  1. I wish we had an option to only download the "low" textures. 4k textures are nice but they are HUGE and I only run in 2k anyway as in VR I am trying to squeeze every last frame out of it. I bet the program would be less than half if you didn't download 4k textures.
  2. The latest patch seems to have fixed the A-10A bombing CCIP target reticle actually accounting for wind. It's way more fun to fly on windy missions now that you can accurately drop a bomb on target. The cannon still does not correct for wind however. Is it possible to get this fixed? Thanks for the love. The A-10A is a great plane and bombing was pointless with any wind before.
  3. Yes thanks so much! I have been enjoying just jumping in a jeep and driving around Syria. The cities are so detailed. I would love an infantry module - even if it was simplified! VR is great on the ground. Hopefully ED gives CA some love.
  4. The Rockeye is not nearly as powerful as the CBU-97. It is a lot more accurate though. In that, you put the piper on the target, bombs away, and it falls and hits. I find the GBU-97 has a bit more timing involved as the bomblets slowly float down. I have been able to take out 4 closely driving tanks with the CBU-97. I don't think you could do that with the Rockeye. The gun dispersion seemed wide still, but it also seemed to pack a lot more punch. BUT I honestly have just been using it for soft targets the last year or more so I could be mistaken. In any event you could take out dozens of T90's with a full ammo load if you rationed your shots with it currently. I use the "horse of war" cockpit mod, and really like it. I hope they do an upgrade - I would gladly pay for an A-10A v2, I understand it takes hours of programming to upgrade stuff.
  5. Well with the newest 2.7 patch that rolled out today I noticed a few upgrades on the A10A. Canopy reflections are fixed. They are now not on the front three windows, only the side bubble window and a lot more subdued. I'm not a fan of canopy reflections but they are non intrusive now. You can load Rockeye's on the Hog! I tried them out. Against T90's they aren't amazing, but against other armoured vehicles they are really good. You can take out two parked close enough together. Or, you can easily hit one. The gun seems to be working better. I haven't tried taking out MBT's for awhile, but I was able to take out T90's consistently with about 50 rounds in the back top of the tank, shot from a high angle, starting at about .5 and shooting until .4 miles away (I believe the piper is in miles?). I tried doing this several updates ago and it took >300 rounds to do the same. Now the A-10A is a tank killer again! All in all, very happy with the update. Thanks for giving this old bird some love. I enjoy the FC3 jets the best. I can drop in, fly for 30 minutes, and not have to remember how to start APU's or 10,000 switches. Once life slows down I would like to get more immersed in the study jets but right now FC3 really scratches that itch of simu-lite. Thanks again ED!
  6. Today's update fixed this. AND fixed Rockeye's. We can load them on the A10a now! Thanks!!!
  7. Yes I found this out also. Restart the mission and the reflections are gone.
  8. Well I just spent an couple hours looking through all the files trying to find the graphic that it is projecting on the glass, no luck. It is terrible - the reflection on the front glass piece shows the artificial horizon - which is facing AWAY from that piece of glass and is behind it. Plus, when you do a run in and your artificial horizon moves (the actual gauge) the reflection just sits there directly in the HUD glass unmoving... Anyway, if anyone at Eagle Dynamics reads this please throw a guy a bone and show me which file to make all black to remove the reflection. THANKS!! (Otherwise the new update looks great)
  9. I am using an Oculus Quest 1 via link. It should be a normal 2.7 install. This is the default cockpit. Low/med/high textures all look the same for reflections I tried the a10a "horse of war" cockpit as it doesn't have as strong glass reflections as in 2.5 and it still looked like this. I tried the p51 and su25a. Reflections are much more subdued but still really distracting The Guardian have you tried the a10a in 2.7? Were there strong reflections?
  10. I love the clouds in the new 2.7 update. However, all the canopy reflections are very intense. The A10A is completely unplayable they are so strong. Is there a way to completely disable them? I only play single player so don't care about IC. In 2.5x I used various mods to remove them - they no longer work in 2.7. I've attached a screen capture. The white blob in the middle of the HUD completely obscures targets, especially with any cloud cover. The reflections move around you when you are looking around and are really distracting. Thanks!!
