ohman that reminds me, how the hell do u use the radios in this game.. k thanks guys, i'll keep working on it and try out that profile u attached!

I am new to the whole head tracking gear, and got the trackir 5 just last week, but im having alot of trouble fine tuning the thing to work. its' either too much movement and i can't keep it still long enough to click switches or too slow to move around and look behind me well enough or zoom in well enough to see stuff in the cockpit. anyone found a decent set up that works? i can't find a good balance of speed and smoothness, and its starting to give me a headache lol:cry:

yeah, that's why i think its a fuel bug, cause i put on infinite fuel, then went over and adjusted my fuel load down to 50% to make her lighter in the air. but i put the fuel back up to 99% as well as lowerd the map temp to 40 just incase. now she works fine.

Success!!! you guys were right, i had the summer weather set to 50, so i turned it down to 40, and i went and checked my armorment and i origionally had my fuel set to 50% sinse i had infinite fuel on, so i turned that back up to 99%, and went back in, got the right engine to turn over instantly! then i went up and out to an area where i set up some bunkers and AAA for funzies. hehehe, i don't know how to use the bomb or missle ordanence yet so i just used the gun on some bunkers. I was hoping to see some fun AAA trasers chasing me but the AAA i had set up wouldn't fire on me, ( i had immortal on). this mission i made if purely for fun and practice as i learn the in and outs of the jet, and was wondering if u guys could sudjesst some fun anti aircraft that insurgents can use that'd light up the night sky. and some juicey targets that make a big boom hehehe:joystick: i included the track of my first solo flight in this sim, i'm really clumbsy and don't know how to use most of the systems but it should be a fun watch! thank u all for the help! i really appreciate it!!:D success!.trk

sinse u mentioned it might be a weather related situation, I set this mission's weather climate to summer, i also have a 1 am version of the same mission i like to play at night, so any advice on how the weather affects my aircraft like this would be a god send!

yeah i was looking at those, but i don't know much about them so i left them alone. i'll try that out tonight though.

k guys, here is the track file of how i'm starting up the aircraft, excuse the camera, i'm still adjusting my Trackir 5. i'm pretty much just coppying what i've been shown in the start up tuturial, and it worked before, but sinse the last patch the right engine just won't turn over.:helpsmilie: i have no idea if i'm doing something wrong, missing a step or if its a glitch with the patch or my installation.:( just review the track and get back to me. Startup.trk

lol, yeah i'll just have to post a track later today on what i'm doing, heheh, this games a huge learning curve for me lol. I'm still learning the names of everything in the cockpit. i've never played modern jet flighsims before so maybe i am skipping something silly and simple, i'll post a track after this later today so keep an eye on this thread. also, as one of u said before, there is difference between the sims' tuturial and what the real pilots procedures are, and would love to learn the RL pilots start up and shutdown procedures for better emersion.

yeah my joystick left throttle works both at same time, but i mostly move to idle using the LAlt+home and the Lcntrl+End buttons just like in the tuturial, and they work fine.

would love to u, but don't know how

i don't use keymaps, i use the mouse to click on everything in the cockpit. i went right back to the tuturial and I am doing everthing right as i can tell. i am pretty sure its a bug now cause I'm not doing anything wrong.

huh...Always wondered what that cord was there for LOL

well, as far as i can tell, I flip all four fuel pumps, then the single switch just above the throttle, foreget whats its called, then the top left switch over where the battery switch group is, then the two switches below it, and thats when the psi on the left engine gauge rolls around to the left, but the right engine psi stops at 8:oo o'clock, foreget the exact psi amounts, but the left psi guage needle is around 9 or 10 o'clock. that's when i start having trouble, cause in the start up tuturial, both needles went to the 9-10 o'clock position and both engines started fine, but i wait a little, power to idle on left engine, wait for the gauges to stablelize, all gauges, sounds of the left engine are normal just like in the tuturial, but when i power to idle on the right engine, the fan, temp, and rpm needles don't move, and never do move, and the engine fans outside won't spin. so I have no idea if i'm missing a step, or its a bug, cause i'm flipping all the switches in the right order just like the tuturial told me to do, i waited for the left engine to normalize like in the tuturial, but the right engine won't kick on for some reason.

this has been going on sinse the latest patch; now i'm really new to jet sims, don't really know much about this airfraft, but i'm in a mission i made from the mission editor, and i'm doing a ramp start, but the damn right engine wont kick on. i'm following everything from the start up tuturial but when it comes to throttle to idle for the right engine, the fan and everything won't move on the gauges, and the right engine just won't turn on. No idea if this is a bug or what but it works fine in the tuturial, but not in any missions.

I like way u think. I want to see more life at base, and have tons of options for my aircraft

eh, no real purpose, i just loved waking up in the morning and letting the auto pilot in rise of flight run the first sortie of the day as i sip on coffee in a sleepy stuper and just oogle at the planes and stuff heheheh.

is there an auto pilot in this sim like over in Rise of Flight? an AI bot that can u can toggle on and off and it can fly the whole mission and attack targets?

yeah, i can't even tell what i'm looking at, no idea whats a mountain, or a valley, its al just random lines and colors to me. i really need to be able to toggle that to see the real ground like a satilite photo overlay or something.

anyone know if u can toggle the textures on the map? i can't see the where to place planes and vehicles on the ramp, or where the helipads are.

the tuturials only cover so much but i still have a hard time learning how to use the A-10. are there any user made videos that teach and how how to use the aircraft and all its different systems?? some of the tuturials assume i already know some little tidbits here and there and wait for me to do them, when i have no idea what they're talking about, and aren't covered in the other tuturials, and i can't complete it. if they don't exist, can someone start a series on youtube and let me know?
