Forwards, not backwards. Upwards, not forwards. And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

"Manual Page 445, Chapter 12.7.3 Special cursor functions in TGP can be used in both cockpit by pressing the PB 7.The WSO can additionally select them by pressing the PB 7 or by moving the Castle Switch (see Rear Cockpit HOTAS functions earlier in this chapter). To perform the special cursor function: In the front cockpit, TDC should be pressed. In the rear cockpit, HC Trigger should be pressed to full action. The possible options are: blank (no function selected), TGT (target), UPDT (update), CUE and MARK." You need to be in TGT at PB 7 to designate a target. If it is blank or another mode, press PB 7 until TGT shows above PB 7.

So, you might say you are modifying the game.

The terrain avoidance looks amazing. Can't wait to try it out.

I've been trying this mission recently and I had no problem finding the ships but I can't damage the ships at all. Firing all the APKWS results in 3-4% damage on one ship. The one good MAV won't lock and my GBU-54s do not want to track my laser, whether I'm in autolaze or manual lazing, they only seem to go after the TGP coords at launch moment.. GAU is a suicide run. Shelving until something changes.

I started flying the A-10C when the Tank Killer was released. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, for about 3 hours every other day and I love it. The HOTAS is probably my favorite thing about it. I can absolutely employ my weapons and sensors to get whatever I need done in a quick and efficient manner, even with a broken Saitek X-52 from 15 years ago. I had been flying the JF-17 and I loved it's HOTAS controls because I had come from the Viggen and the Mirage which had very limited HOTAS controls. It took a bit to get used to the new controls in the Warthog but holy crap, I wish all planes had a HOTAS setup like this. Just last night I set up a mission where I would go in my JF-17 first on a SEAD mission with 802AKGs and LD-10s before respawning in my Warthog to go blow up a staging area for an armoured advance and it was a night and day difference. Having to go through multiple menus in the JF-17 to get to my cruise missile controls and loosing quick access to the other menus really sucked, especially when you accidentally revert back to normal menus and have to go through multiple MFD pages again to get back. The Warthog lets you keep your eyes up and outside, because with the slight movement of a couple fingers to can do damn near everything, and that is where the beauty lies.

That would be cool to have.

Doesn't announce the new laser mavericks either. I don't think the JTAC recognizes the brand new armament.

My only computer crashes this year have been because of my systems lack of memory.

I really only ever use the outside views when I am orbiting, autopilot or watching a Maverick hit home. It's not a huge deal for me to hit F6 and scroll around with the keyboard. Been doing it since 2004

Yeah I'm just learning to fly the Warthog and I can barely see my HUD most of the time. Especially while making turns its terrible. I wonder if it's this bad in the real aircraft.

Sounds awesome, sign me up. I'd love a more Russian full fidelity plane that is more modern than the MiG-21/23. Edit: Not super keen about it being a two-seater though. Is it fully flyable from the front? I dont have any friends that play DCS so I would be out of luck for a co-pilot.

Help a dummy out, what new things would the Su-30MKK bring that the Su-27 doesn't have? Which is the better plane, or are they different roles?
