Strange I just recovered my forum password to post this after not finding any messages. Looks like you beat me to it by 20 minutes ;) I have the same issue.

I recently read a post about entering wind details into the LASTE component of the CDU to improve dumb bomb delivery. I followed the guide but when I get to the bit where you have to enter the altitude for the wind data I start with line 1 as 00 (ground level). This is fine. But when I enter 06 (for 6000ft) it goes in as 03. I tried 09 and this goes in as 07. I'm confused, does anyone have an explaination.

I was using the new CBU's and noticed that if you leave the HOF as default...they either don't work or don't split in time to be fully effective. What settings including the HOF are people using to get the most out of them? Cheers Split.

I have been trying to practice the CCIP method of dropping bombs (not using CR). I'd like to be able to "properly" drop the bombs without the Minimum range staple making the solution invalid (This always happens to me). Could people give me some guidance on things like the distance away from the target before starting the dive. The dive angle. Fuze settings. Minimum altitude etc etc. I hear alot of people who say its easier to manually drop bombs with CCIP than using the guided munitions, I am apparently the opposite.

I saw a video of someone panning around the map using the TAD with it completely unlinked from your aircraft in the centre. I've looked in the manual but am unable to find out how to do this. Could someone explain how please?

So has anyone found out the real reason that this happens from time to time? I myself have experienced it a few times and its usually associated with pulling stupid amounts of G coming out of a strafing run/dive bomb.

Well I was watching that and you didn't get any replies from atc when I was watching. I can't tell why, your radio was powered on and you were using simple radio so it should work. I'm guessing you don't have to use the correct radio with the simple radio? I don't know since I don't use it.

Do you have a screenshot?

Thanks for the clarification guys.

Had a scan of the manual and couldn't find the answer to this. What are the different uses of the IR pointer and the laser in the a-10? Sorry for the newb question.

Remind me not to fly with you online... :helpsmilie:

I'm guessing CCIP-CR is used as a faster way to acquire a target. It may also be preferable to use if you aren't carrying a TGP on board with which to set the spi

Sorry to be thick, but could you be a bit more specific about the line in the graphics.cfg that needs changing? There's a few LOD lines in there. Thanks

I have noticed since I patched that system failures listed in the track information no longer tell you which system has been affected. Is this new with the patch? A bug? Or is this a problem with my own setup?

I would like to know if anyone has any tips finding the heading of a tank column using the tgp, I'm assuming theres a few techniques for doing this but when I try I'm not having much luck. PS: That should be a moving tank column.
