Yeah I understand where you're coming from, but it seems counter productive in a way. I don't know if Hog pilots have to do this for real, but why can't you just paint a target with the laser and drop a bomb(within a specific distance from the target of course) and have it fly to it's target?

Is there ever going to be a "hard copy" of A-10 produced; meaning an actual disc(DVD) like BS & LOFC 2?

So what ever happened to being able to fly and train over Nevada? I'm obviously out of the loop. Also a question about LGBs and the SPI; So what I'm getting is that you cannot in any way, shape, or form drop an LGB, or any other bomb in CCRP mode if there is not an SPI/waypoint on the target? Is this correct? If so, I don't understand why you can't just pick a random target somewhere and drop a LGB on it.

It sounds like the SPI is my problem, I'mma need to go back for some remedial training.

I just set up some random targets out in a clearing to practice doing gun runs and bomb runs on. I figured that I could just target a tank or a bunker out some where and bomb it. I'm using the LITENING pod to locate and lock my targets.

Okay sounds good, but I've noticed that the azimuth steering line only appears when I'm heading toward a waypoint. Is this part of the equation?

I pretty much have the A-10C covered as far as all the basic operations and employing it in combat, which is good enough for me. There are two things that I still cannot figure out; how two deploy air brakes and how to get my azimuth steering line to appear when using LGBs. I've read through all the info. and I've seen all of the videos, but they don't really speak to it, it's just already there. A hand up please.

I keep attempting to download the 1.1.0.7 patch and every time that I click the link, it just returns me to DCS: A-10 "purchase" page. Any suggestions?

The final release is out, awesome! So how does this work? If we had the full beta version before what do we need to do? Do we uninstall it and download all the new files from the site or what?

So I've discovered that I can't access the Nevada missions. When I do the sim. crashes, well it says that A-10C Warthog has stopped working. Has anyone else had this problem? Also I have the CH 568 Combatstick; I've never had a problem with the rolling throttle on the base of the stick. It works well with LO 2.0 and BS, but A-10 doesn't recognize it for some reason. Has anyone else had problems with this? This is the only throttle that I have until I can get my stand alone throttle.

I tweaked some things, it works now.

So when is the final product going to be out? I just saw that beta 5 is going to be out soon. I want to get this sim. but I don't want to have to keep downloading new versions of this. How different is the final product from the beta versions? how does this work?

So, can anyone out there tell me why the Vikhrs missile flies a spiral trajectory to its target? I've heard that it's because it only has one servo to control its fins, I've also heard that it has something to do with the way that the seeker was designed. I've researched this thing for a while and can't find an answer.

I've got a mod that allows me to carry laser guided bombs on the A-10. Well, they look pretty and all, but I don't know how to drop them, much less paint a target, as the A-10 doesn't carry a laser designator. WTF?! Any suggestions?

Yeah, you're right about that. The only way around that is to set up missions and campaigns, kind of like Borberro said. I guess it would be like flying an A-10 around and just hoping that you over fly a couple of tanks. But if you were traveling with a convoy or supporting armor, or even laying in wait because intelligence designated an area as a known flight path for enemy aircraft, then you got a good sim.

Figures. A lot of people have been waiting for a new mechwarrior to be released. Now its in the works and someone has got to go and screw it up.

You all know what we really need is a very well done AAA simulator. A simulator where you could operate various U.S., NATO, and Russian made anti-aircraft systems; everything from the Gepard, Vulcan, Shilka, and Tunguska, all the way up to the fixed positions such as the Patriot and the S-300 and everything in between. There have been a lot of ground and sea warfare games and sims. and many, many flight sims., but I don't recall any AAA sims. If you could find a good software developer that would invest the time and research it would take to produce such a sim., I think it would be a nice addition and a lot of fun.

Hey thanks, it worked. Sorry to hear about your video card. I was surprised that I couldn't edit any campaign that I wanted, like the campaigns that come with the sim.

I'm still fairly new to this whole thing, sorry. I can't find what you're talking about.

Is it possible to some how edit one of the missions, or campaigns when they are secure so that you can choose the options that you like, or pick your own load outs etc.? And if so, how?

I figured it out. Disregard please. Some how I turned off electrical power to the cockpit.

I've been playing Flaming Cliffs for a few years now and I've never encountered this problem until now; I've specifically encountered this problem while playing the Su-25 campaign. For some reason while I'm in flight various controls cease to work. For example; the landing gear and flaps will quit working, the throttle will not work, I can't switch between modes(A2A, A2G, nav.). Its like the sim. is no longer receiving commands from my keyboard. But it can't be my keyboard that's the problem, because it works fine on other games and I'm typing this post right now. So far I'm not sure if this problem is occurring on the other aircraft. Its only been the Su-25 campaign. I've reinstalled the sim. 4 or 5 times. I don't know what to do. Any info. would be good.
