That is a LOT of helicopters. Nice video! :)

Can you change curves on the fly? Because a curve of 30-50 means I can't control my plane without tumbling your stick during the other 99.9% of my flight. I tried a curve of 25 one night and I was barely able to maneuver or turn/bank without drastic stick movement and lost a lot of control over my plane. Basically like flying through mud. Sure things were smooth, but everything was slow.

This is my problem too. I'll extend out for a ridiculously long time then glance down at my TGP and I'm only 3.1nm away from my target. :joystick:

Just upload it somewhere like mediafire.

I'd ask this guy:

Shouldn't you start the campaign from the Campaign option and not just running the missions directly?

I've never once looked at RPM while taking off. I'm usually too busy trying not to careen off the runway or trying not to hit the invisible texture line that will rip my nose wheel off. :)

What LostOblivion isn't telling you is that his friend is imaginary and that's why he's OK with a stick that doesn't move. Warthog will make you popular with the ladies and you'll smell better in elevators. Guaranteed!

I tried it tonight for the first time. By the time I was aligned the three planes were almost on me. I let the C-130 is it go ahead of me but the two fighters stopped. So I asked for permission to taxi, got it, and took off. My wingman followed behind then the two fighters followed after him.

Try above 17,000ft to counter the SA-8 Osa. Also make sure you're using SAM1 jammer.

Lulu does good work. I've ordered books from them before and they've been good quality.

I've been making a lot of use of snapviews too. RCtrl+NumPad0 then Numpad 1 for Radios, 4 for Left MFD, 6 for Right MFD, 2 for CDU, 3 for ILS panel. I'd suggest actually swapping the mapping so that RCtrl+Num0 = glance and just NumPad0 is toggle the view mode so you can just hit 01 and see your radios or 06 and get a full screen TGP view or something.

Pretty sure you need to create a new waypoint first (the 3? button on the bottom right of the MFD on the Waypoint page) then enter the coords. The first time you make one you don't need to make the waypoint first, but the second it seems you do, so I've taken to always just making one first via the (nextWaypointNumber)? OSB.

Haven't had any crashes on the iPad, but my old pre-3GS iPhone consistently crashed trying to bring up any of the airport diagrams or any of that kind of "PDF" or "image" views. Then again it's a pre-3GS iPhone so should be shunned. Oct 4 can't come fast enough! :)

It's amazing. You want it. :)

Voted yes and pre-ordered the US version on the 15th. :)

Don't think there's really problems with the X52, mostly just that there's not enough hat switches to match how many the A-10 has so there's a lot of "This Plus That" kind of mapping you need to do. When I had one I used SF Jack Bauer's config and had a lot of luck with it.

To check your version open the Mission Editor then click on MISC and Credits. To be honest though, I'd just download the full 1.1.0.9 version and install that using your DVD's key. No sense in patching, then patching then patching when you can just install once.

I certainly can't! :)

Or a six hour loiter time AFAC! :joystick: :pilotfly:

One suggestion might be a takeoff weight calculator. Put in your percentage fuel and your load out and it tells you the takeoff and landing speeds for full and empty weights. I know we change our loadouts a lot during missions and being able to quickly figure that out on the fly would be useful. Having a "customize loadout" interface like the mission editor where you can save loadouts would be ridiculously useful. Fill in your common loads then have a select 25/50/75/100 fuel and see at a glance.

Two stage trigger (for PAC and fun) Weapon Release (obviously) TMS Up and Down and Right (for setting and resetting SPI) DMS Up and Down (For zooming TGP and changing steerpoints - add left and right for switching weapons and sharing SPI if you have enough hats) Nosewheel Steering (For NWS and laser and refueling) Trim if you have enough hats (Trim can be handy, but I went a long time without using it, but it's really useful once you learn it) AutoPilot 3 way switch and toggle button (I use this all the time) China Hat Forward and Back (constantly used for everything) Slew mouse (TGP/TAD/MAV everything) Master Weapons Mode (single button to change between weapon modes) Coolie Hat (for changing SOI - three way hatswitch basically) For what I do those are the critical buttons I use all the time. Others are ridiclously handy to have on HOTAS, like gear, flaps, speedbreak, CMS, zoom, mic switch, lights switch, but maybe not critical.

TrackIR will save you from this problem and elaborate key mappings for view issues. :)

Gotta remember the A-10 is basically an armored bathtub strapped onto a flying gun more than it's an airplane. :)

Not locking, but you can boresight fire them like rockets and sometimes hit something. Then again I used a GBU-12 on a helo the other night, so it's all fair. ;)
