I'm wondering since this is up and operational that ED can make a "regular" A-4 forum on the front page with the rest of the aircraft. A little tougher when this is buried in the mod forum.

I've been struggling getting the armament to work. It looks like for the rockets, you need to turn the guns off and user the "trigger" to do it. I've dropped bombs, but am not quite sure what triggers that yet. Maybe the two rotary knobs at the bottom to set quantities and gaps between bombs. It looks like the station knobs are pushed "in" to activate.

Not meaning to awaken dead zombies... Does anyone have experience with Thrustmaster TFRP Flight Rudder Pedals ? For me, they work in an "all or nothing" mode with no way to proportionally move the rudder. The "tilty" function of the pedals won't work either. Is there a good way to set these up? Thanks Ed

Thanks man. You've been a lifesaver for most of the planes. ...except the F-5. I think a trained cat could figure out air to ground in that one.

I'm sure "Chuck" will save us. :)

Operation Eagle Claw was the attempt to rescue the hostages. Not so much a plan to "attack" Iran. Things got messed up quickly carrying this out.

Brings back memories of the old "Flight of the Intruder" sim. My friend and I would play that endlessly. One of us would fly while the other would be screwing around with DIANE, trying to target things. I'd always tick him off in that game by split-essing an F-4 from 5,000 ft right onto the carrier deck. AOA modeling nowadays killed that trick.

Based on all the photos I've seen from WWII to present, I'd say even with the deck is default.

Figured out my launch issue. With the update, my carrier got flipped to the older Nimitz in the Editor, which apparently has no catapults. Problem solved.

No, I believe it's closed to start with. I'll double check tonight.

Since the patch, I've had an issue launching the Hornet from a carrier. It's at about 90 kts off the cat, which puts me in the drink.

Tricky to get used to. I just put the vector on top of the wires at 170-180 kts.

Waiting for Chuck's guide to show up so I can know what I'm doing. :)

It would be great if there was a way to bring up one of the TBDs, as none are in existence otherwise.

Got it going. Thanks.

Thanks. Didn't realize there was another version. I have the regular install and the open alpha.

Hi, I've just purchased the AV-8B module. I don't see it anywhere on my install. I still have 1.5.7, and can't seem to find any way to get it to 1.5.8. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.

This is the first one I actually bought. Dynamix A-10

Not counting the Space Shuttle game for the Atari 2600, Jet is what I first flew. It was on the computer at my AFROTC det. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_(video_game) I think I owned everything that came out in the 90s. Falcon 3 got a lot of miles out of me. My friend and I played a lot of "Flight of the Intruder" back in the day. One of us flew, the other was working DIANE to do the bombing. Back then, AOA wasn't really modeled well. I could split S from 5,000' right onto a trap on the carrier, which always upset my friend. DCS is probably my favorite. It's got the best "feel" of flight I've ever experienced. ZF-

Currently running a GTX 285, probably the slowest part in my system since I rebuilt it two years ago. I have an intel i7 with 16 G of RAM. So far, it's still runs this sim pretty well. My GTX 980 Ti arrives today. :) ZF

20 Casualties of all types. Don't know how many were total write offs. The precise data thing was in reference to total sortie counts. It may be buried in the GAO document. There was a quote from Gen Horner that the Hogs were pulled from hitting RG units due to the hits they were taking.

Thanks -- good to know. Ed-

Hi Guys, I've got an issue trying to fly a MiG-29. I set up a quick 1v2 air to air mission with the player assigned to the '29. The opponents in this case are the new MiG-21s. I did buy the new module. When I start the mission, I'm forced into the cockpit of one of the '21s instead of the '29. Both MiG-21 had "random" set for pilot skill. Thanks, Ed-

I would welcome any Cold War analog-instrumented aircraft of either side. I find them more involving than the super-hud wonders. ZF-
