Skitter

What I am seriously missing is an Infantry JTAC. If I create a mission where I would like to place a JTAC behind enemy lines, maybe with a group of soldiers for protection, preferably on a hill top I have to put a humvee or an APC! This is rediculous. Couldn't we have a model of manpad infantry with SOFLAM instead? Somebody please, please, please fix that!

Thanks :-)

A guy in our squadron created a mission where he was in a role of the Game Master. He was also doing all the ATC and ground units voices using morphing software. IMHO it was the best game experience ever. You have to have some acting and directing skills to do it right, next to the game skills. The ability to talk to the ground units instead of just listening to messages puts the game up on a different level. Here's video from the mission:

Hi, I was playing JTAC in CA and was laser marking targets to get range or coordinates and that made me wonder...Would some of the better equipped vehicles detect my laser and open fire in the real world ? I had a quick google search and found some information on BEA Systems website: Cheers. EDIT: I know it's only a beta.

Ptako: It is more a matter of preference. The guys I play with prefer MGRS in A-10. Also, I entered the server with MGRS set as default, so there was no such option... No Carrier: Thanks. Found it under "general" controls. Works great.

Hi guys, I started playing with CA and during my last game I had a couple of A-10s and a KA-50 on my stack. I bumped into a problem. The KA-50 takes L-L coordinates, but A-10 preferred the MGRS. I wonder if there is a way to switch between the two, while you look through binos ? Sorry if I am duplicating another thread like this. I'll remove it if I do. Thanks

I don't want to create another thread about binos before somebody confirm this: When I switch to binos, as soon as I move the mouse, even a tiny bit, the view shoots up and I am looking at clouds. I can normally move mouse down and start using the binos, but it is a major discomfort when I am switching between binos and the normal view. Any idea ? Thanks.

ENO, that's a good one. You just need to find PATIENT hog drivers to fly with.

Hi guys, anybody could explain what : - RT. "Lateral offset in Mils" - UP. "Vertical offset in Mils" ..are for in the weapon parameters please ? Cheers.

- Smell that? You smell that? - DCS 1.2.7 son! Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of a fresh patch in the morning...

Have you tried running "Repair DCS World" ?

"Point A: who is going to wait 2 hours until someone comes and picks up an ejected pilot? I have played in servers where if you eject (over land) a smoke marker deploys and co-ords are sent to the chopper pilots. after about 1 minute of waiting for the chopper, the ejected player returns to the lobby and rejoins back into the aircraft making the smoke marker idea a waste of effort for the mission designer." That's awesome ! Where is the server ?! I think it makes sense for organizes groups like you know, the virtual squadrons. Do you know if TARS implementation of rescue (guard?) channel works after you eject ? I totally agree with the raft idea and ability to pickup rescued pilots. Maybe some logics should be added for enemy units who spot a parachute of a downed pilot, to try to capture him ? I think at the moment you can just walk up to an enemy BMP that shot you down, knock, knock it's armour and say "Hey boy! You think that was funny ??" p.s sorry if I am insinuating I am intelligent. I don't mean to.

- You make high G turns and lean slightly to a side to compensate when taking corners on a corridor. - You fart and then you are amazed the sound resembles the GAU-8 ! - You plan tactics and make touch and go attempts with your hand over your desk at work. - You consider persuading your gf / wife to play Combined Arms and laser mark targets for you.

Well, I am sure you could find a purpose for that....but I want to talk on one at a time, but record the voice of which ever I use .

Hi Guys, I am sure somebody bumped into the same problem before... How to record TARS transmissions while recording a DCS A-10 game ? FRAPS - has a feature to record microphone input when a key is pressed, or alternatively you can just record everything that the microphone "hears". The last option is not very attractive. I have all three radios mapped into the Warthog throttle's three mics buttons/switches. I managed to map them in TARGET to a single keypress, but when I am using TARGET the plane behaves very strange... I wonder if anybody have a ready solution to map those three buttons into one key press ?

If you played Dangerous Waters you know how difficult it is to simulate sound propagation. It would add another level to the sim. Would it be possible for sim to handle it ?

I didn't know the T bar disconnects the fuel. If it's still on fire after the fire extinguisher shot, would it help to switch the fuel flow switch ?

Another thing, I notice that TGP auto lase fails if the approach is not stable enough, like when you try to pickle after a hard turn. But, I don't consider it to be bug , but realism.

Ithe idea was great and how the film developed in the beginning. I was positively surprised. But then after half of the film it turns into regular American hero cheesy film with American flags all over and "we don't leave anybody behind" even if we die... The last 20 - 30 minutes just lacks imaginativeness. Especially the final fights...and all this American pathos of the righteous people.....makes me feel sick.

KC-10 would be great, with missions to supply fuel. ...or C-130. AC-130 Spectre would be awesome.

If there is a possibility to walk around (after ejection), I wonder why there is no infantry JTAC ? Just add a binocular view (+ laser and etc..) and it would be so much fun !!! Even though you cannot control infantry units from first person view, it would add so much to the game play if there was the binocular view!

- Encyclopedia of vehicles with pictures to assist in spotting targets. With views from top, front, side... + weaponry + weapon ranges - Application to give estimates on how much longer you can stay in the air, based on your fuel consumption.

Looks like a fiction to me..

Any idea what is the maximum angle you can sustain before the engines start to run out of fuel ?
