I highly recommend the magnet mod to all x52 users; http://www.warishellgaming.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26661 and use google translate http://www.ala13.com/foro/viewtopic.php?t=6460 http://www.mektek.net/forums/topic/139226-i-fixed-the-crapness-of-the-saitek-x52/ this spanish guy does it better and easier then the guy on the video so I recommend this one. As a result, even the slightest input is transferred to the plane resulting in very precise manuevers, formation flight, AAR and landing.:pilotfly:

I also agree with x52 solution you can also magnet modify your x52 for maximum precision. I can help you with that its an easy mod and every x52 owner should do it.

you can also unhook your cursor and move freely by TMS Aft Short when TAD is SOI.

ipad is your third MFCD its like f22 style of flying hog.

Does he mean "how to start the engines" or he means "how to progress and where to start learning hog"

you look gorgeous. Dont try with TERs :)

Yea since we treat our planes as our ladies.

I just want to ask something about the engine. Im using keyboard commands as well. So right ctrl+home makes the right throttle goes from OFF to IDLE whereas right ctrl+end makes the throttle OFF again. Is there a difference between IDLE and min throttle input? I wanted to be sure because some engine emergencies or other cases, you might want to set throttle to IDLE. Is it same as pulling back HOTAS to min? or is there another trigger as IDLE? and if there is, whats the keyboard command for it?

already got x52 and trackir brought used saitek rudders for 75£

The pictures look awesome! We cannot wait :)

Just to give a quick note for CADC errors for the ones who don't know: It generally happens when you forget to enable pitot heating which is sometimes missed during pre-takeoff checklist. Also via CDU System/Reset Sub Page, you can check the status of CADC and various systems (V = Valid, F= Failed) and try to reset and re-initialise CADC system during flight which may work.

In Falcon 4.0 there was an inventory for bombs so they might get out of stock throughout the campaign

its 36 bucks here Im missing something? http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/ref/rap/book_rap_hogguide.shtml or from here http://www.foyles.co.uk/item/History%20Politics/The%20Modern%20Hog%20Guide%20The%20A10%20Warthog%20Exposed,%20Jake%20Melampy-9780979506420

I think GBU-38 cannot be released in CCIP mode. You cannot switch it to CCIP from DSMS.

Hmm thank you for the checklist. I agree with your opinions regarding the APU. I also like to note that in RL generally canopy remains open as well, whereas in some sim operations ppl immediately close the canopy even before apu and engine start. Being an old fox PMDG 737 simmer, sometimes we all want to do things like real pilots do and eager to search for any additional little detail that we might miss in our sim operations. Its always nice to learn and by looking at this picture, this sim is surely GREAT!

Yea a really weird pic :) So true. So what Im saying here is that maybe we should revise our checklists and keep APU on after engine startup and turn it off when we are sure that engines operate smoothly. Im against the checklists where people even shut down the APU after successfully cranking the left engine.

Check engine instruments his APU is ON. This is what confuses me. Why? :) do we need to revise our checklists? :)

Yes but what Im asking here is why is he keeping his APU on? I mean engines running AC generators on.. why APU itself and APU gen is remained ON? Even after completion of the alignment

Im currently confused with recent updates on most people's invaluable checklists regarding engine start procedures and follow-ups. In some checklists they turn EGI and CDU after cranking the left engine. They turn APU off after running on left engine.. some turn apu off after starting up the two engines etc. following this picture; http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/4996069258_b41d602b89_o.jpg it is seen clearly that this guy did not shut the APU. He completed his INS alignment so nearly 5 mins passed after engine start-up. APU GEN warning light is lit. I wonder when to shut APU and engage AC generators etc. Can someone clarify the process? Also after the recent patch the master caution light is lit when APU GEN is ON when engines running and you engage AC generators. So our guy in this pic is must have this kind of warning tone? anyways.. a great pic btw :)

exactly :) the best part however was : The B-52 was subsequently renamed "In HARM’s Way" those guys are creative :)

What a stupid incident: During the Gulf War, the HARM was involved in a friendly fire incident when the pilot of an F-4G Wild Weasel escorting a B-52 mistook the latter's tail gun radar for an Iraqi AAA site. (This was after the tail gunner of the B-52 had targeted the F-4G, mistaking it for an Iraqi MiG). The pilot launched the missile and then saw that the target was the B-52, which was hit. It survived with shrapnel damage to the tail. The B-52 was subsequently renamed "In HARM’s Way"

Im curious what is the probability of failures in RL?

What is the mission? If its custom can you post it?
