Thanks for the reply bluepilot76. One of the reasons I selected FC2, was because of the multiple jet choices. I've always wanted to sit down and actually learn the radar systems, the multiple weapon systems, and the different flight characteristics of both the A10 and the F15 (I'm not into the Russian jets at this point). I think my rig can handle DCS-A10, its right on the edge of the recommended specs, but then again I keep going back to wanting to learn both jets. As for my height on the bomb drop that killed me, I was not very low, and after I died, I was able to watch both bombs detonate on the deck (both missed of course).

I'm a newbie to the better flight sims, and have just picked up Lock On Platinum. I am looking for a couple of pointers, and/or answers to a couple of questions on FC2 while learning the A10: 1. In the quick mission, I keep getting aced by the Russian KA50, as I can not pick it up amongst the background (I will not use the Labels). For some reason, when I try to cycle through the 'next' air target, I get nothing back.. and there doesn't seem to be any radar help. Is there a little trick any of you use that helps find inbound bogies, while trying to keep it real? 2. On the MK82 and AGM65 'training' mission, I have had instances where I am dropping my MK82, and blow myself up! I watch the replay of it from below and both bombs drop, so they don't appear to be the reason for my quick demise. Any ideas? 3. Has anyone else had any problems getting the AI wingman to respond to commands? 4. Is there a list of squads that might be adding members? If things go as planned, I might want to join a squad, learn the intricacies of the sim.. and if so, are their 'wars' planned and fought? Thanks for your help.. FUgly

My first flight sim was U.S. Navy Fighters. I could NEVER get that game to run smoothly on my old PC. Once I upgraded, the game was old-hat, and I moved past it rather quickly (flight sims were all the rage back then). I voted for F/A-18 as I have unfinished business... YUP!
