ooooohhh, nice. self shadows & nevada red flag at sunset? thats going to be one sweet patch (es). best. sim. ever (imo)

Cheers man, i wil try that this weekend. What a weird bug, (assuming it is a bug). That would explain peoples varying success when all doing seemingly the same thing. Speed.

Thanks. I was driving about trying to find the "sweet spot" to park and re-arm as i was getting "negative", etc. What a doofus . :doh:

Quick question. Do I need to park anywhere special at my home airport for this to work? I know I can hot refuel and rearm and switch off for repairs, and have seem strongharms excellent guide. Does location matter? Sometimes it works, sometimes not and I have a sneaking feeling that I have to park somewhere special for some / all of these functions. At work and have no manual access. :book:

What? You got it working? :doh: Ive been through that tutorial about 5 times. Ive even got a "warriorx" dartboard (sorry warriorx ;)). What did you do differently? I really need this to work as some missions have 5 bloody frequencies all on the AM radio, and you have to be like Jean Michele bloody Jarre on the ARP 2600 to change all the dials all the time. GAH! (starts making CrashEd dartboard.......:glare:)

Multiplayer dedicated server.... check! 24 minutes ago via web Cool!

Ah, datalink fixed. Just spent an hour online with friend trying to put each others eyes on same Target. Cdu and lat/long are fiddly when getting shot at. Having access to wingman spi will be almost a religious experience in comparison. Hope the patch fixes the bloody radio preset bug. Only a few people have that working. Another time saver.

I had a blast last night with this mission until I got up to get a fresh beer and got my headset cable caught on my foot and ripped them from the pc snapping all the wires. Great new technique for dynamic mission targets though. 45 mins of soldering later and headphones fixed! looking forward to trying the mission again. Go TUSK!!! Go Grimes!

It seems like whether the JTAC gives you a target in your TAD is hit and miss in this mission, (you have to circle him a while before getting targets, as mentioned in the brief). He will give you co-ords though, so just enter them into the CDU and slave TGP to the new WP. Its a doddle (http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1126958&postcount=4) I always change my load out. No TGP and Mk-82 AIR’s my arse!

has anyone tried the other campaigns? are they working? as this ones borked i will avoid. tried it 3 times and i get variations on the problems listed above. i am now calling this "beta7" from now on ;)

Time to overclock the old gfx card. I want to see trees all the way to the Russian border!

hmmmm. tried the overwatch mission and the TAD was flickering and wouldnt set SPI after hooking. it worked a few times but was flakey as hell. i will try again tomorrow. only so much patience allotted each night!

Gah! Ive just spent two hours lounging around on the sofa and washing up after dinner WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN DOWNLOADING!! Damn you ED. What an absolutely fantastic surprise after a dull cold grey damp monday back at work. Right! tomorrow. Wench dismissed, dinner = takeaway, flight suit = on!:pilotfly:

What was that mission Mr Strong? Sounds like a whole lotta fun and might delay my inevitable saturday task of unblocking the bathtub U-bend, (any excuse not to do that!) ;)

any which works for you. B4 was the 1st torrent that worked for me and i just use uTorrent. the ftp option never works for me.

cheers i will try and practice this more tonight. the problem i was having was that the co-ordinates i was getting were clear of enemies, (and i turned labels on to have a proper look), so i am wondering wether this is a beta issue. it deosnt help the learning process when the AI is giving dodgy co-ordinates. hopefully the beta5 AI will have prescription lenses ;)

In some missions where the JTAC either isn’t working or isn’t present, allied flights call out target locations in bullseye format. Whilst I am familiar with the theory of bullsese co-ordinates I am a little flummoxed as to their efficient usage in terms of the TAD. I have read the excellent post by slug88 (http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1015902&postcount=7) as well as other posts and was wondering whether this was the most efficient battlefield strategy for those of us without the ability to locate bullseye targets unaided. BTW I tried this technique in the canned mission “midnight train to Georgia” where the AI repeatedly calls out “armour/artillery at bullseye 083 for 100”. There was nothing there for a 3 mile radius that I could see. Beta issue or RTFM? :helpsmilie:

Its an area that is so far very underdeveloped at least in the beta manual compared to the clear and detalied info on ABRIS / Datalink integration in the KA-50 manual. Oh, well, it is a beta after all. I need to force myself to go through the CDU chapters anyway. Must not start ironing socks instead. :music_whistling: I am not that strong in the force yet ;)

thats the bit i need to re-read in the manual. making use of all thos co-ordinates flying around without going heads down in the CDU (which is still a mystery to me ;)) Never tried this. So, you move the cursor around till the co-ordinates match what your heard and hit TMS-right to save as markopiint? seems very fiddly. Thats what i've been reyling on. Hooking the other aircrafts SPI and slaving tgp, then creatiing a markpoint. It seems a bit hit and miss though. Not being able to create my own targets on the TAD is a bit strange to a BS/ABRIS vet.

I have been re-familiarising myself with A-10 with beta 4 and am having trouble with task saturation, especially in the mission “defend camp yankee”. The main issues are as follows; JTAC rattles off 4 target locations with multiple ZSU’s at each, but then only gives one “red triangle” on the TAD. Is this normal? He does call out relative locations, “3 miles southwest”, for instance. Is that a relative distance from the red triangle or from his locatopn? If that is so, i should really be writing that all down. Or should I be doing some fancy CDU stuff to store the locations? Fellow CAS flight Bore 2-1 is also listing targets, but he is just listing co-ordinates, and nothing is appearing in the TAD. What am I supposed to do here? Write them down as well? Will TAD targets appear in a later beta? I don’t want to give up and go back to labels but I was flying around last night like a highly armed weather balloon whilst the war raged below me. Very frustrating in a “I’m doing this wrong” kind of way.

Vsync OFF only improves fps on old CRT monitors surely. 60fps is max for TFT. without it you get awful tearing. wait till later betas as they've just started optimising

off to bed now as i just finished downloading. sigh. will have to sneak off from family tomorrow to have a quick go.;) will leave PC on to seed for you guys. it might help your DL speeds a bit.

v a p o u r t r a i l s ! ! OMG! hurry up torrent!

Cheers Matt & ED. Happy xmas.

All the arguments about "boxed software" are becoming a bit anachronistic in these days of steam and cloud computing, etc. I know where they are coming from as I’ve been tempted to burn my copies of BS and A-10c onto disk but then i always stop myself and say, "i have RAID1, i have backups, i can re-download" . Optical media is dying in the same way as tapes did. In five years DVD's & Blue Ray will be on the way out as we will all have streaming set top boxes. In this light, holding out for a "boxed copy" puts you right up there with the flat earthers and those who refuse DRM. The world is changing and you can’t stop it. It’s your choice and potentially your loss. Join usssssssss……………
