Meh it wont let me in D= I agree the gun just kind of sounds "off"... I wrote a post about it a couple months ago too. I went through a bunch of youtube videos with in-cockpit firing and, to me, the in-game just sounds to digital almost like an old 80's arcade system type of sound? Really hard to explain lol.

More like same difference, the weight of the contents of the aircraft affect the CG directly (hence weight and balance calculations). I believe this is what Dimebag was getting at... not that mass distribution IS the CG, but that they are closely related. Especially when was mentioned, more weight in the rear of the aircraft will result in a reward CG thus flatter spins.

vegaschavez As I don't have access to the beta forums to check that link, and assuming its a video option... I'd download the free trial of FRAPS and run that while you run the game. (Unless A-10C has a built in FPS meter) and see?

TSA Slows down your performance by making you go through full body scanning or invasive pat downs thus making your loading time to get in to your Hog substantially longer. Oh wait... =D

Maybe needed? xD

I'd be very worried about my speed if I was nearing VS0 so ignoring your speed is a very bad idea... however from the perspective you're providing I see exactly what you mean. If everything's right your approach speed will be what it needs to be. But I'd be cautious to say "don't worry about speed". =D

Fundamentally wrong, however practically correct. Have you ever tried slow flight and experienced flying "behind the curve"? Basically in this situation, you're creating so much drag that you need to add more power to keep yourself in the air... eventually you get to the point where you're falling out of the sky even with full throttle. This is precisely where the "backwards thinking" comes in that is meant to save your life. For example, coming in on final to an approach you find yourself going too slow, so you add more power... still loosing airspeed and getting dangerously close to stalling you press forward on the throttle only to find the throttle is already fire-walled . Someone without this training may panic and not know what to do. However if you're used to slow flight and have the experience of flying behind the power curve, you know immediately you need to pitch down to gain the airspeed and pray that you can get back on the other side of the curve before you hit the ground. (I.e. Pitch for Airspeed, Power for Altitude)

egorter you might want to put that on a website to link it bud xD Or perhaps we can upload attachments here?

Yeah that's the "station identifier" it is mores code for the 3 letter abbreviation so you can make sure you're tracking the correct one!

To me it sounds like he's asking how to view the target he placed in the mission editor without having to load up the game to make sure it's placed correctly?

The X52 has a little nub on the throttle that may move the mouse cursor by default, could be a calibration issue with this? Or perhaps physical issue with it? Maybe you're resting your finger on it? xD

Thanks kylania! Sent a PM to him, see if I can afford any of this stuff... :book: lol

Ah drats! Definitely interested now however... xD I'll see if I can find it, thanks kylania. Upon close closer inspection, that -is- an F-16 in the left MFD and what looks like ground radar in the right, duh. Oops =D

Not to mention illegal in several countries... lol! Anyway I've got my eyes set on the stick. I have an old Sidewinder FFB2 I was going to replace with the X52. Holy crap that stick's center tension is so weak, I'm not used to it at all! I can easily justify the TMWH - to myself at least! ----------------------- Might as well throw this in here too, I see MadDogMcQ has MFDs?! I thought it was just the button ring at first, but it appears the game is displaying a picture in them? Do you need some sort of video output for these or do they run a picture off of the USB? Very intriguing! Could someone enlighten me as to what these are and how they function with the A-10?

Awesome! Now for some reason that sounds pretty good! Super cool that JTAC pops smoke period! =D More vids guys!
