Mad Dog 7.62

How to get 1.5 Open Beta? Since this will be a open beta release, how will we get access to it? I presume the updater won't automatically update since presumably not everyone wants to download a beta version? Will we have to manually download and install? And reinstall each module? Or ?

I did not say it was "wrong" but it is too dark for my taste in the current build and appears to continue to be the same darkness in 1.5. Sheesh. I also am not reporting a "bug", just asking others opinions. Thanks for moving the thread to Siberia. I guess asking a question is Verboten.

So I have thought this for a while, and Wags images of the new Mig 29 cockpit brought the thought up again.....does it seem to anyone else that the cockpit shadows are TOO dark? Sure seems like it to me. And I am concerned more now because I noted that in 1.5 it won't be possible to turn them off. Thoughts?

I am looking for advice on hardware, not on timing on when to buy. Thanks.

I am not basing my decision on just DCS world. Just looking for a good all around system. Need pointers on things like AMD vs. Intel and Nvidia vs. ATI in bang for the buck. For instance, when I bought my last system Nvidia was having issues and ATI was the way to go. I don't know it that's still true.

Been waiting for this for literally YEARS!!!

So its about time for me to upgrade my system. I currently have a Core i7 930 at 2.80 Ghz with 12 GB ram and a ATI 5700 video card. I am looking at a new system from ibuypower, that is where I got my current one and it has been a good system. Any suggestions on best bang for the buck would be appreciated. I would like to keep cost at $1000-1200 if possible. Unfortunately I have not kept up with the new processors and video cards and I/o systems like Thunderbolt? so I need some input. THanks!

I have not been on here since last fall. Been busy! Couple questions though for those who have been here more recently...... Any news on Edge/Nevada? I thought it was supposed to be out before the end of the year and assumed that meant 2014? Can't find any recent updates? Also, there was a lot of talk about an AH-1G Huey Cobra at the time....can't find a thing about that anymore either. What happened?

I think an option to have scaling, and to be able to adjust it through the options menu, would be a great addition. It would help overcome the handicap of trying to spot targets with the limited resolution of a computer screen compared to the human eye.

That's awesome!! Great work!!

I use GBU-31 x 4. You can get them off in one pass if you are high enough and quick about it. Question of my own....which buildings or objects besides the ammo depot have secondary explosions?

I am getting excited about the upcoming F-86 Sabre. I recall reading a book many years ago in which the pilot describes in detail what its like to fly it, he was on a routine courier flight during the cold war in Europe if I remember correctly. I can't recall the name of the book, but I think it had "stars" in it. Anyone ever read this? Any other good books about the F-86? BTW I do remember that pilot talking about the F-86 as being very easy to fly, saying even his grandmother could fly it!!

In the "old" BS and A-10C there was a .lua file you could modify a setting in to make it possible for the outside view camera to be closer to the ground for those low angle screen shots. I think it was something like "camera terrain limit"? IIRC changing that value to false also allowed the camera to zoom in closer. I have been unsuccessful at locating that setting in DCS World. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Thanks!

Somehow messed up my joystick configuration after the 1.2.2 update. How do I get back to the basic Thrustmaster Warthog config? Prefer to go back there and start over rather than trying to figure out where I am now. Thanks!

Actually I think its "Eagle Dynamics Ground Enviornment". But extremely overdue, yes.

I will not be able to make it Hawgsmoke this year. Anyone from here going to be able to get there? Hope to see pics!!

I would have at one point, but now I have it on my iPad which works just fine!

Wow, who thought we would ever see wing mounted .50's again in the USAF?!

All of the A-10's I saw during Hawgsmoke 2010 had whichever pod they were carrying (Litening or Sniper) on Station 10. These were representative of almost every A-10 squadron and I do not recall seeing a single bird with the pod under the left wing. MD Edit: Just checked my pics and I am wrong. Moody (FT) and Kansas City (KC) squadrons have them on Station 2, everyone else seems to be on Station 10. It does seem to be a squadron preference rather than an individual aircraft thing as nearly as I can tell from my pics. In other words, all the FT and KC birds were left wing, everyone else right.

I too am having trouble stopping, and I am guessing this is why!!! :joystick:

The Fighter Ops Beta is out??? :lol::music_whistling:

Absofrigginloutley!! It seems a huge oversight to me that there is no Iraq/Afghanistan theatre for the hawg. Its flown how many thousands of missions in those two theaters? Nevada will be a nice change, but the A-10 has such a long operational history in Iraq and Afghanistan that its really going to need those two theatres to ever be "complete". The Black Sea region just makes no sense for the 'hawg.

Hard to believe you can get them started without knowing how to shut them down. All you have to do to stop them is pull them back past the idle stops. There is a full shutdown procedure you can find on the forums, or you could RTFM too.

I think the Warthog would eat Merkavas for lunch. ;-) A lot of the armor effectiveness on the Merkava comes from the slope of the armor. Its not sloped to be effective against air attack, which is fine as the Israelis plan to own the air over thier tanks.

Thank you! I was looking in the View.lua and not the server.lua! No wonder I couldn't find it.
