Worth the money when it works and you get it set up right yes..

Track IR 5 with latest beta software. I have the track clip pro. Whenever I try and simulate looking down at my radio equipment it locks even in the track IR software the orange light goes off on the bottom right side. It never did that before in the older version. I've moved the viewer it is centered fine... just can't seem to get it to work when you look down and left.. anyone else have this problem?

I'll see. I just did a full mission and the track IR crashed on me at the end. I had the same problems again.. I think this has something to do with the difference between the TMS up short and long.. I had steerpoint as SPI, slaved all to that area, picked a target with the TGP locked it.. then set it as the SPI. Switch to maverick, tried to slave all to SPI. The Maverick would in fact slew to the target but sometimes it puts the crosshairs on it sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it is a wide bracket with no crosshairs. I hit TMS up Short many times it just won't lock and it'll be under 8 miles within the range thing on the left side. Sometimes I have to sit and wait for about a minute before it'll lock.. it'll do it all on its own. This seems to happen mainly in campaigns. I'm going to run an instant action mission to see if I can reproduce in a short track.

Still having issues last night myself again. Was getting quite frustrating. I have a wedding cake in the area set up from the JTAC coordinates. I slave all to that SPI. Then I switch to TGP (as SOI) slew and find a target. If I can't lock it I turn towards the target and lock it with TMS UP two times until I get a square. I switch to maverick, make sure its SOI. I hit china hat forward long (V) and I will in most cases see its crosshairs on the target but NOT locked. Sometimes there are NO crosshairs. I hit TMS UP to try and force it to lock and it never works, even if the seekers head is in the field of view and I'm pointed right at it and in range. It just seems to work sometimes and other times it doesnt. So I slew he mav off the area and back onto the target to get a lock and shoot. That is the problem I'm having. Probably due to some misunderstanding of how this is supposed to work?

Ahh nice trick I'll try it out. I was able to get the H working. There is just some confusion to the SPI and inability to get things to slave to the SPI.

Have similar problems.. I was playing with it last night with all sorts of problems. It seems to be only with the H model maverick though. I have to have my nose pointed somewhat at the target to get the TGP to actually lock something with TMS UP SHORT... then I hold V, go to MAV usually still not locked up.. ahve to hold V again. Just doesnt want to work usually. I try TMS UP it won't lock. Worked fine with the D model though. (and yes I'm setting up the MAV as SOI)

It wont take long.. just do a little every day and soon enough you'll get the hang of it. That is the fun of it... that every day there is something new to learn. Last night I learned that ATC in online play isn't working right. I was cleared for a landing and ran right into someone taking off.. lol

Now that is classic..

Yeah that is cheap... considering the old Phoenix missile used to be a million dollars a shot..

Geesh didnt even know about the reputation thingy.. Just found it. Cool. Thanks for this! I wish I had a color printer!

One thing never taken into account here is that we can load up whatever we want in a campaign. Shouldn't there be requirements to use certain things and we actually have a "store" of limited munitions? I'd say early in the campaign there should be a lot available but as the campaign goes on you have to really be choosy not to use up all the JDAMs early etc. They are the most expensive!

I noticed it is definitely better in many regards but in campaigns it is still pretty choppy. I tried lowering my rez to 1400x900 and some other settings it didnt help much. Too many objects methinks. For single missions it is fantastic! Nice and smooth.

Was your APU on? Or your systems were on battery power?

I know I've read the manual I've turned it to HM and hit the button I just haven't spent a lot of time trying. I know you have to use the intercom it is just figuring it out in the right combination.

Thanks I've usually marked the targets then china hat forward long, then switch to mavericks but it would never launch I'd have to slew. I never knew about having to hit TMS up short. I'll try that tonight thanks.

If you can get declassified data on the Raptor that would be fun to fly.. :) A little overpowering though. Nothing can touch them..

Most of the time we are flying from waypoint to way point. When you fence in you contact Jtac and follow their commands. Realisticaly how would you know whether other flights have destroyed the air defenses? As for the TGP I do that, but when I switch to the maverick and slave all it looks locked but the crosshairs are not all the way down usually. So I don't fire it. I usually have to move the slew a tiny bit to get it to lock.. But my slew sucks on thie X52

Great thanks :)

What plates? The manual didnt come with any? I didnt see any..

Yeah I get stutters still when I get really close to the ground.. Especially when I'm lawn darting..

15k and you are still sitting duck for sams.. Please stop it with the Eagle references.. I think we get the hint now :) :)

This gives us a sort of safer approach at low alts. I can never get in range to drop bombs without getting shot at by sams or something. Have to stay low and out of range. Using mavericks are good but hard to pinpoint specific targets out of a group with the maverick seeker. I mean the TGP I can zoom in much further and ID a target and then switch to maverick but you still kinda have to slew it to get it to lock up. I have such a hard time with that.. just me. So I usually can never pick out individual targets with the maverick seeker. Just tiny little dots to me. I'm sure toss bombing isn't too accurate.. but it would be fun to drop some cbu's in that way...

Can someone demonstrate how it is done on Youtube for us? Including the setup. I've yet to see if done by anyone. Is it even possible in the A10 ? I think I read about that in the manual.

Label Request This'll get added to the other thread most likely but at least this might get some attention. I guess it isn't too too hard to modify in some files I dont know about. But if it were in game it would help. I'd like the ability to have separate radio checkboxes for Labels 1) Friendly air 2) Friendly ground 3) Enemy air 4) Enemy ground Also a radio button for size whether its just a dot or whether it has text. Radio button if you want to see range.. Personally all the labels I really need help with to visually acquire and compensate for targets is the red dot. The rest is nice but I don't need and may even affect performance. I dont know how hard that would be to code.. but if it is easy it would help some of us newbs..

Thats my point. I try not to use F10 much because its kinda cheating really.. I mean real pilots get to know the base ahead of time so it will come with experience so I guess I should use F10 more often.. :)
