Note that my post was half "omgz0tz amazing blablabla awesome" and the other part was just 1 tiny little thing. ^^ Dude cmon! And - no video yet.

Yep, he's the man.

A man of few words eh, jesus man...

Speed, as you might have not noticed, I edited my post. :) I guess I kept the tab open in FF waaay to long, hehe. You are right about moving vehicles - laze early.

Appreciate the understanding. :)

You would not use auto-laze to feel more 1337. Other than that and buddy lazing I have no use for manual laze. In DCS A-10 I have never met a vehicle that was being a bitch about being painted. So I always keep my lase time at 15 seconds, works good enuff. Edit: Speed's post just popped up. When I engage a moving vehicle I also manually lase the target using TGP's latch lase function. This really hits tanks etc. on the move, impressive.

God. Damn it. Another responst à la "go to the manual". Dammit, sorry guy. :-/ Thank god threads dont take up much space on the server, hehe. Can any of you explain to me why the A-10 would do that? I thought that after you take your time to configure your profile you should be able to use it in any way possible... Thanks for the answers!

Thanks for the post! Gotta be some strong wind!

I tried this today. It seems like trimming is still avaible. When I press my trim keys my plane responds to them. But instead of "nose up" it does "nose down" and vice versa. I dont know... It felt interesting and as paul said - it's easy to loose control. But if you make slow, steady movements it's all cool. Tried a belly landing with it, worked out well. I came in way to fast with no flaps or anything and then basically did a stoppie on my gun, turned over and went BOOM. Never again, hahaha.

Show me. Prove. Pictures, videos, code. All that stuff. I mean I believe you if you say it. Why would you said it if it was not true. But it's just DCS lacks a bit of "show off" that some people would like to see. :) Or maybe I just missed it all because I joined DCS with the A-10.

Hey folks. This is a bug. Most of us release the GBU12 in CCRP mode and then lase the target. If you set the GBU12 to CCRP mode in the profile page, do all the settings, save the profile and then select it with the buttons in the DSMS you will get a CCIP line on the hud. The only way to have it on CCRP is by using the select switch on the UFC with the HUD as SOI. Track attached. gbu12_relModeBug.trk

Thank you for your response!:) What do you mean by "trip"? In the manual it says that roll is provided by the trim tabs on the ailerons. So that means I can not use the joystick for roll and HAVE to use trimming? Quite tedious. :D

Hey folks! I would like to experience what it is like to fly without the hydraulics driving the control surfaces. Is there a way? A switch to flip? I mean theoretically the control surfaces will barely react at high speeds, I wanna experience that. :) Also - how does trimming work without the hydraulics? Do I use the same keys? Or is there a separate trimmer? I saw a trimmer-like thing on the emergency panel but I have no idea how to use it. Thanks a lot in advance!

Like... Cmon man... I mean... Oww maaaan. How can someone be ignorant on that? I mean... It is so crucial to the aircraft's feel. Wow. ^^ Hahaha.

Thanks for the info sobek. Jeez that's retarded. You'd think with all the force calculations you could fit in a systemm for that. Lol.

God damn it, I was looking forward to a lean-back mission. Using some systems to aquire targets and pop em and GTFO. Thanks for ruining my dreams, Viper.

Don't you dare putting any manpads or SAMs in there man... ZU-23s max! I mean - cmon... They would never send out A10s with just MAVs into combat area with sams and manpads... Would they? :cry: What is "a parking lot or two"?

Thanks. Well that was what I tried to "simulate". People with butt kickers are reporting great success. :) Their ass shakes. Hahaha. In my small world it's like this: Sound in a video game is not only how something sounds. It is also a gameplay element. Sound has to give the player feedback about what he is doing. So if he is firing a big gun, it should make him feel like he is firing a big gun. So all I did was add a low frequency (ROF of the GAU8) sinus tone to the samples and that's that. :) Problem solved. Still sounds good but has more "flesh" to it than the stuff without the low end. Have you tried the engine samples yet? I have made a very simple install/deinstall system. Please take a look. :) @Visual Feedback: Go post that stuff into DCS Suggestions thread guys? I mean I am up for a SMALL vibration. Keep in mind that a human is much more shock resistant than a camera.

What I like is that X-Plane calculates the forces on the planes precisely. I dont think any other flight sim does that, instead they try to "simulate" a flying characteristic. Correct me if I am wrong.

Why don't you do the start up tutorial a few times? It's really easy once you did it a few times, you learn a lot about the aircraft and also it's much more fun than pressing a cheat every time. I got a buddy of mine "converted" to manual start up, he's enjoying it a lot. :)

Thanks for the input paul. Question though, does the gun shake the aircraft? Like a very strong vibration?

Aww maaaaaaaan! :( Page 24 of the flight manual. :( It's just describing the over all A-10C and not the simulation but... Still. :( I like to play with old stuff, hahaha.

If your throttle is at 0 you can move the ingame throttle from OFF to IDLE. If your joystick throttle is HIGHER than 0 you can not do it though... As far as I know. Correct me ifI am wrong. So try that. Hold down numpad minus for a few seconds to make sure your input is at zero. Then try to start the engines. Also press RCTRL + ENTER to activate the input monitoring. Make sure your throttle there is at zero.

Hey folks. I just looked for "pave penny" in the manual and there is pretty much no information on how to deploy this system. Thus my question - how to use it? How to set it up to catch laser energy? Do I have to look directly at the target zone or is it flexible? Will I see the mark on the HUD? Anything you know - gimme! :D Thanks a lot in advance.

****, no auto pilot... LOL :D The book is coming in in a few days. Excited.
