  1. So that makes using Mavericks even more difficult in real life!
  2. As a photographer, I can say that for me, this image is not FLIR. Its is a Highly contrasted BW image, more like the result of a Light Intensifier Camera. And more than that. Trees dont have heat of their own like mammals, so they would be at the same temperature as the enviroment that surrounds it. And one last thing. If that wasnt enough, that Hummvee has a very uniform heat signature. In real life, the engine bay would be hotter that its body for example, unless of course you adjust "levels" squeezing out all the hightlights. This is FLIR Here you can even identify what vehicles are active, those which were recently used and those parked for an extended time.
  3. It not worth it unless you have a pumped up Mac Pro. I speak for myself but I bought a new macbook pro last november, and playing under Bootcamp W7 64bits I can get the game to run almost smooth. I suppose that by running under emulators like Parallels or anything of tha sort will rest it unplayable or at least not as good as by simply running from bootcamp which isnt that big deal anyways.
  4. As far as I understood, the procedure to attack multiple targets in one run using either Bombs or Mavericks is: 1- Recon the area with TGPod from a stand off position and "mark targets" (TMS Right Short) 2- Select Mark in CDU instead of Flight For Mavericks: 3- Load Maverick profile using either DSMS or HUD DMS Lft/Rgt (?) to cycle weapons profile 4- Select target (marks) using HUD rocker or (HUD DMS Fwd/Bck) 5- Coolie Right to select MAV 6- Slave all to SPI to (China Fwd Long) 7- Lock and Fire 8- Repeat from step 4 if targets are halted or 9- Stabilize (TMS aft) and Slew/Lock/Fire at remaining targets For INS guided bombs: 3- Load up the weapon profile using either DSMS or HUD cycle 4- Start CMS run in program 5- Select target (marks) using HUD rocker or (HUD DMS Fwd/Bck) 6- Release Weapon 7- Repeat from step 5 and attack remaining targets is it correct? cheers
  5. I still didnt read the CDU chapter so I´m loosing a few steps here. Would someone be kind enough and explain the steps involving the use of the CDU, right after clicking TMS Right Short (to Mark Points) and before Selecting MARK instead of FLIGHT in CDU. Cheers
  6. 3 mins after learning. 10 mins when still learning, that means, 10 mins less flying when girlfriend´s arriving in 10 mins!! :smilewink:
  7. The one in the docs folder reads v0.9 I thought a final version would be called v1?
  8. Thanks for the answers guys, appreciated!
  9. My suggestion is to print yourself, specially if you own a Printer capable of printing Duplex. I´ve tried with my canon mp560 using Acrobat Readers Booklet Printing and it works like a charm! http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332720.html#main_Print%20multiple%20pages%20per%20sheet
  10. Can someone explain the differences between them? I reckon they're both designed for the same purpose, both day/night, all weather armor eating machines, but then, why does the russians need 2 different attack helo to execute the same mission?
  11. Brasileiro? Que coincidencia, valeu pela resposta tao rapida, escrevo em ingles agora pra que todos entendam. I've tried using the keyboard assigned trimming control, but it seems that as soon as I moved the stick again, bam, nose up continually
  12. Hi guys, I've been away from flight sims since LB2 and F15, so I'm a little bit off with these modern sims. I recently bought a new computer, the new macbook pro 2.66 and tried some modern games, like arma2. I was really surprised of how smooth it ran so I decided to try my way back into sims and bought also a CH Fighterstick and Pro Throttle. Plugged the fighterstick directly into a USB port and all the other peripherals (keyboard, mouse, SB Codemeter dongle, TIR and CH Pro Throttle) into a USB 7port powered hub connected to the remaining usb port...Its a shame MBP only get 2 usb ports, but well, it works. A few days ago I decided to try the DCS A-10C, downloaded and then bought the license, installed and ran. At 1920x1080 it runs smoothly to my surprise, that's all looking good. Then I decided to try the Hotas system but something wierd is happening. I've already calibrated it more times than I can count. Last night I used to calibrate and then ingame, after first dive, re calibrate again. So I decided to plug it in directly into a USB Port instead of the Hub, no more discalibration but the throttle which remains in the usb hub never showed this problem tho. If that seems as if the problem was solved there, no, I'm getting a wierd behavior still while using the fighterstick. When trying the first training mission that one is able to fly, the taxing and basic maneuvers, just after take off, when trying to fly level, the plane is always going up. I checked the gear up, no airbrakes i reckon and no flaps, tho looking from outside, there is a small tip up coming out from them outside flaps. Is this normal? So I checked the calibration again, and it was okay, and tried again: Same behavior. I then decided to try to control it via keyboard, and it flown stabilized only until I moved the stick again. Is it a normal behavior?
  13. How about an AH64D I think that everybody would be happy with that. We´re still waiting for it.
