I read some stuff in other threads but I always pressed the physical NAV button... -.-

I never seem to succeed in getting my nav data when I start the aircraft. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm waiting for the INS NAV READY to flash, then I hit "Load All" on OSB10 but it comes back empty. I've followed a start-up guide some user here has made but still nothing. I succeeded one time when I pressed every other button on the CDU but I can't do that all the time can I? :D I've uploaded a track of my last attempt if anyone has the time to watch it. wheresmynavdata.trk

Didn't seem to work yesterday when I fast-switched, but when I did it manually now it did :) Thanks! Haven't bought A-10C yet, this joystick cost me all I had so have to wait a while...

Got mine from amazon.co.uk yesterday! Shipped the 26th I think and was estimated to arrive the 22nd Nov. Mighty happy! Though the software doesn't work...

Serial #: 00917 Location: Sweden (ordered from amazon.co.uk though).

TM Warthog

HOTAS and go with Freetrack until you can get TrackIR http://www.free-track.net/english/

Haha didn't mean to godify it :) I just meant that it's a replica, mostly made of steel and has a new "generation" of hardware and software features. There's nothing else like it, on the paper anyway. Sure Saitek have the force-sensing, but other than that it's pretty much an ordinary joystick. Mower: I didn't really want to respond to anything you just said, but see this as constructive criticism. Making comments of how something is bad without any kind of argument is as good as no comment at all.

I'm pretty sure those drops were because of more factors than the usual ones. They competed with each other aswell as the Warthog which many back then thought was due soon. Not to mention that they had/still have certain flaws (really bad software and x-, y-, z-bleed respectively) that scared people off. :smartass: The Warthog on the other hand is in a league of it's own and kind of has its own customer base aswell as sharing the customer base with the aforementioned joysticks. :book: Edit: Ah, Feurefalke beat me to it

Joysticks aren't in the "price-drops-over-time"-category unlike graphic cards or cars which "age" much much much faster.

Awww I would have pre-purchased... But I want the nice n' cozy box :) ...and I still have no legitimate joystick. But soon... soooooooooon...

I chose by credit card from Amazon. They haven't drawn any money, I guess they do when they start handling my order since they have a "price-guarantee". If the price drops until release, they drop it on my order aswell.

Pre-order made!

Awwwwww been joystick-less (almost) for a year now! Release it already... :cry: It so crappy to fly with a Logitech Extreme 3D pro and the X-52 throttle that I haven't flown anything since spring...

Probably because most people have it on their desk just like a side-stick :P Adding some kind of "twisted"-option would surely be too expensive in terms of public demand - most, I'm certain, are perfectly fine with a fixed stick :)

Nice!

For €400 this is a bargain. It's in a league of it's own. Wallet still cries though :smartass:
