Well screw me on a poggo stick. CCRP has made my last 48 hours kind of miserable. hahahaha. Super thanks for the replies. :thumbup:

Can I make the gun trigger and the bomb pickle the same button. I think I understand why you can't because both bombs and gun can be armed at the same time but if there's an off-chance this can be done I'm asking anyway. And this one is making me crazy. In CCRP I get the 4 diagonal slashes when I hold down the pickle button. Everything I've read and videos say I just need to be in AUT mode, slew the camera on a spot on the ground, line up the vertical line and at about -10 seconds hold down the pickle button. Assuming bombs are armed, A/G mode, and master arm on. I've tried mk82 and several other types and all the same results. Different speeds, attitudes, and altitudes. To confirm I try to CCRP in AUT mode, it won't let me, I immediately switch to CIP and drop the bombs to confirm bombs were armed. Note the HUD says AUTO and when I get almost exactly in level flight it changes to BAUT. Some videos I've seen says RAUT instead but I don't know what the difference is. Barometric vs Radar?

This is normal and expected. It's because of being tail-heavy. Push too much neg G and end up in an inverted stall you can't recover from (it is recoverable but very difficult). Being tail heavy is the same feature that enables the Su-27/33 to be very maneuverable, and when removing the limitations by pressing the S key, to do the cobra. AFAIK this is modeled (mostly) correctly and real pilots are almost never pushing neg or flying inverted in combat. That's air-show stuff. When you roll-in on targets you are not suppose to push negative. Rollover inverted to whatever it takes, pull +Gs and then roll-out with your nose on the target. The Su-27/33 certainly can roll fast enough for this.

I'm not good by any definition but I found if I just commit to full down/off collective while slowly descending works better for me. Also add turning and I can see my landing spot easier. I also start my APU while approaching in case VRS and I end up having no choice but full collective and generators fail.
