  1. mvsgas, as the intro to your video says, that is from a AGM-130, which I beleive can be steered mid flight by the crew, which is why it provides video feedback: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-130 I don't think the A-10 are fitted to use this weapon system.
  2. Surely you can create a fast mission, and then edit it to add CA features?
  3. And to keep altitude remember to use the collective brake too. Search for it, plenty of material in the forums :)
  4. Shame not included the UK as an associated Squadron. Will wait to see if this changes, if at all.
  5. The upgrade will enable you to convert a BS1 install to a BS2. BS2 'Upgrade' isn't an upgrade on BS2. Just to make it clear (or not).
  6. Flaw of the pilot more like. To be fair to the system, what you explain sounds like pilot error :) As mentioned earlier, don't engage targets with the gun reticle on the left limit, as the increase in force will rotate you. Counteract with left rudder input.
  7. Yup, very easy to set up. Just reconfigured my views this weekend after having a friend return a monitor. This will help you no end: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=60815
  8. Hi All, Not managed to find this anywhere, but with the addition of more aircraft, 3rd party and DCS's own, creating missions for each aircraft type might get a bit messy, and worse you could find yourself joining a mission to find your favourite aircraft is not catered for. I wonder if the developers have given any thought to having an "any aircraft" slot, so that a player can chose the aircraft to fly, provided that it fills the role specified. For example, consider the future when the Harrier becomes available. It would be nice to have a CAS slot that can be filled by either a Harrier or A-10 pilot. Obviously needs to check that you are not getting any guys wanting to do fighter sweeps in a huey! Now I know the "realistic" way would be to have a mission that caters for all players and aircraft - but a lot of missions won't, and the required development to provide X seats for each aircraft without overloading the server introduces another issue. Wonder what peoples thoughts were on this?
  9. Why don't you turn labels on as well while you are at it? :) It is the bad guy's job to hide in trees and surprise you. Keep your eyes open, fly above the engagement zone, and send in the SEAD birds!
  10. Obvious question, but why not ask out right? Show an interest, and if he enjoys talking about it as much as you think, I am sure he will tell you, and will enjoy telling you. Ask about the stuff he got up to, and what unit he was associated with. I am sure that would make his day. Much better than guessing, then getting a Squadron crest from the wrong unit. You don't have to let on that you are planning to get something.
  11. You are wanting to see something like this? I wouldn't have thought SAMs were that visible as you are flying around... I don't think they are designed with being visible in mind :) But agree, they do leave a nice trail behind:
  12. A small request compared to others, but how about having the correct rank names for each nation you select for the pilot. The effort has gone into to having the correct icons for each rank, but the name is shown as the US equivalent. For example at the moment, pilot is from UK, promoted twice so the icon for Flight Lieutenant will be shown, but rank name given as Captain. I realise this could be edited in the logbook and countries.lua, but would be nice working out of the box.
  13. Old post, I know. But no matter what nationality I select for my pilot, the American rank names are shown. Something I wished came "out of the box", but is it a case of editing the db_countries.lua file? Probably one for the another forum perhaps.
  14. Can you explain why children are starving becuase these "internet" abbreviations are used? I don't use them myself because IMHO their is no excuse for not using correct and proper English, punctuation and sentance structure also. (Irony added for efect)
  15. Guys, on behalf of everyone else who browse the forum and who are not ex or serving US military personnel, can you explain "Artcle 15", NJP and BTH? Thanks.
  16. FF, must be all that smoke or something, but can you remember this thread? http://forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=200010&postcount=12 They discuss the KA50 can land on loads of things, moving trains included. So I imagine the bridge should not be a problem... maybe
  17. Apparently the anhedral angle is what the glider looks like on the ground. The wings flex when in flight according to MS. Just this video was old an the effect was not in place then. So in the release version of FSX, the wings will be flexing to a more beleiveable dihedral angle. But don;t wuote me, I have had to send FSX back, due to having a dodgey DVD disk 2.
  18. In two years time you will be able to buy FS11 (based on current release model). I doubt you will wait that long.
  19. It has also been reported that there will not be an ENglish cockpit, however if you hover your cursor over a control, it will show a tool tip with English translation. I do beleive this is just visible in the startup on a few things, only for a fraction of a second.
  20. Why does the swiss aircraft deflect outwards, while the other 2 inwards. Any reason for this?
  21. I am sure I can find one of my monitors where the night would be pitch black. Sure, the day is also pitch black as well, thats just semantics, its a broken monitor. You guys just need to calibrate the brightness and contrast instead of forking out money. Check your alpha levels as well. If the game is supposed to be black, and your monitor is configured correctly, the screen will be black. I am sure you can find correct calibration tools, pretty sure the driver developers give one away free.
  22. SO thats how you learn to fly? Don't bother with all the expensive of going through PPL training and exams. Just go out, buy something cheap (I hear some old cessnas 152s are cheaper than cars), then just take off and give it a blast. Will save loads of money. Just dont tell the CAA.
  23. One important update is the fact TIR is usable now. So that will help a little with the stiffness, I guess most of us on the forums have a TIR, will be nice to use the cobra with headmovement.
  24. Looking a lot like Battlefield 2 at the moment. Which isn't such a bad thing for the ground models I must say.
  25. It is quite possible I am sure. Just don't expect to be able to use hellfires or TOWS correclty with the cobra/Apache though.
