Besides, you'll rarely ever fly hard in the vertical in the A-10C during normal AG employement.

I think I read somewhere that for displays the A-10 gets their wing pylons removed.

Yep. Change your DB source to something else rather than FLT PLAN and all the rocker switches and the HOTAS command will cycle between waypoints or markpoints. Incidentally, you cannot technically cycle through steerpoints, since only one (or zero in fringe cases) steerpoint exists at any single time.

I'm going to get roasted for this. Since the possibilities of ever seeing GCI in DCS are pretty slim (at least in the short term), would you be open to considering enabling the TEL mode under guidance of your own RADAR?

What's the difference between the two downloads?

Options > Controls > M-2000C > Axis Commands > TDC Slew Horizontal and TDC Slew Vertical.

Yep. Things are so strict about the matter that pilot doing AMAs actually have a predefined response to answers regarding defenses, even if it's only about manuevering or general tactics. I can't be sure obviously, but I believe they're forced to copy paste the given answer and can't even give their own rendition of the refusal.

Yeah I think that's the main point of contention. Closely following the IP's instructions gets you dangerously close to the MOA borders, whilst simply not turning to 040 or climbing to 15000 feet before instructed give you enough leeway to stay within it.

Yeah though about that, but I'd rather have the AP disconnect on the trigger.

Yes but it's not up to date with the latest changes to the module. You may notice the jammer engage/disengage button is missing entirely. Here's mine, I went for the best 1:1 with the real HOTAS, rather than ease of use:

I'll post mine tomorrow, altough it's still in the works due to the lack of an updated reference for the real HOTAS.

Commas are needed, they separate the objects. Besides, if the .lua is malformed DCS won't see it entirely.

Following the required speeds and flightpaths, it's basically certain you will end up straying from the MOA and failing the mission just before or during the spiral dive. Interestingly enough, the better the flying preceding the spiral dive the more probable you are to exit the MOA. Watching Recon Sterwart's video, he also comes dangerously close to the river (20:48, TAD), and doesn't fail only because previously during the spin-stall he deviates quite a bit (17:25, pointing 320), and then turns towards the WP rather than the briefed heading (17:55, pointing 065). He also starts climbing way before the instructor's VO (18:35, at 12700 feet already) and at a too high angle than what is published as correct procedure (>160 knots, should be around 180 knots at that altitude). The underlying problem I think with this mission has always been the fact that one has to repeat it multiple times not for the difficulty of the manuevers involved, but rather to learn all the triggers and anticipate them. I went in after one year of having originally passed it, and although I flew it perfectly (and because of it) I failed it due to me not remembering the MOA limits (the briefing may be lacking a map), and that I shouldn't listen to the IP under certain circumstances. Simple fix: remove the MOA limits. It makes no sense for those to be there in this mission, since the pilot is supposed to be following the IP's instructions regarding navigation. If I follow them and I end up exiting the area, it shouldn't be my fault shouldn't it? Not in a setting where I can't provide direct feedback on the situation at least. :D

Try my file. default.lua

That's the correct file. Make sure you aren't missing the commas at the end of the lines.

I don't think so, no. I recall seeing TGP footage about a year ago of A-10Cs attacking ISIS' logistic trucks, and it was b/w. Besides, I'm not at all sure, but b/w might make it easier for algorithms and humans alike to spot small objects. EDIT: Found it: Notice the sexy af SPI cakes visible in the TGP.

Yes, please give us a Tornado. Italy is so criminally lacking in DCS.

Shameless plug: https://gliptal.github.io/cartridger/

Thanks. Is there a newer reference for the HOTAS buttons and layout?

Wher's the HOTAS switch located?

So the only purpose of the A position for the DRM switch is to disable the PANIC throttle button? Also, is it correct that the V light for the jammer i ON when the jammer is in standby, but OFF when it's active or switched off entirely? Wouldn't the opposite make more sense?

This is an important point.
