I've seen a lot of real world USAF videos, where a deployed LGB or AGM-65 broadcasts video from the seeker head to an MFD until it hits the target, giving the pilot an idea of the weapon's status. However, I can't seem to find how to enable that in A-10C...is it implemented, and if so, how does one set it up for that?

Okay, so....I've practiced this...and have done so a LOT. I see Yotube videos of people approaching the tanker, and they stay smooth all throughout. So...I trim the aircraft, check. I can take my hand off the stick and the jet flys perfectly level. I get up behind the tanker, and it's working nice until I get riiiiight into boom range. Then 'smooth ride' goes from 'tiny raft in 20-foot swells.' With no stick input or shifts in the aircrafts attitude, it get soved to the right, shove upwards into the tanker, downards away from the tanker. Despite staying more or less level (and trimmed), the tanker insists on dancing all over the place, and as a result when I DO get connected, it doesn't last for more than a couple seconds because another shove breaks the contact. I keep reading and seeing tutotrials: as long as you trim the aircraft, all you really need to worry about is adjusting speed. IN WHAT UNIVERSE!? D: In mine, the simulator is really insistant in shoving the aicraft all around and requiring frantic compensation.

I'm noticing black or white artifacts have a tendency to appear in the top right, stay there awhile, disappear, then come back again. Any ideas?

I'm mulling picking up DCS Black Shark during the Steam sale (it's $5.00). Question is, if I do, will I be able to include it in World (not having BS2), or will it be stand alone only?

Redownloading and reinstalling seems to have fixed it. Apparently my copy of World was a tiiiiiny bit out of date

I'm getting the same issue with A-10C

Thanks Do I have to verify my Steam account so ED knows I legally own a copy of A-10C?

While I'm downloading DCS World, I have a quick question: I have the Steam version of A-10C, will World automatically detect it, or will I have to do something special to get the Steam version to work with World?

I've got something odd going on today. I load up various stores with the GBU-31, but the model is gone. The DMS tells me I have the weapon, but the station is empty on the model and nothing shows up when the weapon is dropped. Can anyone help me figure out how the heck this happened?

Check around 1:13. :3 I've never been able to pull that off nearly as smoothly as he does.

I've tried it empty with a fuel load ranging from 30 to 50%. Same result.

I've been playing this sim for awhile now, and there are things still baffling me. For one, any kind of turn that is above 4-gs, the plane seems to shudder, wobble, alarms sound, and it starts to drop. Then, the thing seems to have major trouble accelerating beyond 250 knots. Now, I've been to air shows and seen the A-10 demonstrated, seen docs on the A-10...and this thing seems to have half the performance of the real one. For one, the very beginning of the USAF A-10 demo is the aircraft going into an abrupt, vertical climb at the end of the runway. Times I tried that, the thing practically falls out of the sky.

I say F-14. Been a world favorite for years but never got a proper sim treatment.

Here are some maps I'd like, personally. Fantasy maps. Why be limited to real world maps but also include what comes from a dev's imagination? Imagine flying under Pandora-esque floating mountains, weaving in and out of enormous monuments thousands of feet high....or a birdstrike via hitting a unicorn/Pegasus. That being said, how about a map creation kit?

Funny thing is, on another pass, they did go around when they noticed an E-3 coming in ahead of them. So they CAN notice...they just have to want it.

Well, when you watch the other angles (which I need to record), you'd see they came within a couple feet of colliding. XD

Kind of nice to compare the real kaboom to the FLIR kaboom.

For video and screenshot purposes, I've been trying for a long time to get tight formations on DCS. Problem is, the closest the wingman will ever come (except take off/landing) is still a significant distance. Is there anything to tweak to maybe bring the wingman in much, much closer (see photo below)?

Thanks everyone! Very much appreciated. :thumbup:

Just wanted to share a few of the videos I've made since I started this game about a month ago. I'm still learning...but...I think I have some potential!

Hi, I'm one of those people who like to make videos and 'screen shot' art with sims like this, and this seems like one of the most perfect sims for that. But, I have a question. I have seen a few videos where they have moved the free camera to almost right next to the ground such as this one: . An example is the 1:13 mark. However, when I try to do it in the sim, I can't go any lower than about canopy level, it just won't go any lower. How exactly does one get that angle?

Know what would rock...if there was an option where if you strayed too close to Groom Lake and didn't turn around as instructed, the air defenses would go crazy.
