Very Useful! Thanks Deus!

Thanks for the face lift Mustang! Very nice work, and very much appreciated!

Hey Mule! Missioneditor\Data\Scripts ...you'll see the logbook folder. It has the Player.lua file. Contains Pilot info!

Great Vid Arclight! Reminds me how much practice I need! Music was well timed and I like how you got the misses in there with the lull of the music. Great Stuff!

Just hit the declutter button! I am sure there is a proper way to do it, but in a gunfight I just wanted it off the screen I just finished taking on 4 BMP's in a gunfight in the middle of the street. Shot up all my electronics. Lost both MFCD's and most of my gauges. I had know way of telling altitude or speed. I still had my compass and I headed for the Runway. I still had hydraulics, so I kicked my flaps down and when they dropped I knew I was under 200 knots. Dropped the gear and plopped it down on the Runway! It was freegin' beautiful! ....just when I thought this Sim couldn't surprise me again, it slaps me in the Face! Better then SEX!!!

Dimebag! You sound like a working stiff like myself. I would love to chuck down 3 grand or so and build a nice end machine. I usually buy and build to the needs of my most demanding sim. Buy it in steps bro'! Buy the CPU and board put it together, next month grab a video card, and so on. You don't need 8 gigs of Ram or the highest end CPU. Buy what ya need not what looks good on your forum sig. Shop around! If you want to get it done, you'll find away and be patient ....you got time!

Sorry to hear it StrongHarm! It will be waiting for ya! Hopefully with a fresh beta build to snag!

Hey Spectre! Good to see you again! How are the pigs? I've been meaning to call Wing'N but its been a long time. Yeah I got real sick in 06' and almost croaked. Thought about you guys from time to time. Life has a funny way of dragging you of in weird directions. I have done a couple of huge Bike Runs these past couple of years. God knows I love me Harley's! Sorry to here about that. I used to love reading your stuff!

You may want to make sure you are running any animated mouse cursors. If you are running a windows theme it may have animated cursors, and as mentioned before, make sure your joystick, is calibrated and using the proper drivers. Although it sounds like a mouse issue!

Thanks for all the reply's fellas! Panzertard! Yeah I hope they read it. It would be nice to know your work is appreciated. I mean it's a paying job, but as someone that has been modding on stuff since EA F1. It's a labor of love for sure. Furia! Yeah I would love to have that new Hotas, but I need to nail down a Trackir. I keep saying out loud I don't need that Hog Hotas, but my inner voice is running the numbers on how to snag it without winding up divorced...although sometimes I think the Hotas would be more enjoyable! LOL!!! .......(Greb looks over shoulder checking for wife) Element! Same here! I was really surprised to find how much I kept in my head. The hard thing for me now is playing FC2. After spending hours in the A10C flying FC2 is almost comical. I find myself taking naps between waypoints! WAKE me when the shooting starts! The A10C is fun because you are always doing something. You have to get organized before you get on target. Very rewarding!

Do it Mower! I'll read it for sure. Online is next for me. Haven't done any online flying in quite a long time. IL2 and Flanker Gunfights. This sim really has great potential for online squad flying. Don't know what is implemented or whats to come but a Controller in Online would be nice. Meaning having a squad or several aircraft's flying online and one guy controlling airfield and combat. He would be the Man behind the curtain so to speak. He would be ground forces and throw up obstacles. Gonna be a fun winter!

Oh yeah Mule! I don't have the kids but my wife has me busy. I usually fly at night after 8 or so. I may get one in early before the house wakes up. Friday night this last week I was up until 3 am, and Saturday I crashed at 5 am. I had to force myself to quit. Very immersible!

Yes I agree... It's is absolutely stunning!

You are correct Sir! I will change that! :smilewink:

