If you can provide a track of your free flight, i can imitiate what you do tonight on my pc and see what happens Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Maybe i should've been more clear on it. Those meanings i posted are from the nato aap-7. Maybe they were using rifle for any A/S missile launch before i dont know that, but they are not using it like that anymore, its agm-65 maverick only. Edit: Dated 2007: Brevity Dated 2009:Brevity and i have one that is dated april 2015, that says the samething too. Edit: BRUISER / Air Launched Anti Ship Missile / AIR-MAR(Air Operations Maritime) LONG RIFLE (Report launch location in BULLSEYE format and weapons track direction) / Friendly, long range air to surface missile launch (e.g. AGM-130, SLAM-ER) / AIR-AGO(Air operations - Air to Ground) RIFLE / AGM-65 MAVERICK launch / AIR-AGO(Air operations - Air to Ground) Quotes from the "NATO STANDARD APP-7 JOINT BREVITY WORDS Edition F Version 1 APRIL 2015"

rifle is used for agm-65 only. splash means both HOSTILE aircraft shot down and Weapons impact (A/G)(A/A).

Well, yeah there are. Like jtac giving 9 lines or some aircraft on FAC(a) duty giving the same, CASEVAC calls things like that. For the most of them, you can find info about them online with just searching on google. One thing you gotta remember is that you dont have to use proper brevity words to communicate on radios, i mean if you know the words of course you should use them but the main idea here is to relay maximum amount of relevant information through least amount of distinctly recognizable words. So in most cases where you forget or dont know the proper brevity words just relay the information you have with using simple understandable words. Edit: For the brevity documents with hundreds of words in it, dont get scared by it, half of them doesnt have any use in dcs, just read it once and you can see the words you will need to know on your first read through. For example if you look at the nato brevity document i posted, brevity words in it have group names on them. Like AIR-AGO, this means air operations-air to ground ops, since you posted this question in the a10c thread i assume you mainly fly the a10, so most of the words you will need while flying the a10 will be inside the AIR-AGO category.

Nato Brevity Check out this document for the brevity codes NATO uses. That call simply means, he is going to take off from the runway 30 and he will be flying north to exit the controlled air space of the Sukhumi. You can use the VAD (visual approach and departure) charts in your kneeboard for making calls like that. These charts are the colorfull ones, not the black and white ground charts. After a simple search in the google like this "how to talk to air traffic control", you can find documents like these "how to talk to atc".

If its possible for you, bind your keyboard to CDU buttons. Edit: It takes something like 30 seconds to input 7 layers of wind and temp data, when you use your own keyboard.

Im not sure if this is the case but look at the "gameplay" tab in the options menu and make sure "game flight mode" and " game avionics mode" are disabled.

thanks for sharing

No problem, just ask whenever you need help, someone will surely help:) Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Alright here is what you need to do. Open up the control menu inside the options. On the upper left corner, there are 2 dropdown menues next to each other, the one on the left chooses the airframe, one on the right chooses the action category (systems, flight control, etc. ). Choose "a10c sim" in the left dropdown menu. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Use the airframe list to top left corner of the screen. Click on it and choose a10c sim Edit: maybe i misunderstood you. What i said was for how to change the controls for the a10. If you are talking about how to open up a mission to fly the a10. You can use the misson editor for creating a mission with the a10 or you can use the campaign, mission, instant action options in the main menu. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I doubt that they take fuel tanks to any flight that has the possibility of combat Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Thats my point though. If you feel the need to use the air brakes, you are obviously doing something wrong. Dont get me wrong, im no expert on the a10 nor i stay in close formation or air refuel perfectly. I do use the airbrakes too when i start to speed up a bit too much. This is the crucial part, that "speeding up a bit too much" happens because you/me are not comfortable enough with the throttle management. Thats why you need more practice, but if you depend on your airbrakes everytime instead of proper usage of the throttle, you are actually telling yourself " dont bother learning the throttle, just use the airbrakes". As a consequence instead of getting better, you are just doing the same mistake over and over again until it becomes muscle memory for you.

Ye im realizing my mistake now, should have bought a better pedal. A poor judgement call, what can i say :)

If you need a step-by-step walkthrough here it is, and this is how i do it, You shouldnt be approaching the tanker with more than 5 knots of speed difference. 9-10 seconds before you are in range of the boom, you should lower the speed difference to 1-2 knots. A2A Refueling is basically a close formation flight, so you will need to fly straight, level and match your speed to the tankers. The moment you hear the contact call, there are only 2 things you need to watch for, your speed indicator in the hud and TVV. TVV has to stay aligned with the artificial horizon and your speed should be the same with the tankers. These two are actually connected to each other because when you change your speed that will effect the lift vector and force your aircraft to either climb or descend and likewise if you bring your nose up or down that will change your acceleration. So the important thing to consider is, if you increase throttle you will need to counter it with just a little bit of nose down pitch before you see the effects of speeding up and vice versa. I actually find it like trying to hover with a helicopter, everything you do on 1 control surface will effect the others so you need to start countering them immediately. A10 s engines cannot just jump 50 percent power in an instant, there is a delay between your throttle inputs and the engine actually spinning up to set power setting. This is why i said you need more practice, you need to get used to it.

If you are having trouble with the speed control, i dont think any techniques would help. You just need to practice more. I dont know how they do it in real life but like Axelerator said, ive never seen a video of a a2a refuelling with brakes open. As far as my experience goes you dont need the alignment lights, level flight and speed control is the way to do it.

So ah, i just tried to re-calibrate my rudder pedals from the "devices and printers" menu inside the control panel and it shows that my rudder pedals inputs move in between a 0-1023 value range, the "twitching" on my inputs, constantly change this value by ±2. So if i can force it the ignore the value changes smaller than 3, it should be fine. Does anyone know how to do that?

Here is the recording of my problem I keep getting these "shaky" inputs from my rudder pedals, its not a game breaker but it really annoys me while flying the huey. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, i would really appreciate it

ye rudder for turning, stick for walking

you need to press it three times in quick succession

You can make him walk around after you land with the parachute Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

As far as i know, normally the tower would tell you where to hold short, something like "Dagger flight, Sochi tower, taxi holding point X runway XX via taxiway X" and if its needed they will add a contact radio freq. to the end of the first transmission with a "continue on XXX.XX" call . So you will look at your ground chart find your taxiway and holding point, go there and this time contact the tower for take-off. But since the towers in dcs doesnt tell you anything about any of that, there isnt much you can do. If you really want to do it, you can just stop at the end of the taxiway that is connecting you to the active runway, you can make a call on your own for take-off and proceed to the runway. Edit: I wish they upgrade the ATC a bit, nothing too fancy, just a bit more information on its calls would be fine for me.

Oh my bad, there should be a "2" instead of the "10" i wrote Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Hey Snoopy, is there any reason for not loading the litening pod on the station 10 or is that just the way its been done?
