The Enemy Within is for 1.5

You cannot install first A-10C and then DCS World. Actually every aircraft (incuding the Warthog) is treated as a DCS World module: you have to install first DCS 1.5.3 and then download the up-to-date modules (Run DCS world -> Log-in with username and password you use on ED site and here -> go in the module manager section and download your modules)

Confirmed: me too!

Sure, but I don't think it's possible to assign two different commands to chaffs and flares. He should always change program between chaffs and flares first, and then push the release button. (but this is also the good part of a study sim and not a semi-arcade one!)

Could be SweetFx, if you use it: Payware Campaings don't like it (not supported). The same thing happened to me for "The enemy within" campaign. EDIT: Sorry, I've read only now the other thread.... Have you completely removed all the following files? SweetFX folder dxgi.dll ReShade.fx Sweet.fx

Page 407 of the manual: You need to edit the programs as described: Otherwise you can use program H for Chaff (1 chaf/1 sec, 1 cicle) or J for Flares (same as chaff).

I think so: in the same post Kuki says he has also modified Fire visibility. From the same author there is also a nice mod for vehicle dust: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=158404

Great news!! :) Thanks a lot

+1 :thumbup: And maybe a little tweak on the areas of effect: actually they seem very small

Thanks a lot! Will try ASAP :pilotfly: BTW: it seems that "the enemy within campaign" is not compatible with sweetFx. With SFX enabled I cannot open it because it doesn't recognise the activation code. Any suggestion (apart playing it without SFx ...eheh!)?

Hi everyone. I've just tried a copule of times mission 8 (the one where you have to kill the stolen armors), and I encountered some problems: except for Mavs, the other weapons seems useles. GBU-12 and guns always miss (and no: laser code , lasing time... everything was correct). I think that maybe is caused by the wind. However I missed with GBUs both moving targets and stationary one (the one given with bullseye distance). Same for the wingman. Also the GAU seems laterally deviated from the HUD pointer. Has anyone encountered the same difficulties? Is it worth trying to enter the wind data in the laste? Thanks in advance. PS: So far it's a wonderful campaing. Well done, Baltic Dragon!!!:thumbup:

Thanks a lot! Really interesting.

I'm using the X-55 and owned the X-52 (before my wife "accidentally" broke it). I'm satisfied with the X-55 and it's surely a good improvement from the X-52. The Throttle is absolutely superior, both in number of switches and precision. The stick is good and much more precise than its counterpart. I only miss so much the 2 stage trigger and really don't understand why Saitek removed such a feature from the X-52 to the X-55. You only need to get used to the stick size: it's quite big and in the beginning it's not so easy to reach the release weapon button. As an overall opinion, I recommend the upgrade, if you can't afford a T Warthog.

Same to me from Nellis AFB: when you hold position before the runway and ask for clearance, you never get it. If you enter the runway without permission you get the usual "you are not cleared for T/O" and after some time you get the clearance. But in many threads on this forum it's said that the ATC is undergoing a complete overhaul.

Wow... it would be the coolest Christmas present of the last few years!! (especially the Warthog).:joystick: Thanks to the Virtual Thunderbirds and to Thrustmaster!!

It would be cool to play CA with A-10C! Thanks for your kind prensent!

It is for sure a nice Christmas present! Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

I use the X-55 since a year, more or less.... I think it's a good improvement from the X-52: lots of buttons, good throttle,... I agree that the stick is poorly designed (too big and the top hats and weapon release are difficult to reach). Also I miss the 2 stage trigger for the GAU that was present in the x-52. The slew (according to the Shein profile) isn't the best, but usable. I couldn't afford the Warthog, so, for now , I'm happy this way :)

Last time I flew the A10-C missions "river raider" and "into the weeds", I noticed a weird behaviour of my wingman: as soon as he had to start evade maneuvres, he jettisoned all his payload and was therefore unable to further engage any units. Has anyone noticed this behaviour too? Is it a bug of the open beta or is it normal? (never noticed this before....)

Strange: I have also Kaspersky Internet Security installed, but had no problem at all during any DSC1.5 open beta installation, update or modules.

