how do walk outside of your aircraft?

What you mean getting shot at lower altitudes and with less strike precision? I would think the increased upgrades would be a plus to survivablity. Seems only marginally more complicated to me. Flying the plane didnt change outside of making navigation easier.

Man all this time I thought you would have looked like 007. Im disapointed.

West Coast here and got my email update. Guess TM cant make up their minds. Paper launches suck ass.

I had this problem too and I simply could not launch no matter what. Now I dont designate the target or set the tdc as SPI until Im already lined up and on final approach. Havent had any problems with that since.

Is it possible to reset or recycle a hung jdam so it can be reused? If so how?

hmmm. I achieve 300knots or close to it everytime. Remember gear and flaps up

I managed to land with my airspeed, vertical airspeed, and hud altimeter indicator broken using just AoA and pnematic altimeter. Actually the landing went very smooth until I was halfway down the runway when one of the main landing gears buckled. Was pretty shot up.

Yesterday I tried to fly the unguided bombs training mission for like the 5th time. Before I even got to the range I had a CDC fail show up on my left MFD and the HUD altitude/airspeed started flashing and had to abort. I hadnt even reached WP3 yet and this never happened before. Couldnt figure out why it happened or how to reset it. I wasnt doing anything fancy. Straight and level flight.

I bought mine from them about 6months ago and shipped to US.

I think it is but I know some other people here think its a waiste of money.

Is it possible to designate a target in CCIP CR mode using the TGP instead of the TDC? I find it rather difficult to slew the TDC accurately onto a target without being very close to it to set the CR point.

I spent hours on the unguided bombs training mission and for the life of I cant seem to get it. Using the CR function in CCIP mode is not working the way I understood the manual's instructions. I just keep end up getting invalid release. CCRP is any better at 500ft according to the instructions because I have to get so close the Azimuth line runs off screen when I get near even if I approached with the PIBL centered on it. I tried the guided bombs lesson and it was so easy a baby could do it, but for some reason I cant even get unguided bombs to release. I managed to do it once and have been unable to repeat that.

Ive been running both 280gtx and 470gtx on the 258 drivers for the last 6 months with no problems.

Sounds like they make $100 profit off you.:doh:

I had a tcp break but it was cause I dropped it. I personally found the tcp was better mainly in that you dont have to wear a hat which I normally dont. Trying to look down often made the visor block my view to the monitor. The other thing was that its not affected as much by sunlight which would cause interference for me using the track clip.

Looks good. Wonder who the lucky pitbuilder is. :music_whistling:

I would recommend using the most expensive cpu and graphics card you can afford with at least 4GB ram. The rest of the stuff makes little difference to run performance.

some of the campaign missions do require a cold startup but admittedly not many.

3 seperate sims. DCS series BS and A-10C are supposed to multiplayer compatible eventually.

Couple questions regarding the autopilot. My assumption with the altitude setting was that you could maneuvre the plane and it would keep your current altitude, but if I try to maneuver, I just get autopilot warning and it shuts off. So how is this different than the altitude/heading mode? With the path mode, I thought you could trim your aircraft for say a 10degree climb and it would maintain that. However, when I try that, instead of holding 10 degrees nose up, it initiates a 15+ degree nose up attitude on its own until the aircraft loses speed and stalls.

CH is making a Warthog setup too but its not going to be marketed to the consumer.

The only issue I can see with using key commands is you still need to extract current key positions from the sim if you want it to be synchronized. Push buttons are easy but on/off switches and more importantly 3 position switches and dials and will easily lose synch using that method.

Read this thread. He has some coding examples I used to get started. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=45377

I wrote a sample program that will talk with a usb generic HID device (not game controller as it is very restrictive). Problem is that getting into USB is quite a bit more advanced. I had to read a book about it but essentially it would do the same thing OC does but with my own software interface interface which likely is not as advanced as what other more experienced people could come up with. Plus programming the firmware just to get it to properly enumerate in windows was a challenge by itself.
