I have had a ton of SAM practice with the A10C for years now, still love it, never gets boring, just things have the potential to happen much faster now :D Thanks again for all the info

Good info and tips thanks very much :)

Yes for sure, I will have to employ some of my A10 learnt techniques it seems :D Thx again :)

:pilotfly::smartass::D I was just messing around like you do, was surprised to see a takeoff and any kind of flight was possible with them folded tbh :D

Ok thanks, experimenting a little more with height and launch speed and having some success now, guess I just need to carry on experimenting to learn the envelope of the weapon, the encyclopedia is misleading tho ?? Says 120km iirc ??

Slightly OT but I took off with my wings folded and just about managed to fly around for a while, as long as I kept my airspeed above 200/250 was just about able to keep control, pushed my luck too far and crashed trying to land with folded wings tho lol........:pilotfly: Was also able to unfold the wings while flying ? Are these bugs or ?

F18 Just starting my voyage into RWR and Harm......working on the Harm at the moment, watched Waggs vid on Harm and TOO........followed his vid as closely as I can, setup a mission with an SA6 and SA15 as per his vid. I get the SA6 first up, and stay just outside the threat circle on my SA on the DDI.......handoff the target to the harm and all looks good.....magnum, and turn away from the threat circle before entering it. The 88 streaks towards the SA6 no issue.....missed.....so I watch the missile with F6 next time, missile fires its motor towards the SA6 shoots up to around 1500 knots, then after a short while motor turns off and it glides, speed starts to drop like a stone as you would expect, the missle makes a ground impact a mile or so before the target I would guess, having checked the range of the 88 on the encyclopedia I should have plenty of range, launching from angels 15 and around 20 miles out I would guess, on the edge of the SA6 threat circle ? Any ideas what I am doing wrong here ? Update: Ran the same mission but increased my speed and altitude, now Angels 30 and around 450 knots, the first missile was shot in SPM mode and launched around 25 miles and fell short again......second launched in SPM as well, this missile I took into the edge of threat circle and around 20 miles and got a hit on the SR of the SA6, damaged it but never killed it ?

Still haven't got my Rift S setup perfect, but initial thoughts......wow I had the DK2, ran it a week and sold it.......bought the CV1, ran it a day, sold it.....was nice to touch and feel the tech, but it wasn't ready for DCS at that point IMHO, let alone racing titles. Tried my Rift S.....very impressed, surely it isn't a massive leap, but IMHO an important leap, it basically made the Rift worth using, so everything better than this in the future is worth actually looking at, and also the Rift S worth actually using now. Happy, not for sale, not until a proper new "gen" VR system comes along anyway.....

Awesome work thanks :)

I will try your mission thank, my skill level is in constant need of improvement :D Thanks :)

I think you are missing the point with the greatest of respect. Something IMHO was previously wrong when I made this post at least. I have been flying the A10C since beta and not had an issue before, then suddenly had an issue, and then just as suddenly no longer have an issue, it was the issue I was reporting more than how good or bad my aim is :music_whistling: :thumbup: :joystick: :pilotfly: Main thing here for me is that things have returned to normal it seems :) That's a nice shiny round btw :P

Well something changed for the better recently. (re: V 1.5.3.50487) I just took a flight out in a test mission I created, basically with each type of Russian tank there is stationed out there. Took out two of each kind out with no bother and with 300 rounds left to spare. All shots taken at less than 0.7km in short bursts, and behaved as expected. Not had a chance to read the patch notes recently, but felt much more like it used to feel before I made this original post. Really enjoying the new (to me at least) delayed concussion blast sound effect as well.

Thanks :thumbup:

I have had a quick go a couple of times, bloody hell it really isn't easy !! I have always been quite ok with the basket refuelling systems, this seems like 100000x harder tho :D :joystick:

Very cool to see these come along, used to work on the Gazelle and the Lynx during my time in the forces, we always joked how the Gazelle sounded like a bucket of loose bolts as it flew overhead :D :pilotfly:

no worries, look forward to that then ;)

How active is active mate ? I didn't hear anything back yet mate ? :music_whistling:

Cheers, who do I need to speak to for info ?

As above, looking to join a UK based , or European based group which speaks english. I used to fly regular with RAF 74 in IL2 some years back, be cool to get back into things with a European based squad now tho.

Thanks Hans :thumbup:

I noticed the function to "Maverick Adjust Left/Right/Up/Down" on the DMS in Maverick mode, I cannot find a mention of it in the manual? Does this simply allow small movements to try and acquire lock, move and adjust etc or ?? explanation would be appreciated, as targeting anything with Maverick atm has become more tricky, hence trying everything I can to increase distances on locking the target, forced correlation mode is not yielding much better results tbh.

I have probably dropped about 5 or 6 payloads with good results so far, so just confirmation I was getting it right, I will experiment with the lower HOF for exactly the same reason you highlighted tbh :D

No idea what I was getting wrong before, but I have the 87/97/103/105's working properly now, I am using 1200 HOF with good results so far, I have a feeling maybe the wind speed was too high in my test mission tbh.....and they were simply drifting way way off course.

I just dropped the A7 into the mods folder, and it works as expected, but missing texture, did I make a mistake installing it please ?

I had a DK2, and it was awesome, but was only any use for pleasure flights, the resolution and far distance lack of definition made it nearly impossible to fly without labels, even with labels it was hard to actually pick out the targets unless they were in your face, so unless this has improved massively I won't be buying. I sold my DK2 shortly after for this reason alone, an amazing piece of kit if they can nail it properly tho.
