Worth the wait. Great job ED.

The Sunday Supplement email from DCS had a write up of the Desert Storm AH-64 attack that took out the EW radar sites to start the air war. I think Desert Storm would make a good campaign using the Persian Gulf or Syria map. I realize that that the AH-64A's were used in that conflict. the mast mounted millimeter wave radar dome can be optional, which gets closer to the A model. To me it's just too historic of a mission to pass up making.

I have not been around for a very long time. I made many good friends on this forum and I hope to make a few more when AH-64D draws me back into the forums. I second the Kumbaya.

My sentiments exactly. I'm looking forward to loosing a few hundred days in this module.

Here is my Radio Tutorial for the A-10C again. Original link was dead https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=250002&d=1602542637

Hey Sarge55, Thanks for letting me know that the link is dead. Here is an updated link:https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=250002&d=1602542637

There is a Radio Tutorial in my signature line if it helps you

I for one am glad to see the meatball overlay. I had a very hard time seeing it in my oculus rift. It may have to serve as a temporary solution until facebook/oculus gets a 4k VR headset with less screendoor effect.

Put my order in today.

It's been a while, but I will give it a try. The MK20 aka "Rockeye" is a standard cluster munition for light armor and some older tanks From the DCS A-10C Manual: CBU-105 The CBU-105 is the Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser (WCMD) tail kit version of the CBU-97. Using Inertial Navigation System (INS) guidance, the CBU-105 can be dropped at much higher altitudes than the CBU-97 and guide to the targeted location (SPI). Post edited because I was incorrect about the 99. I was confusing it with the 105. Apologies.

Thank you Capt Zeen. I can not wait. Your Helios profiles are the only way for me to enjoy a non VR session.

I agree that the flaps position switch should not need target to work in game as mr mojo97 has pointed out. Speaking specifically for the A10C, the flaps function is speed sensitive. The A10C will move the flaps for you if you forget to raise them as you go faster. Try to check the flaps functionality on the ground during a ramp start...that should show you if the switch is working.

Hi Paul, there is a "Cold Start Checklist" in my signature line below this post. Hope it helps.

Just in case you did not know, the track clip pro has 3 IR emitters that the track IR camera uses to see changes in your head position. The Hat Clip is merely a reflector. The Track IR camera can turn on a IR light and look for the reflection off of the hat clip. In my experience, the track clip pro removes a lot of positioning false signals, and is a better user experience in general. The major factor to getting the best experience out of the Track IR/Clip is the removal or minimization of unwanted IR sources that the Track IR camera can see. Sunlight glinting off of a window in the camera's view can wreak havoc with the Track IR, so try to get rid of any stray IR source.

No worries, glad you got it all sorted out!

Are you on battery power or APU GEN power? Did you hit the LOAD button after setting the dials to 134.00?

Hi GC1993, Welcome to the Forums. I have a radio tutorial in my signature line if you want to check it out and see if your procedures are correct.

Very well done mission Joyride! We had a blast last night flying it. The production quality and the immersion level were a treat. Thank you.

That method may still cause you to have the same problem as your original post. Use the Module Manager in DCS World just to be sure.

Hi winther101, Welcome to the Forums! Try opening DCS World, and go to the list on the right side and open up the module manager. (I think that is what it is called) Then select the A-10C module and hit "install" The correct module for that update should begin to download. Hope that helps.

IIRC, that solution did not work. And just to be clear, there is no "tearing apart" in that process, just unplugging one cable and removing the joystick handle...all of which it was designed to do, and can be reversed in 5 minutes.

Hi d.burnette, I also had a NXT modded cougar with hall's and the transition to the Warthog is a pleasant one....nice and smooth. Regarding your Elite Pedals, I had a set of Simped's paired with my Cougar via the serial port on the Cougar joystick base. When I got the Warthog, I wanted to keep the Simped's and try to incorporate them into the new hardware. The only solution I could come up with is to disconnect the Cougar throttle cable from the Cougar joystick base. Then remove the Cougar joystick from the joystick base. Then the only thing left plugged in to the Cougar joystick base is the rudder pedals via the serial port. Then plug the usb cable into your PC. Your Cougar joystick base will serve as an expensive serial to usb adapter that will incorporate your rudder pedals. DCS Warthog will see the Thrustmaster Cougar in the controller column in options right next to the Thrustmaster Warthog listings. You can then configure your rudders.

Hi BelgarionNL, Welcome to the Forums! Here is a link to a YouTube video that I made showing how to interact with the Ground Crew. The audio came out very low, so turn up your volume before watching, and remember to turn your volume back down when your done.

Hi Gun Jam, To answer your autopilot question, make sure you have done the following things in this order: 1) Wait for FULL INS ALIGN. (Look at the CDU page on the right MFCD and wait until the timer reads 4.0 0.8 This will take approx 4 minutes to complete. 2) Once INS is fully aligned, then press the NAV OSB button on the CDU page on the right MFCD 3) Next, press the EGI button on the NMSP panel that is just in front of the stick in the cockpit. ( the view of the stick partially obscures the panel) 4) Now you can arm your EAC and Radar Altimiter, the light will go out on the caution panel. Your 2nd problem, most likely is you need to hit the LOAD button on the UHF radio to enter your frequency changes. Make sure you are hitting the HOTAS MIC SWITCH DOWN to activate the UHF radio. I have a Radio Tutorial in my signature line if you would like to check it out, maybe it will help you get more familiar with the radio's. Good hunting.
