    jaylw314's post in Flaps Emergency Retract won't retract the flaps when flaps are in DN position was marked as the answer   
    If we have the same one, yes.  I've been misreading it, it says the wind blows the flap TO 15 degrees, not UP 15 degrees, so that does match what we're seeing 😁

    jaylw314's post in Did the flight model for the A-10C get changed? was marked as the answer   
    Hmm, now I have a sneaking suspicion it was from updating my joystick firmware, but I don't know how that could be but it still looks ok.  All the curves and responses on the axis tuners still look ok, it's very strange.  Thanks for the info guys!
    Update: Yes, it was indeed the joystick firmware update.  Recalibration fixed it, even though it looked fine on all the visual scales <shrug>

    jaylw314's post in Question about motor starts. was marked as the answer   
    The normal automatic start sequence starts fuel flow once the engine starts rotating, so I suspect the answer is no.

    jaylw314's post in Question about windmill starts was marked as the answer   
    You turn bleed air off because it feeds off the engine compressor, causing drag.  That can actually slow down the engine acceleration during a windmill start.  Also why you put the throttle at max and use IGN, because the automatic start sequence when you put the throttle to idle includes opening up the bleed air valve (to the air turbine starter).  Bleed air off = faster engine acceleration
    You turn crossfeed on so that both fuel pumps (each powered by one engine) can feed fuel to both.  Nice if the other engine is still running.  If both are out, and you're having to do a manual reversion dive to windmill the engines, it will allow either engine the best chance of lighting ASAP, in case one isn't working (you're also having a very bad day).  Otherwise the left engine would have the advantage since it has the DC fuel pump for backup (why you start the left engine first on the ground).

    jaylw314's post in A-10C Bomb Fall Line in CCIP (seems) impossible to center in HUD was marked as the answer   
    Hard to tell, but it sounds like you might be dealing with wind correction from the LASTE.  In a crosswind, a correctly placed fall line or CCRP ASL will not be in the middle.  It will be close to the TVV, but not exactly on it either.

    jaylw314's post in CCIP GUN CROSS OCCULT was marked as the answer   
    I haven't tested it out, but here is a thread on this question.  The gist of it is that the "CCIP GUN CROSS OCCULT" ONLy affects the gun cross in CCIP Master Mode, not GUNS Master Mode.  The GUNS reticle and gun cross always occlude symbology, but in CCIP mode, the gun cross will not occlude symbology if the setting is set to OFF.
