Modern conflicts are about asymmetric warfare, not dogfights. Hence I prefer another slowpoke for CAS purpose, like AH-64 - which could fly along the A-10C on a virtual Afghanistan battlefield.

Landing mission not fixed with patch update, or is it just me? Still get Lua errors while trying to load.

Can someone who already got the patch post the change log please?

Speed will drop like a rock once our friends from across the pond wake up. :D btw. is there a patch note/log already?

You might use his board account for the purchase. Payment details are not visible.

Altogether I welcome the new training, which is superior to what got delivered with KA 50. However, my problem about these missions is, that if one doesn't follow meticulously the assigned tasks (i.e. not holding required altitude while performing a flight maneuver), the tutorial simply interrupts and there is no way of bringing back previous instructions. I either want a function to browse back and forth through text windows or, if this would require too much work, at least a .pdf version of training missions.

Might be even a treat. :music_whistling:

Interesting to know that MemphisBelle obviously got considerable better performance on his DualCore @3,1, compared to my QuadCore @2,33, even we both utilize a Radeon 5770 (1 GB). So I'd suppose it's rather a CPU issue. Anyway, I'll wait for the release version before considering upgrades. After all the A-10C runs smooth enough already if I refrain from enabling TGP.

I got a Q8200 (4 x 2,33 Ghz), 4 Gig Ram, Ati 5770 (1 GB), and for the most part the performance of A-10C is about on par with KA 50. Can play at 1900 x 1200 with all the bells and whistles on. However, once I enable TGP and select my Mav's, FPS drop like a rock - in particular over dense areas.

Iraq/Afghanistan to reenact recent conflicts and maybe Israel/Iran for a future scenario. However, Afghanistan is my favorite. I would be willing to pay for such an expansion.

I would prefer a map of Southern Afghanistan, with ISAF Forces and Taliban units. So we could build our own Operation Dragon Strike. :music_whistling:

German bank accounts comes with a debit card which get accepted everywhere in this country, while on the other hand many vendors here turn down credit cards due to payment fees. Of course, one can acquire rather pricey things with a cc, but you might be out of luck for everyday purchases, like a haircut or groceries. Add to this that Paypal has established as a common payment option for digital distributions. My VISA got issued 3 years ago and I deployed it for the very first time now. Almost forgot that I still own one.

For some reasons I struggle with the mission editor. :blush: What I want to do achieve is: building a simple mision with 4 waypoints and my A10 C starting from parking, with status cold and dark. So I get the whole startup procedure to accomplish. I opened mission editor, selected object->aircrafts and "take off from parking." However, after saving and subsequently loading this mission, I saw my A10 C at external view but couldn't get into the cockpit (F1 didn't work). Could someone point my into the right direction, about how to work with the editor, please?

X52 has a pretty good price-performance-ratio. Using mine for two years now and will stick with it, until I can afford something like the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS.

Mission description tells something about battlefield commander mode. Does that mean one can use the map as some kind of strategic layer, to command combined forces for a common strike?

I'm in the same boat. Tried to find a virtual Visa which can be funded by Paypal, but such a service doesn't exist on the web. So in the end I had to dig my never-used LBB Visa Prepaid from the drawer and transfer € 50,-. Took me two days, instead of the 30 sec. by using Paypal for purchases at GamerGate and alike. *sigh* As annoying as it is, you have just two options. Either get some kind of credit card or wait for release and a German distributor.

Well, just tested Black Shark. Delivers ~35 fps at outside view and I can't see any perceiveable stutter. No, I'm not blind, don't even need glasses yet.

Problem with Visa Prepaid is, that you actually have to deposit money there, where Paypal pre-finances and takes it subsequently from your bank account. Anyway, I transfered money to my Visa now, since there is obviously no other way around. But it takes days until it's at my disposal. :mad: Wonder why nobody offers a virtual Visa which can be funded by Paypal.

Don't own the AC-10 yet, but KA 50 runs silk smooth on my QuadCore 8200 (2,33 Ghz), 4 GB Ram and Radeon 5770 - in 1920x1200 with max details. Since both titles are built on same engine, I expect similiar results from the Warthog, once it gets optimized. ED games are less demanding than FSX with a bunch of add-ons. Aside of that, the human eye hardly recognizes any stutter beyond 24 fps. That's the framerate wherewith movies get produced.

There are titles like Arma 2, covering fps style ground combat. Unfortunately controling vessels is no fun in these games, due to simplistic modeling. If I had wish for the A-C10 Warthog, it would be an Afghanistan map with ISAF missions.

Impressed by the footage I was about to make an impulse buy today, even it's stilll Beta and not everything fully functional yet. But then I learned that this title is only to acquire by using a credit card. Where I live we have our own debit card system, in addition I got accounts for paypal, click & buy and a visa prepaid. There is no need for a 'real' cc and I don't plan to apply for one. Of course, I could transfer $60,- to my Visa account but that takes a few days and on a second thought I considered to wait for the release version. Like with the predecessor, Black Shark, which I picked from vendor shelve here. How about you guys would introduce additional payment options for customers convenience? Aside of credit cards, services like paypal are standard for international distributors nowadays and might help catching people, who just fly by your website and consider an impulse buy.

Welchen Catalyst-Treiber hast du denn? Mit dem 9.1 soll es auf einigen Systemen wohl zu Problemen kommen.

Mittlerweile habe ich herausgefunden, daß man mit 'c' den Waffenauslösemodus für die Bordkanone aktiviert, 'z' und 'i' zum schalten der inneren und äußeren Waffensysteme dienen. Die Kanone ballert auch fröhlich, wenn ich die Leertaste drücke, oder den Knopf am Joystick betätige. Nur wie ich die Raketen auslösen soll, ist mir schleierhaft. ALT(rechts) + Leertaste funktioniert jedenfalls nicht. Oder kann es sein, daß Raketen grundsätzlich ein Ziel augeschaltet haben müssen, um sich überhaupt abfeuern zu lassen und falls ja, müßte ich dazu dann die Leertaste bei deaktiviertem Bordkanonen-Feuerknopf © betätigen ? Unsereins kommt ja aus der zivilen Luftfahrt und ist damit noch nicht vertraut. :music_whistling:

Habe mir die Datei mal runtergeladen und ebenso das Tutorial, nebst dazugehöriger mission, von SimHQ. Starten, landen, schweben und finden von waypoints klappt mittlerweile, nur mit den Waffen hapert es noch. Egal, welche Mission ich wähle, zeigt mir das PUI-800 immer untenstehenden Bild und ich weiß nicht, wie ich zwischen den einzelnen Waffensystemen umschalten kann, um Raketen auszuwählen, so daß oben auf dem Display die grünen Punkte (weapon readiness indicator) erscheinen.

Considering you're going to release a German issue as well, I would purchase it.
