I have a problem with Georgian Hammer “Push - 5-1” not working, I have played it 8 times not an not once have “Pike” (M1A2) or “Maple” (M2A2) appeared on the ground in Poti nor after radio calls to move on to Dakota. I have turned labels on and at no point do they appear even though I get the message that they are standing by to move or if I give them the order to move on to Dakota I get a “copy” message from both yet still nothing appears in or near Poti regardless of if I have dispatched all red ground targets along with the 2 SU-25 that come along after a wile. I have waited in mission 3h flying a CAP above Poti but as Pike and Maple aren’t even there when I get to Poti its all rather pointless, when I exit the mission the “refly mission” button is blanked out and I get over 300pt every time I fly it. I have tried flying the standard mission route and payload, have tried adding waypoints, moving waypoints, different payloads, accelerating time once everything red is dead until after 18:00h and to be honest I am fed up of this campaign mission not working so want to fly the next be it “Push - 5-2” for failing in “Push - 5-1” or “Push - 6-1” for succeeding via manually editing the logbook. So dose anyone know why Pike and Maple just don’t appear or what the bug is with Push - 5-1?????? :joystick:

perhaps someone found an old long forgotten M388 # at the back of the supply shed so strapped it to there A-10 # the warhead of the Davy Crockett weapon system

looks in the correct context to me for both "smart" & "smarts" as in “Landing with just one wheel down, not too smart.” Or “Smarts like heck from a 15 foot diving board” even if it's awkward grammar.

I did say "they" which includes some of the companies who make SSD, so its NOT my personal opinion BUT is the opinion of people and some manufactures who are more qualified than YOU or I to say such a thing, do you want to explain how they have tested the "5 million years" that would take the use of 1 million drives being tested for 5 years unless it was reached using theoretical MTBF. FYI: my oldest drive is my C: which is a 40gb IBM IDE Deskstar that’s ~11 years old and doing a sterling service and has been free from any errors, my next oldest drive is my E: & G: drives which is a 2003 Hitachi (IBM) Deskstar, and my newest drive is a 2008 Hitachi Deskstar which is F:

will if it was from the landing the pave penny would have been knocked off, so he may have had a sticker in one of the barrels/breach that has then caused a bit of a bang in front landing gear area as there is seemingly a barrel missing, so he has done a full gear up landing rather than one without the nose gear.

I cannot comment on the specific hardware, but they do say not to put your pagefile or other temporary folder that often gets written to on an SSD, instead they should stay on a regular HDD. With respect to pagefile if you had 6gb+ of RAM you could afford to get shot of the file totally as the OS will generally use some of the free RAM in lieu of the pagefile.

If you have loaded a divert airfield then with the CDU active on the right MFD, on the UFC (beneath the HUD) press the “FUNC” key then the “7” key (with text “FPLAN” beneath it) to get it back.

if available it will give the runway and frequency see between the * *

As per the above, but if you want repairing also its best to ask the ground crew for ground power, then turn off the engines (right alt + end & right ctrl + end) and wait ~3mins at which point the A-10 will lift up about 1ft and access panels will open on the exterior modal then will close and lower the A-10 down after ~30sec at which point you are then repaired, then its just a case of firing up the APU with 1 switch on the right console and then one switch on the left console then using the right alt + home & right ctrl + home to fire the engines up (remembering to then turn the APU off with the same 2 switch), then disconnect the ground power. FYI: not all airfields will have ground crew but its normally a safe bet that the airfield you initially took off from will, also you can seemingly repair at any friendly base once the engines have been off for ~3mins though you wont be able to necessarily rearm or refuel or get ground power. Seemingly on airfields you have correctly requested landing and ground crew available you can rearm and refuel or get ground power on taxiways/runways/parking area etc.

The USAF has MK-83 warheads in stockpile, this is a fact as it forms the backbone of the largest GBU ordinance that will fit in an F-22, the USAF has used the MK-83 in history and yes it did give most of them up to the USN/USMC at one time, ergo the MK-83 warhead is in the USAF inventory under one of its pseudonyms and given the nose and tail sections of the GBU’s are essentially retrofit to MK-8# LDGP’s it would be no big step in times of operational need to fit MK-83/BLU-110/GBU derivatives under A-10 in the field if operating from a joint USAF/USN/USMC base. If you want to play the “real world card” then why is the MK-83 missing from the US Navy/etc aircraft in-game, oh and while were at it what’s a USN carrier doing in the black sea, you have a dam sight more chance of MK-83 etc on an A-10 than that ever happening! :laugh: Did I call him “dumb” no, I said “You would have to be extremely dumb to preclude the use of MK-83 or derivative GBU from compatibility of a launch platform such as the A-10/F-16 even if its not the normal every day payload/inventory.” one assumes he is a minion in the USAF rather than the person/s who decides anything of any major importance in the grand scheme of things therefore wont be privy of absolutely all circumstance or operational “what ifs” over the years and would be the logic shared by many people both in and out of service though it would be a different matter if there was a technical consideration like “we don’t use MK-83/BLU-110 ever on USAF A-10 etc plane because when you do the wings fall off yet strangely don’t with MK-84‘s” :smilewink:

Well Mr “12 years in the active duty AF” it works both ways! ;) Provide a technical reason why “ Mk-83 or derivative GBU” cannot be used either with or without a MER on an A-10/F-16 etc, if you can provide no technical reasoning as to why they cannot be used and given the A-10 is perhaps as old or older than you and the MK-80’s are even older are you going to say that the MK-83 has never departed a rack or MER of a USAF A-10/F-16. :P You would have to be extremely dumb to preclude the use of MK-83 or derivative GBU from compatibility of a launch platform such as the A-10/F-16 even if its not the normal every day payload/inventory. :music_whistling: so given the campaign’s/mission possibilities offered in game along with geographical & logistical constraints on supply or the fact that in real life no USN carrier with catapults would be in the black sea you would have a lot of multi service air bases just so you can keep an amount of capability close to hand. :thumbup:

