  1. I always add alot of steering input. The A-10 is quite susceptible to cross wind effect, etc.
  2. Ive never built a mission but am a programmer. I assume since they dont start moving, future triggers which are based on position don’t occur and thus the progress is hung? Q1) is there a workaround for this behaviour? Any F10 options or anything I can do in the mission editor? Q2) even if there is a mission editor based fix, can I do that in a campaign mission? Id like to keep the campaign going but afaik its a complete scrub right now.
  3. Flying stone shield for a little light fun. Got to mission 4, en route got the message ending in “don't attack the bmp until I say so”... then nothing for 45 minutes. Found and blew up the bmp anyway, no affect, mission fail. I watched an old fly through on youtube and didnt see anything obvious to trigger the next event. Any advice, or is this a bug?
  4. Off the top of my head, conditions which will prevent release: - not being accurate enough with the drop cue, keep your fpm in the drop line. - not being stable enough at time if release. Try for 1G and no roll. - being too low. Try to be 10,000’ agl at least, ideally 12,000. Any more that Im forgetting?
  5. Im not aware of such functionality. You can get msg from jtac that way, so the aircraft supports the messages Ive just never been aware of a way to send them from F10 view.
  6. Im 100% speculating, but the new drm algorithms might look suspiciously like ransomware. Its likely a false positive match by the av software.
  7. I dont know that exact mission, but in a similar csar mission in the maple flags campaign, there was a trigger to auto-kill the helos if you let the helo arrive before completing radio comms validation of the pilot. I watched the tac view and realized the infantry getting the kill just appear out of nowhere. Try making sure you are responding to radio calls and following any instructions from the briefing.
  8. Im personally not that interested int he animation, but a better experience would be cool. Access to an emegency radio while in the silk would be great for multiplayer realism. Estimated recovery result based on where you eject. Captured by enemy? Recovered by friendly?
  9. There have been ils bugs in Caucasus since 2.5 so I can’t confirm anything specific, but it’s conceivable.
  10. Haha. “ close air support... just not TOO close”
  11. I had a wingy in recent multiplayer who had good fps with the new pit, died, checked external view, respawned and from that moment forward had horrible fps. Was 45-50 before and 15-20 after.
  12. They shouldn't be hard to hit. Are you doing a “proper” roll in or pop-up technique? Having a steeper dive angle should make it simpler to target (but things will happen faster!).
  13. Do you have zoom bound to some axis, button or track ir? Its pretty much essential for visual acquisition? I think the unit is always to the left of the label, but I haven't used labels much. If you have enough time, you can use the hud as soi, set spi near the smoke, then slave tgp to that point and look around. Learning the “how” in the hawg is a daunting task, but also just the tip of the ice berg. Choosing the right tactics and then employing them in realtime is challenging, but skills do accumulate. Consider the red flag training campaign. Invaluable skill building tool.
  14. Infantry definitely do show up in the tgp, but they are small so you'll have to be close to the right area and zoomed in. Gun is definitely the best way to deal with infantry. If you have sa on the site just go visual gun run. Do you have a jtac in the mission?
  15. Did you have any luck?
  16. Just as a possible perspective, I remember all the feelings like this when I came from allied force/F-16 where everything was crisp and automated. Flying the A-10 felt like piloting a canoe! I really enjoyed the challenge, and will say after much practice it does become subconscious to manage all the nuances. Its not an easy bird to fly, so I enjoy the added challenge of just doing a simple departure and route work. Keeps it fun and rewarding, for me at least!
  17. Fair but I think we are getting tied up in nomenclature. Even our “suite 3” is not fully equivalent to air force suite 3. So arguably any “systems” upgrade is a suite upgrade in dcs terms. I do want a systems upgrade but that could be anything from trivial performance tweaks or fuses up to iff, payloads, datalink, hmcs, etc.
  18. I find the discussions fun and its so great to see such an active A-10 community still. My top reason for wanting some more details about the systems upgrades is to temper expectations. For me its hmcs in some form. I don’t EXPECT it, but some of these comments are increasing hope and until we get some news I am just terrified that a paid module l thats 90% visual is going to disappoint so many. Not because its not awesome but just because the expectations were allowed to creep up too high.
  19. This reminds me of when everyone complained that full screen night vision got “taken away”. ED has made the sim more sim. More realistic. If you want easy to fly, go play hawx or ace combat. If the community continues to hammer ED for attempting a change, they will take the path of least resistance and stop even trying to improve existing modules. Nobody has ever claimed this sim is being built to be accessible. Get head tracking, and learn to look around the pit. Its realistic, and challenging.
  20. I do have an epic monitor and that alone does make everything visible. Dim? Sure but definitely readable. Have you tried cranking up gamma? Will almost certainly fix the pit but might then washout exteriors.
  21. I have to weigh in on team “nothing is wrong”. I have the warthog and am constantly trimming to the point its subconscious. I just flick the trim though, don’t hold it and wait foe the response. Just brush the tip of it lightly, wait and repeat.
  22. Finally installed the update. I didn't notice any change in fps. I run effectively 4k, so usually 50-60fps and never below 35 which is similar to before. Will also say the flood illumination was easily adequate to see on my monitor.
  23. You are looking for a monitor export configuration. If you expert your mfcds elsewhere, they will not show up on the main monitor during hud only view. I have a pit and fly 99% in hud only
  24. Preferences aside, this much of a hit needs to be made a clear bug for ED. Knowing the hornet cockpit which is also new gen model does not have the fps hit associated means this is not simply an issue of more complexity impacting mid&low end machines, something is wrong.
  25. I would love to hear more feedback to confirm or deny this. I am A-10 only with a custom pit, so Im kinda committed but Im terrified to take the update based on feedback like this. ED forced it, acknowledges some issues (hud), but left no path to a resolution. Scary!!
