The only conceivable way someone could do that without padlock, in my mind, would be to record at verrrry slow speed and carefully track the missile with the mouse. They could then speed it up when editing. This thread should be placed elsewhere, however, as it has nothing to do with "Third Party Projects." Screenshots and Videos would be more appropriate. :)

Honestly, if you can get that far, it's not hard to turn GeoTIFF or SID imagery into another format.

Same problem here, glad I bumped into this thread so quickly! i7 4770k 3.4ghz, GTX760 4gb, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz, and a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD.

+1. Wags, thanks for the information. The transparency is appreciated! Looking forward to the future.

Google "kinematic coupling." That should explain the purpose, although for an aircraft like the F-15 it is far more critical than for the A-10.

The "Forgotten War" usually refers to Korea. Good link though!

When introducing this to students, I describe a lighthouse with the usual sweeping white light but also a blinking red light on top. The white light rotates at 1 RPM, and the red light blinks once every minute at the moment the white light points towards magnetic north. By comparing the time between the lights, you can determine a bearing from the station. (Radial) The HSI is really very simple in principle. It simply rotates the instrument face on which the VOR indication is shown, turning it into a Heading Indicator. I can expand if you are confused.

It will be interesting, for sure. I (and most combat flight simmers I know) are not interested in an FSX offshoot for combat, though. That's some creative capitalization, by the way ;)

It's going to be a great show. :)

I feel like any line of reasoning that justifies the Gripen over the Super Hornet is just backward reasoning... but who cares.

Maybe if this fighter is unmanned... I'll leave it at that.

Everyone is talking about the small cost of dropping tanks... but every professional military aviator I've met or read has a personal aversion to dropping tanks without definite need. Everything is a resource, but more importantly, professional pride/integrity is at stake.

Derbysieger is correct but that's not the full fix. You need to change the port in [teamspeak directory]/tars.ini, and ALSO change the port here, in the TARS control panel:

The localizer (component of the ILS responsible for lateral navigation) has a limited area of usability. In real life, it's something like this: (Can't say if DCS has identical dimensions) The glideslope extends to approximately ten miles and spans approximately 1.4 degrees elevation. Your task is to intercept the glideslope from below at an altitude of around 2,500 feet above ground level. If you'd like to approximate a real world ILS approach, simultaneously intercept the localizer and arrive at this altitude when you are about 10 miles from the airfield. If you aren't sure how to read the F-15's HSI in FC3, I believe the manual does explain it in fair detail. If there's a catalog of ID numbers, it's there. If you are looking for more information about approximating real-world instrument procedures, feel free to ask. Good luck.

Private, and it will have to stay that way, sorry. (Although that's not necessarily how I would want it!) This is unrelated to ED's Hornet and certainly unrelated to CTD's project. We do, among other things. I can turn it on and off. Like this:

Actually even today, for the kind of missions the A-10C performs, good datalink and good imaging are far more relevant than radar. SAR is going to be an important technology in the mud-moving business, but regardless of updates, the A-10 isn't designed to pick its targets, it's designed to be told which things to kill.

Flagrum is correct.

This is great! Good idea, good execution. I'll be using it.

You're referring to "baking" the keys. Same idea, of course!

AFAIK, DCS does not currently support inverse kinematics.

What are those, crayon colors? :puke:

There are no guides to do anything really serious. Not even close. ED has resources to do targeting and associated avionics for a wide variety of weapons, but I don't know of a 3rd party that has gotten into any great depth with a modern fighter. Nothing remotely like A-10C.

:)

This thread just helped me out, quoting for truth. Might help someone else if it doesn't get buried. This should be in FAQ somewhere, but I didn't see it.
