Great advice! Do you mind elaborating on how to perform a slideslip?

Just want to thank everyone for their help with the autopilot/flying. I managed to finish Death Valley after about 5 tries. Got 6 ground kills, and even dodged a Surface to Air missle which was exciting. Managed to RTB and even land the damn thing, although I think ATC was cursing me.. it wasn't pretty. I've got VIKHR and Cannon dialed in.. but need some serious work on rockets.

Wow, thanks! Was it hard to do? I guess I need to spend some time in the ME!

I tried this, but whenever I try and delete a wingman it deletes the whole flight.

Awesome, that makes total sense. Thanks! I didn't know about the collective break, perhaps I should be mapping that to my HOTAS.

I really like this mission, and tried to convert it to MP in the mission editor but couldn't get it to work. Can anyone give me tips how, or do it for me:music_whistling: I really just want a 2 player version to play with a buddy. It's a nice shortish, mission.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I didn't want to start a new one. Last night I was trying Route Mode for the first time on Death Valley, and it seemed to fly me quite high. When I approached the waypoint from which I was to commence my attack, I tried to make a descent. Apparantly I did so to fast, because something happened and I just continued to descend until I crashed. None of my collective inputs mattered, although my rotors were still spinning. I'm assuming I descended too fast. I guess my question is twofold: 1. How is flight elevation handled in route mode? 2. How do you make a controlled descent. Obviously if I pitch the aircraft forward I gain speed.

I'm not sure if it's doable with your style of mission, but perhaps a landing/shutdown tutorial?

Thanks for all of your help all. I spent an hour tonight getting familiar with the AP systems. Turns out I was trying to hover without them. I can now get myself into a nice hover, and maintain it most of the time. I was literally raining FIRE on those chumps at the shooting range! Now for my next question. What's the best technique for starting a controlled attack run from a hover? Like when I've exhausted my Vikhrs, and want to come in with rockets and cannons.

After doing some more reading (thanks), it seems I'm trying to initiate hover hold, before actually getting the chopper in a proper hover manually.

OK, sounds like I need to practice maintaining a hover just with pilot input. Thanks all, this is helpful.

That's very helpful. At any time, should I be engaging the autohover/hover hold?

Thanks Nate. I'm going to print out the flight maneuver section of the manual, and run through those.

I'm getting fairly proficient with the weapons systems.. but goddamit, I can not fly this thing worth a damn. I'm having a ton of trouble setting up in a nice stable hover, so that I can actually deploy the weapons. It seems like I try and get setup to scan for targets and shoot, but I'm constantly fighting the bird to stay put. I watch some videos on youtube, and some of the training missions and the bird is in a basically perfect hover. Any tips on hovering, and also evasive maneuvers?

I use the one that Suchacz posted, along with http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=58484 this profile for A-10 in SST. It maps the Shkval slew to the thumbstick on the trottle. I then change the hat on the stick to countermeasures, and track IR stuff.

Played these last night.. gotta say they are amazing. Nice and short and to the point, perfect for a quick refresher if you are away from the sim for a while. Keep it up!!

I'm struggling with how to get this working. I have it on my hat switch on the stick.. and it's too hard to deal with while trying to hover, and trim. Am I to understand if I download SFJackBauer's A-10 profile, it will just work? I can leave all my other mapings in game?

These are awesome.. thanks!

OH man, this sounds fantastic. I really hope I can watch the stream somewhere.

This sounds fantastic, but I can't make it. So will the capture be avail. as a download? Or on a site? Cheers!

Video doesn't work, but thanks... I'll give them a shot.

These look great. Do the missions contain text/voice to help with the training?
