And yes I was completely sober when I created that Illiad-esque epic of air combat.

Not such a great aircraft? I could rant about how you are an idiot and that I will curse you by infesting your armpits with 100,000,000 camel flies but I'll save that for later. The only problem is that Post-Top Gun Insane Tom Cruise, who is straight, can't replicate the previous Pre-Top Gun Sane Tom Cruise that was obviously gay. We need a A-10 movie...Dirty Flying: Iraq. It's like dirty dancing with the A-10. Which if an A-10 were to dance it would be very ugly considering the only dance it knows is the dance of pure, raw and epic destruction. Except it's basically Sean Connery, an ancient Northern European (He has the blood of all the Welsh, Irish, Scottish and English in him minus Titus Bramble.) pilot, somehow finds his way to the USAF and flies the beloved tusked destroyer. While going through the USAF Weapon School, etc etc. (Replace everything from the Top Gun film that has Navy stuff with Air Force stuff.) and finds himself in Saudi Arabia. Next thing you know he has to dogfight the entire Iraqi Air Force, who mostly fly with the skill of a retarded camel driver, and fight his way to Saddam's Pleasure Palace in Banghdad. In true James Bond fashion he simultaneously pleases hundreds of non-Arabic po...Adult Entertainment Actors, while destroying the entire Iraqi arsenal using unlimited ammo. (Mind you this is while flying. BUT VRV OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS. HOW CAN MY MIND FATHOM THIS? Ten words. Space Elevator invented by the Japanese to combat Space Godzilla.) There is also one fundamental problem. The A-10 is a single seat aircraft while every Top Gun film ever created has to have at least two pilots in the same aircraft. Midgets. His RIO / MIO is a midget that sits in this dome like thing in the center of the aircraft like R2D2. His radio malfunctions so he ends up sounding just like that adorable, godless, souless robot. But he dies because he gets struck by lightning. Thus Sean Connery, Maverick (His other callsign is AGM-65), becomes a raging alcoholic and fights Fat Val Kilmer resulting in being discharged by the USAF. But they need him when the Great Pornographer Kim-Hung Ill gets involved in the third film called Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, In North Korea.

Yeah I take a break from flying. But I read the manual or any other A-10 related material (Picked up Hogs in the Gulf War today. Four chapters in...) whenever I get the chance. Hog time never ends :P

Easy. Sneak it in while she's asleep but make sure to intercept the truck bringing it, while making GAU-8 noises out loud of course, and keep it in the back of the car.

The F-15C's combat record begs to differ when compared to the Harrier. I win. What's next? Comparing the C-130 to a Tu-144 in a WVR engagement? Not even Top-Gun era sane Tom Cruise could do well in that situation. Put decent pilots on both sides and the Eagle will still come out on top. Why? Because it's a Air-Superiority Fighter. The Harrier isn't. BVR / WVR doesn't matter. The Harrier is meant for ground attack not burning holes in the sky.

During Allied Force the SOP's for AFACS and Strikers changed constantly. But typically, like in Desert Storm, they fly with a 10,000 deck. Occasionally faster jets were allowed to drop below and at one point AFAC Hogs flew at 8,000 if I remember correctly. With PGM's though you can sit above that deck weather permitting. Times change...in Afghanistan there is still the threat of anti-air MANPADS, those "Dushku" or whatever they are called (Russian anti-air gun...or a big machine-gun.) so they probably still fly high depending on the situation. I would just work on the safest way to employ weapons without putting yourself in a bad place. Maybe set a Shilka or something near the targets when you practice.

Go petition the USAF to change the names of their squadrons due to this horrible mishap and see how far you get. :megalol: :D

It's a generalization when someone says they are a "fighter pilot". Because technically the only "fighter pilots" would be flying the F-15C and F-22A. F-18's and 16's would be flown by "multi-role pilots" while the A-10 and F-15E would be flown by "Ground Attack pilots". It's easier to just say fighter pilot.

In the Nevada Theatre I always get FPS lag when flying north (Looking at the map in the editor for example.). But flying in the Crimean it's been very smooth so far except with the occasional FPS freeze (No HDR / AA, 1600x1200 + High textures, medium scenery). Nevada still needs to be fixed up but I tend to fly further south since it doesn't bog me down like up north. Anybody else notice this?

As much as I would love having it by the end of 2010 there still needs to be work done. But I don't mind flying the beta and learning as much as I can in the mean-time. So they can take their time if it gets us a completed and polished Hog.

Hahaha

Is the Su-25t even in existence?

Down in Central Florida it's the same story. They are all over the place even with a perpetual hunting season for boar, warthog, etc. going on. I actually saw a mother and some of her babies at this wildlife management area but I decided it was best to stay clear.

He's just a jealous Frogfoot driver whose trolling. Get along lad and come back when you've killed it with a knife. :megalol:

Felix by choice, Hornet by mandate. ANYTIME BABY!

I can see it now....KGB...I mean FSB Headquarters. Director Vladimir Putin errr Random guy they promoted. *Thick Russian voice* "Ah comrades we have finally discovered what the cockpit of the A-10 looks like. All we need is everything else and we make tanks big and strong like Helenkova." :p

I just familiarize myself with the cockpit and browse through some of the systems but I can't read the PDF in-depth. I'm thinking about printing it out at the college where it's free. But the last time I printed off a flight manual (A-10A) they kind of gave me a strange look. :pilotfly:I prefer flying and reading at the same time though. A hands-on approach always helps and that is one of the biggest reasons why I got into the beta. I can make all of the mistakes and suffer in the early stages so once the final product is out I'll be ready.

I started Falcon late but I really enjoyed it. I've been flying it for around two years but with the Hog you can't make me fly anything else. I might as well uninstall FC2 and Black Shark.

Thanks. When I first took off during a night flight I was surprised to see giant slabs of cheese below me. Are NVG"s in the beta? I haven't tried them out yet.

I thought you knew? 1st stage = Flight, 2nd stage = shoot stuff, third stage = whatever else :p

I haven't flown any missions yet but I've been spending a lot of time at the range with the gun. I set up some convoys, stationary vehicles and a smoke marker out in the desert north of Nellis. My first ever gun-run with the new Hog was perfect. I lined up and pressed down for the first trigger stage. Waited a few more seconds, hands sweating, and let off a quick burst of party mix death. Poor Russian fire truck never saw it coming. And his buddies saw him explode before they heard the rounds coming in. :thumbup:

The mini-stick on my X-52 is FUBAR. I'm going to have switch some of the hats around so I can actually slew. If I change around the hat assignments in the X-52 profiler will it conflict with the ingame LAU settings?

Crash while going zero knots by falling straight into the ground? Hover above a building so small arms can actually hit you? Hover so that you are a better target? :lol: :megalol:

I've been saying it for years. DCS: C-130. Dogfighting in a C130 against a Tu-95, pulling off barrel rolls at 10 knots, flying back to base and drop of the supplies. Interactive cockpit and interior including bathroom breaks, volleyball games and headsets.

So you guys are basically going to go back and forth for the next 50 pages...maybe we could get the biggest thread on the forums. Both of you are wrong because the F-14, piloted by Maverick and Goose, would destroy both because you can't shoot them down and Tom Cruise is IMBA.