I have been a long time flight simmer. I have flown everything from the first Falcon on a black white screen to the entire Jane's series. The entire Flanker series and so forth. I have flown IL2 since its very first release and was a founding member of a very large IL2 Community. I was the first guy to drop an A10 model into the hacked version of Jane's F18. Worked with a great bunch of guys but without change to the flight model it was kind of a bust. I guess what I am saying is I LOVE FLIGHT Sims. I really love Military Flight Sims. I have flown some civilian stuff, but Military has been my niche. I mean what good is it to fly around when you can't blow stuff up. I have taken a long break from simming just returning less then 6 months ago. My job was a pain, and I had a severe illness that required my attention. On that note! I am a ground pounder. In IL2 I love the P47 and fly it when ever I boot that sim. The A10 is right up my alley and have come to love it more with the Lomac series. I have them all including Black Shark. To get down to it! I am really growing fond of the new DCS A10C. The graphics are a tad better then FC2, even though it's still a beta. There are some glitches, and missing items, once again, I read the forum, I know....it's a beta. Things in my opinion are off, roll rate, Mav locks, and what not. ....I know it's a beta! Overall fellas I am giving you a total thumbs up on the sim. You need to refer to the manual a lot, then you must use a lot of practical application to get it down. This is not a read the book and then fly perfect sim, it takes practice, and in that is where this sim is so rewarding. The longevity of the sim out paces the user. I downloaded the beta and after a lot of reading, configuring, practicing, and upgrading my Hardware...get into that in a minute, the sim is a total Win! Adapting to the more sophisticated systems and weapon sights was fairly quick, and very satisfying. Nothing like running a ribbon of 30 mm on a column of BMP's. The recoil really is nice when applying a strip of rounds. Starting up is great! It's one of the reason I bought this sim. There is nothing like sitting in the cockpit and bringing that beast to life. The startup procedure alone was worth the price of the sim. Landing and shutdown are right up there with is the startup. So far I haven't got into communication systems do to it's beta form. I have been spending time on weapons and emergency situations. In the quick start menu this weekend I loaded up the first one and headed out to do some damage. Took out my targets and headed for a bridge to take out. There are two ZSu's and a SAM site at this target. I had my wingy go for the SAM, I figured he would be better then me with not a lot of time in the sim. He takes two SAM hits and misses the target. I got my ZSU's. One with a MAV and the other with guns, but when I turned out from the second ZSU the SAM tagged me. Blew a chunk out of my left rear Stab, and the rudder of the right one. It also took out about 2 feet of my right wing tip and my left engine. Left engine was on fire so I shut down fuel to left engine, shut down left engine and hit the Fire Ext. It all worked great. Once the fire was out, I trimmed the aircraft and looked for a parking space. Flew it 30 ks or so to the nearest runway and put her on the tarmac. It was one of the most, if not the most remembered moment I have ever had flight simming. I was in a total sweat and getting her on the ground was just so rewarding. Total Thumbs up fellas! :thumbup: I have changed my video card and ordered more ram. I started with a lower end ATI video card and with all the tweaking I was squeezing maybe 15 average in just normal flight. ATI Cards seem to have a problem. I hope it works out for final release. I purchased a Nvidia card this week. GTS450 w/1GB of DDR5. It reall smokes. I have been playing full settings. I love the HDR. It does have some Vaseline moments but overall it looks good. I should have my new RAM today and looking forward to some better load times and stutter fixes. ATI builds a good card but I think the Nvidia really works with the developers. ATI seems a bit recluse. Who knows, it s a Chevy Ford argument. I am running a DUO Core ES5400 2.7 processor, overclocked to 3.7. It runs the sim awesome with no overheating issues. The sim runs fairly well on 2 gigs of ram but I would suggest going to 4. You will see better load times with terrain texture when climbing or descending quickly. I am sure a lot of that will clean up with optimizing. All in All ED I am very pleased with the Sim and if you are a flight sim junkie like me, it's a must! Waiting on the next Beta release but it's headed in the right direction. The learning curve is steep and it takes a lot of "in-game" to master, but hell that's why were all here isn't it? Greb out!

Nice slo mo on the weapons release!

Yeah seen that one too! There is another good one, you can hear the firefight through the guys mic on the ground. The one I posted at the top really hit me. That guy really has some big cahonies!

HUD video of an A10 Pilot providing support to ground troops. Notice how realistic ED got the HUD. As you can see this guy is really pushing his Hog to the limits. He is taking heavy triple AAA, but he never leaves the target. He is finally shot down and recovered. There is a link to the news story on you tube if you want to check it out. He never abandons his post! .....this Pilot is a F**king hero!

When I was in the ARMY we were in the field taking a break. My buddy and I were sitting on the front of a Hum V and eating. We were at the base of a small hill and it was real quiet. Then out of nowhere an A10 flew right over the top of the us. Never even heard the damn thing coming. Scared the hell out of both of us....I swear I could hear the pilot laughing as he flew off. Having an A10 loitering around a combat zone gives that same shrill up your spine when you hear a shotgun shell being chambered. It's like firing a .44 Mag. The freegin sound of it enough to scare an intruder. When you look at the kill ratio and equipment destroyed by the A10...I don't see it going away anytime soon.

Well MadDog it's official! ..I'm jealous! Gonna check into that myself.

LOL!!!! I need to map that to my HOTAS!!! Nice Boxer MadDog! I have a Bullmastiff myself! She is my second one and they are just greatest dogs!

Thank ya Sir! It is now my Desktop Also! ....It's the Flag.....makes my heart swell every time I see it! ....the A10 is just an added bonus!

NICE!!!!!! Any chance you have that in a higher Rez Seahawk?

Great Info Frogfoot! Just ordered a similar Video Card. Should have it by the end of the week. Looking forward to flying at higher settings!

SWEET!!! Love the look of the Leaf!
