I doubt that I'm supposed to do that, otherwise I think I would have been told to do so.

I just tried that and it seemed that this emergency break had no effect at all.

The aircraft of course is A10-C since that is the plane used in this DLC

I have reached the advanced maneuvers where I'm at the end must perform a forced landing. And at that point I always fail for the reason that I can't stop the plane so it goes of the runway and get damaged or completely demolished with a death in campaign scored . Some thoughts here. Since I shot down both engines it makes sense to me that I can't lower the flaps or engage the air brake since I have no hydraulics. But is it realistic that I can lower the landing gears and engage the brakes without engine supplied hydraulics ? What is the best way to do this landing and then stop the plane on the runway?

And what is the tanker ? A plane a vehicle ? And where is it ?

I have been able to reach the point where I have landed and taxi off the runway and shut down the plane. I didn't score a finished mission. Exactly where should I park the plane and shutdown ?

When I tried again last time I got confused. Before this mission started in the air but now it instead started on the ground with cold and dark plane.

Do I have to land also ? I got the impression that this time I should only be flying the pattern and landing would be in the next mission.

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do to finish and pass the traffic pattern mission. I follow the voiced instructions and come to a point where I'm told to contact ATC and leave the pattern. I do so and then I'm instructed to rejoin the pattern. When I did so I was told to continue the pattern then nothing more happened. No new instructions and no confirmation that I have passed this task.

So if you switch from your plane to ground units will that not let your plane without control ? How can this work for practical purposes ?

This does not work for me. In order to make the Maverick lock I must slew the Maverick to the target. I can slew the TGP to a target and lock on target. But that does not lock the Maverick. And slewing the TGP does not make the Maverick seeker slew with it. I just tried this and found out this.

According to what I have learned I do this when using Mavericks. Designate a SPI at or close to the targets. Slave all sensors to SPI. So far no problem the MFCD shows the target area and tracks it. But when I use the slew knob the view moves around also with the movement of the plane making it very difficult to lock on a target. What is the best way to overcome this problem ?

In both default missions and user campaign operation save red badger I find that the menu item for wingman (and flight) is printed in black. I suspect this means I can't communicate with them. I can issue orders to be called out but don't get any confirmation back (unlike in instant action). I don't see why ? Do I need to use another frequency ? If so which ? I don't find any info about this in the briefing or knee board.

No I'm fully aware that I must hold the button

Yes I think it read ALN UNS and remember that CDU INS never finished aligning. Could it be that I must wait for alignment to finish before I select NAV on the CDU ?

I know that I was at 20000 ft at waypoint 1 (which I'm supposed to be from what I have understood) after that it could have changed somewhat don't know how much.

A couple of times when doing the operation save badger campaign I have encountered that pressing the weapon release button does not release my GBU 38 bombs. I have checked that GBU 38 is selected and have set the SAM site as SPI. The range bar starts counting down between max and min cues but pressing weapon release does not do anything. What could be wrong in such a case ?

After doing this I think the position is correct. Still after selecting the new waypoint and slaving sensors to SPI (China hat forward long) I couldn't see any SAM in the TGP

What do you mean by full alignment ? What does 3.9.0.8 refer to ?

I have done all these things

In a user campaign Operation Save Badger I'm supposed to enter coordinates for a SAM site in UTM format. So I follow instructions on page 460 in the manual. First I'm supposed to start a turn and engage the autopilot on ALT. Here I encounter the first problem. The autopilot doesn't engage even if I press the AP engage button (on TM Hotas Warthog). And when I follow the instructions and enter the coordinates given think it is LP08456450 and the set it as waypoint it's so far always situated a long away from the ordinary waypoints. If I try also to include 38T in the given coordinates I get a CDU error message.

I'm somewhat confused over the AA training. First I'm supposed to set AA mode in the MCD no problem. Then I'm told to slew the seeker to the left plane. More difficult since I don't know where the view is pointing. Sometimes I find the plane but many times it's difficult since I don't know where I'm looking (compared the HUD view). And also what is the point in doing it ? I had no problem shooting down both planes by simply point the my planes to the targets and when hearing the audible signal fire the sidewinder

I get the impression that it is some kind of alternative to the training tutorials apart from combat not being covered. I have done the training tutorials many times. Does this new campaign offers something I don't already got. One specific thing to ask about. In the description it's said that 'you will fly 12 performance check rides to execute against pre-defined performance objectives. If successful, you will earn a “Qualified” rating and proceed to the next performance objective.' What does 'proceed to next performance objective mean' ? Anyone have tried this out yet ?

I'm trying to use this profiles with F86F Sabre and the throttle does not work. The only thing I can do that is to move it from idle to cutoff then I see that happen in the cockpit. But not from cutoff to idle and the throttle does not move in plane when advancing the TM throttle. I have checked in controls and confirmed that the TM throttle is indeed correctly assigned to the throttle in the plane. EDIT I figured out why. There are two detents off on idle. But it seem that the TM detentes can't be used except from completely turning off the throttle

The advice to fly high at the bridge did work. But using a bomb on the patrol was very ineffective took out one vehicle and nothing more. Also after taking out the bridge from above 10000 ft I then had problems finding the tanks after that. Is not the targets visible with red labels unless you stay below a certain altitude ?
