How about the ECR aswell? Doesnt that carry about 6 or 8 ALARMs? :) Im a dirty Harrier bloke but I think its a bit too similar to the A10, Tonka it is then! :) Can we get the Mach Loop terrain too? :) Not quite a Harrier though..

I believe RAF/RN pilots were asked politely to stop VIFing due to it being deemed unfair on the multi-role fighters ;)

Ask the Yanks how they do in dogfights on the ACMI ranges against 'multi-role targets' ;) 'I got him Goose, , got him locked, got good tone......holy S**T..he slammed the brakes and we flew right by...' 'Sorry old chap, I do believe we call that a VIF!'

And the GR9a isnt a multirole carrier based fighter? Throw in the Sea Harrier and you have everything you ever wanted. Hows a typical multi-role fighter more interesting than the only operational VTOL aircraft, ever ;)

Need Harriers and Tonkas for Red Flag, hint hint...

anyone got reccomended settings for BS?

Tornado F3 and Gr4 in one pack, thats multirole taken care of! Or Sea Harrier and Gr9a

10 minutes to get our sharks in the air? Maybe if you keep forgetting to turn the apu fuel on like I keep doing! :) 'why wont it start???' I find it quite rewarding hedge hopping under some Quakers to take out a convoy. I was rubbish at it at first, could almost have called me a Quaker too just charging in flat out. Now I like to sneak around the hills and valleys picking your air defenses off one by one. I wish I had a runway cratering missile to really spoil your day :) I think when dcs a10c is released choices will be limited, i think BS and A10c will only be playable with each other leaving the frag fest purely on the lomac servers. I don't think we will see a game with so many flyable aircraft again for a while which is a shame. Without the fighters it wont be as rewarding getting in and out of a target area.

Noob question...how do I save and watch a track from multiplayer? Sorry I know it's pretty basic! Just limped home with engine 2 doing some funky things and wouldn't mind seeing what state my BS was in. Also, in the charlie-foxtrot (something like that!) mission is there a bug after reds destroy the farp the next target wont trigger? Just keeps saying the il is two minutes out. Cheers, great server! Spaulding.

I think the Harrier would make a good compromise between rotary wing and fast jet. everyones happys! ;)

Ah cool, cheers! Ill try find a systems diagram and have a nosey before I comment next time. Great training mission, beats the DIY training from BS :) I think most people will be more at home with a jet to start with aswell, cant wait :)

Is it common practice on A10s to turn the Generators on before starting the engine? On jets ive worked on they are usually left off until the engine is running to reduce load on startup. Im not saying its wrong, its interesting to compare procedures!

Harrier please!! Gr9 with sniper would do nicely

If I fly a good mission, land and rearm/fuel, take off and kill some more guys and land and quit... do i get two lots of double points or just one lots for being landed when I quit?

I guess the duct above the left engine could be the apu intake and the duct above the right engine could be the API exhaust? Or the other way round!

I can only comment on aircraft ive worked on(western stuff), but sometimes the APU and GTS (Gas Turbine Starter) come as one unit and you can only run in one mode at a time. If you start the APU first(for basic electrical systems) you can translate to GTS mode once your ready to start the main engine. Or you can just start straight into GTS mode. Its all run off of one unit so no need to transfer air, the unit in the pic with the exhaust looks just what im used to. I have some good system diagrams of GTS/APUs somewhere i can scan in. http://www.everettaero.com/lucas.html

Are the switches and buttons kept as images anywhere? If so is it easy to export them to photoshop or anything to use in a document? Sorry not searched, again, just on here for a few minutes.

ah thats a shame, would have made the ipad a bit more interesting. Sorry didnt do a search, was just on my mobile at the time and my fat fingers keep missing the search button! :)

http://www.maxivista.com/ipad_monitor.htm Has anyone tried anything like this yet? I've seen a few touchscreens been used but not an ipad I think

Had my first go on the 104th server tonight, apparently it was quieter than normal but still good fun. My Ka-50 ended up rotorless in a field and burst into flames when I tried to get the engines going again... all in all a good mission! Cheers guys!

The centre line pylon and strakes on the Harrier are on and off all the time depending on role, its always the dirtiest jobs that get done often! Some good pics of stuff that get slung under the Harrier these days. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t31454.html

It only mentions data for A10 F15 etc in that file though? What about the rest of the aircraft?

Pylons sometimes come off for air display purposes as there is no need for them, there isn't a lot to them. The ones i have removed are simply: ERU's drop out the bottom of the pylon and then two bolts and a pin hold the pylon to the aircraft along with an electrical plug. If its a wet pylon you need to fit a blank to the fuel pick ups.

Where is the engine data for the standard flight models kept? I cant seem to find any mention of thurst or anything for any of the standard aircraft, just weight etc. cheers

I got the files backed up, I just dont understand whats wrong. My multi monitor setup actually works in game, I just get the error on startup and when I try go into options it just crashes. And if i edit a file to add an aircraft or edit something I get the same error.. Im using Textpad, could that cause a problem?
