FreeTrack is interesting. I have a webcam on my laptop, but I haven't tried it yet.

Yeah, having to reach up high to hit the flare dispenser button is utter FAIL.

One way you can try is scanning the sky with your shkval on 7x mag. Good for picking up helis that are just beyond visual range. Use the helmet mounted sight and the designate key (O) to move large camera distances, then use your curser keys for small movements. If you hold down designate while you move the HMS, the shkval camera will move with it.

You've got to remember, they're heavy cannon rounds. They take a while to get to the target.

Would it be realistic to be able to carry Kh-25s on the inner pylons? One really hates to give up vhikers just to carry two Kh-25s. Since they are not beam riders, but homers, I don't see any reason they would have to be angled precisely at launch like the vhikers.

Don't skins come with 1.02? I think there's a USMC one in the skin section of the mission editor.

I'd go with 1.02. While a few very minor things were broken, a majority of bugs were fixed.

Well, GMT and Turn on Target only work with the shkval ( because you need a target ). If you are using the Helmet Mounted Sight, hitting designate ( O button ) will center the shkval at whatever the sight is hovering over. I think it will do the same without the HMS active. Without the shkval, and only laser on, everything is just a range ( no actual target ), so GMT and TOT don't really work. Gunsight considers any target to be at 1000m and adjusts for such. The shkval just acts as a TV monitor looking down the center of the aircraft in this mode (boresighted).

Any mods that let you carry R73's or such, just for SP fun?

Lol, no weather was summer day, with no wind. Thinking about it, its probably something like the back turbine fan blade that receives power from the jet got a bunch of holes and damage. So, while the engine itself is running fine, the fan is losing energy transfer from it, due to being badly damaged.

Well, as I understand it, when the patch comes out, both aircraft will fly together in the same world. I wonder how Kh-25's work out on runways?

Hah, there is a pipper. Almost straight down. Is that supposed to be there?

The way I see it, its for use when your out of rockets, NEED to shoot close, have no time to use the Shkval, and gotta launch NOW. Safeties off, EMERGENCY FIRE. Better than nothing. Gonna take a look at the "CCIP" thing.

Note to self: Crash chopper into opposing base to stop opposing planes. Then do major sniping with .338 :p

Yeah, it really felt like I didn't have power, yet the engines showed full power at 8000 RPM and the rotors are blazing away! I didn't hear the rotors or the engines slow down any. Seems like something is not being shown right in the damage model. I tried to pull the lasttrack.trk file from the temp folder, but for some reason it shows a mission I haven't flown in a month. Strange. Strange.

Well, I didn't keep the track, but I'm sure it will happen again. Next time I'll save the track. If multiple things are wrong, isn't Ekran supposed to scroll a list? All the Ekran ever kept saying was Radar Alt. No other warning lights on the Master Caution Panel or on the Overhead Panel. Both Engines at full speed, 8000 RPM. Forgot to check if the blades were torquing, but I think they were. I'll keep a track if it happens again. All switches looked fine, and the fire extinguisher section showed no extinguishers ever firing. I can remember, this has happened before.

Hey, guys. I was just flying the quick mission and after a few hits from a ZSU-23, I started going down. No clue why. Both engines still show full power. No warning lights on. Only thing Ekran's bitching about is the radar altimeter. Blades appear to be OK. I just can't stay in the air. Managed to come down slow enough for a hard landing. F2 shows a few holes in the skin, but engines look fine. Rudder has a slight nick. A few panels blown. Nothing critical looking. Had this happen before, and no clue whats wrong. I tried to lift off again, and no go. Copter tries to gain to air, but only manages an inch or two. Blades are spinning hard. WTF? Any way to get data off of the Ekran or such?

Google is your friend. Some quotes from Jane's on armor penetration by the 2A42. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2657026/2.html looks like the rear is even too well armored to be pierced unless your like 10 feet from it.

ReCaptcha is a pretty good one to use. I don't think anyone has been able to get a machine to read it yet.

The best thing to do is trim constantly.

I think its one of those "non-functional" items.

Hey, Sanc. Yeah, thats a very low end video card and its going to have a hard time doing HDR in a complex sim like Warthog. You really just need a better video card. If your playing on a computer with an LCD or LED monitor, your pretty much stuck with your native resolution, and can't make it lower. So, really, your only option is too either switch HDR ( which takes a lot of GPU power) off, or get a better graphics card. Sorry.

ditto.
