Update 2 is available here:

Here is a quick update on happenings around DCS:

Mission 3 has started with video #8:

Here is another in the tutorial series for the Su-25 Frogfoot:

The top post is updated with a recap of the 28 Jun and 04 July streams. If they're going to give me a 'sticky' I might as well use it. ;)

Here is a quick overview of Rider's DCS Mission Planner Utility. This is an easy way to calculate Takeoff and Landing Data, to see the effects of different load-outs, and to perform detailed fuel planning for a mission.

Here is the first update. Pretty good results so far! Woogey, maybe next time. Let me see how things go and how hard it is to keep things organized and I'll try to expand it in the future.

I actually started with a static object but could find no way of making it "immortal" and keeping it from being destroyed. That is key to the method I am using to make the measurements. Grimes, I am going to leave it as-is but thanks for the suggestion.

You should go for the tank every time. Sorry about that, I see what you mean now. I thought the "hold" action assigned at the waypoint was keeping him in place but I suppose not. Oh well, he never goes far. :)

A-10C Bombing Competition Winner: Bman - 9.7 feet Second: Derbysieger - 21.3 feet Third: Tuk - 22.7 feet Su-25T Bombing Competition Winner: The Colonel - 11 feet Second: CASoldier - 12.3 feet Third: Priller: 14.7 feet Su-25T Team Competition Winner: 373 vFS (Vassilis, Mav, Greg) - 20.7 feet A-10C less than 4,000 feet Winner: Calacorm Second: Bears89 Third: Schnarre Welcome to this month’s DCS: World Virtual Gunsmoke Competition! This competition will feature bomb delivery in one of two categories: the Su-25T Frogfoot or the A-10C Warthog. Each category requires three bomb delivery passes on a target. Your score will be determined by calculating the average distance of the three bombs from the target. Overview Video: How to compete: 1. Download and fly one of the two missions attached at the bottom of this post while following the rules below. 2. Save the .trk replay file by selecting SAVE TRACK from the debrief screen at the end of the mission. 3. Submit the .trk file for scoring by attaching it to a reply to this thread, by providing a download link, or by e-mailing it directly to bunyapsims(at)gmail.com. Be sure to include the name you wish to go by with the submission. 4. Optionally, pilots with Tacview 1.3.3 may help me out by submitting the tacview acmi file along with your .trk replay to aid me in the scoring process. Note: Someone is bound to point out that .trk replays are prone to losing sync and and do not always represent precisely what happened while flying the mission in real-time. I made several test runs of both missions and found that the difference in impact points between live and replay was never more than 1-2 feet for the type of releases we are performing. Dispersion of that size averaged over three releases is smaller than our ability to measure anyway and should not be a factor. If you still have any doubt, feel free to include your own tacview acmi along with your .trk and I will use yours for scoring. The submission deadline is 31 Jul 2015 at 2359 EDT. Feel free to practice as many times as you would like but you may make only one submission. Some of the better attack runs will be included in periodic update videos so please let me know by PM if, for some reason, you would rather not be highlighted by name. Feel free to talk about your performance and show one of your own attacks but remember, displaying your own total score guarantees somebody else will work hard enough to beat it and is not in your own best interest! Individual Category Rules: Su-25T Frogfoot The Su-25T Frogfoot competition is intended for new players and consists of three individual FAB-100 bomb deliveries on the target. There are no restrictions on weapons delivery mode or technique; however, “gimmicky” methods such as low speed passes at 10 feet, crashing into the target on the third pass, etc., will result in disqualification. Pilots who compete in the A-10 Warthog competition may not compete in the Su-25 Frogfoot. Requirements: Number of Releases: 3 Weapon Type: FAB-100 HUD Mode: Any Release Mode: Single Altitude: Any Airspeed: Any Dive Angle: Any A-10C Warthog The A-10C Warthog competition is intended for experienced players and consists of three individual Mk-82 CCIP deliveries on the target. Wind will be a factor and should be taken into account when planning and executing your attacks. A minimum pull-out altitude of 4,000 feet ABOVE GROUND LEVEL is in effect. Pilots are responsible for determining the target altitude, making any barometric altitude conversions, and ensuring the dive angle and release altitude they choose allows them to pull out of any dive before exceeding the limit. Flying below 4,000 ft AGL during any weapons delivery pass will result in a score of 1,000 ft for that pass; however, pilots may make low passes over the target for BDA, photo-ops, etc, at any other time without penalty. Requirements: Number of Releases: 3 Weapon Type: Mk-82 HUD Mode: CCIP (the 3/9 or 5 mil CCIP CR option is authorized) Release Mode: Single Minimum Pull-out Altitude: 4,000 feet AGL Airspeed: Any Dive Angle: Any Squadron Competition Rules: Squadron members wishing to compete as a team in one or the other airframe may do so by including their squadron affiliation with each individual submission. A minimum of three submissions are required from each squadron for that squadron to qualify. The top three individual scores from each squadron will be combined to determine the total team score. Pilots competing as part of a squadron are also eligible to compete as individuals and need only make one submission. Scoring: The following process will be used: The .trk replay file submitted by the pilot will be run on my system to verify no changes were made to the mission, verify only the authorized delivery modes were used, and to generate the Tacview .acmi file used for scoring. The bomb impacts will be measured in Tacview from the point the bomb contacted the ground to the 0,0,0 point on the target model, about the middle of the tank chassis at ground level. The distance from the target in feet for all three releases will be averaged to determine the player’s total score. Prizes: For now, pilots will be competing for bragging rights but I may include something more suitable if participation and interest is high enough. First, second, and third place winners from each category will be highlighted and full results will be released once all entries are scored. Helpful Videos: Current Submissions: These are the current competitors whose results have been scored. If you have submitted a file and do not see your name here within 3-4 days let me know.

