Haha, yes indeed. I've started delving into the nebulous CDU...this is where my question stemmed from.

Ahhhh! I get it! I was thinking a Steerpoint was a type - but its just the 'selected' waypoint\mark\anchor. So when I press DMS - short right\left that is just activating one of the waypoints as the steerpoint. Thanks!!!

Hmmm...Ok. Can anyone give me an example of when I might want X amount of waypoints, but only N amount of steerpoints? I'm still confused as to the application of each. Why would I not want to travel to a waypoint?

Could someone please help me understand the difference here? They sound very similar and I don't see it explicitly defined in the manual.

GAME!!!!????? I take offense.

Ha! I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be able to create enough lift with no wings.

Good post. I agree, the reflections are too much and detract from FPS.

I have this same problem. Once I'm almost trimmed out, I typically engage EAC hold.

I really wish the Industry would look to DCS as an example. I think more games should do long open betas such as this. Not only does it satiate hunger for the game, but it allows the developers more access to direct feedback from the community. The current model - the long closed beta - appears to not work very well, especially in MMOs. Once the beta goes open, it's too late for new features and major bug fixes. At that point they're only stress testing. I say: If there is more demand for long open betas, let us have them!! I'd be willing to pay an extra $10 for access to the long open beta. Especially when it's as polished as A-10C was.

Beta 3 has a problem with the "tuned fog" feature. Even at short range the targets appear blurry and show lines on the screen. I've rolled back to Beta 2 until the fog thing is fixed.

I don't have any trouble with ILS Frequencies... I always use 108.90 The only button you should have to click is the on-off. Using the mouse wheel for the right knob?

The 104th used the A-10C in Afghanistan out of Bagram. That's the perfect place for a Hog pilot. Lots of opportunities with the gun. Here's a pic of Bagram with A-10s on the tarmac.

I was just thinking the other day... Why isn't there a Middle East theater? I'm pretty sure (besides Georgia) that's the only place in the world where any 'real' war is being made. Wouldn't it be fantastic to fly over Iraq providing CAS? I'm reading a great book right now about Hog Squadrons in the Gulf War of 91'. Those Hog Drivers had lots of stuff to shoot at.

I have the same opinion. Every time I run into something that seems counter-intuitive or clunky I'm always wondering "Is that the way it is, or is that just beta for you?"

Here Here!! I tried setting up a Tanker with 4 waypoints. The last waypoint had a command that was supposed to point the Tanker back Waypoint 1, as to start it's track over again. I thought this was going to solve our problems! Alas, instead of picking up waypoint 1 and continuing the track, it landed. LAME!

Crap, I was hoping those would be ILS. How do I discover what the ILS frequency is?

I have the same question. How do I set the editor with my A-10 to start inside a hanger, and how do I open the doors? I've seen videos of this on YouTube but they don't explain...

Hello community - quick question... In the mission editor, what does the triangle-shaped object with two numbers followed by an x mean? For instance, above Batumi it reads 16X. ?

I use TMS Up/Short - Track...to try and track.

WooHoo!! This patch is a game changer - WOW! Just the electrical model is amazing!

I'm having a MUCH easier time locking up Mavericks after the patch. I'm still using the TGP to acquire and designate targets. Then slave the Mavericks to SPI. Press TMS up/short (constantly clicking up to attempt lock) to lock and knock that thing off the rail!! Feels good to watch the missles fly off!! I'm getting Mav locks at around 4-5 miles now, where before I had to be right on top of them. That doesn't mean they always hit. I'm somewhere around 60%.

This new update KILLED my frames when Vegas is in view.

Ol' betty. Annoying as ever.
