Is your GPU fan running at 100%. Does your case have enough air flow?

If Re-Arm doesn't reload the chute, try Repair, I tested it and I got a fresh Chute every time.

Crimea was pretty nice but too flat. IMO nothing beats flying through the mountainous terrain of the Caucasus.

I would recommend starting out by creating a mission with a straight and level flight between two distant Wpts. No orbit or wind. Once you get the hang of it, then move up to tanker orbits.

I have a mission that I thought was a no-brainer win. I have my plane about 50 yards behind a "Good" AI. However, if I don't manage to take him out in the first 10 seconds, he'll pull some fancy maneuvers, immelman, barrel roll, dive, then it's usually all over for me, either he winds up with a snap shot or I'll blackout and over- G my AC, and rip off my wings, Lol. I guess I need a lot more practice.

Perhaps we'll get it back with Edge.

For these virtual demo teams I think the only way around it is real time recording/editing on the fly, having a "virtual" camera person in "spectators" switching views. Seems like a lot of set ups, choreography and editing involved. In cockpit might be an issue unless you can pull it from the 'local" trk and edit it in.

That's right, I only had very limited time on FC1 because of Starforce issues. FC2 resolved those.

Looks like the latest patch fixed this issue. Thanks!

AFAIK , the Crimean Pen. has been featureless since the Flanker days.

How do you set up Tabogganing? Set the start of the orbit at 20k and ending at 10k and just refuel on the downside? I guess if you spread the points out far enough you can refuel in one leg. Can't really set the orbit to do that, just use two points far enough apart.

That's the racetrack orbit speed in the editor.

I usually have them orbiting at 230 at 16k. Not sure if it's realistic, but it works even with the heaviest loadout.

What happens when RAM is shut off in flight? You should get some changes in MP and engine Temp, correct?

Wheeler in Xwind -Uj3oE8bZXA Definitely not first landing, took a lot of practice to be proficient. :)

I can move the levers, but I understood they have no effect in the sim because RAM air is always on. :)

So the Ram Air, Hot Air levers are not functional? What are the proper usages for these levers? I would imagine RAM should be on except on the ground. Hot Air at altitude to prevent icing?

It's not just launching the sim as Admin, it's running the initial installations as admin, for example, right click on DCS_A10_xxx.exe and select "run as admin".

Make sure you run the installs as Admin.

Is it the same for standalone missions, or just campaigns?

I take it that AI Mustangs do not have those limitations. :) They also seem to be able to pull more G's than me without ripping off their wings.

While I was refueling I sneezed and accidentally pushed the throttle. I heard a loud "bang" as the boom hit the top of my canopy. Luckily no damage, reset and resumed refueling. Not sure if the sound effect is new, but it was pretty good.

Any specifics as to what 6288 fixes or improves?

Check your Axis Tuning in the Controls menu for any strange values or curves.

I get this initially when a mission starts as the cockpit zooms out, then it stabilizes quickly. (Nevermind, haven't loaded the latest 6288 patch yet.)
