Flying bs on fc2 servers was really the same as playing sp. I have no idea where the fighters are until I get hit with a missile. I fly low and as hidden as possible but at some point they get me. Would be the same with a10. Can't see enemy unless they are close but a10 is much easier to pickup on radar than a low slow bs I would think. I wish the servers were as populated as il2. I find it hard to join a squad because I do not have a regular flight schedule. It's whenever I have a chance to fly I do. But my skills are usually well below any squad member since I do not have dedicated practice time to become proficient with all the systems. Still don't know how to use datalink in bs. I was able to set up a flight plan from a carrier deck once though. That felt good.

Someone taugh that bird a lesson. I have a simple a2a mission against a mi24 and su25 and the damn hind gets me before I can even see him. I even cheat with f10 and can still not see him yet he is already firing 4 missiles at me. I have been able to avoid a couple but they always get me in the end. Similar story with su25. Not sure what missiles I equiped it with but he always gets his off the rail before my sidewinder.

IRL you employ from safest position. So if no air threats are around stay above you targets reach. If you have friendlies in the area you need to be in close some times.
-
Look in the HOTAS section of the controls list.
-
Wow, lucky opportunity to be that close to that many hogs. That had to be an amazing event.
-
Not the greatest rocket flare but good starting point. Though I have never seen a rocket that close. Would think it might be a bit less perfect and would surely light the plane a bit.

Make sure the the altitude switch thingy on the right panel is in the down position.
-
Guided munitions will only launch when launch variables are met. Could use the manual release (jettison stores) button though. Not sure on you accuracy though. I have tried when my jet gets shot to pieces but have not hit anytthing yet.
-
Yes but you will be flying a non radar hog for a couple years and forget all your fancy radar stuffs and be a sitting duck when dcs fighter is released. Then you will be mine. :) if I can figure out how to shoot a missile by then.

Wow I want those samsung and I don't have the mfd even. Are those USB video or from the video card? Is lua scripting necessary to make them work I assume.

From what I read employing fc2 weapons is much easier than BS or a10. So to be in the same arena it's not fair for the no talent cherry picking fighter jets to pick on the more talented and realistic bs and wh drivers. :) << poking fun. when fighter jocks actually have to use a real radar they are welcome to come hunting for me.

Rtm helps but also confuses me more sometimes. Seems to be in different language sometimes. :) nice to get a succinct few step, easy guide, to walk through the procedure sometimes.

Gbu12 is smart bomb use ccrp. Grab a gbu32 for ccip. Fly towards target at 20-30 angle keeping pipper on target. When reticule moves up to pipper drop bomb.
-
Nice one for sure. Hate when it ends up over a switch when viewing around and tool tip pops up. Could turn off tips but not yet for sure.
-
Does autopilot path hold a climb angle? I have been trying to find a way to climb at 15* without holding the stick.

I was going to pick these up but what screens are used for inside the frames?

Beta A10c damage screens danger to 56k

What is the procedure when losing a wing? I tried hitting the emergency trim to level the plane but did not really do anything. I flew as long as I could with just lots of side stick pressure. -
Yeah, I had similar problem last night. Flew a successful mission with mavs and jdams and went back to watch it and I flew into the ground halfway through the mission. :huh: Time to download and start using FRAPS I guess.

I have managed to fly around a bit with half a wing like that, but I have always lost the engine on that side as well so no chance of making back to base. A10 is supposed to be able to fly on 1 engine, but I can not get it to. Well i usually have half a wing missing too so not sure if that is hurting the air flow. :) Turn off your fuel pumps on that side and you extinguish the flame. At least you jettisoned all your stores. -
See the little triangles around the reticule? Those are the max min distance marks. You can release anytime between those. In your pic the unwinding hash mark scale is at about the 11 oclock position. Not sure if you have already overflown though, probably. When you line up, the min/max should spread to a wider window. Then as you close in the scale will unwind toward those two marks and when it gets between them, the HUD will change to "Man Rel" or something under where it says m/gbu38 on the left. Meaning weapon is ready for release. Hold the release till its gone and then hit F6 to watch it drop. That is from my short memory so read the chapter also.

WTF is mach tuck?
-
That is simply amazing. How adjustable is the cockpit frame? I have a g940 and using a center stick like the A10 setup, the frame has a small disc for center stick. How can that work? Would I need to make something to work? How much is just the frame?

Scared G940 user - too many hat switches!

when you go to the add screen simply click the button you wish, then click the modifier you wish. The command will be listed as the button+modifier in the controls list. -

I am using the ingame controls, not the logitech. How do I program the axis? Or how do you do the zone assignment? -
Same thing that has brought windows down on each new release. Users demand legacy. Check OSX 10.5. Does not work on older PowerPC apples, only the intel generation. I would love to get FC2 to fly other jets, but being low quality, and based on 7 years old software, I have no urge to spend the amount of money needed. I do not want the new DCS modules to have to sacrifice so they can be compatible with FC2. I think they made BS compatible with FC2 as a stop gap. I have plenty of fun playing on BS only servers though, but some people want to use the BS as target practice flying their M-29s. Same people that complain that the AI is not challenging enough and would rather fly against humans. Of course hitting a blind BS from 10 miles is the same as shooting a building. Same awareness of the threat and about the same speed. Bring on the new. No more Air Quake compatibility. ;)
