Actually, that would be nice.. Somehow, if you take a look at the scripting done for the mission in the Campaign "THE SHORE" - look at the mission THE SHORE 04 - Somehow the mission creator implemented some triggers and scripts to mimic the Recon part - I am trying my best to make sense of the flags and triggers and everything else, and am having some tough times with creating my own missions ... I am actually making a mission where the player(s) (mutliplayer and single player) are assisting a defecting flight ... and part of it is some player controlled KA-50s must do RECON reporting...

Lol.. wow I feel silly!

http://merc-clan.com/market/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=1 Hurry up guys, only 2 left in stock. I suppose they are on clearance for a nice $11.7 million Please don't ask how I came across this... lol .. I seriously do.not.know. *edit* I also found our beloved Black Shark http://merc-clan.com/market/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=3 This must be a gag site.. hmm.. may email them just to inquire..

I use to have a nice setup here - eyefinity display @ 6480x1080 and 2 'crossfired 2gb 6950's ... I had to get funds together for my father's chemo meds - it was totally worth it for me - and in the meantime, I am running an onboard HD4290.. DCS runs like a slideshow (or should I say it walks lol).. with everything turned down and on it's lower res - coming from the surround / eyefinity 3 screen setup to this, was unpractical.. I just can't do it.. and it wont do it lol So hopefully in a month or two I can buy another 6950 or it's nvidia's equivalent. I do have two 4650s with 512mb - and I popped them in and both are bad cards. I get garbled characters at bios post and the cards installed separately make the system BSOD at boot.. So, maybe I can focus on building some good missions in the meantime. You guys are lucky! My old man and I literally never exit the sim and he's not all tech savvy, and I got him hooked on it.. lol Cant wait to come back! Would anyone have any alternatives (cheap, I may add) that I can use in the time being or have any recommendations on a cheap'er video card?

Did you happen to change the grid from 37T to 38T? Once I flew to waypoint one - I was given the coordinates and was able to input in CDU, I changed the 37T to 38T and the convoy was approx. 30 - 40 nm away.. **Edit** Dang, Im slow

lulz.. perfect and on time

Thanks Peter for offering someone a chance to win something by being creative! I can't wait to see some results. (and I am currently operating a X52 which I love - coming from a MSsidewinder) !

One question, is the AI up to the task of navigating through the mountainside and staying somewhat low without crashing?

I am going to try to build a mission where we receive a defector and his plane (Flanker maybe).. and we A-10's have to destroy the base's defenses and offenses prior to him/her escaping.. I want to activate sam /aaa sites as the enemy starts to get word of this defector; and as the defector / and the A-10'a progress out of enemy territory... the enemy scrambles to prevent us traversing to friendlier skies.. Has this been attempted? I also wanted to build another mission that involves a captured A-10 and the pilot (single player), and escaping from the enemy base..

perfect. Thanks guys!

Hello all.. What would be the best resource to learn the basics of lua scripting and mission creation? Thanks!

If I am not mistaking, once you eject, hit esc., then you should see either "Back" or "Fly". If you choose Fly, it will allow you to respawn from you're starting position.

My mistakes.. I cant believe it was a simple overlook... in chasing down my CTDs I forgot that with the Saitek x52, I have to manually assign the axis on the control config to the throttle - in the past I carried over the previous versions key binding files by a simple replace when upgrading.. somehow over the months I forgot about it.. Since I am troubleshooting for another problem, I did not carry over the 1.0.0.7's control configs.. lol go figure I looked and looked for hours on here to be sure nothing changed.. lol Anywho, thank you for the fast reply for help. :thumbup:

After since migrating to 1.0.0.8, I've been having a few issues. These issues made me reformat the PC and reinstall everything on it, including a new download of the full 1.0.0.8 installation. When trying a cold ramp start, I cannot proceed to start any engine. I've checked the key bindings [right-alt] + [home].. etc and in game it's shown as the correct binding, even when cleared and redone - I bind the same keys as default just to be sure the keyboard and pc is recognizing the keys. I've made sure to keep the throttle in the idle position on the joystick (X52)... I even tried it in different positions, and even unplugged it. I follow the startup checklist and even searched for user made ones to be sure nothing's changed in 1.0.0.8. I have not edited any lua files - and this is the 3rd fresh install of 1.0.0.8 since yesterday. Maybe I am doing something wrong? For now, I have to start in the air or runway. The main cause of the reformat + so many new installations, is because I am trying to chase down random crash to desktops. Anywho, thanks for any insight :)

YES! I loved it - since I was on a MAC (a 66mhz 68040) and 4gb ram).. I use to love the damage effects the A10 series games had .. breaking landing gears, torn wing.. engine fires.. lol I agree - thread derailment; sorry. Use to have a high polygon count, too. :megalol:

DX11 Preview : Could not resist guys .!

