Thanks Eddie. :thumbup:

Looking to do more realistic mission planning. Specifically fuel and bingo fuel calculations. :book: With regards to Bingo, is it correct to say that bingo = climb (after combat) + cruise to base + reserve? Looking at the sample inflight data log in the 10A-1 manual (diagram A9-1)... in the example given in this diagram you would add 605 (climb) + 928 (cruise) + 2000 (reserve) for a bingo fuel of 3533 lbs? Is this correct? Thanks

Thanks for the info Gentlemen! Much appreciated. Cheers!

Wondering if anyone has more accurate info on the drag index for external stores on the A-10C... The values below are mainly from the A-10a manual. I've had to guess at some of these ie the AN-AAQ-28 Litening pod which I assigned the same drag index as an AGM-65. Anyone have more accurate info they can share? Drag Index Chart External Store (each) Drag Index 600 Gallon fuel tank 0.86 AN-AAQ-28 0.35 ALQ-131 0.75 LAU-68 (full) 0.27 LAU-68 (empty) 0.79 LAU-117 0.58 LAU-88 0.61 TER-9 0.61 Mk-82 0.20 Mk-82 0.25 Mk-82 AIR 0.26 Mk-84 0.50 CBU-87 1.17 CBU-97 1.17 LUU-2 0.45 GBU-10 0.71 GBU-12 0.51 GBU-38 0.20 GBU-31 0.50 CBU-103 1.17 CBU-105 1.17 AGM-65 0.35 AIM-9 (dual) 0.40

Was wondering about the rattling noise in the Su-27 as well... maybe the gopro cam was loose?

Carrier comes into view around 1:30 mark.

Two S-300 SAM launches. First launch is good, second has a slight malfunction. :smilewink:

I use the virtual cockpit switch and raise and lower the seat to the desired height.

It's not the first time its happened, it probably wont be the last. It certainly highlights the incredible STOL performance of the C-17!

What Smokey said. Make sure your controls are not cross mapped. Makes for interesting flying if they are...

C'mon people, I'm stuck at work... living Combined Arms vicariously through the forum for a few days. Need more first impressions! :helpsmilie: And for crying out loud get some vids up on YouTube! ;) Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

Yeah, I like your idea of greying out the icon to indicate "last known position" of unit.

Sounds like what the OP wants from the AA threats is more human reaction times. I think this will happen when you have human controlled AA. Bring on Combined Arms. :thumbup:

Sounds like an oppourtunity for a third party developer! Imagine... Happy Harry's Headgear is pleased to announce our first independent 3rd party module - "DCS: WWII Allied Pilot headgear". This new module development is not based on a new 3rd party License agreement/support that was not, nor ever will be, announced by TFC/Eagle Dynamics. After several months with focus/study groups we are pleased to announce we are now in a very early pre-alpha state of the "C Type leather flying helmet"! Virtual leather both inside and out is supple and quite comfy for your virtual head. Comes complete with with earphones. Pre orders will receive early access to the beta version of the*Mk IVB flying goggles! Also in development... Inspired by the caps worn by USAAF crews during WWII, the aviator "Trapper" cap is the ultimate headgear for cold weather wear! The outer shell is constructed from genuine virtual leather (which has been "antiqued" to give it that virtual vintage look) and features extra-long fur-lined ear flaps with adjustable chin strap and oxygen mask! Look for further updates in two weeks! ;) And remember, at Happy Harry's Headgear we got you covered (virtually).

For $40 you get the keys to the most incredible virtual P-51D ever built for the home pc. If you are so hung up on a WWII helmet you can buy one on ebay. My understanding is that DCS P-51D gives you access to a WWII fighter. It does not give you a time machine to go back to WWII. ;)

Newly-supplied Russian Pantsyr-1 anti-air missile used to down Turkish warplane. Syria Friday shot down the Turkish Super Phantom jet with the sophisticated self-propelled medium range anti-air Pantsur-1 missile recently supplied by Russia. Short of time to master the improved missile system, the Syrian crews would have called on their Russian instructors to help launch them. http://www.debka.com/article/22112/

If the toggle switch is faulty might be easiest/quickest to simply buy a new one and replace it yourself. Probably voids warranty though...
