Thanks, all!

Thanks for the replies! Does the GUNPAC really add negative trim at all times? I thought it only did so when the trigger was depressed.

Well, what I'm really asking is this: if I do a runway start, what isn't on yet? My point of comparison is an Instant Action air start, where everything is on already (Mavericks warmed up, countermeasures and RWR set, etc).

Hello all, Is there a cheat sheet (let's call it a checklist) available for everything that needs to be done to get the A-10C ready for combat from a runway start? What are all the systems that need to be powered up before entering enemy space? Here's what I know, but I feel sure I'm missing some things: Master Arm on Laser on TGP on GUNPAC on Countermeasures panel settings Maverick EO on That can't be all. What other settings are not-yet-ready-for-action when starting on the runway? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply! I knew about the timer, but I believe I've been failing to align the Vikhr aiming reticule with the Shkval reticule. I've just now managed to have some success with that. It's a big change from the god-like aiming limits of the Maverick!

Hi all, I'm stumped by my Vikhrs. I can't get them to fire. (This is with BS2, latest patch, no mods.) I believe I'm doing things correctly. In the downloaded Weapons Training mission, I follow instructions to the letter (pressing buttons only when asked, etc.), and I can launch my first Vikhr successfully. For the second target, however, I can't get a "C" to appear and indicate a lock, and the Vikhr won't fire. Range and angles are fine. I've double-checked all my switches (Master Arm on, Laser standby, pylon selected, etc.), and I have the target selected and boxed on the Shkval. I just can't get a "C" lock to allow launch, and when I hit Fire nothing happens. (Guns work fine if I race up into range.) What's more, when I go into the Instant Action Shooting Range, I can't even get a "C" lock the first time! No Vikhrs will launch at all. I'm sure I'm making some basic mistake, but I can't see what it is. I don't believe I'm burning out the laser since I'm not riding the lock key--I just tap enter once to try a lock. Please advise!

I have the same problem as the original poster. I downloaded the file "Ka-50_Video_Setup_EN.exe" from this page. It's a hefty 1.49 Gigs, and it's supposed to install all of the training videos into BS2 in DCS World. When I run the exe, I get the error "DCS world not found. Installation interrupted." (The installer never asks for a location to install or gives any other options.) Obviously DCS is present on my system, as I was just playing. Is there a way to get these videos to work? Obviously I like and appreciate the training missions that have been made, but I'd like to see these videos too.

I noticed Tiger's AI Patch in the user files section. It's obviously an older mod, but is it still useful (and compatible) with DCS A-10C? The changes look like good ones, and I wonder if they've already been incorporated into later patches. If this mod is obsolete, are any other AI patches available/useful? Thanks!

Thank you! That's the file.

*bump* Asking for a little help. The file "combattemplates.lua" is located in "...\DCS World\MissionEditor\data\MissionGenerator\GeneratorData". Would someone be able to post a clean, unmodified version of this small file here?

I seem to have made this same mistake. Is there any way to get them back? EDIT: It looks like the relevant file may be "combattemplates.lua" located in "...\DCS World\MissionEditor\data\MissionGenerator\GeneratorData". Mine shows that it has been edited today, so the templates I deleted are probably gone for good. Would someone be able to post a clean, unmodified version of this small file here? Thanks!

Thanks for the help! :)

Hi all, I have a simple question: how do I uninstall BS2 without uninstalling all of DCS World (and A-10, etc)? The only uninstall option I can find seems to be for the whole package. Thanks for any assistance.

Hi all, I installed 1.1.0.9 way back when. Having been away from the game for a while, now I want to do a fresh installation of 1.1.1.1. Can someone tell me what files I can keep so that I don't have to redefine all my key commands, joystick, view files, etc? Where will the important files be located? Or will these be incompatible with 1.1.1.1 anyway? Thanks for any assistance!

It works! Thank you!

Help! Try as as I might, I cannot get this to work. I follow these steps to the letter, but I can't get the new view to save. Can someone explain further how things are supposed to work? (For instance, what's the point of steps 2 & 3 when you're just going to come back out of Snap View mode in step 4?) When I press R.Alt+Num0, nothing seems to happen. Am I supposed to be holding that combination down and pressing my assigned snap view key at the same time? Or not? Is any of this covered in the manual? What I really want to do is reset *all* the snap views to different instrument areas (and make Num8 the HUD). For instance, I'd like to have a focus on the warning panel, which I can't read from the usual view. (Zooming in manually is too imprecise when my ship is coming apart.) Thanks for any assistance!

Thanks for the links! :thumbup:

I've just started with Black Shark and I'm excited about this mod in particular. However, is it hosted anywhere else? I've been trying to get into checksix for three days, and it keeps timing out instead of connecting. EDIT: Oh. It seems like they have been hacked.
