I cannot believe this. For me its like saying HOTAS is a "nice to have", optional hardware. Flying without it, will never be the same.

Thank you Gunnergolly ! This really did work ! :thumbup: I am so happy now. :)

Thank you, it still doesnt work. But now i know that i am not alone. (i really did use the search function, before posting this thread) cheers.:thumbup:

I tryed with different distances(right now) and it didnt work. After i pass B1, it always switches directly to M2 and not U2, as i would hope. Also i cannot switch between M2/U2 when i press B2. But thank you for your hint.

Hello. I did read the manual and also watched the video from Leathernek about ARAK Pop up, but i dont get the "U" waypoint displayed. I also cannot switch between "M" and "U" as is written in the manual, when i press the corresponding waypoint button. My Procedure is as follows.(on the ground, or while flying, doesnt make a difference) --> Data Panel Selector to TAKT. --> IN/OUT Switch to IN. --> Number 9 then B2. (To set waypoint 2 as a target point, but i read in the manual that this isnt even necessary, and it also seems like it because i will also get an "M" displayed, when i skip this point) --> entering the direction and distance from where i want to "pop up" eg. 22007(first 3 digits direction, last 2 digits distance in km) and B2 again, to save it to M2. --> IN/OUT Switch to OUT. --> Data Panel Selector back to AKT POS When i invert the last to steps, it doesnt make a difference. I would love to get some help. Thank you in advance. :helpsmilie:

I enjoyed it very much and look forward to the next one. Thank you !

The F-29 Retaliator on the good old Amiga 500. It was the first game we had on the Amiga, and i played it alot. But at that time, i was only 6 or 7 years old and had some difficulty's understanding the mechanic. After that came the F/A 18 Interceptor, Fighter Bomber and Gunship 2000 (and some others)

Great job ! Thank you for your dedication ! :thumbup:

Thank you very much for your shared found ! The landing is something you have to get used too, but as long as you fly fast(350-400kmh) and shallow and get the right "feeling" to "flare" (i hope thats the right word), you can do it as easy as in any other plane. I had also a very hard time at the beginning, but after about 20 landings i would say i can land it quite safely under normal circumstances. Its something one has to get used to. Hopefully you enjoy the ride as much as i do, its one of my favorite planes now, since i had the opportunity to learn it as deep as its provided in this simulation.

33 here. And this was my first FlightSim and also my first Game on the Amiga500.

ups i did missunderstood the poll and clicked on "not support". Of course i would ! :thumbup:

@eXPeRT So you will tell me that only proffessionals who earn money with a specific kind of information are legitimate to have some idea about something? 99% of all discussions would be dead at the beginning then and nearly all forums empty. I just tryed to be polite and didn't had any intentions to sound like a smartass, thats why i adressed that i am not a professional and don't know for sure, but wan't to know for sure. (But i got information from a professional) Can i assume then that you are a trained professional and can clarify this subject with hard facts/data? I would appreciate it. If not, maybe we can meet someday (we can arrange a date with PM's) and i will be your wingie for a mission to learn from you? Thank you

I never had success with pre-emptive flares and i think i did test it quiet intensive. I would love to see videos about using pre-emptive flares successfully against manpads in DCS-World because then i can learn something and i always wan't to learn something about air combat tactics. As an example i didn't know that the sun can have an effect with IR-Seekers. If this is the case, where can i read about it ? (real life and DCS-World documents/statements) As far as i know the Sa18 in DCS-World does not work as its real life counterpart. I don't know for sure, because i am not a trained proffessional, but i think it should work pretty similar to the Mistral missile because they are both 3rd generation IR-seeker missiles. The Mistral missile, once locked and fired, will hit the target no matter how many flares you pop. But you can delay or prevent the lock-on with pre-emptive flares. Thats what i was told from a trained proffessional. Also i am very curios how this single guy with an igla can see me coming when i fly treetop level and shot me from max range. It just is very strange und from my perspective very unrealistic and also not fun. The best is always to stay high enough to not get hit(above 12.000ft AGL), but there are times when you know there are other threads which force you to go low and dirty and for me thats the most fun part of flying the A10. My current fix is to use the Detection scrip mod http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=117424 and to be ready to pop flares like crazy as soon as i get a missile launch. Its much better with the mod but also far from perfect.(sadly) Or to only fly missions without manpads at all. If someone is skilled enough to know how to use the A10 in a high threat environment, which prevents flying high, with possible manpads, which are always possible because they are stealthy and lightweight, then i highly wan't to know about this tactics and i am sure many others want to know them too. :thumbup:

So i tested my pop up attack now with the release version of the "Detection Script" and it was a big difference. Now the Igla attacked me after my bombing run and not while i am still low before popping. I did only 1 testrun now, because i wanted to share my experience. I highly recommend this script for Manpads. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=117424 edit : @ Flagrum : I understand that absolutly. I just have troubles believing the way manpads are working here in DCS-World. And also the information network around all anti air vehicles.

Your script works good (1.2.6). Thank you very much, this will be a standard script for all my missions.
