His RWR will pick your radar emissions disregarding your bearing from him. (Unless he is banking and his RWR receiver antenas are masked) If you mean if his radar can detect you when you are at his 6, no he won't. (Unless it is an awacs) STT is a different alert, and also there is another different alert for Missile Lauches

I'm having problems retracting the refueling probe on the Su33 with the latest update. I'm don't know it this is the real Su33 behavior or if it is a bug. After completing the refuel and disconnecting from the tanker, pressing Ctrl+R only disconnects the new RF autopilot. Te probe doesn't retract inmediatly. It will retract however after a bit of flying around, several minutes afterwards, haven't timed it. Anyone else is having the same problem?

It's a good read, not so much about the harrier caracteristics but about what was like flying CAS missions over Afganistán, and how mentaly taxing the situation was. Also, it was interesting to read about the effect the high altitude of the terrain in Afg. has on the jets, due to the air's lower density and the temperature. It is something that at least myself haven't got into consideration. I'm looking forward to flying the harrier

Well, I've just finished it and I really enjoyed it. It has a good storyline, a good gradual difficulty increase and a credible air environment. It is not a difficult campaign, but it is very good to understand the combat potential of the Mirage and its weak points. Excelent job baltic, looking forward to the eagle's and hog campaings. day one buyer. :pilotfly:

Make sure you dont have your trackIR Z axis mapped to the zoom view.

Thanks mrxels!

I dont think the chandelle as a common combat manouver .. you will be a sitting duck once you roll your wings level. Also, I don't recall reading anywere that it was a prohibited manouver for the spid though. Snap-rolls where not allowed, but chandelles ... Will try doing a chandelle with it when I arrive home, but you shouldn't be stalling the plane on a chandelle ... How much boost and RPMs are "half throttle" (to have a reference point)?

Yea, I'm looking forward to this campaign too. I consider myself "seasoned" on the A10C, but it's been a while since I don't fly it seriusly and now I expend most of my time in other modules. I'm sure I've forgoten a lot of things about, let call it, "the proper way to do things on the hog". I think If the campaign follows a similar rythm as the M2K one, it will be on the proper balance of topics discused vs flight time expended. Also the hog being slower allows for more content included on each misión.

If you are using your computer only for DCS (+ other games), surfing internet and MSOffice, then yea, its a no brainer: grab the i5 and save some bucks. DCS will not use all the cores of the processor, so you won't notice a big difference between an i5 and an i7 at similar speeds (Cache, and temp throttling are usually better on i7) On multicore optimized games, i7 will perform better *Edit: also, DCS depends more on CPU than on GPU, it does not use the GFX to their max capabilities, so there is a level where a better GFX wont make a lot of difference in this game. If you are planning to use it for other applications ... Video editing, Programing, Image editing, 3d design, MathLabs, complex calculations... or you tend to have a lot of apps running at the same time, i7 is the answer. It depends how much you value your time ... a 10% difference in a process that takes hours to complete, its a lot of difference. Compressing videos for instance, compiling huge applications (as a developer). In those cases, for me the answer is yes. For gaming only, I'm not sure...

+1 Having a pilot body is nice when flying VR

You go to the runway header where the 30 is painted. You will take-off on heading 300. Edit: The same applies on landing, when ATC vectors you to runway 30, you will land in that heading. 300.

If you are looking for a book reference, then the manual should be your main reference. But in my experience, a seasoned IP is worth a 100 books ... Also, take a look at this post: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=165469 Their SOP manual is very good Edit: Also you will find a lot of info on the sticky threads on this section DCS A-10C QUESTIONS 476TTP 3-3.A10 Combat Aircraft Fundamentals - Public Release A-10C manuals and documents collection / DCS: A-10C Tutorial Collection (PDF´s and Videos)

You should have the airport as a waypoint, either by misión design, or accesing it via nav system... anyway lets go to the basics. As Xavven said, do the training missions, you'll learn a lot. Also, i want to stress that the A10C is a complex A/C. You MUST read the manual in order to be proficient with it Also, I'll suggest that you don't go for a straight in approach, try flying a standard VFR pattern, overfly the runway, and start the circuit. Keep the pattern work until you feel confident with your landing technique. If you find you are all over the place on the final approach (unstable), just apply power, go arround and reset. There is no shame in going arround and trying again. A trk/vid of your landings will be great so we can help you polishing your flying skills. Just dont give up, with a bit of practice landings will be second nature for you, trust me. We all have been there...

Oh mon petit clo-clo ... Yea, I memorized that mnemotecnic rule from the book also :) We just need his wing-mate scarf, you know, the one with "climb up here and you'll se Montmartre"
