Wow, very nice. Fun flight to follow on Google Maps. :) Also, interestingly this seems like it's a 2000C, I didn't know France still flew the old school Cs (only 1 MFD, like our version).

Alright, thanks for the update. Hopefully that'll be in place in time for BD's upcoming A-10C training campaign. Might wait until then to get back in the office. :)

Have the devs acknowledged this as a bug? Clearly thermal imaging is not working properly.

I haven't flown the A-10 for a while, but I wanted to know: has the TGP issue been resolved in the last few months? By this, I mean the issue where it's practically impossible to spot vehicles in IR using the TGP (particularly in mission 3)? I know Dragon suggested installing a mod to enhance the contrast, but is this still necessary?

What's scary is that one of the main reasons they went for the 18 was its twin engines... F-35 is single engine. Heck, I remember reading "Viper Pilot", where in between french jokes the author mentions how Viper training constantly stressed and practiced flame-out landings... something which came in handy in actual flight several times in his career. Now imagine doing this off of an aircraft carrier, how many airframes would this have cost the Navy? I wonder how the Navy is calculating its wastage rate for single-engined F-35s? They have GOT to be considering a significantly higher rate than the twin-engined F-18, no?

It's good to know I'm not alone in this. I was flying the third mission yesterday (the first combat patrol mission), and ended up having to use labels in order to find the enemy... and even then it was very difficult to spot them on the TGP. Looking forward to this bug being fixed, as there's no way this is realistic, at least based on footage I've seen.

Very nice, sounds great. Any chance we can get a comparison to your A-10 campaign, concerning size? Will it be comparable? :)

I have a question: Is BalticDragon going to be making the campaign included with the module, or a separate DLC campaign for the M2000? Either way, I'm excited to hear Baltic is doing a M2000 campaign, as his A-10C one is excellent.

Very very nice. Loving it. :) In other news, disconnecting FBW during supersonic flight is a BAD IDEA. Just saying.

Is there any chance that we could get a preview of what is being planned for the campaign? I'm primarily a SP user, so campaigns are a big deal for me. :)

Quick everyone, to your Bescherelles! Must conjugate those radio commands properly! :)

Well, for one thing, adding CATOBAR to a carrier is in fact a massive investment (the gear is massively complex and high maintenance), hence why the RN is avoiding it. That said, I would agree that adding a VTOL version is responsible for a lot of problems with the F-35. How you can accomplish that on the same airframe is highly impressive (but I can only imagine the massive tradeoffs that necessitated).

It's possible to get the EGI aligned while in flight? Where is that option?

I believe there are two main reasons for that: 1- The Ka-50 does not have a gunner, which is why we see its design much more focused on being a long range "sniper": all its weapon systems are forward facing and generally encourage finding a nice spot to hit at long range from, rather than "wade in". 2- The current mount tends to be more accurate than turret mounts (well, not sure if that's true as of today, mind you), which again seems to follow the above design philosophy. Of course, the Ka-52 still uses the side mount AND has a gunner, so maybe I'm full of it. :p

Looking forward to it. Now... where's that A-10 manual... :)
