DCS BS: was $39.99, now $26.66 DCS A-10C: was $59.99, now $40.00

Oh, my word. The fun I would have if I didn't live in a small NYC apartment...

You haven't mentioned trying WHOT/BHOT modes (Boat Switch forward/aft) - flipping around between modes can sometimes help you discern the little specks that might turn out to be armor. Also, when in either WHOT/BHOT, you can adjust the gain using OBS 19/20 on whichever MFCD you have the TGP displayed. I generally gain them both up 2-3 clicks - it really makes an enormous difference.

Probably just a bad MRE.:pain:

Yes, your .lua is different from mine, from line 284 down.

Ah, I'm still on 1.1.0.8, maybe this is another "fix" in the new update?

OK, here's the original post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1220191&postcount=7 The MenuItemMaxLength string is line 284 in the CommandMenu.lua.

Oh...just realized that it references highlighted text. When I saved this, I forgot to save the formatting.

I don't have a link to the original topic, but here's the relevant info: ********** REMINDER: BACK UP ALL FILES BEFORE YOU TOUCH THEM. 1) Unlock the maximum string length: within ...Games\DCS A-10C\Scripts\UI\CommandMenu.lua, search for and change local menuItemMaxLength from 26 to 100; this is the cutoff length where it uses (...) 2) Change the radio dialog size within ...Games\DCS A-10C\FUI\Resources\Radio\menu.res, make the two changes highlighted in red (reduce existing number by 300, this will extend the dialog left by 300 pixels).

Pi is exactly 3!

You'd be surprised! Particularly if you have labels off and F10 is "map only".

HOTAS Speed Brake Switch Aft - B+LCtrl (Extend) HOTAS Speed Brake Switch Foreward - B+LShift (Retract) Are you sure you are in CCRP mode and that you have your LGBs set to use CCRP? edit: too slow...

Lase time is "time to target", not "time from deployment". A 10 second lase time means the laser activates 10 seconds before impact. If you set your lase time too long, you increase your chances of falling short of the target, as the LGB will try to fly a flat trajectory to it, losing energy along the way.

I thought the doc I posted was pretty relevant. Granted, it deals more with ground test safety, but it gives you a good idea of what is coming out of these devices.

+1 Took me a while to get used to the TMWH, but as someone mentioned, it helps to use your fingertip on the trigger rather than wrapping your whole finger around it. You can much better feel the subtle *click* of the second stage switch when you do.

Less hazardous than a SAM, for sure. That said... http://airforcemedicine.afms.mil/idc/groups/public/documents/afms/ctb_021815.pdf I suspect that the pilot is shielded either by a physical barrier or, more likely, the directionality of the device. Any chiefs can weigh in on this?

Not the best pic (grabbed it from chrisakky's Mark Point Tutorial), but I think you'll get the idea. Select FPM, then select the L3 LSK (top left) to switch from AUTO to MAN for manual sequencing.

Not true at all. If your adapter and monitor support it, VGA will transmit it. Currently extending my Thinkpad to a 23" LCD at 1080p.

I was reading through this topic pretty quickly and parsed this incorrectly. Your link cleared things up pretty nicely, though! /One tracer for "no", two tracers for "hell, no!"

Theoretically, there is no limit to the resolution available over VGA. Picture quality, on the other hand...

I can understand his question, however, as certain sims (OK, I'm looking at you, MSFS) don't fully support widescreen.

Oh, by the way, chief - I missed my piddle pack, so you might want to grab some towels. OK, have a good one!

It helps when you are editing profiles to rename them in such a way that, with a quick glance at the HUD, you can tell whether or not things will behave the way you expect.

Seems fine to me - the blue color is visible enough to read yet keeps the gridlines and designations from becoming obtrusive.
