Hands on Air to Air Refueling!!! Yea or nay? :)

I remember a YouTube video of an A-10C landing on top of Texaco. I just did a quick search but couldn't find it, but I know it's out there! He stayed on top of the tanker, even after shutting down motors. Edit: Sniped by Winfield! Thanks for the link :)

I remember European Air War back in the late 90's early 2000's. When you put a couple well placed shots in the cockpit, you were rewarded with a red smear on the canopy. I thought it was also a nice touch that when you were the recipient of said well placed shots, the screen immediately faded to black. Rough stuff, those close range .50 cal bursts...

Looking good! Can't wait to see this bird in action!

:D I love how casually you advise him to dodge 12 missiles. Childs play, really :thumbup:

If I could make a recommendation... if you're comfortable with the complexity of the A-10C you should definitely get that one and fly it while your son flies the 10A. One of the hardest things in this game is spotting and identifying targets, and if you have a tgp that helps IMMENSELY. You could load up some smoke rockets and do some AFAC for your wingman. Also the advantage of being able to tell which target is a T-72 and which is a SA-9 should be pretty obvious. Just a thought...

Yeah I'm aware of that, but that can apply to muzzle flashes and ground explosions and stuff like that. Merely trying to illustrate that the lighting effects need work, and that lights at night should be much more noticeable than they are.

Also, nav and anticollision lights need to be waaay more noticeable. In the game, all you get is a single pixel on the screen. Easy to miss. In real life, you can see those lights from 100 miles away if it's a clear night. It would be nice if something was done to make those lights easier to spot. Just a thought

There's always A-10C v1.1.1.1 :music_whistling:

When I first saw this thread I had to check to make sure I wasn't in the MechWarrior Online forums. :D

You can still do that in the Shark if you want. Load her up with rockets and gun pods, set your cannon to boresight, drop the nose and let her rip :)

A really cool video! Thanks for sharing :)

Meh... You can't model everything. Personally I'm ok with them cutting that particular corner. On another note, I got P-51D for $10 and even though I rarely fly it, I can still recognize that it's a tremendous steal at twice that price.

Picked it up during the much maligned sale earlier this year ;)

That's a whoooole lotta GBUs

Just give him some more throttle ;)

I would kill for a Night Shark. That bird would just be nasty if it could hunt in the dark. In the meantime, I have to convince my buddy to drop some LUU-2s from his hawg.

Would it be a little too farfetched to start a DCS RAH-66 thread in the wishlist forum?

What about when EDGE is released? Won't that allow for multithreading (one for graphics, one for physics)? That's my understanding anyway. Could be wrong.

Hmmm... not sure a lot of FPS twitch shooters (not the most patient of souls) are going to be lining up to be the white blob in the center of a TGPs crosshairs. Prob not a lot of fun to have a GBU hit you in the forehead from 18000 ft

Truly a fantastic analogy :thumbup:

ED Forums, 10 years of dealing with the best the internet has to offer

What's with the sense of entitlement? I checked the thread just to see what it was about but didn't have any tips for you so I didn't post. Guess that makes me a bad person. ur wlcm man !

Bomblet drift is not corrected. Make sure you take this into account when you set your SPI, as this is the CBU's activation point.

Wait until you try AAR! Truly not for the faint of heart :joystick:
