It is planned to make a spiral bound manual available.

Who was the manufacturer of the motion platform?

This week's Jane's Defence Weekly had a full page article, headed "Russian experts sceptical about China's new J-20"

Guillemont (stand 5015) will be showing Thrustmaster probably with DCS:A10C.

This has been debated ad-nauseum. The strength of DCS series is that you can view anything that is happening anywhere in the world. Falcon used a "bubble" system. You can only view what is happening near you. What is happening elsewhere in the world is a look-up table, and you can not view it.

Very many congratulations to you both.

Thank you for this feedback - it is very helpful. If you purchase Lock On Platinum and there is no serial code printed on the back of the printed installation guide, please scan a picture of it and send to ED support. They will then issue a serial code. If there is no installation guide in the box, please send a proof of purchase to ED support. Please note that in Russia, this week is a general holiday, so we only have a skeleton level of support.

Latest Issue Preview of DCS:A10C Open Beta Review of Thrustmaster HOTAS Final installment of DCS:Black Shark overview

Yes - a final fly past was made today. Low cloud meant that the full flypast could not be done. Video of yesterday's practice:-

There are some superb training areas for Afghanistan in the Caucasus. As you probably know, in the 1990s Russo/Afghan war, Russia used the Caucasus for training - problems of helo ops at height, extreme temperature etc.

I heard a very interesting story from a very senior person from the Harrier community last Thursday. The UK MoD had advised the PM that the Tornados and not the Harriers should be decommissioned. It is alleged that the night before the SDR announcement, three senior RAF officers visited the PM and got him to ignore the advice from the MoD. So next day, the MoD was as surprised as everyone else at the announcement that the Harriers were to be decommissioned. If there is any truth in this, has anyone any idea who these officers were, and their motivation? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Batou. Have you been in touch with Tomcatz? He has created models of a typical Afghan village, and small town?

Yes - they were incredible. The heart routine is a standard display in real life. But I have never seen it with a 3 ship on each side of the heart. Real Red Arrows team of 2011 should watch this!

If none of you are watching this weekend http://www.virtual-airshows.com/english/vfattv/vfat-tv-europe You should be!

Suggest you do not patch anything. Some of the FC2 training tracks are broken. But they work in Lock On, that is why you should keep Lock On.

The reason to keep LockOn on your hard drive is that all the training missions work (whereas some are broken in Flaming Cliffs 2). You do not need to patch Flaming Cliffs 2 - all previous patches are included, as well as multiplayer link to Black Shark.

Tyger - Bravo Zulu!

Flaming Cliffs 2 is part of LOP, so only in English.

Regret, LOP is not available in the French language.

A bit of trivia: For the early F4s at low speed, if the pilot tried to correct a wing drop with ailerons, that wing would stall. The pilot had to correct with rudder to get back to straight and level.

Please note that the current role rate in the current beta is too slow. In a forthcoming beta it will be corrected.

Hi Headspace Very surprised as to how quickly you have learnt how to fly and use A10C systems. Suspect you may have some prior experience! A suggestion:- IRONHAND set up a very useful website for LOMAC, but he has now departed for new ventures. Can you set up a website for DCS:A10C showing your vids?

Are you sure you do not have a pause button? On my Dell Inspiron it is FN+F12.

LOP has been on sale in USA for the last month and we have had to re-manufacture. TARGET are also stocking.

I never cease to be amazed at the creativity of the community. See this video: The creator of this video captured the actual sound at the Eurofighter display at RAF Cosford, and then flew a virtual display to match the soundtrack. Amazing!
