ST0RM

I'm enjoying this server but find that it's very quiet. No one uses their TS server to coordinate. Are people using something else? Or their own?

Flew this today on the BLUE side. No AWACS info was available. Pretty tough to hunt MiGs.

Thanks. I realize this is only FC3 but with the recent work, I'd hope ED would address some of these. I'll look for the NVG mod. Stinks flying in the dark. And the NTTR wheel popping issue... Well I'll try to rotate sooner but 150kts was the norm in the A-10C, so. -Jeff

The tire issue was with 2.0 NTTR I should have added that. However, the lights are in stable 1.5.5

Noticed a few problems with the A-10A lately. Medium load, the main gear tire will shread at (140-150kts) on takeoff. (70% fuel, 2xAGM65D, 2xMk82, 2xCBU97, 2xLAU68, 2xAIM9M, 1xALQ184) No interior cockpit lights, not even flashlight. No NVG function.

The AI Wingman has this, but not the actual player aircraft. Weird

Worry less about the lights (they are difficult to see in game) and fly formation with the tanker to the contact position. Dont chase the boom. Align with the long yellow stripe on the tanker belly. Small stick inputs. The A/R speed is established, so minor throttle adjustments.

I've actually looked into the lua and made the change myself. However, now I understand why the larger 19-shot LAU was used on the L. To hide the default 8-shot SNEB pod. Apparently the way the M261 weapon is loaded, it's all, not in pieces. So the SNEB cant be removed.?.? Thanks for checking back. I'd be interested in hearing of any further develpments. -Jeff P.S. I've found pics of the Lima armed with HOTs. So maybe an export market thing.

Thank you! Totally missed it in the search. Cheers!

Like this:

The Cavalier Mustangs were cleared for many modern weapons (for their time). Additionally, the South American operators were rumored to wire up whatever was on hand. Thanks for the interest Hawkeye. -Jeff

Have there been any weapon mods to allow modern rocket pods to be carried by the P-51? I saw a YouTube video of a guy using the Mustang in place of a Skyraider and thought it would benefit from something like that. Thanks in advance. -Jeff

Any chance of some new Adversary Vipers? That boring Lizard scheme is really repetitive on the ramp. Thanks!

They flash for me on 2.0

In future updates, can the LAU-68 with HE rockets be added to both the Sa342L and M? Currently the WP rockets are only available to the M. On L, the 19-shot LAU is pretty big and bulky. Thanks! Jeff

Great job fellas!

I'm thoroughly enjoying this mod. It gives a psuedo OH-58 capability to the sim. The only issue is weight when carrying the new weapons. I'm sacrificing fuel/range but like the capability. Does the Hellfire have longer range than the HOT3's 4300 meters/4.3Km? Just checking standoff ability and for mission planning. Thanks! Jeff

I discovered when building a mission that I could not have two different types of aircraft in formation with each other. I was trying to create a Hunter/Killer team of a Sa-342M and a Sa342L. But it wouldnt allow it. Can we see this in future updates please?

Thank you. We're finally able to populate the T-Bird hangar at Nellis. And Creech during a practice session.

Thanks Squid. Love your groups missions. I look for them when I'm online. And thank you again for the script. I'll start using it in ours. Our fast mover drivers will appreciate the lasing. Cheers, Jeff

I was on the 99th's server last night and using the F10 function, became a FAC and it said I had the option to lase a target using codes 1113 or 1688. Russian or US codes... However, after reading through the Q&A above, this isnt actually possible as the Gazelle's onboard laser is ranging only. So how can I add this option to my missions so that I can lase for my buddies in the fast movers? Is there a special mod/script? Thanks. I'm really loving this BTW. -Jeff

Next time I visit Norman (I'm down in Altus), maybe I can see this in person. Very interested. -Jeff

Great tips Shagrat. I'll utilize these as well with the understanding there is further work necessary.
