  1. At the very bottom of the page "Language / Theme / Privacy Policy / Contact Us". Click on Theme and you will have your night mode
  2. +1. Oscillations got worse the longer I let itself try to work.
  3. Have you checked your "AA/Charges" FBW config switch? In "Charges" you're limited to 5.5G's iirc. AA config is only for air-to-air loadout (2 S530D and 2 magics) with an empty or no center external fuel tank. You should be able to pull 9G's in this mode.
  4. One of these mousepads is not like the others. All are flyable except this one... EDIT: BIGNEWY confirmed this is not the secret project. :(
  5. I have the same issue. Nothing happens after landing back on the farp after destroying the mortar team. Waiting indefinitely for the wounded to be loaded. I'm on the latest open beta.
  6. I'd be interested as well, a framed version like the TM MFD's.
  7. Quick update: Graduated and commissioned on the 18th. Drove to Pensacola NAS for my CSO training. I don't officially start until after I spend a month in Colorado learning how to fly and a couple days back in Pensacola for water survival training. We get to watch the blue angels practice everyday. Pretty neat. T6's are all over the place with the current trainees and they're stupidly fast for a prop.
  8. More specifically, each page the MFD's can display.
  9. TD 46. 24 days left until graduation. 4 days until the lower class arrives. We've reached phase 3 status which means we can now go off base on the weekends and drink (woohoo!). But for this weekend, we have temporary phase 4 which lets us wear civilian clothes anywhere but on the campus. Freedom. Anywho, we've got advo briefs coming up and I'm briefing on keeping the A-10 warthog past 2028. I don't have access to my sim computer 1000 miles away so I'm asking the community to provide me screenshots of cockpit differences between the A-10a and A-10c.
  10. Some pictures of the high ropes course and our last community service project.
  11. The upperclass graduated on the 2nd. Here is their class video. Shows a little of what we do here
  12. TD-17 (upperclassmen graduated today and were commissioned, we now run the place) We were promoted to "Phase 2" on monday after a 6 mile formation run to all the historical markers on base. At the end of the run, the upper class were lined on the side of the roads in front of the last marker cheering us on. We had a little ceremony and were awarded our "Prop & Wings". Phase 2 means we don't have to brace walls for upperclassmen or commissioned staff in hallways. We are now referred to as sir/mam instead of OT (officer trainee). We now access to the rest of the base by walking unless we have special approval to use our cars. We can also skip saturday night dinner and all sunday meals to eat somewhere else on base. Days are long, weeks are fast. Only 45 days left...or 47 days? I've lost count. 4 hours of sleep a night is really taking its toll.
  13. Currently on training day 11 (TD11). 55 days left to go. Lots of screaming, being told to run around, pushups, sleepy lectures, yada yada. In my flight of 14, we have a USAF TACP and CCT. (google em). These guys are hardcore. Honored to be working along side them for our commissions.
  14. A thread should be started similar to the one started for the P-51. "First takeoff and landings"
  15. Got my class date! I'll be reporting in on April 9th. @Sierra99 - Nope, not enlisted. I thought about it after 4 years of JROTC in high school but went to go college instead. The mudhens are high on my list but anything can happen.
  16. Thanks for the support everyone. My flight physical was finally approved. I should get a class date this month according to my recruiter. It's now been over a year since I started the process! Anywho, I bought myself a hotas warthog to hold me over until I leave. :joystick:
  17. I guess I'm still a little confused on the use of the Hot Air lever. If/when carburetor icing is modeled, wouldn't you just leave it in the rammed position since the hot air door automatically opens if icing is detected? And what do you do if you are flying over 12000ft and you detect icing? Immediately fly out of the icing layer I assume?
  18. Yes it does take a long time. I started my application (pages upon pages of work history/accomplishments/background check/education/financial/medical/letters of recommendations etc) in January 2012. Took the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) in March. Did the basic physical and Test of Basic Aviation Skills (TBAS) in April. Had an interview with my recruiters commander in May. Finally finished my application package in late May and submitted it for the September Rated (Flying Only) Board. Got accepted in September and went to MEPS a few more times for more paperwork and to sign my contract (minimum 6 years after training so around 8 years). And now after the flight physical...wait for it to get approved and get a class date. I guess I should be used to all the waiting but the realization that I'll be changing my life in just a couple of months is starting to hit.
  19. Got the flight physical completed today. Almost passed out from 7 vials of blood being drawn. I don't think it would have been so bad if they didn't make me fast 12 hours prior. But I passed with flying colors! :thumbup: Now I just wait to get my class date for OTS.

  21. One step closer. Got sworn in after fixing paperwork for 15+ hours. Flight physical scheduled for december. :pilotfly:
