Ok thanks didn't know that... hopefully can add the old big smoke LUA files and they still work with 2.5 , what will it take to add a slider for more vehicle smoke ??

Smoking vehicle smoke density ? Ok was really looking forward to all the bells and whistles of 2.5 and after seeing the awesome video for the F18 and the big plumes of smoke coming off of burning objects ... was disappointed when I finally fired up 2.5 and with my trust harrier went and rifled a BTR -80 and got the lamest smoke effect I've ever seen.. now went back into the graphics options and saw chimney smoke density slider ! but nothing for the smoke on carnage of destroyed vehicles... when they make these cool promotional videos they must dress up the smoke effects.. cause I sure don't see them... Sorry, yes thanks for 2.5 it looks great and runs smooth on my paltry mobility 880m

Did you give it enough time , mine seemed like it froze up when copying files from 2.2 but eventually started download

I pre purchased right away due to me waiting years for it , but I missed the part about early access to the module after this spring , I read in the product description the module could be downloaded and installed now ... oh well got it for 60 bucks and still too busy with Harrier to start a new module anyways

But when can we download the module ???

I pre-purchased but the module doesn't show for download, guess we have to wait ....

LOL at least the Dino’s deaths weren’t for nothing ;-P

Thanks it sure would be nice to use the TPOD independently from DMT like on the A10 find a target lock it lase it and LGBU it and hopefully have the MAvs slaved to it also like the DMT

I can get the TPOD locked onto target and I hit the SAFe LSK key and click on LRNG key and sometimes get the steady L bottom right corner of TPOD target box but GBUs are not guided nor does the L flash designating it’s being lased sorry if I missed this if it’s not completed yet anyone have luck with TPOD lasing targets ? Thanks

Well you've already decided to buy the module but I have to say I haven't spent this much time in a flight sim for a long time, it's just so much fun doing a mission, coming back light, and hovering around the airfield and actually be able to park next to something ... this took many many hours and a fine, sensitive joystick to accomplish. But wow is it addicting, and I like to hover with the top down ( or back ) :-)) Oh and I find 83 on the nozzles perfect for VTOL

yes it's called 99 degree nozzles !

Ok I'll try to get a track file just wondered if there was something simple I was missing and if somebody else was having the same problem

I'm still having trouble with the vikhrs, but my other laser guided missiles work perfect. I lock target , turn laser ranging on, get the little circle in big circle , keep it steady and get steady LA launch authorization, but 95 percent of the time the missile goes dumb into the dirt.. I had this problem in the Black Shark and it was the laser overheating and failing... but in the su25t I only use the laser in short intervals, and after long intervals it flashes L after I turn it off anf it goes into cooling ..I still think it's something to do with laser....

Hi .. had this problem in Blackshark also, I get a target locked up, laser on, get the flashing LA launch authorization, fire the missile, but it goes "dumb" and flies into the ground well short of target... but sometimes it works and flies the laser to the target. Is this a programming glitch or something I'm doing wrong? I used to think it was the AI spoofing my laser ... any comments?

How do you open a LUA file?

thanks Nate I owe you a Guiness!

that's what anti skid is for, make sure it is on, or you will blow your tires and overheat brakes...

how do you turn on your NVG????

the hardest thing for me is finding targets without the labels on. It's really hard to pick them up at 15 to 20 miles out with the targeting pod, in FLIR modes. Learn to use the F10 map and find your targets on there, or have JTAC give yo the coordinates and learn how to enter them into your CDU to create a waypoint. Or have a buddy you're flying with share his target location with you by broadcasting his SPI. Lots to learn in this sim, and unfortunately I'm flying with some guys online who've had this sim from day one and are aces at it, and it's hard to fly with them when you're still having some hard times with things. Always look for the training missons under available multiplayer games, you'll see them from time to time... good luck!

thx a million guys i knew it was in there somewhere!

where can I find a pictorial list of all the enemies, and what they are named.. ie I know what the zsu 23-4 looks like, but the others I can lock up, I know they are a SAM unit, but I'd like to be able to identify them BEFORE my RWR starts screaming at me! Didn't see anything in the manual at this point, I guess I could look up russian hardware on the net, though I thought maybe yo guys would have a nice little cheat sheet... thx, pooch
