Mad Dog 7.62

No one in the US has them yet. Why, is a good question.

Especially when the software in question does not even ship with the stick?

Good stuff, thanks!

It sounds as if there are lots of issues with TARGET. But its good to hear it works out of the box with both BS and A-10! So how do you set a switch to be a modifier in A-10 without running target? I would like to leave all the default functions as they are, but use the paddle switch as a modifier to add some view commands.

Not sure why, when BLT was the first US company to be taking preorders, that they seem to be one of the last to get them.

The only switch that does anything in the programming position is the dispenser switch. Thats what I got out of the manual anyway.

Go pawn her gun, and buy the Warthog. Two problems solved at once!!! :lol::lol:

Yeah, not sure why BLT is behind the curve on getting them in???

Thanks! Very helpful videos!!!

Cool!

Its possible now to have any pages you want up....you can have the TADS or whatever else you want on BOTH MFCD's if you want. Why is simply because you may want a page sometime without changing the presets.

I think I found it, thanks!! The Modernized TADS/PNVS program replaces six of the current LRUs with new ones. They are the PNVS, PNVS Shroud, NSA, BSM, TEU, TPS, and PEU. Also, slight modifications are being made to other components to address other maintenance drivers identified over the years. The DSA and Laser are not being modified. The modernization includes moving to a two-level maintenance concept for the new LRUs. The Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) were being designed to allow smaller Line Replaceable Modules (LRMs) to be fault isolated and replaced, rather than the entire LRU. The basic configuration and outer look of the M-TADS/PNVS is almost be identical to the current system. The PNVS shroud looks different, because it now has two sensors, the new FLIR and an Image Intensification Sensor (basically a built-in 18mm NVG tube). The pilot is now be able to switch between the two sensors and to fly using the one best for the existing conditions. Complete provisions were included to eventually fuse the two images. The shroud is broken into two LRMs (shroud and window), making removal much simpler. The current W-10 harness is being replaced with a two-piece design. The new FLIR has a much better image quality than the current system. It has 4 pixels across and 480 pixels down (4x480), compared to the current common module 1x180 configuration. What this means is that the system has much better wire detection and marginal weather performance, at least 20/45 visual acuity, compared to the previous 20/80

WOW! Awesome thread, lots of beautiful pics!! The Japanese have quite a variety of equipment and color schemes. Love the Phantom pics too!! Can somebody point me to more info on the Japanese Apaches? Curious especially about the radically different PNVS.

Try setting a small deadzone. I had the same issue until I did that.

OK, but back to the original question....is there a way to bring up a given page without having a preset set for it?

If you're blind, you won't be able to see the HSI. :-)

I haven't messed with programming my X-52 as its not working well and I have the Warthog HOTAS on order. Does it cycle through all the possible pages or just the ones you have set up on the bottom OSB's?

I understand how to change the presets for the MFCD pages, but is there a way to bring up a page without setting a preset for it?

Kylania, thanks for the guide on how to create the flight plan from target markers! I would never have figured that out on my own!

Pizzicato, if I recall correctly that was one of the well used Nellis birds. Nose is beat up from the refuelling boom.

Looking forward to the SimHQ review....but not as much as I am looking forward to UPS bringing mine. C'mon, Thrustmaster, get with the program!!!

You must live next door to me!

I have the same problem...bad connections inside the stick right at the PS2 plug. Its been that way since I got it, I have fixed it several times but it goes to crap again after a while. Its just not very well made, at least mine is not. I have decided to not screw with it anymore, and am waiting for my TM Warthog to arrive, soon I hope!

Fixed the bandwidth issue, and got the full results today...and here is one more pic I got today from the PAO....a nice aerial of a ramp full of Hawgs!! I will try to add more pics in a day or two. Also, got the full results today.....the 190th FS from Gowen Field was 1st place, the 354th FS from Davis Monthan was second, and the 184th FS from Fort Smith was third. Since the 190th cannot host the event two years in a row, Hawgsmoke 2012 should be at Davis-Monthan AFB in AZ.
