Yeah was just looking at how that works. Saw when i made a change, the old input config files remained but the new install made a new set. So what u said makes sense. Will give it a go. Cheers Nate EDIT Worked like a charm.

Just build my new 64 bit rig, and kept the old user/saved games/dcs Warthog folder for transfer. However when i use the old input files, the game wont accept the yaw and pitch assignments for example, from my cougar (you know the way some assignment options greyed out). I have ch pedals, a saitek dash2 and tir. It looks like the game is seeing these as diifferent devices, or has jumbled them around. Is there a fool proof way to import or use a old profile in a new install. I have both the input config files, and a saved lua profile. (don't want to go through configing all again, cause i got all me mfcd's and stuff done for me dash2.). Cheers.

yeah he's really slowing down :lol:

+1 (or whatever your TIR center key is bound to. I use the KP+, since F12 is used in the comms menu).

:lol: Must suffer from reliability problem's then.

And i thought that you were one of those. :cry:

U gotta remember that you have to 'dial' a frequency into the ILS, and some folk could b confused. :thumbup:

Hey Cibit, Just had a quick look at the airbases in DCS, and with the exceptions below, you could assume a 10mile MSA for all the rest. So even in bad weather, you can come down to 2000ft AGL inside the 10 mile threshold, and this should give you enough wriggle room to set up for ILS. You should pick up a 3deg glide slope at about 7 miles at that altitude. On most you might even have 1500ft MSL at 10miles, and you would pick up GS at about 5.5 miles. :) Nalchik 24 and Batumi 30 won't meet the 10 mile MSA rule. (but if wind permitting, you could use the alternate approach to them.) See glideslope intercept altitudes here

5. Get your aircraft configured early, gear speed, aoa, flaps, so when you pick up the GS, you have little else to concentrate on. (well outside 5 miles). I'm sure you meant 'on your course setting knob'...

No not at all stupod. You can upload files to the main ED webpage, from the 'User Files' 'Upload' section.

Ahhhhhhhh Me joystick spring just broke, and replacement's coming from Australia!! So please post some nice 109 trk's in the trk section, so i don't go cold turkey while waiting on it. Cheers :cry:

Hmm, Should'a saved me 108, so i could run all me trk files . :(

Think the older simmers will definitely recognise it, since we spend most of our time 'chasing' fps, as most of the time hardware was well behind the software curve. A good example is to watch a sam approaching, with low fps, it will skip its last frames into your jet. With high fps, it just 'slides' into the jet.

32 bit users have thier high quality textures back. cheers ED. :thumbup: Pity we have to ditch our old trk files though . :(

Agree, .....and you would not be able to tell if it was a bird close by, or a plane far away. And most command guidance systems work on complex lead pursuit geometry, to maximise the kill probability. "Systems without Doppler capability will detect tree leaves blowing in the wind, wavetops, birds, bats, mountains, buildings, clouds, snow flakes, hail, and raindrops. These false signals are called clutter. A 1 degree antenna beam will spread to a width of about 2000 feet by the time it reaches the horizon with a radar height of about 100 feet above the surface. This will illuminate millions of square feet of surface and the target reflection will be buried in the interference. This interference produces thousands of false alarms that will crash computers and overwhelm operators."

Well, if we had a flyable F16 or F18 in DCS, we could be sure of SEAD flights !. But that's for another thread :music_whistling:

And we haven't even mentioned the 'All weather optical tracking system' on later versions of the tor. 'Upgrades have continued over the lifetime of the system, with developer Almaz Antey unveiling the newest incarnation of the Tor missile system, the Tor-M2E,[6] at the MAKS Airshow in 2007. The latest variant features improved fire control radar coverage, and four guidance channels, allowing up to four missiles to be guided at any one time. The Tor-M2E also offers the option of a wheeled chassis, as well as a new digital computer system and all weather optical tracking system' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_missile_system

They are designed to take out fast highly maneueverable aircarft, including some cruise missiles. Our A10 does not even get close to that designation, so they are sitting ducks for the gaunlet. Unless its your job (usually its the SEAD), i would suggest you work your way around it, as soon as it shows up on your RWR, or loiter till the harm's or alarm's take it on. Its got 8 missiles, so you if your prepared to go cat and mouse with it, and keep at the edge of its FCR radar, you might just evade the launches, remembering it can control multiple launches on at once, but missiles are command guided. If you do get a launch warning, get eyes on on the smoke plume asap, and beam (since it uses pulse doppler), dropping chaff, but i guess its not gonna do you much good. If your close to the FCR envelope, put in on your six, and get out of dodge. Hmm. I feel a movie comming on.....:music_whistling:

Boom operator is not so bad IMO. Look at some of the videos, or trks'. Concentrate on position, and not chasing the boom. Like poster above said, once you got it once you got it, cause till then you think there's something wrong. Boom angle is important, you should aim for 45 deg on contact. All the instructions and advice are no substitute for practice. And don't forget to reset the contact request if you have made and broke contact (NWS button). This gets the boom operator to start again. And you gotta have your yaw and pitch control sensitivity reduced. Good luck :smilewink:

Don't think the volume adjusts the microphone. So should not affect you outgoing comms.

You might find the nav videos (link in my sig) a help with it. :smilewink:

Video updated. cheers for that.

Latest in the navigation series. A little longer than previous ones, and consolidates concepts introduced in previous navigation topics. All feedback welcome.

I stand corrected. :huh:
