Didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

Here is a track where I nailed an F-15 with a single Alamo and dodged his AMRAAM at the same time by putting my missile in the air and then notching for a few seconds before turning back in, locking him up and giving my missile guidance again. Listen up kids, this is why you always take action when a missile is fired at you, not when the missile is 2 miles out! The slammer still found me but didn't have enough energy left to give chase. One Shot One Kill Su-27.trk

Unfortunately nothing I can do to help then.

Have you tried reinstalling? It's possible the LODs got screwed up somehow.

You have to make a new flight for each multiplayer slot. You can't have more than one "client" in a flight. I think the mission editor lets you copy flights in DCS A-10, but someone else will have to explain how to do that.

That works like auto-select next aircraft.

I can't get it to do that. The auto-lock buttons found under "Simplifications" highlight the target on the easy radar and put a big red box around the target visually, but if you fire a missile it won't track anything. I've always had to get in visual range and use dogfight radar modes to lock on and fire missiles or fire maddogs.

It's not as much for me as it is for a friend. I'm trying to find ways to make the game a little easier for him so we can play together. I want to use it as a Situational Awareness trainer so he'll have an idea where to point his plane's radar, but as it is now it's kind of useless since it takes away your BVR capability while the enemy keeps it. How was this mode intended to be used? Maybe I should ask Wags directly.

Thank you for your joke sungsam, that did make me laugh. However, I am still waiting for an answer to this. It is very frustrating to have a feature that is supposed to make the game easier for newer players and yet have absolutely no instruction as to how to use it.

As the title says, how exactly does it work? At least in the F-15, I've noticed that I can't lock targets using BVR radar mode. Is BVR disabled completely in this mode? And how do you lock targets for a missile attack in visual range without using boresite, vertical scan, etc? Or is it just there to make finding targets easier and nothing more?

That was beyond stupid. How can an idiot like that have the power to buy one of those things in the first place? He could have killed everyone there with flying blades. Everything he did once in the air made him look drunk. You would think that the first thing you should do if the chopper is not going the direction you want right after takeoff would be to drop the collective while you're still low enough. Failing that, GET AWAY FROM THE GROUND once you're full-blown out of control instead of making a controlled tail-first landing. /rant

I am going to BUMP this thread because I just ran across this site myself while searching for KMGU-2 info. For a moment I was considering using the "contact us" to ask them how they were able to keep operating with their site in the open like that, then I noticed the KC-135 picture was from DCS. :lol: I browsed through a while thinking, "Man, these guys have everything except the kitchen sink!" Then I noticed the Kitchen Sinks category. :megalol:

You must have a vehicle of your faction on the airfield at start to make the field yours, neutral fields will not rearm or refuel you. At least, that's how I remember it.

I have never been able to generate hypoxia myself. Here is a track I just did, I started too high and too fast and had to restart the engines, after that I turned off the main air supply, the bleed air switch, and the oxygen supply switch and proceeded to fly up to angles 30 for around 30 minutes in the game, and nothing happened. No Hypoxia.trk

Some poor tank is about to be eaten. :)

I know I'm playing A-10 too much when I start checking fields to the side of the highway for SAM systems while I'm driving!

It's left alt + c actually. There's three modes to it, first is cursor moves view, second makes the cursor disappear with the mouse still moving the view, last one just has the cursor without controlling view.

D'OH! I knew that. :idiot:

I haven't the faintest clue what that is exactly myself, but I would assume it's some kind of machine-machine interface and is only displayed to show that it's working. Edit: What is Tetris?

In my experience the AI has always been dreadfully unrealistic, best not to pay any attention to the methods they use. So yes, the D is the one to use in night time operations. Personally, the D is the only one I use since it can always lock a target two miles farther out than the K. I haven't used the H more than once or twice, but I'm pretty sure I had to get as close as I had to get with the K for a lock. I find it quite odd. The resolution of the K and H are much, much higher than the D allowing me to make out targets twice as far away, where with the D I would never be able to find a specific target without the TGP unless it was out in the open away from everything else.

I am trying to do the Spring Tempest campaign, and so far the second mission is 100% impossible to complete. Main problem: the AI has a 100% dodge rate against my BVR missles. After I attempt to guide in my first 27ER I'm usually either eating a 120 or finding that my entire flight is wiped out. Other times I'm lucky enough to get WVR, and that's only when I'm constantly firing 27ERs one after the other until i get close while the other enemies are occupied, and then the F-16 proceeds to dodge my ETs and 73s 90% of the time. Then I try to use my guns, and the F-16 starts looping with a turn rate that puts the gun pipper under the hud. There is no way to take them out without active radar missiles. Then the other enemy flights come in. I've tried so many things. My flight is useless, always getting 120s after them with guaranteed deaths. What am I supposed to do? Is this campaign designed to be flown with unlimited weapons and immortality, or should I stop trying to compete with the big boys?

Very nice! I've been waiting for the 33 to get some attention. Keep it up combatace, and HURRY it up!!! (Sorry, the default smilies don't do this justice:))

Very well, Yes my way is manual. I looked in Scripts>Database>db_weapons.lua and found the codes that are used for all the weapons in mission files and rearm.lua located in Scripts>Aircraft>_Common. I was able to change the first rearm option from the ground crew to include four R-27ETs and four R-77s by replacing the LauncherCLSID code with the respective CLSID code found in db_weapons. However, I wasn't able to change the dialog list so I have to remember what weapons I set for which payload. There are two lines of code for each weapon in db_weapons.lua, or at least for the air to air weapons. I used the first line's CLSID. You can edit mission payloads this way by opening the .miz file with WinRAR and then opening 'mission' with Notepad++, searching for the desired aircraft in the mission, and placing the desired CLSID code for your weapon on the desired pylon. A very desirable skill for 'fantasy' mission makers like myself. :) Now that's how I discovered how to do it, but that tool could make things a lot easier. First however I have to know if it will add/remove or rename any files in the FC2 directory. Modman HATES it when I make any unauthorized changes in those regards. Edit: after testing that tool I have found that it can be used with my modman configuration. Unfortunately it looks like it can't add disabled weapons like I can in my above method. It can however rename the rearm options, so perhaps it will be useful to me after all. :) Thank you again.

I always have hard times with forum searches. I appreciate your effort in trying to find it for me, please let me know if you do. EDIT: I have discovered a way! I do not wish to hijack RF13's thread any further, so if anyone is interested just shoot me a PM.

Happy to help. :)
