I know this is an old post, but are you suggesting that munitions with higher initial energy will lose all of that energy faster than munitions with lower initial energy? That doesn't really make any sense.

Some elaboration on ENO's already good explanation: The TGP knows where you are looking, but it does not know what you are looking at. By default, it computes your intended target as being the point on the ground at the center of your camera, not any object that happens to be in-frame. By lasing your target (no need to latch - just give it a squirt and you should be fine, though latching will help if you are forgetful) you are providing the targeting system with an invaluable piece of information - distance to target. Low-angle attacks will naturally suffer from a greater chance of being off-target if the target is not lased. A simple graphic:

You are assuming far too much about people you do not know. I think you are also making far too big a deal out of a relatively simple concept (explained perfectly well by OutOnTheOP above.)

Are you sure it's not a matter of less deflection at lower speed?

I think it's safe to say that everyone here has dealt with an un-powered descent at some time or other. You'll definitely find your skills to be useful! :joystick:

He does point out that EH's video is the definitive one, though.

The switch you are looking for is the HOTAS Mic Switch, located on the throttle near your thumb. Default keybinds are: [LAlt] + [NumPad -] = UHF [LAlt] + [NumPad +] = VHF AM [LShift] + [NumPad -] = VHF FM

You are already discussing this in another topic, why start a new one?

Definitely possible. I used to place them on the inside corners of my L/R displays. forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=66516 Search around a bit and you'll find other threads addressing how to edit the appropriate LUA file. It takes but a few minutes, the most dificult part being getting the screen position just right. Good luck!

Famous last words! Looks great, BIG. Wish I had the space for a pit, but it's always fun to see what others are doing. Thanks for sharing your progress!

Shout it from the rooftops!

Since we are discussing the TGP, the source would be the focal point of the TGP and the focus setting of same. How difficult it would be to accomplish this in the TGP only is another question...

Let's start with the obvious - is your trim hat mapped to the trim functions?

Thanks for the reply - I guess I'll try to figure out a way to make it work. Maybe I'll get a JoyLoc for the throttle...

Depends on what the laser is pointing at. If your mark point is off and you are designating the mark point... /sad trombone

If your munitions are landing long, I'd expect it has more to do with how you are designating/marking your target. See this video for a great explanation: Over-lasing usually results in your munitions landing short, due to loss of energy.

While I wish I could use my TMWH for Arma 2, it just takes up too much space. Is there any way to have both my TMWH (+ rudder pedals) and my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro plugged in at the same time, but only have one active/visible to whichever sim/game I am engaged in? Thanks, and in the meantime, off to the Googles!

All set. Deleted the Warthog entry in the registry and activation proceeded with no problem. Thanks for the help!

Delete the entire Warthog entry/folder in the registry?

No worries, I'll just get acquainted with the CA module. Thanks for the help!

Ticket number 14261.

I get essentially the same error when trying to deactivate - it won't allow it because the key is invalid. No ticket, as I just sent the report to support@eagle dot ru as per the instructions in the error message. Should I submit a formal ticket as well? Don't want to cross any more wires.

So I just dropped a new CPU and SSD into my gaming box and took the opportunity to purchase DCS:CA and upgrade to 1.2. I think I may have loused something up, however, as I am getting an error message when loading a mission that my Warthog key is now invalid due to "significant hardware changes". I mailed the error report to support, but I am wondering if there is anything I can do in the meantime, while I wait for a response. Thanks!

Depending upon how much information is supplied in the briefing, you can usually get a pretty good idea of where your targets will be ahead of time. At the very least, when JTAC is asking you to strike a target 800KM away, you'll know to try the other zone!

It disables Windows Aero (windows transparency). You can also accomplish this by disabling desktop composition in the executable's compatibility settings menu.
