It looks like I will be buying a Viper stick. I read that some users feel the Viper trigger is not as good as they Warthog trigger. While others say it is a minimal difference. From what I can tell, they are both two stage triggers. My TM Cougar has a two stage trigger and if the Viper is similar to it, I will be just fine. Viper's are $229.00 new and the Warthog sticks are $240-280, are out of stock, and hard to find. So it makes sense to me to spend less to get a brand new stick that has also not been on the market for ten years. I am not holding my breath, but maybe they improved some of the innards. Thank you all for the information. Take care!

Ability to drop JDAM's using LAT\LONG or MGRS
GreatWhiteHype replied to GreatWhiteHype's topic in DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer
Thank you all for the advice and pointers. I like the challenge of running the gauntlet to take on SAM's! I will give it a go! -
A lot of good information and discussion here! Based on the picture above I can see that Viper stick is angled forward. Is that because of the base? My question is, side by side are they the same stick or does the Viper come standard with a more pronounced angle that is enhanced by the base? Thank you in advance!

Thank you Scuba and Ziptie! I hope to get some standoff distance on SAM sites by trying these methods. The farther away I am from them the better! I was spoiled with HARM's and being able to launch JDAM's way out with the Hornet. -

Nice! I will give it a try. Thank you for the quick response! -
I am slowly getting up to speed on my Hog and its abilities. In Hornet at altitude, I can drop a JDAM from 15+ miles with great accuracy. In the Hog I can use the Tpod and mark points to get great accuracy, but at danger close range for some SAM's. I have read that JTAC missions use MGRS for CAS. Is it possible using the F10 map to find a SAM site, copy those coords down and load them into my JDAM? If so, how do I accomplish this? Is it the same procedure in Chuck's guides for JTAC and the CDC? I am hoping to have some standoff range in my Hog to address the SAM/AAA threats before I tank care (poor attempt at humor there) of the other helpless targets, LOL. Thank you all.

Chuck's Guides - DCS Tutorial Library
GreatWhiteHype replied to Charly_Owl's topic in General Tutorials
Thank you Chuck for updating the guide to include the A-10C II features, it is so valuable. I have a question for the group. When you look at pages (Adobe reader page numbers) 154-155, do they appear slightly blurry to you at all? When you compare them to pages 152-153, I can see a noticeable difference in the clarity. I saw this because when I magnify the zoom to 125%, the fonts gets worse on new pages 154-155 and not 152-153. I use a second monitor with Chuck's guide on the right and DCS straight ahead. I am not trying to be nit-picky. I print the controller pages to help me map my switches as I use a Virpil throttle. When the pages print, the clarity is just not there. I also want to point out that I do not have visual clarity of a 20yr old any more! Thanks again and good day to all of you. -
Thank you Buzz. I will get it moved over there!

Thank you for the help. I know what to tell others if they run into that issue from now on. Take care!

Thank you for the replies. Here is what I have as requested. The two files are located in my saved games folder on my C: drive.

Raygun software is being run from my desktop as an .exe file. ****ALERT**** DO NOT RUN THE RAYGUN.EXE from the desktop, it will not work! Found the problem!!! I now have Raygun as a shortcut! Thank you all kind sirs!
