ya they are nasty

thats one thing about the A-10 thats so cool.... digging in the dirt!

wait, the A-10 has a GUN TOOOOO????????? cool!

I think they show the wingies names just below the main window in F2 view.

I have a couple of friends who are in the same boat as you.. they dont have the free time to devote to A-10. But, they have learned the basics and enjoy it as people do with any hobby. I make missions for us that are usually hot pits and short fly in times. Usually we're done in an hour on a mission i make and its fun. Its so great that there is a company out there making such an incredibly in-depth sim as this.

I moved my HATS around too... a neat feature of the X-65

heres something that I made and has been getting discussed for the X65. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=69610

you sir are a rock star

thanks for the great demo of VAC... Any chance of a guide for setting it up? thanks Jeff

-"White Hot" on your Pod Baby. -Get adept at slewing/zooming -Use markpoints for when you do find targets it sucks when your pod gets "wound up" and has to be reset. -Keep some distance (3 - 5 miles) so your field of view is wider.

yeah, I tried all the alternatives and the TiR really is superior to anything else. I actually met the EE engineer that designed all of them (fixed his PC). not a very interesting guy frankly and he isnt all that proud of it ( he did it as contract work for them) but I met him LOL. Having fun with your new Sim ryyy? LOL

Ive tried dropping bombs at 80 or 90 degrees and sometimes the hit my plane and blow me up.

Ill buy it ONLY if there is a small sculpture of Mower wearing his helmet in the box.

Heres one I made thats generic.. not stick specific if that helps. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=69610

Ahhhhh.... now I can sleep tonight. I cant get my VLC to show it though. cool find... not as cool as finding a bucket of gold but hey... its a find none-the-less

i like pizza ... But arality Im not so sure about LOL

I didnt hear anything funny... but alas, Im a Dolt

could you maybe use a "deactivate/activate AI" command with an hour timer?

Hmmmm... maybe something needs to be copied or created into a .lua file? Just a thought... maybe the sa-19 [tunguska?] ( I think, the one that convoys and shoots missles) properties can somehow be adapted into the mission with the time delay & convoy capabilites you want.

StrongHarm made a mission that had a ton of units battling and it was specatacular (i think about 200 units) but it was very laggy. The burning vehicles was the easiest thing to see....very cool.

as requested, I am uploading my Saitek x65 profile. You should find it is fairly close to the LAST version of the HOTAS profile that I made. hope it helps jeff A!0C.zip

Hmmmm.... the staff is quiet on this one. They most likely wanted to murder about 75% of us during the Betas. LOL the Beta was great for me and Im really happy they did it.

I have one too and I like it in many ways... the coolest thing is how you can change the amount of force you use on the fly. I keep mine turned up fairly high when im airborne and you have to pull pretty hard on the stick... kinda like force feedback.... adds immersion. The metal stick and throttle feel like cold steel in your hand. the quality is decent but nowhere near the warthog. the plug that goes into the throttle is really shitty. Take a look at CH sticks, they are very good quality and fair priced. I messed around with (and wasted a lot of time) with facetrack. Had a great webcam and lots of light on my face (150w spotlight) and it was like i drank 3 bottle of ripple! wavering all over the place... terrible and unusable. I messed around extensively with freetrack too... sucked. I finally sold out and joined the borg (after all resistance really is futile when it comes to a TIR) and its great stuff... very stable and accurate. get the TIR 5... the sensor on it is better and more accurate which helps when looking at your gauges or the ground for targets. congrats on your landing (sigh, I wish I could go back to the first time I got in the ole A-10)... enjoy the sim!

also I use the "quick view" to bring up the MFD with your pod and make it big. ( I remapped my "NumLock" key to bring up the quick views, then I hit "6" on the keypad... its great and handy) Generally the pod is a lot of work to use and find targets... I tend to use white hot the most. You'll get pretty adept at using your HOTAS buttons while searching... feels like clapton playing a rip on his guitar some days LOL.

combat helo (an Apache sim) is coming along nicely. Its going to release a closed beta in the near future and progress forward. the info is at simHQ ... http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/216/1/Combat_Helo.html
