Mate thats a 2 year old post :d

No roblem man, i actually enjoy it cos im curious about it as well. Just modified that last mission so it has dynamic weather, nothing changed ccip was still accurate on its own. Hosted a server and loaded the same mission, result didnt change, ccip was accurate. Modified the mission, changed my a10's spawn point to be above sukhumi and created a new target in a valley south of batumi. Flew over there, released the bomb and hit the target all the same. As far as i can tell it doesnt matter dynamic or static, if you maneuver properly you will hit your target without the need of manual input in laste. dynamic weather settings i used was: Baric system = Cyclone System Quantity = 1 Pressure deviation = -1261 Pa Turbulance = 40 0.1*feet no fog no dust smoke

Like i said, this time the wind speed is 5 kt's higher on every layer, single mk82 direct-hit on T90 released at around 8k feets of altitude and the right mfcd shows the LASTE-wind page so you can see the current wind speed and direction during the flight. Also the track file of the same sortie is attached. mk82 test.trk

It should be around 15 kt's Jimmy IIRC. At the beginning of the video mission editor shows 10 kts @ 33 feet 21 kts @ 1600 feet 16 kts @ 6600 feet 14 kts @ 2600 feet I release the bomb somewhere around 8k feet of altitude and you can see that ccip pipper is pointing to top left corner of the T90 at the moment of release, the bomb hits ~5 meters to the right. This difference points to a problem, not about the IFFCC's solution but my control of the aircraft. Still it is a catastrophic kill but i could've done a better job. @Mastersetter If i get the chance today i'll try to the do the same mission with even worse weather and keep the right mfcd on LASTE-wind page so you can also see the wind speed during the sortie.

Here is a of a mk82 drop from around 8k feet with no laste manual input, single hit kill on t90. Like yurgon mentioned earlier, this issue has been discussed a lot. I used to almost always used manual wind data input just cos i enjoyed doing it but it doesnt improve anything as far as my experience goes. You can release your dumb or guided weapon from 15k feet if you want and it will hit where your ccip cue points to, as long as you are keeping your aircraft steady before release of course. Laste effects gbu's the same way it effects dumb bombs but since gbu's can guide themselves towards the target it wont make much of difference as long as you are not dealing with wind extremities. If you are missing with gbu's and if there is no problems with the game itself, then its almost always about your delivery method, you are probably doing something wrong. And to be honest this is one of the easiest things to test in dcs, first thing you need to make sure of is your delivery method, it needs to be good enough before trying out laste. If you can consistently one shot a T90 with mk82's from lets say above 6-7k feets of altitude, then you can try out the effects of wind and manual laste input. When i tried this out, not inputting any kind of wind data manually let me hit targets consistently from 10k feet of altitude with mk82's. But of course all of this is what i experienced, best thing to do it try it out yourself and see what happens.

You dont need to do anything mate, after you take off, as you fly, IFFCC system constantly watches for wind direction-speed and builds its own wind table automatically. If you are asking about how to see the wind direction and speed as you fly, you need to enter the system page of the cdu then LASTE then wind. It should show the wind speed, direction and weather temperature on the upper section of the screen. You can read more about it on 205. page of the a10c flight manual which is located in your dcs directory, mods/aircraft/a10c/doc Edit: Correction, its 204. to 207. page of the flight manual.

I ve never used those spreadsheets but you can just use the laste page to find the current wind direction and speed while flying. For example switch cdu to laste, show it on the mfcd, and take notes after you take off while climbing. Lastly, you really dont need to enter wind data manually. IFFCC builds its own wind tables while you are flying, and its dead accurate. Manual entry wont improve it.

I dont think he is doing that to piss you off, thats just standard procedure Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

I dont remember the exact words but you can tell them something like " srcond element engage targets of oppurtunity with rockets". Then they will try to find ground targets and engage them with rockets Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Sounds like a high quality troll made me chuckle:d did you try ordering him to use specific weapons or are you just using the attack command? Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

You need to explain your problem a bit more than that.

