Do you mean change loadout after landing during a mission? You could use the inventory screen for that, but yeah a quick Weapons Page DTS reload would probably be better. Never tried myself.

Track? :) You should get DSMS I think, never actually checked that page till I was fully up, but you will get the "NO Nav Data" message on the TAD until the EGI is fully aligned (4 minute wait) and you've switched to NAV mode on the CDU. You should be able to LOAD ALL once you get DTS Download Complete though as you were, just the TAD won't be fully loaded till later even if all the *s are there again.

Yeah, I think it's more likely that all the work for Mozdok hasn't been finished yet (not only buildings, but ATC also) as opposed to the lack of buildings being the cause of the issue. Play this mission again last night, finally finished it 100% complete and got no score for it. Grr. Mission scoring and credit is really making me angry since it appears to make no sense.

There's a volume knob in the back left panel.

Yeah, I made a few changes to the mission to make it work and seems to run pretty well now. Haven't checked the 4th spawn yet since I got nailed with a SAM during testing. Silly slow calling wingman. :)

I'm not sure that's reflected anywhere in game, but you can see the mission editor paint schemes in the link in my sig.

Slew and Coolie are backwards on the throttle picture.

Less ranting, more understanding. First thing to understand, DCS: A-10C is a study sim. It's not a game, therefore a "beginner's guide" is going to be a much higher level than "Push this, push that" it will assume that you understand that "TMS Forward" means "Push the TMS HOTAS switch forward". It also assumes you know what TMS (Target Management System) and HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick) mean. It's up to you to remember which keyboard commands are mapped to which HOTAS function. It's kind of like someone saying "Press the brake pedal to slow the car" and you asking "But how the hell am I supposed to know which foot to use!? What's a brake pedal!? Do I need a special car?" First thing you need to do is study the HOTAS key mappings so that when someone says TMS Foward you know they mean "LCtrl+Up". You should probably map this to whatever joystick you're using if you can. Second thing is to reference posts like purpjj1's really nice one from eariler today. He broke down the Mav YouTube video from Tygerr in step by step text format, I think that's exactly what you're looking for: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=62525 Mavs are pretty easy once you get the basic steps down. Find the target with the TGP, mark it as SPI, slave your Mav to SPI, slew the Mav to get a lock, rifle! Check out that post I linked, review your keymappings (especially the HOTAS stuff) and try again. You'll get it, just takes some time. :) Edit: You might also like this: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=62548

Tried it again and again didn't find those last Smerches. I also got some really funky navigational things. Looking at the triggers for the mission though, it seems like Smerch 4.1 and 4.2, the last two you're looking for never spawn. All the Smerches are spawned after 1 game day. However once you enter their zones the trigger activates them early. Problem is Smerch 4 zone trigger doesn't include the activate command. The really odd thing is that there are two Smerch 4 group activations, but only when the other group is dead?? I'm trying to figure out the logic for that, perhaps only one of them is supposed to spawn at first, then if it dies the other one is? The mission also is apparently unable to be finished since the winning condition is "Flag 11" but I'm not seeing where that flag is set by anything?

Now ED has to model engine condoms for sure! :thumbup:

Wow, great video! Glad you shared that with us, some fascinating footage there.

Everyone should just get a TM WH and not have to deal with the keyboard anymore to do things. :) heh

Just rclick on a cell in the loadout area and you can choose what you want on the pylon.

I've yet to find those buggers! Looking at the mission in the editor they start out at those coords, then move away into the nearby trees. Even with labels on though I've yet to find them.

1. Coolie Hat Up Short (U key on the keyboard) 2. China Hat Aft Short (C key on the keyboard) 3. China Hat Aft Short (C key on the keyboard) V key will toggle zoom for TGP and Mav.

"Q" key is the keyboard toggle for Autopilot.

Clearly it's the Cobra F.A.N.G. :)

You'll be interested in this DCS: A-10C Cockpit Trainer than. :)

I think Mozdok tower doesn't respond since it, well, doesn't exist! There's no buildings at that airfield, so that's probably why you can't contact it's tower?

I was playing The Serpent's Tail last night where you have a specific time to waypoint you're supposed to keep. I was able to make 1 kph changes in speed with the throttle. It was pretty cool!

None of the default Snapviews are pointed at the radio. There's one for the CDU, but it's slightly off. I'm not sure how to save these views though. I seem to remember reading that saving them doesn't work currently, so haven't really tried to. As for it being difficult to "look down" with TrackIR, I've found that if you center the TrackIR view with your head slightly elevated and facing up that it's easier to look down and back. I'm pretty sure that this is simply due to where I have my IR camera and ProClip situated though.
