Thanks Dangerman. Going to try figure that out.

Thanks again for all the helpful advice. Totally agree this method good for short legs only. Trying to nail even close to it is hard enough.

From time to time midway in flying, i would hear a hissing sound that last for a few seconds. Sounds like some compressed air being released. Anyone knows what that could be?

Thank you PiedDroit for your wonderful post. I know about Tacan Vor tracking. What i meant is how in real world a pilot could track through various waypoints that each is defined by a bearing and distance from some Vor or Tacan a distance away. One could dial in the correct Tacan and bearing course and head towards the waypoint, but crossing it at exactly the specified bearing and distance from that Tacan is really a hit or miss guess work, further complicated by wind and visibility. Give a simple example here - takeoff and fly heading 30 degree then turn to 350 then 280 then 210 degrees, with all waypoints defined from one single same Tacan. Can that be done precisely in planes with only one Tacan device?

Try lifting off only when speed near 200 knots. Seems to have less tire blow-out at higher speed lift-off (assuming proper trimming). Still, I feel there definitely is a bug somewhere given such fragile tires. If the real F5's wheels were to be that jelly, air forces the world over might have wasted off several jets by now.

Hope this is the right place to post this :- When navigating purely by TACAN tracking only, how does one keep to each precise track along a planned route? (with only one HSI and no other VOR/TACAN indicator). A good example is following a specific departure or arrival route, where there are a series of specific heading turns, with each segment crossing a certain TACAN bearing and DME distance. Gets extra challenging when done with cross-winds or in low visibility. On a separate but navigation related issue, after creating a mission with several checkpoints, is there a way to output print a table showing the various flight plan headings and distances of the created route? Like that in MSFS? Any advice much appreciated.

Any news yet regarding the deployment of GBU-12 in the F5? I'm referring to the delivery procedure. Is it possible to assign lasing without an online buddy helping to do that?

Been doing quite a fair bit of flying in the F5 in World 2,0 NTTR from various different bases. I can confirm that tire blow-outs seem quite random at times, where rotating at prescribed speeds or delaying to higher speed, though lifting at higher speed seems best option. All settings accordingly done. Sometimes even while just rolling straight down runway and waiting for rotation, the tires could just pop. Never encountered this in other DCS add-ons. Surely the real F5's tires can't be that fragile, right? Could the developer look into "strengthening" the tire value? It can be rather frustrating to have a popped tire after having set up everything and about ready to rock in a mission. Please look into fixing this. Thanks.

Any fix yet for this issue so far? The landing light just would not light up when the plane's wheels are on the ground. The only light up when wheels leave the ground, as shown up during replay. Also, any fix for the gear emergency release issue?

Have experienced this for several years now, across different PCs and systems and patches. Only in the A10C, not in other add-ons. Pretty sure there's a bug somewhere. Rather frustrating as landing is always a nice moment to savour. Will the developer help look into fixing this soon?

Okay will look into that, thanks.

Just bought this couple of days ago. Due to time constraint, I would like to jump to specific missions instead of starting in sequence from first mission onwards, is this possible?

When cruising at constant altitude, it seems the F5 needs almost non-stop trimming to stay level at fix altitude. Is it supposed to be like this in the real bird?

I did mention in my original post that Nav position lights had been switched on. NTTR map. Had not installed into World 1.5 yet.

Hope this is the right place to post this :- When I load myself up as F5E to face off a AI opponent (F5, F15, 16, 18, Mig, etc. each under Excellent Skill setting), often times after a few turning fights these fighters would turn tail and run off, with me chasing. Is there any way to make them put up a more courageous turning fight with me, instead of running off?

I too had been experiencing main tire bursting on takeoff if I attempt to lift off at 160 kt or so (near full load). Trim at about 8. Then I tried delaying lift-off to 200 kt and most times it seems to avoid tire bursting. Is the above correct? Could the main tire bursts when lifting nose up at 160 causes too much weight to be transferred to the mains, and coupled with all those slight bouncing on the ground, resulted in burst tire?

To The Developer :- May we know would these bugs be scheduled for fixing soon? Hope to see them resolved. Thanks.

Been flying n loving the F5. But I noticed landing light seems not to be working despite turning on the Nav lights. On one occasion I ran out of fuel n tried using Alternate Gear Release (pulled n hold), but only the gear doors open, not the gears, which remained up. It was supposed to be released via gravity?

When it comes to making a SPI, is it better to always lase the target first? Lasing seems not possible when flying 90 degree offset to target. What is the max slant range that the laser is still good to use?

Thanks for all the helpful guides. Say if going against a really long range SAM, how is that done in real world? Edit : Just watched that video. Awesome.

Thanks mate. Will check that out.

During startup, was trying to input VHF 1 (AM) frequency but view was blocked by throttles. Tried various key commands to try and adjust view backward to look at the digits but none seem to move view point the way desired. Any advice much appreciated.

What's your preferred way of taking out SAM? Besides obvious choice like JDAM, using LGB in CCRP seems to need getting very close to SAM, which isn't a wise choice. Any better method? Also, while hunting with TGP, how high and at what bank angle do you circle? Tried it at 20,000 ft and banking about 30 degrees, but non-masking duration only a small fraction of time. What setup is best for long distance scope hunting?

I meant the latest driver update.

My specs - i7 6770 3.5 Ghz, Gtx1080, 32 Gb RAM. Res 1980x1080. Maxed out most settings except no lens flare, dirt. Flat shadow. Also just patched with latest Nvidia driver. Your res is higher. Maybe that could be eating up the fps.