The USAF have plenty of MK-83 in their inventory though the US Navy do use lots, BUT all the munitions are legitimate payloads of the A-10A/C and there is no technical reasoning as to why if you can use MK-82 & MK-84 or there derivatives (GBU’s) as to why you could not use MK-83 or its derivative GBU’s, its not as if any of the above haven’t been used on A-10 with MER or have only been fit tested given if your operating from bases which also have F-16 etc operating from them or joint USAF/USMC/USN air bases/air stations/FOB/NAF etc there are going to be MK-83, GBU-16, GBU-32 + MER etc etc around to use (that’s without including joint bases with allies using F-18 or Tornado who use the MK-80/GBU family of bombs) The campaigns depicted would all require heavy reliance on fleet auxiliary etc for supply and multi service joint operating airbases given the Montreux Convention of 1936 which lets Turkey limit military ships especially capital ships (as defined by the London Naval Treaty of 1936) threw the Bosporus/Sea of Marmara thus precluding any big US aircraft carriers from getting into the black sea.

So when are we getting MK-83, GBU-16, GBU-32, MK-77, LAU-61 (19 x 70mm launcher) or the ~36” long nose fuse for the MK-80’s for above ground detonation or the ability to change fuse/timing during ordinance selection/loading?

Err no, as not all partitions are equal, some are slow as they by default don’t get put at the outside of the platters like primary partitions, this slows things down because if “windows” and the pagefile is in the primary partition and your games/programs are in the secondary inner partitions means the heads have to move further to read data from the “game files” (wile playing) and read and write to the page file (if used) and because the circumference of the tracks is shorter on the inside of the platters and the spin at a set speed the data throughput is lower. (this type of partition is better for file storage as you can always format the primary partition without effect on the secondary) What you should say is make a nominal cost upgrade and buy a second HDD to put your games on and where applicable (IDE) have it on IDE2 as master wile your main drive is on IDE1 as master. ;)

I normally get the ILS info off the CDU by going via the divert page when inbound to land.

Yes, all the broken bits will reappear and it will look and work like new :doh:

they are 21080kg in normal use fully loaded up though the MTW is 23000kg 21080kg is ~46460lb, ~21.08 tonnes, ~20.748 tons (long), ~23.241 tons (US/short) So I don’t quite know what the “40.0” of something is? Also the ambient temperature of the air will play some small part in real life not just with lift but also more power.

Yes it was a spawn runway mission, so it was hard to go back to a specific spot to rearm. Perhaps the spawn points for humans should be subtly marked different to that of AI, like maybe in the yellow centre lines for AI parking spots and white centre lines humans. :unsure: Still at lest I get to do it agene :doh:

don’t you just hate it when….. You have just completed a campaign mission after 2 hours and have wiped 98% of the red objects off the map, landed with all your wheels missing successfully, then found your plane gets repaired :) so you shifted it off the runway to rearm and refuel then seconds before your about to press escape to exit a successful mission an AI A-10 sporns under you’re A-10 causing your plane to blow up and kill you!!!! :censored:

Well it obviously need more work or it wouldn’t have met the end it did. :music_whistling: Though the way the tail is over the wall it could have been a landing cock-up.

did I say it fired "missiles" also it has an auto re-loader according to Rafael, ergo it must reload and if it must reload it must do it faster than a GAU-8 or similar to be effective agenised them under a sustained burst of fire. ;)

The problem with the active protection system like “trophy” is like a lot of thing it may offer 360deg protection but generally it will only offer protection once or twice from the same angle when faced with sustained high rates of fire like with a GAU-8 simply as the system must be able to reload fast enough and carry a sufficient amount if its own countermeasures. :smilewink:

You can still disable a tank making it ineffectual simply by damaging or braking the track and wheel/suspension system, it then just can at as a stationery emplacement at best, it also ties up resources if it has to be recovered to be repaired and that’s regardless of the hull and turret armour strength. ;) You can only put so much protection into the track/wheel/drive system before the tank its self becomes compromised in off-road ability. :thumbup:

if you are at ~17000ft over the lowlands prior to the WP ware you are requested to make the HUD SOI then make a SPI in the HUD you have to move the little box in the HUD right down to the base of the lowest part HUD display so it is only just viewable then hold the HOTAS TMS forward for >1sec thus doing a TMS forward (long) keystroke. I had the same problem just yesterday. :music_whistling:

you have something that could be up to 23000kg MTW (that’s the same weight as ~13 Land Rover Defender 90 4x4) sat on 3 tyres which are very small (diameter and width) for the relative weight vs. on & off road vehicles, or to put it another way it would need to be the height of summer and have been dry for >3 weeks after the last rain before you would even think about crossing some good hard sun baked ground which would be a couple of weeks after you would have been able to cross the same ground with a normal fully loaded 44000kg road lorry. Also de-bogging a stuck multi million $£€ aircraft is not just a case of connecting a KERR or towing chain/bar between it and a big 4x4/6x6/8x8 lorry as you would for a lorry or other machine as you would rip the landing gear off or do other damage trying to pull it out, normally you would have to jack an aircraft up and place some PSP or other temporary roadway under the wheels so it can be pulled off with the minimum of effort and damage.
