I had a drift problem that was driving me nuts during AAR - I tracked it down to my HOTAS. A slight offset was visible when you displayed the joystick position on screen during the sim - I think it is <Ctrl><Enter>. Couldn't figure out how to calibrate my new TM, so I put in a small dead-zone - fixed it. I still get it when asymmetrically loaded but not when flying clean.

After applying the patch, the afterburner graphics (eg. F-15) is a bright yellow cone with some text written on it. Any ideas on how to fix? Win7, latest Nvidia drivers

This still seems to be an issue to Release+Patch.

Thanks for the confirmation Chizh, much appreciated.

Great work around Furia!

I noted that there is a reference to ADF on one of the radios - is this related? Can this be linked to the HSI?

Thanks MrYenko, but the question is can you use systems on the A-10 to work with NDBs? And are NDBs available within the DCS:A10 world, where can I find the frequencies and locations ... I seem to remember that they were in the BS world. The reason I ask about runways is coming into Batumi, the runway doesn't appear to be 130, more like 125 and the CDU shows 13.

Thanks HellMutt, I did find that thread with the airfield diagrams on. I've also found some approach plates for that part of the world, but was wondering how you would use A-10 systems to locate and work with NDBs and the HSI.

Is it possible in the Hog and if so, how? Where is the info for the becon frequencies and what is the relationship between TACAN beacons and NDBs? Thanks PS> The runway directions shown in the CDU, I know they are rounded up/down, but are these supposed to magnetic or true?

There was that incident a few years back when an EA-6 flew through a cable car line ... the plane had a damaged wing/tail so I guess it is realistic. Sounds like a great flight - thanks for posting!

And remember to save some 30mm in case the ATC gives you any grief! :)

For some unknown reason mine speeded up ... less than 50kB/s since yesterday and the last 40% came down at 500K in about an hour. No idea why, perhaps someone was standing on the wire ...

Yes, thanks guys ...

I'm not sure it's is my ISP ... I'm only downloading from a few peers and the fastest is 21KB! The rest are 4 and 5 ... It will arrive eventually.

Mine is crawling along at under 50Kb/s in the UK on Torrent, not very impressive ... and especially after apparently downloading B4 again from the German FTP site last night :(

Yes in beta 3 my wingman kept cutting across in front of me just once too often ... quick burst of GAU-8 - sorted.

Ahh, shame. Thanks anyway.

Is there a simple way to give alternate start points for a group? Sort of 40% chance it will start at point A, 40% at point B and 20% at point C?? Thanks

I'd like to see some more variation in damage effects/smoke rather than all the same colour rising at the same rate etc. Perhaps a 20% chance of explosions - similar to hitting an ammo bunker, rounds cooking off etc. Difference strengths of explosions, turrets flipping (see Steel Beasts) ... A 2000lb'er in RL looks terrifying from 1000m with a massine plun etc. Of course, if DCS took advantage of the other 5 CPUs in my system, thsi would be a problem ;) ... I know, not a simple thing by a loooooong way! One day.

You should move away from that Mav ... ;)

This is me v SA-15 ... I got him with a Mav, he almost got me :) Man those things are nasty! Not sure when I lost half my tail, I'd forgotten there was a gusty cross-wind on landing, tyres blew on landing and I did a 360.

Thanks Gnozo01, an LOD problem would explain it.

I was playing the stock rescue downed pilot scenario and I found the Blackhawks didn't appear to be drawn unless you were very, very close. I paused the game and panned around and looked for the choppers, but despite being right on top I could not see them. If I swapped planes I could see the A-10 from the Blackhawks. I was about 1/2 the width of the valley away from the Blackhawks at the time - I even went so far as to identify the texture of the ground the Blackhawks were over and then find this from the A-10 ... they were still invisible. All view options on high.

I don't know the figures, but I would guess cost. I would assume that Mavs are more expensive than Hellfires AND I bet you could carry lots more! Agreed the extra range on Mav would be a plus in some situations.

Isn't Brimstone based on the hellfire? And they put that on Tornado. I guess with the TGP you could lase, probably a shorter flight time than an LGB.
