Has anyone made a X52 pro profile yet? I've tried setting some stuff up, but I'm not very good at it. Any help would be appreciated.

That first part sounds like a better idea, which is what I've been doing for the most part. That second half sounds like wizardry to me :huh: I just bought Blackshark, any x52pro profiles that you would recommend? Thanks for the help!

I've always downloaded others profiles for games, so I don't know how to import actions (say landing gear, flaps, lights...whatever) into the SST software to assign them to a button. Can anyone help me out?:helpsmilie:

Thanks for the tips and info. :thumbup:

Yup, found this out the hard way:doh: So there is no way to counteract this other than lateral movement?

I can go in circles and then bring it to an upright hover when I'm a few feet off the ground, but I was trying to come straight in and bring it to a hover about 30-40 ft, and set it straight down (for say, setting it down in a tree clearing or something). I can get it to the hover position, and I'll start SLOWLY lowering the collective. But at somewhere around 20-30 ft (just high enough to explode on impact!) it loses lift completely and I smash into the ground. What am I doing wrong?

When I try to join a multiplayer server, it loads like normal, then goes to bring up the briefing map, but it only partially shows up, then goes back to the loading bar screen which says please wait, the bar is at 100%, but it never loads to go to the game.

I have been playing with the A-10C now for a few months. I am to the point where I can fly the majority of the single player missions from cold start to finish with tags off. Anyone looking for members? I'm not looking for anything too serious, just to fly and have fun. Anyone wanna ...take me under their wing? :megalol:

Thanks! How do you input the laser code? The CDU?

Acquiring laser I don't mean to hijack this thread, but you guys seem to know somewhat how to do what I'm trying to do. How do you acquire the signal of the JTAC to train your bombs on his designation?

I see, thanks for the info! What would I do without you guys. Thanks Sarge55 for the reference.:thumbup:

I am having trouble inputting JTAC coordinates into the CDU correctly. I turn the dial to mission, input the XX000000 coordinates making sure it is NOT on L/L, it is on the other one, then name it, it pops up in my HUD, then I cycle to it. But for some reason it is hundreds of NM away up in the mountains somewhere. Sometimes it works like a charm, sometimes it does what I described above. Has anyone else had this problem or know what I am doing wrong? :helpsmilie: Thanks.

Just wondering what CAP stands for when calling for support in the A-10C missions. I know SEAD is Suppression of Enemy Air Defences, CAS is Close Air Support, but what is CAP? I assume it has something to do with A2A support. Thanks for the info!:joystick:

Yea sad stuff. I loved the A-10s. I watched their FINI flight last week, and was on the ramp to watch them Taxi out one last time today. I know our USAFE commander was an A-10 guy and fought tooth and nail to get them to stay, but not even the influence of a general could convince them otherwise.

Today was the final flight for the 81st FS at Spangdahlem AB, Germany, before offically deactivating in June. Been a pleasure to work with the A-10s.:thumbup: The aircraft will have a new home at Moody AFB, Georgia. FEAR THE HOG! Full story http://www.spangdahlem.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123348372

So I was all finished up with my mission, I RTB, Taxi back to my spot, and then I hear a large explosion! I look over to see this :doh: I was just wondering how often the AI crashes with no input from the player. Looks like a AH-64 and an A-10 collided on the runway. The Pilot and WSO of the AH-64 are definately KIA. The Hog pilot performed a ground eject and landed safely ~50 ft from the aircraft.

Thanks but i tried this already. No luck. Everything is mapped correctly because it works on runway or in flight start just fine. I checked the mapping and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

For some reason I cannot get my engines to fire up. Even in the training mission, I follow everything he says. When it comes to the part that says "move the throttle forward to idle position, or use the R ctrl+home and Ralt +home keys', nothing works. I don't now if this has anything to do with it, but the throttle in game does not move according to my input on the x52pro throttle. The flight control stick moves, shouldn't the throttle? It works fine for runway and air starts. I am running DCS world 1.2.3, with saitek x52pro controls. I've already fixed the issues with sliders being off center so that isn't it. Anyone else run into this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :(
