I'm not sure, i'd have to do the mission again but is it possible you are suppose to enter 1500?

Uh oh. Don't answer the door if its men in black suits, scrapple.

Perhaps weapon delivery is described well enough in the manual. To be honest, I'm particularly interested in the correct startup, taxi, take off and landing procedures. Maybe someone has a pilot handbook of some sort?

I really like to do things by the book for maximum immersion but the manual doesn't give much information about how to fly like they do in the Air Force. Does anyone have some kind of guide or manual that gives every procedure they have to follow when taking off, using the weapons, landing etc?

Thats really all there is to it. Don't let yourself get discouraged by all there is to learn. Just take it 1 step at the time. Practice is the key.

The landing training in game should answer your question. But basically you don't need to ask for azimuth unless you forgot your bearing. I think they are just directing you to the same point but because you moved since the first bearing its slightly different this time. I'm just starting myself so its hard for me to explain but i know exactly what you mean and i'm pretty sure if you did the landing training mission in game it would answer your question.

I like to zoom in when coming on a gun run, makes it much easier.

From the manual:

Can you still pan around with the number pad? It also happens to me from time to time where the mouse just won't pan the exterior camera anymore but it always works with the numpad. I'm not sure why to be honest.

I don't have DCS Mustang but i've played a LOT of WWII sims and you are right. Full back stick and full left or right rudder should cause a spin.

Did you try lowering the Mav slew rate? That might help.

Then i don't know what happened. I was flying in one of Threshor's training missions (6 Mavs, 6 tanks, 1 pass) to actually practice gun runs. After i ran out of ammo I wanted to use the Mavericks to dispatch the remaining 2 tanks, at the same time i got the check EO time message (after 30 minutes) and noticed the Mav slew was laggy and just wouldn't lock onto targets.

I've just learned (the hard way) that if you leave the Mav's EO power on for 30 minutes or more, it won't lock on targets anymore. Is this correct? Sorry for the thread hijacking.

^ Seems like he was at 0.8nm when he fired at 2:10.

Tried it your way, Viper and it works great. Does anyone know what distance real pilots usually engage armors at?

Apparently it might have to do with graphic settings after all. Quote from the Labels.lua file: So setting visibility range to high will show labels up to 80KMs. Other then that, I don't know.

If I remember the training missions correctly, they said something about opening fire at about 2 miles. After a few tries today, it seemed to me like its way too far a distance to have any chance at destroying a tank. So my question is: What range do A-10 pilots usually engage armored targets at IRL and what distances do you guys prefer?

You can change the label values in Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\View

Quick question: Is T/O trim reserved only to setup for takeoff or can it be used to reset the trim whilst in flight?

Ya i remember seeing that. Fingers crossed.

BF3's planes are just terrible!

Any news on the EDGE engine? Did they give a release time frame? EDIT: Found the thread, looks good!

New DCS Maps Wish List I can't stop thinking how awesome it would be to fly the A-10 over Afghanistan. I know its a lot to ask at this time with all that's been going on in DCS. I just hope its in ED's plans to eventually make this happen. Keep up the great work guys, i see a great future for this series!

I thought of doing that but i'm not sure which files are missing... Or how to find out. I'm new to this whole skinning business. EDIT: Figured out which were missing, thanks for the tip!

Found one here, Only 1 small problem... Any ideas? I'm guessing the skin is not compatible with my version of DCS?
