Hehehe... your ship is a mess...;) I think you're a winner so far

Niiice :) Lost an engine and a tail - must have been hairy...

Well, the leading edge slat is missing too... The tires blew because the only way to stop on time was to pull the emergency brake handle and jump on the pedals.

RC=Release Candidate, i.e. when your software is ready to hit the shelves...

Hahaha... I know.. I guess it's an amusing way to waste time until the B5 (and the soon the RC) knock on our doors. And by the way I have more of those but much more shameful.. So let's see what you've got guys ;)

Had that one too*.. Very stable level flight and lateral control with differential throttles. The problem came on the final approach when I dropped the gear and lost too much airspeed. Apparently it turned out that the stall speed without 2 wings is well beyond 200 knots... Needless to say that I landed upside-down (so it doesn't count for the contest :) ) *check the attached pic and note the Mav bug - missiles still hanging there - but that was mentioned already somewhere else.

Here is mine.. Indeed a nice joystick(+throttles) and rudder pedals are critical in this task :joystick: My_Wind.trk

While we wait for the Beta 5 here is an idea: A contest for screenshot with the worst battle damage which an A-10 can survive. I suggest the image should follow the criteria*: airplane landed and static on the runway; at least main wheels down and locked; pilot alive with the canopy open after the landing; no other vehicles in the area; obvious battle damage (the worse, the better); *and this can be subject to community discussion And here is mine #1 screenshot:

Just tried the Airfield Mission! First thank you for your efforts! Great Fun indeed with some remarks: even though the runway was hit along the centerline on at least four critical spots I wasn't convinced by the tiny craters from the GBU38 that the runway is unusable. Neither was the game actually.. Could not get a message that the airfield is disabled (maybe GBU31 will do better). perhaps it is going to be more realistic if there is a CAP flight to support the attack, and the MiG-29 and Su-27s are not just static but real threat. for this particular area (Adler) maybe attack from the mountains is going to be more surprising against those 2S6.. Apart from that the airport animations are really good with all the traffic around. And this is how the flight has ended (made me very proud of myself)...

It's not that advanced I'm affraid... (one can barely communicate with ATC in MP, what to say about the others :) )

[EDIT] Pls disregard... I had to change the file to .zip.. everything is fine here Unable to install TARS.... The downloaded tars file is not executable. If I change the file as *.exe on run with my Windows 7 x64 it says that "this is not a valid Windows 64 application... blah blah..." I have a feeling I am not doing something right...

Heya guys, nobody is blaming anybody for anything... we re grown people with some sense of business etiquette. Quite understandable is that such a serious development as the A-10 sim has sometimes unexpected twists. I am (we are) just looking for some updates which IMHO should be coming from time to time. Anyway.... :pilotfly:

Curiosity killed the cat, I know but I can't help it........ Any B5 ETA? . . ----------

suggest you move to A-10.. at least the action is more if that's what you looking for

Chinese can do anything these days....

I've flown Falcon 4 years ago, and even though I could not remember exactly all details, I was able to perform a dumb iron bomb bombing wihouth much problems. Even in the DSMS the weapons profiles make much sense considering the previous F4 experience. On the other hand there are small details about the A-10 symbology that you might want to check in the manual And if you wat to perform with the LGBs and the JDAMs definetely a look in the manual/forum/you tube videos by Tyger worth the time waste.

That is a good review indeed and covers my points of comments with regards to the campaign. There were a few small glitches as well such as all wingman being stuck on the taxiway and not being able to take off. It would be interesting if possible to implement some sort of rearming restrictions. For example on one of the final missions I returned and rearmed each time with 6x Maveriks worth 150,000USD each to go back to the field and smack some more russian APCs. I did this 8 times (untill I actually was so sick of it that I just ended the mission) and calculated 7 million USD being thrown on the field just from my side. With this regards it would be more realistic to have a store count during the campaign and not be able to rearm with whatever we would like... Just a tought.

Why don't you manually restrain the view areas through the TrackIR software?

Quick question: In your thread about the Video settings your nVidia Panel settings are: Nvidia Control Panel Settings ************************ Amb. Occlusion - Not supported AF - 8x AA Gamma - Off AA Mode - Override AA Setting - SLI 8x AA Transparency - Off CUDA - All Max pre-rendered frames - 3 Multi display - Single display perf. Power - Max. performance SLI rendering mode - Custom (see AA setting) TF Aniostropic opt. - Off TF Negative LOD bias - Clamp TF Quality - Quality TF Trilinear opt. - On Threaded opt. - On Tripple buffering - Off TF Anisotropic opt - Off Vertical sync - Force on Here your point No.9 is stating that the VSync is a performance hit... Can you please confirm which one is to be used? Other users opinion about the vSync will be much appreciated either. Cheers

Yet another reason for all our tanker frustrations is that we are trying to do it after a long day in the office, heavy dinner ans a couple of glasses of wine (and perhaps wife/girlfriend calling from the bedroom)... :)

I would like to join this message and say, THANK YOU ED TEAM! Enjoy your holiday (presumably with водка "Урожай" :) ), you really deserved it!

Between buying 10 cartridges for my ink hungry HP + giant PITA until I get it all sorted out and buying the printed manual... Hmmm$$??

New HOT regions I recon this has been discussed many times. Yet, I'd like to bump it up again. Now that the A-10 sim is very close to be perfect, it is time to start thinking about something new and exciting - as to fly out of the Black Sea region. Indeed I know there is Nevada Map in the pipeline, but it kinda seems to me unrealistic to fight opposing force on the American soil. My proposal - why not adding the Persian Gulf. It has been, it is, and it will be playground for many conflicts. I still remeber the long night hours flying in and out of Iran on my beloved F-19 :alien:(see the map to release more memories)

Are you guys talking about the "MaxFPS = 120;" line in graphics.cfg?

Hahaha!.. Miro - nice touch :) Merry Christmas to the whole ED community! Great to be here!
