Anyone up for a challenge with this? Cheers James

Yeah I've had this a few times mostly over Sinai and running MT. Almost like half of the screen goes black for a frame, like a really bad screen tearing. This maybe? Flickering in MT? https://forum.dcs.world/topic/328230-flickering-in-mt/ Cheers James

Tally 4 o'clock low Pennywise Livery by lee1hy : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331730/

I've been setting the ALAS to 14 seconds as per recommendations for A-10C , seemed to work better for me than just using CONT ALAS especially @>15k ft release where it might be lasing for 30+ seconds Cheers James

Ahh OK it looked like you might have tweaked the engine nozzles metal shades and bits as well but I'm no skinner so probably wrong Anyway looking forward to more of your skins Cheers James

Nice! Thanks....Off to download... Are you planning on doing the full overhaul on the F-15 like you did on the F-16/F-18 in particular, to give them that extra detail and character? Cheers James

Hi lee1hy, Another great livery, I saw you were going to tweak some bits after feedback, are you still doing that or is that on hold too? Cheers James

Not sure if this is just WIP or a bug but I noticed the wipers don't seem to clear rain from the windshields? Cheers James

Love this idea and not just for the F-14, appreciate there will need to be some concessions but would love to see more of our talented skinners focussing on real world CSG/CVW livery packs as you suggest..Not just the aircraft but the accompanying ships. Would be great to have templates for various CSG made up for various decades, 90s, 00s, 2010, modern day you could plonk into the relevant theatre that had the appropriate lead CVN, appropriate air wings embarked etc..(Airframes not present in DCS aside):thumbup:

SMS/Stores page the one with the aircraft planform, then just box using the OSBs - GUN, LO (rate of fire) and PGU (Ammo type being computed for I believe) Cheers

Just tried the instant action ground attack practice in Syria and the gun was in LO, PGU mode and firing well high of the pipper as described above...Restarted the sim and started the same mission and the pipper was OK again so seems intermittent Cheers

So from Wags' post https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/english/digital-combat-simulator/dcs-f-16c-viper/242691-planned-f-16c-systems-and-payloads He mentions BRU-57/A Smart Rack which looks very similar to me (functionality wise) to googled BRU-33, but I'm sure one of the rack experts will chime in and qualify.. In fact fas.org says this on it's BRU-55/57 page "The Air Force's BRU-55A/A consists of the BRU-33 strongback (GFE from the Navy), 2 x BRU-46 ejector units, and electronics (being developed under the EMD contract)." Cheers JH

Yeah sounds epic, loving the hog right now, reminds me of how good DCS can be when its done right

https://i1.wp.com/theaviationist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/A-10-departing-tanker.jpg?ssl=1 Here you go... Cheers JH Added full article link https://theaviationist.com/2017/04/24/new-photos-of-u-s-a-10-thunderbolt-ii-refueling-during-anti-isis-mission-show-interesting-weapons-loadout/

And then there's the guys that take the tank killer name literally....Which is cool too :lol: Surprised he doesn't drop the pod and squeeze another 97 on there, could get 401? :thumbup:

Ha ha nothing secret, just as you said really - temptation is to load the hog up with triple 54s, Mavs and APKWS but I think it's actually more fun grabbing a loadout from a Youtube AAR video or photos from Hogs in Syria/Afghan recently...Bit more milsim style...For me with a mixed weapon loadout you have to match the weapon to the target more and prioritise.... What I've found interesting is how many aircraft I've seen loaded out on videos with GBU-12s/38s despite the 54 in theory being the latest and greatest...Assuming when they load up the aircraft they have "back stock" of kits they need to use and they don't just chuck away perfectly good GPS/Laser kits in favour of the new ones? Presumably all comes down to target planning and cost (the latter obviously we don't need to care about in sim). Will be interesting to see if the campaign engine restricts certain weapons to simulate availability/cost constraints as part of the challenge to force you to plan properly Cheers James

Post your favourite (realistic-ish) A-10C II Load outs here; This is mine, based on some fairly recent AAR refuelling videos I've seen, gives good flexibility for most circumstances (no AA threat to cater for). Seems to be a fairly common loadout too, maybe swap the GBU-12s from stations 1&11 to 5&7 and move the GBUs to stations 4&8 GBU-12 APKWS AGM-65L Empty GBU-54 Empty GBU-38 Empty AGM-65D Litening Pod GBU-12 Cheers James

Yeah some as the default mappings for TM Warthog are borked, I had to remap trigger stage 1 to PAC and 2 to fire as Snoopy mentions.. Cheers James

It is for me at least in as such as it only stabilises your pitch, not roll or yaw...At least that's how I remember it working Cheers JH

Ah nevermind just watched Lord Wag's video again and wasn't slewing the designation cursor before hitting the right was just looking at something, putting the cross over it and hitting tms right

This is weird as I'm on trackir and flat panel and I see a similar issue when creating mark points with the hmcs as soi, ie the mark point is created down and to the right of the crosshair rather than directly underneath it...Need to try the same suggestions as the hmcs boresight page in stat menu doesn't seem to do anything? Cheers James

Agreed. Yeah well done Kate and team, liking the pragmatism here

From Wag's latest mini update... Air-to-Ground Ranging (AGR) radar mode Air-to-ground ranging (AGR) mode is an indirect radar mode—it is commanded automatically by the MC when deemed necessary and cannot be directly selected. Its purpose is to provide slant range to an aimpoint to allow a more precise calculation of altitude above target. When commanded, the AGR legend will appear on the HUD and the RDR ATTK format will display the AGR sub-format. If the radar was operating in MAP mode, it's possible to exit AGR mode and return to MAP by assigning TDC priority to the RDR ATTK format.

It's on the list...When is a different matter :-) https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4269028&postcount=2

Been watching this with interest as I too am disappointed with the quality and progress with the Harrier particularly the sound set which I consider truly unique for the Harrier in real life. I thought I'd read someone had been subcontracted to do a complete overhaul of the sounds but that seems to have fallen by the wayside.. Also a little surprised and disappointed to hear that with all the positive effort Kate and Nick (and the team in general) have put in recently into restoring their customers faith in the platform and the QA being applied after the recent stability issues, that ED allow a 3rd party supplier who's priority it is to sell new modules (as per the early access business model), announce when they think the quality bar has been met? Surely ED should be running the rule over all of the releases and applying their own high standards to 3rd parties too? As we saw with VEAO it is ultimately ED staff that have to pick up the pieces, publicly, on their own branded forums. Maybe those who are quietly disappointed with the product and don't fly it anywhere near as much as a "corner stone product" (to agree with and quote nineline) should be doing, along with not pre purchasing any more products should opt into EDs DCS client usage statistics gathering, so ED can see just how unpopular poor quality products are? Maybe it's still the 2nd or third most popular model in terms of sales and in game usage and therefore as a pure product still a shining star for ED/Razbam? Or maybe it's time to do some surveys on the perceived value for money/quality or even priority list as was done for the Hornet/F-16 road maps, for all modules - not just the F-18/16, after all they are all representing the ED brand as well as their own.. Hoping we all get the Harrier we know, love and want (and paid) for but based on past experience as a Hawk customer not holding my breath. Please prove me wrong ED and particularly Razbam, you've still got a chance to pull this one back if you care enough. Cheers James
