There is a difference in installing into Program Files. Old ED products (FC 2.0, BS) used config files located directly in installation folder. And windows prohibits modification of Program Files by any other user than admin, so you had to run FC 2.0 and BS with adming rights when they were installed in program files. AFAIK DCS A10 uses the documents&settings to store config.

Incredible :)

Heading AP channel?

You can also check the mission editor, if the mission doesn't have some failures set-up.

You can watch the training vids on youtube (they were non-interactive). You can also watch the producer notes which are, imho, much better then the training vids.

+1 Thanks :)

64bit vs 32bit conflict? The A-10C is an 64bit app (unless you have 32bit os, and have installed the 32bit version), and the old trackir sw is 32bit. They will not work together.

32bit, for now. Next machine will be 64bit

But where they looking at the same thing (same place on the ground)? Because looking on the ground takes much less gpu power then looking over the horizont (boresighted)

Was both the maverick and TGP looking at the same thing? Or was TGP stabilized on ground and maverick boresighted?

I love how cockpit gets censored :D

Nice one :)

But you have to pay for the ability, no sane company will give you the ability to download yours products from their servers for free. They are not charity. My guess is that comming into agreement in "we will sell only some stuff through steam (read, valve will get money only from fraction of sales), but all will be able to download from steam (read, also those who didn't payed to valve will be able to use their services)" is harder then "only those who will buy through steam (paying valve), will be able to use steam servers for download)" If ED didn't come to agreement in the later, then its naivne to think, that they would come into agreement in the former.

They cannot sell steam-keys without agreement with Valve.

Imho, weak graphic card, and I don't like the 450Watt power source eather. edit: another thing I don't like is that it has four memory sticks, instead of two, making additional memory upgrade problematic.

I'm flying BS for about 1,5 year, and I still feel I have much to learn. I think, it will be the same with A10 after 1,5 year of flying. The skill cieling in these sims is extremly high.

Maybe a wild shot, but could you try to turn HDR off?

It's about not all submunition exploding on impact, and staing active way after the conflict ended. When you have cluster bomb with 150submunitions (RBK-250-275 AO-1Š), then the propability of failure for some of the bomblets is pretty high.

np... these forums are here for help ;)

Depends highly on ROE. In Kosovo they weren't allowed to fire anything in close proximities to villages. Also when gun straffing, they had to be sure that riochet bullets would not hit any village. My guess would be that conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan will not have such strict rules, especially when you are supporting ground troops in villages.

If you have labels enabled in options, then you can turn them on and off via lshift+F10

I've modified my lables to only show a small dark ~ symbol (looks more like a square in game) for ground and air units, so no magic missiles spoting with labels, and I find navy targets to be well visible from afar. Air units labels are vissible from 30km away, while ground from only 10km away. And I use the same color for both red and blue coalition. You can give them a try if you want. I personaly turn them off at start of every mission and only turn them on rarely. Labels.zip

The AI can pull out some sick, unrealistic, manevuers with their choppers. I was once shot down by a Ka50 while I was oveflying it. the Shark did a 90 degree tail dive to aim it cannon at me. For my experience in BS, there is no way to pull that off (diving, while aiming and locking your skhval on a target overflying you at 200+ knots). The same way I once saw a Hind shred a F15C flight. They F15C used all their missiles on Migs and failed misserable in using their cannons againts the hinds.

You only need to activate each sim once, no matter how many patches you install. You don't have to deactivate/activate to install patches, nor do you need to deactivate when reinstalling the sims (as the activation is kept stored in the registry). The only time you need to deactivate is when you're doing a complete OS reinstall.

also some Quad damage would be nice
