Mortifa

E-shop is back up and running and I grabbed the upgrades at the great price, thank you.

CYBER attack in Europe. CBC news is carrying a story about a massive cyberattack happening in Europe at this time, that may be the cause. Hopefully DCS will extend the sale for us who got caught on the wrong side of the pond.

Something is wrong because the other modules that are for sale are also not showing up... A question, who do you get the FC3 and Su-25T icons into your signature?

Thanks that is what seems to be going on, blast, but another part of the learning curve.

Hello, So I grabbed FC3 and started horsing around and I am getting truly frustrated. On the SU-27 my hat works, on the F-15C no, and sometimes on the Mig-29S. Same with the thrust, on the SU-27 it works, on the others I have to use keyboard commands. Opened the option section and it states that thrust is assigned to Joy_Z, so what is going on. Got a Logitech Extreme 3D pro, tried using the profile someone put up here but that was way above my head at this stage of the game. What am I doing wrong, am I missing some switch or something?

Worth it! This game is really enjoyable, the more time I spend on it the more I learn, which makes me realize how much more I have to learn. Awesome simulation.

Well, I do the training missions, then look at some training videos, and then grab the related mission and just horse around, gotta have some fun! I do wish there was an easier way to start at any airport you choose. Made myself a quick mission with Batumi as my start point, great little area to just fly around plus it has the ILS to practice on, great for touch and go's.

and then more. So I have been monkeying around with this for about a few weeks now and I gotta say. What an awesome product! Still not gotten through all the training videos and I know there is an incredible learning curve ahead, but slowly little things are coming together and those do add up. Almost got the gun figured out, just a bit more work to do. AA, learned a little about that, then did the training mission and learned that I knew a little less than I thought. AGM, still working on it, got a kill but that is one slick system and it does deserve the attention because, face it, we all want to reach out and touch someone....:smilewink: Going to keep plugging away because I still haven't done the bombs, or guided bombs, or rockets and maybe I should learn how to eject.....:book:

Scanned clean.... using AVAST, but has anyone else run this? Is Modman still the tool for adding mods to this sim, or are people using something else?

Thanks for the help, but I cannot download the file, MS smart screen says there are issues with this file, such as malware. If this is incorrect would someone kindly advise as I would like the file, thank you.

Thanks!

I tried but Microsoft says the file is unsafe...

Actually the TA-152 did well in low altitude dog fights also. Found some notes on the web, and I do recall a US fighter pilot, who flew P-51's, remarking how well it handled. But a D-9 will be nice.

Most likely did, but I read that whenever a TA-152 flew cover for ME-262's landing, no ME-262 got shot down.

So, will this mod work with A-10C? If I were to try it where would I put it. And I have another question, I have read that there is some sort of mod management program but I cannot find it, is it on a special page? Thanks,

The FW is on my to be purchased list, though I would rather have a TA-152, something that actually can stand against a P-51, the Dora could, but the TA-152 was better. Comparing flight simulations, only if they are flight sims.

Well, I am new here and never played Il2, but I did try ROF for a while, and put a fair bit of money into it. Stuck around because people on the forum kept saying there would be changes to the flight model, which I expected and hoped for as there were some glaring inconsistencies. Now I have been around flight simulations for a fair while, but I could not understand why aircraft in world war one were so hard to recover from a spin, in fact from what I saw in ROF, I was amazed the planes were allowed to fly, especially the Camel. Imagine my shock when one day Jason Williams admits the ROF team knew of the flight model errors, but as they are focusing on their new product, they would not make any corrections. Well that great Flight Simulation became a dud in my eyes. Now I do agree ROF is nice, but it is not that great a flight sim, take an SE5 for a spin, it really does not behave like a plane should, there are simple basic principles of flight that just seem, missing. Which to me detracts from a flight simulation. In the first hour of A-10 I was doing touch and goes, not well, but good enough to know I understood the plane, because those basic principles of flight are modeled here. The other bad thing about ROF is the total control of the forum exercised by Mr. Jason Williams, if you do not toe his line he deletes your posts or locks threads and if you say anything bad about ROF, that is a personal attack. Having had that experience with ROF, I will probably not touch BoS with a ten foot pole.

Okay so this has been, and is a good, discussion. I also am learning how to use this game, and this is from the first SP mission US company advance on Kisolov(?). My first go was a disaster but I had barely managed to figure out how to drive anything or get the proper aiming reticle up. Next mission I did better, and was able to task the A-10's to take out most of the front line tanks, but got spanked by the tanks on my far right on the hill and AA played roughly with my A10's. Lesson learned. So, in the third attempt I tasked the arty to take out the AA as soon as I ranged it. Then I tasked the A-10's to take out the Mi-24's and then sweep in and grind up the front row of tanks. But they still leave about three of them and the ones on the Hill plus the command group just below the hill. A group of about six T80's. I could drive the M1's along the hill to my right, using it to shield me from the T-80's on the Hill, but the first M1 that shows himself, with me in it, can only take out three of the remaining tanks. The A-10's do a great job of clearing the tanks on the right of the bridge (my right, enemy left) but do leave about two behind, one close to the bridge and the other with the BTR. That is where I stopped as the T-80's missiles just owned my M1, I got three of them (the ones on the left of the bridge) but the ones on the right have a good LOS and to advance on them I expose myself to the fire from the hill. Arty is fairly good, though it lacks smoke, but if I target a tank with the Lazar range finder and keep the dispersement within 10 metres, the arty will take out one of their tanks, just takes a bit. I do find the AI is a bit weak, as I can drive by the T80's in the HMMV and raise royal havoc in their rear (ie. spank the AA, command, arty and support vehicles) with the T-80's just watching. But drive a M1 up and they go ape.....

I found this looking for information and was wondering if this existed for the A-10C? http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=942149&postcount=43

Hello, So doing the Navigation training and he asks me to SPI a spot infront of the aircraft. I slew the marker to the point and hit Left Ctrl Up arrow but nothing happens. No matter what I try. Is this a known bug?

Great Sim, thank you. One issue I am having is following through the training missions, the instructor tells you to push a button on the dash, it is highlighted, but what key or keys are assigned to that function. Could you allow us the option to have the keystroke, for those of us still using a keyboard, to be also displayed? I am trying to do the ILS training and once he stops talking, I get lost. Also would it be possible to have his text replayed or is there a way to print it off? Thank you,

Thank you, big help.

I can maneuver, but I got no smoke.....:(

Thank you.
