The shape of the waves and the direction they are moving very much determines if there are reflections to be seen and how much. Me personally i think the reflection in DCS-A10 very well fits the shape of the wave. The wave shape however is my main concern with the water in A10. Its the wave shape of a bath tub or any other very small water surface (wave size/speed). I see a major improvement is possible there. Happy New Year to All

Works great! Thankyou :holiday:

A last one for Flamin Squirrel: Amber seems to be the middle of the boom. That's where i concentrated on rather than the Green zone.

Those four little round buttons like the AP button? Don't touch them, they are out by default, if i'm correct, and that's how it should be. Oops double reply, haha. So they are in by default? Ok :)

This is how i managed, maybe it is of some help. When i was lined up nicely behind the tanker and at the correct altitude for the boom, i engaged AP. From that point i didn't move the elevator axis of the stick anymore (the plane stayed perfectly level with the tanker). Got closer and the boom connected. From there only tiny aileron movements to stay well in line. And i found i had to be just a little more quick with the throttle to keep the boom connected. It took quite some time before completely filled up, but what seemed impossible, suddenly looked easy when the tanks were almost filled. For me AP is the way to go.

Thanks all for the support :thumbup: On second thought this might open a can to more radio messages as well. Now it is limited to 12 keys. Doesn't the military readback messages? Always when tower says to 'taxi to' or 'cleared take off' i want to 'Roger' that but it's yet missing.

Yeah, i'm thinking about such a keyboard too. But then, i have not enough room in front of me. My keyboard is on a table to my left. I can find F1 and F2 blindly but higher than that it gets complicated :)

Comes to mind, make sure there are no other controllers assigned to same axes. Can't recall what exacly, but i had a thing going when i moved aileron, the elevator would move a little too

I tried this too with a wingman but it looks like a WIP to me. He positions himself correct but the boom did never connect. And he wouldn't listen to other commands either, he just stayed there (did look very easy for him, even when banking through the turn). I went rtb and after landing i watched external views but only the tanker and myself were left, he must have crashed, out of fuel.

This might have been brought up before. Since FC i find it hard to locate these F## keys on my keyboard (specially at night) to control the radio. Now that we have a HOTAS switch for radio tuning how about if we could use the same switch to select the radio items. Like eg. when the radio is selected use another button of this switch to scroll down. Then make a selection with another button from this switch. And again scroll down and make a selection of the radio command. So everything HOTAS, all to our convience.

When pulling excessive G's some older man have problems keeping it dry, that's what the bag is for :music_whistling:

Ah, cat strikes!

DCS A10-C needs bump map :D

Canopy part 2 This time the canopy disconnected well when i took off in canopy open mode :) It remained for the rest of the flight on the runway.

:thumbup: DCS! Torrent fine so far: avg 200 kb down - 150 kb up

Grimes, for both a "press the spacebar when ready" after each paragraph i think would help a lot. This way one can continue when ready or just skip items.

I just learned that when strafing with guns or rockets i'm not supposed to overfly the target, which i always did. I guess that's because the target could explode while overflying it. How cool would it be when the tanks turret would fly into the air when it explodes. And that this turret could hit you. Either way would be funny to see a turret flying somewhere around you :)

Thanks both. That came in very handy, now i'll get somewhere. Only Obama (the instructor) seems to have it's own txt version for some paragraph's :D

I too hope there will be some sort of sun only bloom. On my system HDR takes away a lot from the color, and also has this softening effect as if i'm very sleepy :closedeyes:

:) that's why i added - (coded) - If the foe's picks it up they get a position somewhere in Timbuktu

How come, such advanced technology (radio, laser, gps and what not) and still no way to identify friend or foe other than verbal identification? Maybe i'm simple thinking but what if all friendly troops would have a gps transmitter (coded) and send their position, the A10 picks it up and displays it on the hud? No more blue-blue errors.

Ah, thanks 159th Viper :thumbup:

How to choose another paint for the A-10C? I saw in the texture zips that there is a camo paint but how to load that into the sim?

I found the AP working in all flights by assigning a key or button to the EAC Arm.
