  1. Just checked in for update as well. Still remember Christmas 2013 when they said it might be delayed to early 14.

    Haven't been playing while waiting. guess I'll check back in a couple of more months. :thumbup: I figured they're waiting for DX 12 to be released in a few months before releasing the DX11 update.:music_whistling:

  2. Oh really? Well, you are the expert here, so why was the open beta then updated at all? The latest version of the open beta of today was a patch of about 240 MB for me. And that version is now live as release version. Untested as the open beta procedure is concerned.

     

    Because the latest version of the open beta has to be modified to update from 1.2.6 and not the previous 1.2.7 beta?

  3. Sounds like Xplane 10

    Either way they do need to keep up with the latest technologies and video cards, as well as being able to handle more RAM.

    In the last couple of years advances in PC hardware has slowed dramatically which is giving developers time to catch up, and run on software platforms for a longer period of time.

  4. I've been in several beta's over the years and quite frankly I've never seen on that went soo long between updates. If the regular beta had similar delays along the way it could be part of the long standing issues over the last couple of years. More frequent small fixes that allow the developers to test possible fixes would seem more the norm.

  5. Depends how packed the truck was?? and what was in the truck??

     

    The issue is that in 1.2.6 if you hit the truck, only the convoy and sometimes 2 escort vehicles are destroyed. In the beta the same strike is taking out 5 convoys. The only change from previous was to open and re-save in 1.2.7. Did the explosion mission trigger in game get changed?

  6. Was playing the Dragon Rookie Terrorist map.

    At the end of the map there area 5 or 6 convoys, each with an explosive truck and 2 escort vehicle.

    The first convoy hadn't triggered yet. I dropped a CBU-105 on the last convoy. The explosion was enormous and destroyed every convoy as well as vehicles in a very large area. I've attacked the same way many times and only the convoy attacked would be hit (They're far enough apart). I believe the explosive truck may be too powerful. I didn't see the CBU's hit anything out of the ordinary.

     

    I then attacked a group of stationary vehicles with another CBU. The resulting damage appeared to be the same as in the past.

  7. First the good thing: ATC now works in Dragons Rookie terrorists map. (Hadn't for a very long time)

     

    Don't know if it's a bug but after a mission in same map I selected the ATC menu and all entries showed either London, Parris, Moscow, or Dallas.

    Kept trying and at about 5 miles from the runway, Gudata showed up at entry 1 and worked. The remaining entries continued to say London, paris etc.

  8. The worst mistake people make is trying to learn everything the same time.

    First learn to start the plane properly and get it off the ground.

    Then learn basic maneuvers including landing (which is very easy)

    Then go shoot some stuff with the GAU-8 (easiest weapon to learn)

     

    After that pick one item and practice it until it's second nature.

    Don't try anything else until you get proficient in the previous item.

     

    This will take months, but if you take it a little at a time you'll be loving it before long.

    You can also fly FC3 and others and just dedicate a half hour to hour at a time in the A-10C until the light bulb goes off. After that you'll be hooked.

    Good Luck :pilotfly:

  9. Also Distance and Altitude.

    If you are near the target area the field of view is too narrow and the ground is passing by too fast, making searching a difficult if impossible task.

     

    Climb to 15k plus and search the target area while 15 miles plus out. Also as noted before try switching between hot and cold modes. You will find things a lot easier with practice that way. Also if you see a little green X in the area of the targets they are friendly.

    Good Luck