Great! I tried it and got real low :p This was pretty fun! Thanks! The anticipation trying to figure out what is creeping on the next bend as the valley zigzaged was pretty intense. Thanks Again! For Spitfire: (Spoiler alert for others, dont click please)

Good to know .. It's one of those things where as you've completed 70% of your mission, then here come the migs.. you call for fighter support, and by the time the Migs are visible, they are about 7nm from ya.. and the fighters are no where to be found! (after being called 6 minutes prior lol ) Im actually satisfied that ED modeled this. It adds even more realism. Thanks for the response, its quite interesting.

I'm sure this is a dumb question... This has happened to me twice in different missions... I will have a couple Migs chasing me - Entering it's trigger zone, I call for fighter support ... When Awacs reports 50 hot, I try to head towards the direction of the F-15's.. The F-15s engage (sometimes missing ... lol) and depending how close the Migs are, I will engage them as well.. Then I get hit with a stray Aim-120 - (I had labels on), I see a missile streak by my side and see the blue label, then it strikes my right wing.. So I suppose, before the Mig went down, one of the F-15's must have shot off an extra Aim-120 - and picks up my radar signature and starts heading towards me once the Mig is disintegrated.. pretty funny actually .. Could this happen IRL ? I wished we had more advanced IFF lol :pilotfly: By all means I do not want to be invisible, I just never saw this modeled in any other sim (and we know this isnt any other sim either lol ), It's actually pretty nice and adds into the immersion I suppose

I had a couple favorites for the the old macintosh (68040 66mhz cpu with 4mb ram lol) One was A-10 Attack : Another was Chuck Yeager's Air Combat (this was the revised version with better graphics - better than the dos version!) One last was F/A-18 Hornet made by Graphic Simulations All were pretty good sims for their time. I remember wasting countless of hours on the A-10 Attack, Chuck Yeager and F/A Hornet (all for the system 7 o/s Apple), I remember losing half of my wing and barely making it back lol

Only we wished to carry nuclear payloads!

They are different profiles from what I understood, and according to the GUI manual. A10:Game shows easier key combinations and not all switches and key presses are present in the "game" profile. Not all functions are profiled under Game... The "A-10C SIM" will have more functions to be profiled Under game profile, as an example. the menu "Emergency Flight Control Panel" cannot be assignable nor is it available via key presses... Under sim profile, those functions as well as others are available to assign... I am not sure which is default and which is chosen according to the player's chosen flight / avionic dynamics.

Funny someone brought this up - after I posted my gpu and hdr on / off comparison + info post here..., I get the black flashing (looks like screen tear a little) also.. I just maybe was not paying attention. Thanks for making the list - that way we can track to see if it's a 69xx series causing issues. I would like to try the 11.4c hotfix from the link someone posted.. I just cannot get the 11.4 base drivers installed.. (bsod during install) So it's a consensus HDR is causing this on the 69xx? It's kind of a relief that I was not the only one with the problem (looked like artifacting a little)

I just started to get this issue. Prior to trying to update drivers to 11.4, (using 11.2), HDR off . CCC A.I. Enabled, I never saw the white "flash" boxes. In trying to improve my framerate in eyefinity, I tried updating to 11.4 (resulted in "packaged failed install within CCC install manager + install causing BSOD), I updated to 11.3 instead. I also followed numerous tweaking threads: (disable Catalyst A.I. set maxfps:30 in grph.cfg, etc), I then turned on HDR, MSAA, used Radeon Pro to further tweak optimizations, I got about =<5fps boost (coming from avg 15 -20fps eyefinity. it did improve some stuttering), then I noticed the flashing white boxes described here. When the HDR is off, this anomaly is gone. My apologies if this is already noted. Does this happen with anyone that does not have a 6xxx AMD / ATI card?
