I know, I've been trying to do that, but I admit I've cheated a few times because I like the Litening a little better

I've never seen any significant adverse yaw due to roll with the gear down, so I suspect that means the FCS cancels it out with rudder by itself. If that's the case, why would you use any additional rudder?

Aaaah, ok, that's a neat trick, thanks

Wait, what's waypoint 58?

The only thing I'd add is that because you're slightly below (and therefore outside) the turn of the tanker, your bank angle will be a tiny bit less than the tanker's. Definitely less of an issue than with boom tanking, where you're significantly below the tanker

IIRC if the plane thinks you won't make it to the HOME waypoint on the FPAS page, it'll also set off a caution when you advance the throttle

I can't say this behavior accurate, but it's interesting that the NATOPS suggests below 5deg AOA and above Mach 0.6 is an area where the Hornet is more vulnerable to out-of-control flight. I read that as excessive stick at low AOA could result in significant adverse (opposite) yaw, but I don't know if adverse roll with excessive rudder would follow Or it could just be a coincidence

FWIW in ESET, I needed to make an exclusion for both the DCS World folder and the bin-mt folder. IOTW, folder exclusions don't seem to apply to their subfolders, moronically enough.

IIRC, the bindings are in Settings->Adjust Controls->A-10CII->Cockpit Views and are something like "Move Camera Foreword/Left/Right/Aft/Up/Down". I believe the default key commands are RCtrl-RShift+Numpad (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

A screen capture of your axes assignment page would go a loooooong way to clarifying what you're describing. For that matter, a brief track recording would also clarify what the original problem actually is and is trivial to do.

Technically, it's your plane so you can use either Notso said DIRECT is more practical, since you can release at any time

Not only is that a great step, but that's a great attitude you have, and it inspired me to put some effort into trying to learn something new today. Congrats!

Also, a quick sanity check, I think I've noticed that there's a bit of a delay getting the goggles on/off (maybe due to the animations). If you press the goggle button again before it turns on, it'll turn right back off, so spamming the goggle button will actually keep it from turning on.

To add more fuel to the fire, there have been aircraft the have pitch control for the prop, rather than a propeller governor controller, so it's not for someone to conflate pitch control with prop control. Come to think of it, the Me-109 was one of them, IIRC.

It's also a good analogy for your hardware not being the culprit. After all, people are able to drive in traffic in junkers with no power and limp-wristed steering wheels that have a mile of play. But it would certainly be more enjoyable in a nicer car

Stop futzing around with the trim. Hornet auto-trims to 1G. At least until you mess with it. Now you have a plane that trims to 1.05G, which is not helpful for really anything. You don't maintain altitude by getting the trim dialed in. You maintain altitude by constantly bumping the nose up and down with the stick. It's like balancing a baseball bat on your hand--if you try to do it by getting the bat perfectly vertical so you don't have to move your hand, you will fail. You do it by constantly moving your hand around under the bat, and as you get better, those motions get smaller (but never to zero).

I'd also add that turning away from the sun isn't really an immediate option for the WSO Another option that might be worth considering in general is attaching a lighting shade to the mouse cursor.

That turbine RPM looks a little low, I thought idle was 60-65%? May not have been a normal start for whatever reason

Open beta? 'Stable' version had a non-working radar

Nope. you almost certainly have another axis or button that is double-bound to the throttle controls

I assume by IR/night pod, you mean the navigation pod? The one that projects the FLIR image on the HUD and I think also houses the TF radar? I'm a little confused as why that would have anything to do with the targeting pod

The late release is simply due to the bomb unit's relatively high drag. The CBU-97 submunitions are very affected by wind

More so to point out that even if your radar is not notched, the target may be in the missile's notch filter

If you're okay with compromises, why not just an A-B-(C) switch, where C is momentary, and just use the B as ON and C as RESET?
