My Tacview 1.1 doesn't seem to record missions anymore...:(:(:( The option to record DCS A-10C Flights was somehow unchecked after patch 1.1.10 and even after manual re-enabling of the option it didn't record zip... Please, I need feedback to see if this is just my problem or not... :helpsmilie:

Finally, CBU-97 Skeets FTW!!! :gun_smilie:

Just remembered buying like 3 new generations of PC one after another just to get past the A-10 gun hit smoke stuttering in the first Lo-Mac... If that would happen again, then thank you but let's keep the things as they are now... :music_whistling:

Does the mission work fine on 1.1.0.9? Three of us just run through it... The first part is really awesome CAS... We then escorted the convoy towards FOB Vetka, found & eliminated the mortar positions... And then nothing... We flew for like half an hour arround the friendly encampment and nothing happened, no one attacked... So we called it a day and flew back home to Kutaisi for a really interesting and a little hazardous foggy night landing... Once again, great mission!!! Thx deephouse!!! :thumbup: EDIT: Just reviewed the Tacview record, apparently there was this second part of the mortar group north up the river that we somehow missed... I guess this is the reason the mission didn't go onward... It would be nice if friendly units screamed for more help about this north unit if it doesn't get annihilated in some period of time... Damn, we missed them... So much wanted to defend those poor mud-suckerz from a full scale attack... ;) I guess we'll just fly it again real soon...

Wuuhuuuu!!! The GAU-8 really rocks in this video!!! And the earth particles tossed arround on LGB impact... impressive...

Here goes the new / improved table... M.R.K.T. - Mission Record Kill Table I changed the angle of Artillery symbol so AAA kill can slip in that category... also added bridge and structure (building) symbol, for corresponding kills... Various mission records can be placed under differently named table sheets... This is an editable copy, so anyone can play with it... :smartass:

I find the acronyms pretty confusing... they would require one to get used to... Aquisition is actually "Acquisition"... SARH is actually Semi-active radar homing - don't know for autonomous... I suggest: RSR: Radar Search Range = RDR RTR: Radar Tracking Range = TRK TAR: Target Aqusition Range = ACQ (acquisition) MEA: Maximum Engagement Altitude = ALT MER: Maximum Engagement Range = RNG MPL: Missiles Per Launcher = MSL All acronyms checked on http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/ Btw. good work... :thumbup:

I meant "the kill", not the unit type... I don't have a SPAAG symbol category... have I interpreted the other symbols ok? The fifth symbol "SAM" thing could have also been a SCUD in Desert Storm... What would a Tripple A symbol look like?

The Force is strong, with this one... :worthy:

I made this table on Google Docs: Mission Stats Spreadsheet Table ...to keep record of individual pilot kills after reviewing a Tacview mission recording. I traced the symbols in CorelDraw to resemble the ones seen on the nose of a Desert Storm A-10: I added a MIG symbol for air kills as this beauty didn't have one... The thing that bothers me is in what category does a ZSU-23/4 Shilka kill fall in...? I counted it as an APC as I interpreted the symbols from the nose top to bottom like this: 1. Helicopter 2. Tank 3. APC 4. Artillery 5. SAM 6. Radar 7. Vehicle As there is no symbol for mobile or fixed AAA, what do you think? :huh:

Bah... even BF3 has decent canopy scratches... :( Not to mention no none from ED ever explained why were they removed if existed in early releases... Canopy scratches can't be there but the frikkin white boxes on my 6950 sure can... it's sad... That's my weekend nagging routine... sorry everyone... can't help it... :smilewink:

Can anyone in the thread please tell me the name of this "Mig intrusion" mission...? I'll maybe try to set it up for my clan mates... but can't remember which one it was... :) Thx!!! *EDIT* Just reread my first post... operation Samson it is... Can someone give me a link to this mission... if I don't find it myself...? THX!!! *EDIT2* Damn... just found a post on how all the 74th missions are restricted to their servers only... will wait for it to come back in in the mission rotation... :)))

Tried your "atiumdag.dll" suggestion but unfortunately the damn white boxes are still here... :( Here goes a fraps capture: and screenshots are attached... Must be some refelctions of the buildings going haywire... :doh:

Now I know why "Hardcore Terrorists" is called so... LOL Your real life name must be "Roland"... ;))) There was just me & my clan wingman... man what an overkill...

Bah... back to 11.6 it is then... :doh:

Tried this one with a group of 5 BMP3s on the Dragon's weapons training X airfield near the sea... First tried with CCRP (wouldn't let me release) then in the second loop went for CCIP ripple pairs and released all 4 MK-84s... I was coming in at 375kts and started the loop when the CCIP reticle was on target, releasing just past zero distance to waypoint (on HUD) when my angle counter passed 90 degrees... The last MK-84 in the ripple chopped 3 BMPs. Then I thought, let's land on the X and asses the damage... forgetting the two remaining units were hostile and angry for the peculiar deaths of their comrades... What folowed is a dramatic GAU-8 crossfire run on the bastards at 135kts with gear, brakes & flaps out... which I luckily survived... :joystick: So, with time and training one could gain the required skill to hit a target with this method, using ripple release or cluster weapons... :smartass: One thing in the replay that bothers me is, why tha hell did the first two MK-84 release together and the second and third went as it was single ripple??? :dunno: Anyway, the track is attached...

Its always CBR... Where would the world be today if all the things were done in relation to CBR (cost to benefit ratio)... In deep "front of the cave" mud... :music_whistling:

If you remap the pause key, you will not be able to unpause multiplayer track replays... those can be unpaused only with "Pause" key... which on my Ultra-thin USB Apple keyboard (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1216) is F16, but I think only after Bootcamp keyboard drivers instalation (Win7 64bit). Prior to Bootcamp drivers instalation, the "Pause" key could not be mapped by any means...

The frame falls appart at arround 400-450kts if you try to pull out of it a little harder...

Anyone found a fix for this whire flashing thingeys jet?

LOL!!! Same happened to me after some air refuelling training... My lead & I coming in together really gently and then this ugly alarm wouldn't turn off for God knows what reason... then my A-10 stopped so fast, impossible for it to be such a gentle landing... It hit me just then, gear not deployed... :D:D:D

Yup... canopy scratches & crazing would be nice, so I can look at Nevada in peace when it comes out... :D:D:D

Catalyst 11.8 and white flashing boxes are still here... OMFG!!! :(