You dont *need* to enter wind layers manually, laste does an almost a perfect job on its own. Dumb bombs or not, as long as you keep the aircraft stable during the dive ccip pipper is dead accurate.

Empty weight of the aircraft + fuel load which you can see from the fuel gauge Should get you pretty close everytime, unless you like carring lots of weapons. Edit: although now come to think of it, i cant remember how much the full load of 30mm rounds weigh. Gotta check that too just to be on the safe side. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

I thought dynamic weather was not working properly, did they fix it?

And here it is, thanks for reminding me what it was eddie. Hope i can keep it in my head this time.

Everytime i forget it couple of days after reading it but in the a10 there is something about messing with the altimeter before you take off. You shouldnt mess with the altimeter setting cos it screws something in the weapon trajectory calculations or something like that.

I might be misunderstanding your question but Did tou try pressing hotas cms down ( not aft) while airborne ? Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Maybe OP thinks the lever on the TM Warthog stick is an axis instead of a button?

Yeah, ive born and raised in turkey. Thanks man, i appreciate getting a compliment like that from a native speaker but i still think i have lots of areas to improve upon.

Well, IMO the dead reckoning would be the ground floor of navigating but i dont think you would enjoy that one at the beginning. Like other fellas said above, sticking to a single airframe is a good idea and a10c would be the right choice there IMO. You pretty much got 4 different methods for navigating with a10, dead reckoning, vor/tacan, TAD and EGI. All of these methods except dead reckoning has corresponding chapters in the flight manual of the a10. You can learn more about the dead reckoning method through google. Although, before trying to learn these methods, getting familiar with the instruments of the a10 has priority. Im not talking about every system there is but like HSI, ADI, HUD etc. The fundamental ones are needed for whatever you want to do in that aircraft. When i started learning the hog, i started with the EGI for the navigation. Upside of starting with that is you get to learn at least a couple of things about the CDU as well, but at the same time, it could start to get a bit boring since ,at the beginning, you gonna spend most of your time reading through the flight manual. That being said i still think its the best place to start. So go ahead and start learning more about the instruments, choose a method for navigating, start reading about that and try it yourself. If you come across something you dont understand or fail to do, just visit the a10c thread of the forum and ask away. There are lots of people here more than happy to help as long as they can see you are trying to learn.

Its a bit like going hiking, you need to know the route, important land marks etc before you actually go there. So when you go there and get lost or something like that, you will have the information you need to figure out where you are relative to your target/destination. And most importantly, keep your head out of the mfcds during the flight, and look around you. Its far more easier to stay aware if you keep checking whats around you instead of being heads down whole flight.

hey man, first of all no need to get frustrated cos of not being able to do something. There are plenty of people here that are more than happy to help. That second paragraph kinda confused me a bit though. Here is what i understand and please correct me if im wrong: 1) Mission needs to start at night time, complete darkness. 2) Aircraft needs to be cold. 3) Aircraft needs to be positioned on batumi airfield. 4) Labels set to off. (Are these only the unit labels or do you want to switch off the cockpit tooltips too?) 5) "and change all the hardware on the right to none save a minimum ac setting" by this did you mean, switching everything except a couple of systems to off on the right console? If so, which ones? 6) Dont know what you mean with CDC. Can it be CDU? If so, what do you want to change in CDU? 7) Do you want to pre set your radios to the ATC frequency or do you want to create preset radio channels? 8 ) "However, every way I attempt to do this, following the very brief and unclear manual, the mission starts me in mid air off the coast with no aircraft. I’m just hanging in midair motionless with no aircraft." This could be happening cos of the "skill" setting of that aircraft. It should be set to client or player. 9) Your exterior lighting problem, to me, sounds like a HOTAS Pinky switch problem, are you using it? This is the switch for the exterior lighting located on the left side of the left throttle. 10) This could sound a bit dumb but are you sure that your aircraft is up and running while you are trying to get permission for taxi? I've just tried it myself, it works just fine for me.

lol thats some parsimonious AI right there. A true one shot - one kill mentality :d
