Good fights last night deadbeef!!

If you're talking about the ones in my shots, yes...I believe they are Barthek's (sp?) I can look at it tonight and tell you for sure if you're interested.

Flying with Sport from 26FS, on the buddy spike server. FAC(A)

Just some screenies I've taken the past day or so. All unedited, except for size. OK, I edited this one a bit

I agree that it could be a good time to develop a new HOTAS, however consider this - Even though, as Wynn stated $500 every few years is a relatively cheap hobby if you take into considerations the cost of others i.e. golf, skiing, camping, model building etc etc there are people out there, and I'd be willing to bet the majority of them, probably aren't willing to fork that over every two years. So, what would be more cost efficient to produce and sell at a lower price point? Modular HOTAS equipment. I would venture a guess and say that we would see Thrustmaster maybe produce modular throttles and sticks to replace those that come on the A-10 system. Say they could see these for perhaps $199-$299. They would probably make more money in the long run as that is a much easier sell to those who aren't as hardcore as some of the simpitters and such. Not to mention, it is infinitely easier for me to explain to my wife why I spent $199 vice $500!!!!

Have you seen this thread? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104154 Not that it currently offers an immediate solution, it does prove to be an interesting thread however. I doubt Thrustmaster will make one for the 18 as Rogue stated, due to the relatively recent release of the warthog. I think they, or someone, can still capitalize on the modularity of it the system and produce some interesting things.

Not sure if it would make a difference IRL but I save it both times as I've noticed it not sticking.

Oh sorry hah. Guess I misread what you were saying - apologies. The one by one I made mention of was just selecting the station one the DSMS page and viewing profile for that specific weapon on that specific station. So if you have a GBU12 on station 8, you can select station 8 and view it's profile. This is the method that gave me trouble.

No. I mean on the DSMS page, before you select a weapon/station hit the prof page. It'll bring up a consolidated list of different weapons you have on board. Use the osb to move the selection down (OSB mid left, can't remember exactly which one) Once you see GBU-12 highlighted click view profile at the top. Now the changes made in here will be sent to both bombs, at the same time. It's nearly identical to simply just selecting both on the DSMS page, however it does seem to stick this way.

I've noticed it sometimes as well, but it's much less likely when you do it through the actual profiles page, not each individual bombs profile - atleast for me anyways.

Auto-lase time should correlate with your altitude. If you are trying to auto-lase for 12 seconds from 4,000-5,000 feet or so it can cause your ordinance to over-steer, or you could get the fail auto-lase yellow notification on your MFCDs. So far, my rule of thumb has been 8 seconds below 10k, 10 seconds from 10k-15k, and 18 seconds above that. Might not be the most precise math, but it's worked for me. Also, as the others have suggested, sometimes when you're lining the target up it's easy to forget to set it as the SPI and simply only place it in point track.

Yep.

Yes it's normal. I believe it's reloading/refreshing data.

I just started flying on this server, and I must say its been a great experience!! It's awesome watching the hueys head out, with the hawgs and fighters in tow.

Yeah, I just built a new system not too long ago also. I figured the key was not to build for 2016, but for 2018 or so. Noticed you're in Maryland...I work in Alexandria.

Looks slick man, I really like that case. What is it?