Hey, happy birthday! :)

This is an A-10C Warthog single mission called Broken Wing. I fly it more or less all the way through and have Tacview displayed so you can keep an eye on what is going on and see all the little things I missed as well as a few things I got right. Parts 1 and 2 are up and parts 3 and 4 will follow this week.

This is great. Thanks!

That looks pretty awesome. Thanks!

Great question. :) This is the relevant part of the russian language manual translated (kind of) into english: "As mentioned above when changing the airspeed or altitude air pressure upstream of the compressor and also varies to accommodate these changes using barostatichesky controller (5). Aneroid barostat (sensor) located at the inlet to the compressor and is under the full air pressure, and a servo that performs direct control, is included in the fuel line of high pressure. Barostat membrane under the influence of air pressure moves the actuator arm, which ultimately drives the servo piston sealing valve (4). This piston in turn increases or decreases the amount of fuel going to overflow from the high pressure line (15) into the low pressure line. Thus, by automatically controlling the pressure of fuel is carried out constant maintenance of optimum ratio of fuel and air in the combustion chambers. At the same time control the fuel consumption is static, as changing the position of its regulatory body (the swash plate) is associated with a corresponding change in the control parameter (fuel pressure). Flow regulator has a static error control. In case of malfunction barostaticheskogo controller provides the shutdown of the control system of automatic control. This is accomplished by a solenoid (electromagnet) operating voltage of 27V DC. Disabling barostat the inclusion AZSa switchboard on the left, on the solenoid (disconnect barostat) signals lamp, Figure 3.16." Until proven otherwise, I take that to mean only throw the switch and isolate the system if you suspect the automatic system is malfunctioning (i.e. incorrect fuel pressure, RPM, EGT for a given altitude). I just tried it out and it causes a very small change in RPM and a little "jump" in fuel pressure when you use it at high altitude. I really wish I knew the exact conditions that would cause a pilot to throw the switch but it might be more clear when the manual is fully translated or more documents show up. ------------------------------ #16 is up and the series is more or less complete. I will re-engage if anything changes but that is it for now. Thanks again to everybody who watched. :)

This is a quick "for fun" series in the A-10. Feel free to fly along. :) Other A-10 Warthog series: Defend Camp Yankee with Oculus Rift

Very cool. Great find!

Absolutely right. My brain says lag but my eyes say pull. My brain rarely wins. :)

Here is the first of a new series showing quick engagements in different situations. This is a 2 on 2 MiG-15 vs F-86 Sabre dogfight. It is a departure from the usual mission and tutorial videos on my channel but feel free to check the other stuff too out if you enjoyed it.

I'm a couple days late but here is a quick run-down of the latest patch:

Thanks Airway. :) 12, 13, and 14 are up.

#9 - 11 are up. See the video names for a brief description of what is covered. Thanks again!

#8 is up covering the O2 and Pneumatic system.
