Nice work, thanks!!

I've been trying to map my X52 Pro Axis using the in-game options and I'm trying to figure out which is the View Zoom entry so I can set it to Slider 1, but so far I've not managed to figure out which one it is, can anyone translate the Axis Options screen? There are a few downloads of all the key assignments, but they don't include the Axis. Thanks in advance!!

Try this excellent tutorial http://flankertraining.com/ironhand/Video/A-10_RWR-Ironhand.zip it will teach you a lot about how to use it.

It is on Saturday evenings at 20:00, although I've just checked this Saturday and it is Worlds Deadliest Aircraft (A10), but the Saturday after is Dogfights - Desert Aces, and the week after that is Dogfights - Gunkills of Vietnam. They repeat at midnight.

I particularly liked the dogfight where he kept using the barrel role to manoeuvre into his perfect firing positions. Looking forward to see what they have on the A10 next week.

For those interested, a new series of Dogfights starts on History channel tonight (UK Sky), first off is Jet vs Jet. Next week is all about the A10.

It does handle like a brick when heavily loaded, so I take out the Air Defence Systems first; if I have the "Heavy" weapons like the Kh-25ML or Kh-29T (which is also fire and forget, so you can concentrate on your next target after you fire it without having to stay lased on a current target) I try to use them first (unless you need them for a bridge or building). Once they've left the rails, try to use up your bombs and then you're left with just the Vikhr (for example), and you are a lot more manouverable (keep an eye on your angle of attack indicator, if you go over the limit around 20-25 degrees you start to stall/depart flight envelope, so ease off on your joystick back-pressure. You can also use rudder to keep the ball in the centre so you aren't slipping so much - more efficient use of your control surfaces). This also improves your fuel consumption so you have more loiter time and can make more passes. If you use all your Vikhr's, eject the empty magazine and use guns. When using the Laser, as soon as your target/targets is/are destroyed, switch the Laser off straight away - the less time it is on, the quicker it cools and allows you to start your next attack run sooner. That said, extending away from the target zone whilst the Laser cools for longer time periods also gives you more time to sort out your attack run and allows you to take out more than one target. (Patience is a virtue, I found after flying the A10, I need more time to sort my s**t out when lining up and designating targets in the Su25T). The last tip I can give is if you are firing the "heavy" weapons, engage the Auto pilot for a short while before firing, this then sorts out the trim for you in a couple of seconds and you can then disengage the Auto pilot and carry on flying with relative ease.

How do you run as the Administrator? My brother is having problems, he has Vista (I haven't upgraded yet) and he keeps getting some error message up saying he needs Administrator Rights. He can't get the game to run at all and is getting frustrated, I don't know that much about Aministrator Rights or Vista so can't really help him, but he is desparate to play this game as he as just got an X52 Pro, and I gave him my old Track IR2.

Masterkey66, did you get my profile? I sent it a couple of days ago and wondered how you were getting on with it.

give me your email on a PM and I'll send you my profile, it's a work in progress and I use it with TIR4, it works good for me, but everyone has their own taste so you'll probably want to change some of the programming.

Cheers golfsierra2, I've been looking for the download version of Robert Shaw's "The Art of Air-to-Air Combat" for quite some time. This is a truly great find and anyone else here should pay a visit, it's like the holy bible of Fighter Tactics for those who've never heard of it before. Merry Christmas Regards Andy Foot

Just downloaded and ran the new patch (think it came out today), tried to run it to have two versions of FC (1.1 & 1.12) and it wouldn't complete, so ran it to just upgrade to 1.12 and it worked a treat. Did a quick play on the A10, the buggers shoot back now :^)

Andy Foot I have the same problem, a UK version. have emailed ED and am waiting for the reply.