The same problem happened to me a couple of days ago: with TGP as SOI I pressed TMS fwd long, then pressed China Hat fwd long and the TGP jumped to the steerpoint. It didn't happen with Maveric as SOI. Hope this helps

Can't believe it! Thanks a lot ED! :clap_2::clap_2:

Great idea! Thanks a lot and good luck to everyone :thumbup:

From Wikipedia: Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night, or LANTIRN, is a combined navigation and targeting pod system for use on the USAF's premier fighter aircraft — the F-15E Strike Eagle and F-16 Fighting Falcon (Block 40/42 C & D models). LANTIRN significantly increases the combat effectiveness of these aircraft, allowing them to fly at low altitudes, at night and under-the-weather to attack ground targets with a variety of precision-guided weapons. LANTIRN consists of a navigation pod and a targeting pod mounted externally beneath the aircraft: The AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod provides high-speed penetration and precision attack on tactical targets at night and in adverse weather. The navigation pod also contains a terrain-following radar and a fixed thermographic camera, which provides a visual cue and input to the aircraft's flight control system, enabling it to maintain a pre-selected altitude above the terrain and avoid obstacles. This sensor displays an infrared image of the terrain in front of the aircraft, to the pilot, on a Head-up display. The navigation pod enables the pilot to fly along the general contour of the terrain at high speed, using mountains, valleys and the cover of darkness to avoid detection. The AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod contains a high-resolution, forward looking infrared sensor (which displays an infrared image of the target to the pilot), a laser designator/rangefinder for precise delivery of laser-guided munitions, a missile boresight correlator for automatic lock-on of the AGM-65 Maverick imaging infrared missiles, and software for automatic target tracking. LANTIRN with the F-14 Tomcat Until the early 1990s, the F-14 Tomcat didn't have clearance to drop bombs even though all Tomcats were built with a Stores Management System (SMS) that included air-to-ground options as well as rudimentary software in the AWG-9... ... In late 1994, an unsolicited proposal from Martin Marietta was initiated to demonstrate how a USAF LANTIRN targeting pod could be rapidly integrated onto the Tomcat. This effort was done under the auspices of COMNAVAIRLANT using a fleet aircraft to integrate the digital 1553-based pod on an analog F-14B. In March 1995 a VF-103 fleet aircraft successfully dropped the first laser-guided training rounds (LGTR) and quickly laser-guided bombs (LGB). Due to the early success and interest from Fleet Commanders, NAVAIR began to procure pods and control units for deployment, resulting in VF-103 receiving the first LANTIRN pod June 14, 1996 in time for its upcoming deployment.The basic LANTIRN was modified into LANTIRN Targeting System (LTS), the navigation pod was removed from the two-pod system and the targeting pod was improved for Tomcat use. The LTS featured a Global Positioning System and inertial measurement unit that provided the pod line-of-sight cueing and weapon release ballistics and eliminated the need for external cumbersome and time consuming boresight equipment. Unlike the early versions, the LTS performed all weapon release calculations and presented release cues that it had generated to the aircrew. The LTS also had a masking avoidance curve display (preventing firing the laser at the jet) and eventually a north orientation curve and 40,000 feet capable laser. The latter became very useful allowing F-14s to employ LGBs above potential threat systems and it came into its own in the higher terrain in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. The LTS could also generate coordinates for any target located on the FLIR, and a latter software modification, known as T3 (Tomcat Tactical Targeting) increased the accuracy of the coordinates produced by the LTS and allowed generated coordinates for GPS/INS guided weapons (JDAM, JSOW and WCMD). The first combat use of this was in OEF when an F-14 generated coordinates for a B-52 that dropped CBU-103 WCMD (Wind-Corrected Munitions Dispenser), which is basically an INS-guided cluster bomb from over 40,000 feet. These weapons scored hits on a vehicle convoy that had stopped after the first vehicle was destroyed by the Tomcat with LGBs. The pod also featured an internal computer with ballistics data for the various precision munitions carried by the F-14. Data is fed to the pod by the Tomcat’s AWG-9 (F-14A and F-14B) and AN/APG-71 (F-14D) radar, but the LTS in turn only sends video and guidance symbology to the crew's cockpit displays. All pod controls are in the RIO’s cockpit, but the bomb release button is situated with the pilot. The LTS had a price tag of around 3 million US Dollars each and due to these high costs, only 75 were bought for fleet use.
