Keep us posted! I love that snake on a plane. (See what I did there?) :D

Looks like it's available for sale on HistoryChannel.com too. It's a little pricey but might be a cool item. I checked on Amazon but it's the same price there. http://shop.history.com/detail.php?p=68584&v=history

Great video! I'm surprised there is so few views.

That is awesome! Thanks for posting.

Smallwood's books are excellent. I just read both with in the past month and highly recommend them. I just learned about "A-10's over Kosovo" and highly recommend it after you read Smallwood's book as the tactics developed and used in Desert Storm are used again and built upon in Kosovo. Where Smallwood's books are written from interviews with the pilots, "Over Kosovo" is written by the pilots themselves which lends it a unique feel. The book starts with what is basically a short history and events timeline for the conflict and how the essays fit with in it, and then it's back to back pilot accounts of missions flown as a part of Operation Allied Force. I'm half way through it and will be sorry when I'm finished. Another great read, but from the Navy's perspective is "Bogeys and Bandit's". It's more akin to Smallwood's style and is good reading especially if you like Naval Carrier Operations. The book covers a Fighter Pilot class as they go through Naval Fighter Weapons School and it starts up introducing each pilot in the class just as they begin the fighter school and are assigned the then new F/A-18 Hornet.

Thanks guys, your right about which squadron your a part of doesn't change the skin on the aircraft. After posting this question I suspected that and kept cycling units and of course it had no effect. I guess I just assumed it would since everything else is so real to life in the sim. Thanks for filling me in on how to get the skin I'm looking for. I guess I'm not deep enough into the sim to have seen that yet. :)

Yep the 74th and 75th are the Flying Tigers and the Tiger Sharks respectively and they both sport the "shark maw". One of the things I love about the A-10 is that they still use the WW2 Flying Tiger's shark maw nose art. :) here's the 74th: And the Razorback nose from the 184th: (Hopefully these guys don't mind me using thier picture's to get a look at the planes behind them!) The loading screen has a sharkmaw on the A-10's but I haven't seen one in game. I have flown a A-10 from the 184th (at least it had the sweet Razorback nose art) just once in a quick mission before I made a pilot logbook entry so just assumed you could create a pilot in that unit, but now that I'm there I don't see the 74th, 75th or 184th listed which are the units that use the above nose art... That's what prompted me to post. I'm still doing training and learning the systems but wanted to have nose art on the bird if I could. Am I missing something obvious on how to always have your Hog sporting nose art? Maybe it's only in the campain, but if so, does your pilot need to be in a certain unit? Thanks for reading if you've gotten this far. I'm tired and I'm sure I'm not being clear. I just want the Warthog I'm in to have nose art if I can figure out how. Thanks! :pilotfly:

Is there a way to get a little Hoggish nose art on your AC in the game then?

I'm trying to get my pilot to be in the squadron with the Warthog nose art in game. The manual lists the 184 and 188th Flying Razorbacks out of Fort Smith but I don't see them listed in logbook. Is it possible to have the warthog art on your A-10? I swear one of the instant actions the plane had it before I created my pilot in the logbook and now I can't figure out which on it is in game! A close second choice would be the Flying Tigers or Tiger Shark's shark mouth nose art but I don't see those listed either. :( You can tell I have my priorities straight, can't you? :megalol:

I like your style. :thumbup:

PM and email sent

Are you serious? I just received mine last week and feel they are some of the most solid pieces of computer hardware I've ever touched and would recommend them to any one. :thumbup: Different strokes for different folks I guess.

It's back up! :D

I just checked and it looks down. The site is http://www.ch-hangar.com/ right? (I typoed it earlier in a post, my bad, but was always headed to to the above URL in a favorite. )

I think I have it figured out. For whatever reason Lock On won't display the Axis as being sensed in the Options but in game everything works fine. Strange. :huh: A-10C and Black Shark recognize the sticks in setup, and work as expected. I hope CH-Hanger comes back. That site is what made me decide to come back to CH Products again after 10 years of not simming.
