Tailgate

I was basically joking about the very short landing roll-outs of the AI A-10's, as if they used TR.

It might be my imagination, but I've noticed I've missed more often when the contrast between target and background is minimal. Also I've noticed that the mav crosshairs pulse when I get a valid lock, and when they are steady it means the target is not completely locked and will probably result in a miss. I'll usually bump the slew to re-aquire when that happens.

I'm having a problem assigning a AFAC Predator to moving vehicles. I have it set to engage a fast moving column nearby and all I get is ... "Thanks for the support, you can head home". All the engagement parameters are set to auto. Are there some range restrictions, etc. I'll try to attach my mission after work today.

I was also going to suggest, make sure you're not over-G'ing, it's easy to break something, like ripping off the wings. I started a head to head pass on the fast side, tried to lead turn and next thing I know i'm spiraling down without wings. lol.

So, all the 90 previous posts are describing a Placebo effect? Does the IFFCC automatic wind correction compensate for high altitude dumb bomb drops (12 to 20 k)?

I have the A-10 and Mustang modules and so far I'm seeing a great improvement in FPS on my old rig. The biggest difference is the Mustang which is much smoother now and I can actually do air to air engagements, prior it was like a slide show. I particularly like the new bullet effects, I can see the hits on the a/c. The best thing is the auto-updater, it only touched the files that were required, all of my controller profiles were untouched as well as skins. Excellent job, ED!

Sorry, what's the fix? Just updated to 1.2;2 and no Misc options.

I understand that the autoupdater downloads a 1.21 to 1.2.2 patch and we're not downloading the entire 5 GB's Full Install version. Is there a link to the Patch version somewhere, only the full version is listed on the DCS download page?

So if I understand the take-off aids are missing in 1.2.2? I don't use them, but I want to make sure they're off or at least off by default. Is there any way to confirm it? I'm downloading 1.2.2 right now, but maybe I should hold off before applying it?

yes.

You already have those functions in the Inventory page.

Kharasho! You may have figured it out, but for emergency brake, pull lever and press toe brakes.

My understanding is that the 4.0.0.8 is hard coded after the time has elapsed, I doubt any additional alignment or increased accuracy is modeled beyond that but only the devs know for sure.

Hmm I guess i'm,not understanding. Silly question but you have downloaded and installed the A-10C module (ver 1.2.1) for DCS World, right? If so , try opening a mission up in ME and confirm that the A-10 you wish to fly has "Player" assigned to it. Save and try to refly.

I think controlling RPM is more important than controlling MP as long as MP is not redlining. The manual shows higher MP than the green section. The manual shows Max Continuous is at 46 MP, 2700 RPM, Max Cruise at 42 MP at 2400 RPM, both MP's are above the MP green zone which tops out at 36. I'm not actually sure what the MP Green zone is for? I try to maintain 45 to 50 MP, but even at full throttle at higher pre-blower and post- blower altitudes, you'll see the MP start dropping.

Sure they do if you have the A-10 module. Just re-save them in the DCSW . I have several custom missions that work from A-10C Warthog without even re-saving.

I was plagued with engine seizures until I learned these two tricks. 1. On start up, manually open the radiator coolant vent, it's closed by default. Hold it for about 10 secs until fully open. Watch the oil pressure needle ( lower left on the engine instruments) and warm up the engine until the needle falls into to the green. I think oil viscosity is modeled, so it has to thin out, or too much pressure will crack the heads. Set the vent back to auto once it's warmed up. 2. When airborne, if the oil temp (top gauge on engine instruments) heads toward red, manually open the radiator oil vent (hold it for 10 secs), you should see the oil temp start to fall. Set it back to auto but keep an eye on it. I haven't had an engine seizure since I followed these tips.

Funny, in FC, I used to angle my a/c so the center line cannon pipper aligned with the gun pod pipper, then it worked fine. of course that defeated the purpose of laser designated gun pods. (I assume laser targeting still works?) I haven't tested the pods yet.

In 1.1.1.1 when refueling was completed the Boom operator would say, "Transfer Complete". I think it's been changed in the current version where he says "disconnect" while you're still connected, then you have to press the reset (nose steering) then he'll say "Transfer Complete". It kind of gives you control over it, but it also makes it a little harder to judge when you're topped off, because he'll also say "Disconnect" if you're riding too high on the boom and out of position. But it's minor since you can see that your position hasn't changed and a quick tank check will tell you whether you're full.

Are you using dynamic weather?

Have you tried re-installing Mustang? I have a low end system using an old 9800GT card. Of course my frame-rates are not optimal and I'm using medium settings, but my card is definitely not over-temping or stuttering on ext to int view changes. Maybe there is a massive jump between medium and high, but it sounds like something else is going on.

Oops! lol. Using right rudder and nose down trim helps. Hold the stick back for the intiial roll (about 60 to 70 kts), then push the stick forward until nose level, then gently lift off after 100 kts

If I am designing my own mission for SP, I like putting all Flights on the same frequency including wingmen. I like all the chatter. I haven't figured out how to setup or use the guard channel yet, but that may be an option for the same effect.

I know we need to manually open the coolant vent on start up then switch to auto after takeoff. I'm wondering if the automatic feature is actually functioning?

Photon torpedoes? :)
