found another bug: I. when switching between cannon and agm, the trimmers are changed, or something in the flight model. the aircraft pitches down heavily when switching to cannon. A. see screenshot A, that is a T-82 tank... could have fooled me... looks like a shrub... :) same for all other units. the buildings/roads are brighter than they are, and there is artifacting with 'flickers' of white showing up in cities. C. don't need a track: open autohotkey, input the line 'Send {cockpitview}{zoomnormal}{viewcenter}', replacing the labels with the buttons they're actually bound to, and watch everything go nuts :) D. see screenshot B. black bars/lines on the instrument panel. some elements also seem to be missing. E. i don't use ILS either, i just do the sideways approach and land with a resounding skidmark. but yea, ILS doesn't work. in fact i think more than ILS. some ATC controls don't quite functon as expected, and sometimes wingmen keep spamming 'RTB' non stop. F. see screenshot C. no, the same for F-15C cockpit. but it's obvious on F-15C as some items are clipped, those items are just not visible on A-10A so it appears normal but isn't until you move your head forward (really far). H. flight model still seem buggy/sluggish compared to lomac. did some more testing, and is somewhat ok, but just doesn't behave like i'd expect it to. takes forever to reach 300 knots at level flight, nevermind 385-400.

A. agm-65d targets don't seem to be illuminated at all. same color as the background, impossible to pick them out. might be the cause of no-lock-on issues, as they don't seem to lock either. in fact if white = hot, then the road is hotter than the vehicles. B. cbu/unguided bombs indicator is flawed/not functioning correctly. C. engines freak out. once my left engine was shot out, right was fine, restarted and my left engine spun up to max rpms even though it was dead before. also, pressing certain combinations of keys extremely quickly (ie: autohotkey) will bug the engines out, with their needles spinning 360 degrees every 0.01 seconds :\ use autohotkey to press: cockpit view, zoom normal, view center one after the other and watch the fireworks. not sure why view keys would affect the engines. also, the rearm window pops up... and some other crazy stuff. D. multiple visual glitches, black lines and bars on the instrument panel. E. ILS doesn't work. F. default cockpit view is too far back and HUD is clipped/appears too large. G. AGM/CBU TDC indicator does not center properly. it is drawn way above the center line of the hud, and must be slewed back down, taking approx 1 second. H. aircraft just seems horribly unstable in general. used to play lomac at a friend's and remember the handling characteristics being much better than this. could actually do a loop without first needing to slowly crawl up too 400 knots :\ :censored: basically, this thing is a flying gun, none of the other weapons seem to function correctly ;o
