Mad Dog 7.62

Sounds good. I like the ability to get kills on Abrams with 1 missle, and not getting barraged by TOW missles from 1 Bradley.....looking forward to the file with the corrected 30mm ammo. What will be different in the values from the original files? MD

Thanks! Nothing like a simple explanation with pictures!

I have it installed, but haven't had time to try it yet. Is there a edit I can make to change the ammo back to the way it was if I decide to go back to AP ammo?

Well, there is the problem...obviously the Canadian military has no Ka-50's. :-) I had the same issue with one particular user mission I created and was never able to resolve it. The rest of the missions I have made have worked fine though. Is this happening on ALL your user created missions or just on one? MD

Is your pilot the same nationality as the player helo in the missions?

And that 30mm 2A42 cannon will slow those speeders down.......!!

You can load chaff in the payload screen. I tried it against a SM-2 missle and it seemed to work pretty good....unfortunately the ship had more SM-2's than I had chaff......

Well, this has turned into a "my guess is better than your guess" thread......

You will have to create your own payload that includes this missle. And remember to flip the laser switch from ranging to designate when you use it! Not many people use it but it is good for taking out big targets from a distance.

Just put mine on pre-order! MD

I have flown all of those as well....and don't forget Digital Integrations Tornado....remember setting up an attack on an airfield with 4 Tornados all coming in from different directions and hitting at the same time?

Nice work....

The problem as I understand it is the fire control system can only select the pylons in pairs...either inner or outer....therefore you cannot have an asymmetric payload. We'll have to wait for the Apache or Cobra for that I guess.

The quick link on my windows menu says "ED Forums"....I have been waiting for a comment from the wife!!! :megalol:

I know that ED probably modeled the authentic magnifications of 7x and 23x on the Shkval, but is there a simple way to change them with a file edit? MD

That cable is nothing but a old PS2 keyboard cable. Radio Shack might still have them, and you can find them on-line at computer cable vendors. Saitek will not send you a new cable unless its under warranty and you send them proof of purchase etc. The reason I know this is I had a similar problem with mine I was sure was the cable, but it turned out to be a bad connection inside the stick that I was able to fix (and so far its held up...fingers crossed). MD

I am looking forward to the A-10C. I am thinking that once they get the new engine fully developed and the basics worked out for fixed and rotary wing aircraft the modules will come faster. Hope so anyway! MD

Nieldo's solution worked for me! Having the rockets/missles on the first trigger position is a better idea to. Thanks for all the help and input! MD

I am having a bit of trouble getting the weapons release function programmed to the second trigger position on my X52. I couldn't seem to get it to work through the SST software, so I tried through the game interface. I still can't get it to work properly....if I program <joy15> to release weapons, it does not work UNLESS I also manually hold down R Alt on the keyboard....but if I add the R-Alt modifier to the command through the game interface, it still does now work. I know people have done this....can someone clue me in on what I need to do? Thanks!!! MD

Maybe he doesn't know? But yes, I am waiting for the manual ED is having done!

I have almost 12 hrs to go yet here too....MST. Maybe we can hope for the next DCS module in 2009!:drunk:

Well, someone had better jump on it and give him what he wants quickly, (even if its on Christmas holiday) or he will get mad and leave again......we wouldn't want that, would we?? :cry::lol:

Anybody know whatever happened to Skypat and Modman 7? He seems to have fallen off the edge of the earth..........

Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out.......:music_whistling:

The system is not designed to accomodate an asymmetrical payload. The pylons are selected in pairs. I am curious now what happens if you put, for instance, a fuel tank on one and a rocket pod on the other though.....
