Weaponz248

Well as long as there is a keyboard list with the game all should be good. But reading through the manual it never once mentions a keyboard key press. In the end this is a computer simulation so key presses will be used if the manual referred to them as defaults or something it might be easier to get everyone going

This happens quite a bit in R/L too.

If AGM-65E was in the game all other mavs would be useless IMO. Laser is the most accurate MAV out there. It wont chase the sun and wont get confused on what it is suppose to do.

IRC way points are preprogrammed and all you need to do is select the next one. So in the mission planner you can set them to avoid those pesky SAMs

Well in R/L you would have ground troops and smoke to light the target area. Also zooming in a sim is like someone else said compensation for draw distances and graphics. Now using external views well thats a bit of a different subject if you ask me... But I can see both sides of the argument. The TGP is there for aid and works fine but sometimes you just need that extra zoom to confirm what you are doing.

Hey Ckurowic Not sure if this will help but I was scanning the manual and i understand your frustration The manual seems to assume everyone has the warthog HOTAS. I read the C/L at the end and they have the button tho press and what happens EXAMPLE DMS FWD and AFT adjusts zoom level of TGP. So I would say what ever key bind on the keyboard adjusts zoom level would be the key to use. Just some advice. Im just trying to help out. Also I normal write all the joystick/throttle buttons on paper and write down what functions I use the most and map them that way. Good luck Bud

Why not a 2 seater? janes did it way back when?.........it could work just have the AI pilot during bomb drops...granted this might not work well but I could just go into auto pilot for the drop and then you can take back over or something similar to that. I dont think a two seater would be overly hard or bad to have, but then again im not a designer or a programmer.....still a F-15E or F0-18 would be fun

F-117 would be fun, but I was hoping for afterburners!!!!! How about a B-1 now that would be awesome! Just saying could make MP fun too.

No but they do to get a look at where the targets are...

RL pilots have binoculars and can lean forward in their seat and also have the benefit of the best graphics engine in the world. So I wouldnt call zooming in cheating. And the TGP is used to search for targets thats what it is there for :)

Waypoints are also a good tool to keep you out of trouble. They can be used to steer you around those pesky SAM sites.....also good way to point a target out

True but what you are doing is buying the final product with a bonus BETA with it. Not all games have a BETA like this so I would jump at the chance to do it.

Yep thats exactly how its done. I do believe in the DCS world everything is treated as alert status.....so no EOR

As MVGAS said it depends heavily on the mission. What are your targets? I can say most load outs are without GP bombs.....

Man I hope not another F-16. I hate single engine planes, Im hoping for a Su/Mig or F-18/F-14. I really do hope ED stays away from the 16. Its already been done and done fairly well at that.

You betcha There is a ground safety pin that gets removed at EOR and yes weght on wheels plays into this as well. However with the pin in you can still rotate the GAU-8 as long as hydro is applied and the APU is running.....

Did you ever play Falcon 4? Not great graphically but one of the best sims to date. graphics dont make a sim the amonunt of detail in the pit makes the sim. Besiddes from your point of view(the pit) the most you should see is a little explosion and smoke.

Nice! But we really do get to spin the gun during OPS checks. No ammo in but it would take quite the sequence to set of rounds including a safety pin being pulled. But it is fun to sit up there and do a gun spin from the pit:joystick:

I could tell you close too what they have hanging because i just got back from there in sept........

This pic is over 4 years old i do believe....A-10s dont fly out of Bagram any more

Just cause you have a present day Iraq map dosent mean you need to model the campaign the same as the real one. I thin kit would be cool to have an Iran map and fight a future war. Just having a map of something present day beside what we have would be cool I think

Remember that these rockets only carry 9 lbs of explosive. So your going to have to get close. Thats why there are 7 rockets LOL not ever one is going to be a kill but you can lead sorta like you do with the gun. Most times now we use WP rockets only and use them to mark so the JTAC can confirm we are in the right area.

In my 10 years of loading Ive never seen a 113 only ever seen a DSU-33. Either way would be cool to see an air burst fuze in game or at least the 152 series fuze

Well there is that...:joystick:

got this straight from the manual hope it helps TACANs and ILSs in the game  Batumi. Runway 14 ILS channel 38Y (110.15 Mhz). TACAN 16X "BTM"  Senaki. Runway 09 ILS channel 26X (108.90 Mhz). TACAN 31X "TSK"  Kobuleti. Runway 07 ILS channel 40X (110.30 Mhz). TACAN 67X "KBL"  Kopitnaryi. Runway 07 ILS channel 34Y (109.75 Mhz). TACAN 44X "KTS"
