I would double-check all of your axis inputs. The first time I flew the Su-25T, unbeknownst to me, it had mapped a slider to a throttle and my left throttle to the rudder.

Have you set up suppliers for the various airfields/warehouses? Doing so has caused an error in attempting to delete "stuff" in missions.

Holy crap, I figured out why it wasn't working for me and I would've been clueless without your help sir. I know warehouses/suppliers are not fully implemented, but I was playing with it during the mission. In the mission log, when you try to delete something, it checks for suppliers, somehow (relevant log attached). Removing all the supplier chains from the mission allows my units to be deleted again. Thank you sir. me-deleteerror.log.txt

I've run into the same issue. This is a noobish, I barely know what I'm doing, mission to help some friends with navigation/formation work. At some point, I became unable to delete air units. My attempts to recreate the issue are making me pull my hair out because I haven't figured out the malfunction yet. A new mission with similar units and waypoints allows me to delete units with wild abandon. Perhaps somebody here can see something helpful. There are no triggers, it's just planes and waypoints.

Have you tried it twice? Slide them off. If nothing happens, slide them back on and then off again. You should see a response on the in-game throttle. If nothing still happens, I'd guess either a faulty throttle (unlikely) or a TARGET profile getting in the way (almost as unlikely if you've never run TARGET).

Apparently the LAU-117 Dual Mode launcher is 1760 compliant, implying that it could go on any 1760 hardpoint, of which the A-10 has 6. I don't know if additional wiring or interfacing is required in addition to the 1760 interface though. Disclaimer: I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.

To answer your question Hitman, if you move the throttles forward and nothing happens, put them back in the detent again and then forward. By default, the cockpit is not synced to the various switch positions on the throttle. The metal switches don't care, but the flaps and the throttles themselves require moving them into their default position after the sim has started in order for them to be recognized in that position. There's an option in the settings somewhere to sync the cockpit to your throttle (technically stick as well, but we don't have any switches on that which aren't spring loaded) on unpause, and that may fix it if you want to go that way, but I've never actually tried it.

You can also adjust your desired time on target in the CDU for the waypoint (on the waypoint page I think).

I will happily admit you're right here. Was a fun discussion at least.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39311950/InflightAlign_JDAMsBroke.trk (Edit: I haven't actually watched the track, so if it looks more like I just exploded on the runway, that's wrong...) Here's a short track of Inflight Alignment and takeoff from Batumi, something close to how I'd scramble ... still need practice there. (Yes, there's a ton wrong with this startup, but if anything specifically other than the EGI alignment is causing the JDAMs to not arm, please point it out.) No warning lights, no master caution aside from the APU Generator, and the JDAMs list themselves all as ALN UNS. There's nothing in the flight manual that says they require a 4 minute alignment. If that's the case, fine, but I want something that says that other than our observations.

Dammit ... if I'm completely wrong about this I'm going to facepalm hard.

The DSMS will tell you that the JDAM isn't aligned, but the panel (if we're talking about the same thing that is...) doesn't care if the EGI has a 1.4 minute align or a 4 minute align as long as it's legitimately in NAV mode. (And a quick edit for the record, I know what you're saying is otherwise true ... I'm mostly arguing semantics on the caution light panel.)

I'm pretty sure I can take off with no warnings and JDAMs that won't fall off the plane when I tell them to. Not sure what you're getting at here.

I learned this the hard way. It doesn't seem to let the GBU's align if the EGI didn't get a full 4.0 0.8 align. I too would like to know if this is accurate. It would also be good to know that if they got a good align and then I did something stupid (say, a strange stall that caused a temporary power failure to all instrumentation and stalled an engine) which requires a new inflight alignment, would my GBU's be 500 pound paperweights or would they be able to be dropped? Why am I asking this? I should just go test it tonight.

Pre 1.1.0.9 they were very broken, but going back to them after 1.1.0.9 I've found that they work pretty well, though I'm not sure I've redone Take-off or Navigation since 1.1.0.9. My only advice is to make sure you wait til he's done talking to flip switches or change settings. He seems to occasionally not notice if you do it before he finishes speaking.
