Your hard work is definitely appreciated.

Looks great!

So did these ever ship? My shipping status never updated from "We've accepted your order, and we're getting it ready. Come back to this page for updates on your shipment status."

Don't see what the issue was. I'm sure there are 87 other ones they could have used, but I didn't think the one they chose was bad.

Are you printing the panels flat on the build surface?

I just opened it in Fusion360 and scaled it up in there.

And the separate knobs! :thumbup:

Wow, amazing work! You have given my 3D printer purpose in life! The amount of work you're putting into this and the updates are greatly appreciated!

I had all sorts of issues too, and what really helped was breaking things up in it small pieces no matter what aircraft, and lots of tutorials and taking notes... Making little checklists that I could consult when learning a new task. Having said that, the A-10C is a huge pain to learn. I would suggest the Hornet instead. Similar systems to many other planes, very easy to fly, much easier systems to learn than the Hog, and there are a ton of tutorials out for it. Bonus points for it being incomplete, so there is less to overwhelm you.

Excellent presentation! Incredibly helpful! This is why I love this hobby, so much amazing content that people produce and share. Every time I get frustrated and need a break, I start looking into the training materials that some really talented people have put together and I'm back chomping at the bit to fly again. Thanks!

Nice! Can't wait to try the newest version! This mission is amazingly helpful. Thanks

Very cool, great work!

Is there a current thread or other source of finding a squadron or group willing to help new players? I'm not exactly new, I'm just terrible. :joystick: All the reading, YouTube, and training missions in the world don't seem to be much use if you don't know that you're actually doing is fundamentally wrong. :doh: :lol:

Very cool interview, eager for more nerding out in the future!

I had no idea you could launch from the editor, I may need to start messing with this. Thanks for the heads up!

Seems like a reasonable feature and I hope it's easy to do and gets implemented. I'm sure plenty of servers will allow the AI. Options are good. If you can't find a friend who wants to play RIO, there will certainly be countless other options available.

I'm no expert, but it seems like you're trading fuel for speed. You still have the speed after you launch. Is that fuel in a drop tank you're about to jettison anyway? Is that fuel you need to get home?

The reality is that only two people can say what a fair price is. The buyer and the seller. Takes two to tango. If the buyer thinks the price is unfairly high, he doesn't buy it. Even if someone else thinks the price is too low, that doesn't mean the other buyer is wrong. For me, right now, $70 isn't a big deal. For some folks, it is. Neither of us is right or worng about the pricing. I will say they are reaching the upper limit of what I'm willing to pay for a module unless it includes compelling content. The F-14 is not a must but for me, but the campaigns and multiplayer pushed it over the hump. Having said that, the price is a concern for others that I would fly with. A lower price would have meant more sales thus more of my friends to fly with. If it was any higher some guys may not have bought it, and that would have meant I wouldn't buy it. Going forward, modules like the F16 or Strike Eagle will need to be significantly cheaper for me to consider tbem. $70 isn't bad for a module I really want (F-4 please) but for a module I'm not really into it's just not going to happen without some other compelling add on.

Sounds like you need better friends. :thumbup:

Outstanding! I'll be downloading the new version tonight!

Great work!

Hornet. You already have it, it is already flyable, and it hits many of your likes about the previous aircraft. Very pilot friendly, not constantly trimming/etc, good BVR using a similar radar to the Eagle, good bomb truck for that stuff, and lots to perfect and learn with carrier ops as well as features coming down the pipe. I like the early access because it lets me focus on learning stuff in smaller bites without being inundated with features.

I'd rather see Korea and Vietnam maps than more modern maps. Of course an F-4 would be required for the latter. ;) As far as modules go, bring on the opfor modules so we have something that is high fidelity to fight with our Hornets and Tomcats. Stuff I have no interest in since I already have so much to learn on the current modules I own! I'd love for them to give me a breather, and let the guys who like the Soviet stuff see some love... And pay some bills!

I'm not going to be crying if I'm "stuck" spending Christmas vacation flying the F/A-18, or Warthog, or P-51, or Sabre, or... I'd rather have it working later rather than rushed and unplayable due to unforeseen issues.

Same issue here. Typically, I just assume everything is user error when it doesn't work the way I expect it to!
