If you can export the set frequencies by LUA one could maybe make tool/plugin for TS/Vent to switch channels according to that. ???

You usually plan fuel for the ingress + play time + egress + some more for the travel to your alternative AB (in case your homeplate isn't available when you return (i.e. because of technical problems or a crashed AC on the runway etc.)). All this needs to be calculated with the estimated fuel-flows (depending on weight, alt and speed). Indeed one needs a chart to know the fuel flows for several conditions.

Sounds like a valid point by Avilator. But not only when you need MORE power - When you need to decrease speed, just putting the throttle backwards lets the AC slow down quite slow. With brakes extended the response is well higher. I figured this when I was doing carrier-ops with the Su-33. I always do the carrier approaches with brake extended. AND: F-15 and F-16 also use their airbrakes for landing. I guess for the same reasons.

Oh, I don't care about FC 2... ;) I'm totally happy as long as DCS modules keep compatible!

Yeah, I understand all of that. But it definetly makes a difference saying "it's planned but we don't know yet if we can make it happen" and "we don't intend to make it happen". It's only that little detail I asked about. I also think it makes more sense to concentrate on future projects than making compatibility between FC2 and the A-10. But compatibility between the DCS-modules should really be a primary target to work on. The choice of aircraft has been one of the main keys to success for LO I think and it could also be for DCS. And about the online squadrons: They're for sure a small piece of the market, but a huge factor when we talk about the community, the hardliners, those who push things forward, those who pay money for websites, download-servers, forums, making advertisement for the product by all of this. "Falcon" would be dead since years without their great community (of squadrons).

Actually GA doesn't look like he needs some "security" to protect him from unwanted questions, does he?! Plain normal, that people want to know if they need to put some money aside to enjoy the A-10. So let them ask and just don't answer if you don't want to.

As drag limits the max. speed to a falling object, height doesn't matter once you're as high as you have to be to let the bomb reach that max. speed. However, someone else has to answer how this is modelled when you're flying below this altitude.

And IMO "unlikely" is not what I call a clear answer. ;) Compatibility with KA-50 is a "must have"!!! Else the whole idea of DCS beeing a series with different modules would totally fail. At least for online-squadrons...

I know this has been asked a few times before, but I'm not really sure how to understand the answers: Q: "Will DCS:A-10C be compatible with FC2?" A: "Most probably not!" Now my question is: Is it planned but not sure if it will happen or is it not planned at all? It's important to know for us, to plan the future structures of our squadron. TY for answering this question (once again...).

Good to hear!!!

Wow GA, you're getting better with each and every vid you make. Can't stop watching it. And TY for the credits! We're proud to host your work!

Because things tend to get lost in these mega-threads...

Yap, beeing able to copy and paste units, including their loadout, waypoints and task would be somehow essential!

Yes, features that would support realistic CSAR-missions (could also be something in the trigger-system like [report_posit]) would be amazing!!!

I personally never use all the three modes of the X-52pro. Just use the buttons in one mode plus some of them shifted. Also I feel very comfortable with my touchscreen using TouchBuddy instead of struggling with all the modes of the HOTAS. I can absolutely recommend this combination! I'm sure this will be perfect for any future DCS-module too.

O.k., thank you. Maybe I have the wrong picture of how things work in the developement process. I'll wait and hope the best.:thumbup:

Oh, I understand, don't get me wrong, When I ask for a little more details, I talk about features which are done, working and implemented already. As ED still plans to release 2010, more things should be in the "done"-stage than in the "maybe"-stage. So that's all.

Looks like we'll unfortunately not know until we hold it in our hands... even if I don't really understand the purpose of holding back information on stuff like this.

Amen!

Oooops, sorry... Thought it was clear...

I know! I was just joking... That's why i put this -> :lol: guy behind.

Understand that, but as these topics develop really fast and often go OT somehow, one often got the feeling that a point gets lost within. Hm... too bad... So I'll have to hope for the best... ;) Hm... I'd say it does. It can also ruin LO mission concepts (where you can also fly CAS with EACH aircraft except the F-15).

As this question is quite important in my eyes and as it gets totally lost in the "DCS:A-10C Website"-Thread I'll give it an own thread:

F-15s don't shoot at A-10s! ;) Usually CAS-AC operate in quite safe environments regarding enemy fighters. So the harddeck is to avoid manpads AAA and stuff like that.

You're sure right Dark. Besides the pure GHz-numbers, the i-processors architecture is also improving things, but I need to save money so I'll stay at my old 2x4GHz for a while...
