that A10A is an FC3 model. Like you've heard before here, that means the flight model is still good but the avionics are extremely simplified. the buttons in the cockpit can't even be clicked. If you're interested in hearing my tips, there's maybe 2 things you could do. - You can keep playing that A10C. And accept to learn it slowly. Start with the ghetto, low technology weapons first. Learn to kill things with the gun, and then learn how to kill things with unguided rockets. when you got that under control, you can try to load up some slick unguided bombs. put the mastermode to CCIP ( calculated impact point ) and then perform a diving attack, CCIP bombing is just a matter of putting "the thing on the thing", a thing said around here meaning just putting the crosshairs on the target. You shouldn't need to know much of the systems to perform these attacks. from there on you can slowly move on to learn things like SOI,SPI,the DSMS and it's indepth pages, and the TGP. With those things under control you could drop your first guided weapons and perform CCRP ( calculated release point ) attacks. While you're learning you can occasionally revert back to the easier weapons and have a bit of fun. it's a hobby after all. It may take long but in the long run you'll get the most out of the game for money you've already spent. Another thing is maybe grab one of the trainers, like the Hawk or L39. I own the Hawk but the L39 is being made inhouse by the primary dev so I can guarantee it's good. You'll learn the hawk in about one afternoon. there's not much complicated stuff to it. For your prefered playstyle of ground attack it can perform gun runs, unguided rocket attacks, bombing runs and clusterbomb runs. Nothing the A10 can't do but packaged much more simply. People around here say that the Hawk is not finished and they're right. It currently has a placeholder flight model. That doesn't mean it's not fun to fly though.

the MiG15 and F86 are closely matched. They where so in real life. Only the better pilot is mostly likely to win in a duel of MiG15 vs sabre.

I can only find russian rules and obligations, the one below english info gives me a link written in cyrillic

A Q&A, great! I hope nobody minds I have a few things on my mind. Q1: While the player is in the commander seat and the helicopter is controlled by the other pilot/autopilot/SAS, is it possible to control the viviane sight with the joystick? Or will we have to use slew controls like ,./; ? Q2: is the AM radio capable of contacting an AWACS for info about airborne threats? Q3: Is the countermeasures dispenser only capable of dropping flares, or also radar countermeasures? Q4: Is the viviane sight capable of any smart functions? like terrain following or automatic target tracking. Q5: Are there any units that are capable of jamming the HOT missile in this sim? bonus question: without locking yourself to some deadline, is there anything you're willing to let slip about the time of release? are we looking at weeks, months or years? :) thanks for your time! and very good work so far

1 The game makes up its own campaign 2 if you kill a bad guy, he's dead during the next mission. If you let him live, he will still fight during the next mission.

I wonder what you'll hope it'll do the LITENING can't?

they're making an F/A18C. you're best off buying that 109k if you wanna play something on the short term. No release term has been given and a launch with the release at 2.0 seems extremely unlikely to me. 2.0 is aimed for the end of the year, but it will only be released when it's ready. have a nice day.

would help if you specified what planes you flew. On the MiG21 landing with brakes can quickly get suicidal, that delta just gotta fast. The A10 is a lot easier to land with brakes, you can keep it under control even when very slow. On something like the su25 it feels like it hardly even matters, it seems they are more intended as divebrakes when doing an attack and don't do much at landing speeds. If you do a proper approach and follow the glidescope you shouldn't really need the brakes on any plane.

I think they all shoot at the same time. It's just the tracers not being synced. Also, not every gun on the 51 has the same amount of ammo so it might be you ran out of ammo one some guns.

What weapons will be simulated? We have seen euromissile HOT but I wonder if M621/NC621 pod and the mistral have a chance? Since we have the viviane sight, I assume only the HOT? thanks :)

Hey guys, beautiful work on the gazelle :) I know the gazelle is equiped with a warning receiver, but I wonder what signals exactly it will be able to detect? Radar (RWR)? Missile approach warning (MAWS)? Laser detection? (I think) you can see the warning receiver display just to the right of the big display :)

I think the name comes from polygon, a chain of straight lines to form a closed circuit, like a triangle, rectangle or very abstract shapes. and then 'chop' them into small bits. chop may then also be a little bit of nameplay on chopper but polychop also stated they're interested in doing fixed wing.

if the cyrillic bothers you to much, you can mod them to get english text. par example: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=93618 you can mod 1.5 but it's not recomended, devs can't help you with any bugs you encounter.

Yes, the SD2. More famously under it's nickname "butterfly bomb". I'm not sure if 109 carried SD1 or SD4

Apache Air2air kill (test/training) with HUD symbols and TADS display recordings shown. WARNING: emotionally loaded content for Huey lovers :) ${1}

Dean, in 1,5 the module manager is on top of the screen, make sure to go there and make sure you are logged in. If you own FC3, it should work.

You should have used the sepatron I to simulate the take-off boosters.

The Typhoon that VEAO is doing is tranche 1 block 5 typhoon. So yeah not the latest like a tranche 2 block 20 or Tranche 3A. VEAO said they hoped to do A2G but didn't guarantee it. if they do it it will have a Litening III Laser Designator Pod ( so A10 pilots gonna feel right at home ) 1000lbs freefall and enhanced paveway II ( can be both laser guided or GPS guided ).

can we also get some WW2 train action?

yes I put that link in my post as well :) might be slightly confusing just above the image. In the roadmap you maintain you stated F16C as a module for year 201?. I wonder where you got the info from that it's a C model and not any of the others? although most of us are probably longing for the F16C block 50/52 :) I really hope its 50/52 so it can carry AGM-88 for SEAD, JSOW AGM 154 glidebomb with 130km range and JDAM bombs amongs other weapons an F16 can carry

nothing "hard" but we have some clues. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1996107&postcount=52 apperently that cockpit was on the russian forums. it apperently even predates the A10C cockpit, why it was cancelled or put on hold is unknown

that one real 4th gen multirole that's missing in DCS is the F-16.
