This is really good to know .. thanks for detailing this.

Right now, as it is now, I think the KA50 is more fun in single play... I feel like im pretty invincible in the KA and have a much better situational awareness than in the Apache relying on George ..... but i play mostly on multiplayer servers. If we ever get the option to seat swap on multiplayer then I think my opinion will change..

I hope this is a WIP as it would be awesome if George did actually store these targets

This is exactly what I want.. Im finding it very difficult to find pilots who want human CP/Gs on the servers right now, so I would like to be able to use both seats just as I do in the single player missions.

DCS liberation and the upcoming dynamic campaign from DCS itself will give you unlimited missions to gorge on. Not to mention multiplayer servers and multi-crew co-op. You will not run out of things to do

If it doesn't then I'll be classing the sim as "literally unplayable" Seriously yes - it's a terribly distracting thing .. like a mole .... moley moley moley ... Sorry what were you saying about TADS again, Wags?

true enough... take out the word Pod.. ironically within a few minutes of posting this I saw a video by Wags saying this is coming in the next update

A functioning jammer and EW pod would be very nice.. The hornet is currently pretty underwhelming in A2A.

If you're only going to attack one unit it's probably not too bad, but the inability to define multiple SPIs up front and execute attack easily by quickly switching between them is where the HMI falls down. Switching in and out of multiple SOIs is terrible, error prone and just takes too long, even for people that know the flow. Oh well, if that what the true systems are, then good luck to the pilots that make it work.

Honestly the pilot workload with the A10II seems huge...the HOTAS setup seems so janky to me .. having to switch between steerpoints and markpoints, yadda yadda.. huge kudos to the guys that do this for real - but the HMI to me, is just janky. You can really see the "evolution" of systems from basic to where it is a now, and piling features on top of features instead of just starting it again and doing it properly. As someone with a keen interest in human machine interfaces (HMI) - the A10 seems a real exercise in how not to do it.

Ive bought it .. can't fly it for sh.. going to need lots of practice i think.. the old black shark is a doddle compared to this.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I am confused about what I need to buy in order to play Black Shark 2 online ... If I buy Black shark 2 but I do not have Lock on, or flaming cliffs, can I connect to games in which others are playing other aircraft (ie A-10, Frogfoot etc) and play in my black shark? Also do I need to download DCS World before I download Black Shark 2? (I have been a Black Shark 1 owner since release but am just coming back to the game now after a couple of years absence).

not always, definitely not in the 1st mission of the devils cross campaign

i changed the load out on the first mission of the devils cross campaign.. be buggered if im going in without a TGP.
