meh who needs autopilots in jets...never really needed them much, since jets are quite simple to fly...(airliners etc are a different matter) blackshark though...yeah autopilot rocks lol

yeah as far as the new sound engine in FC 2...it seems to run so much smoother than BS...unless its just BS' complexity that inherently makes it consume more resources... looking forward to the patch for FC and BS!!! not sure if I'll fly the ka-50 or switch over to something like the frogfoot or warthog

lol ...steam gauges... on top of that Im pretty sure the pit is all russian...doublelol actually I might like this...the simplified way to fly ;) Quite interesting to fly a multi-jet sim again...get to compare and contrast all the different jets both US and russian...kinda like a more advanced Janes ATF hehe...nice job ED!

at the cost of sounding stupid cause I looked into this for a few moments... where's the HUD on the Su-25? am I missing something? *EDIT* nevermind I guess its a very limited hud...for only basic weapon reticles and such...assuming gotta use the old fashion way of using the instruments

lol this would be great for a dynamic campaign where keeping your pilot alive matters... you could infiltrate the enemy base on foot and then it turns into bad company 2

oh yeah it did, I posted this in the bug thread but forgot to mention that here... you are correct one can't fire a maverick like that so I created 2 weapon release buttons...kinda a pain but I just pinkie clutched the fire button for mavericks... its a temporary solution but I can live with it...I realize that with so many aircraft in lockon that ED models we're gonna get quirks here and there. As long as it now works more as intended I'm cool with it.

ok last update gonna have to macro two versions of weapon release because mavericks wont fire with that quick sequence...

ok I figured it out...its all in the way you program your buttons...you need to go into advanced commends if you own a x52 and program in the press window the ralt-space VERY quickly...tap it you should have a .100 delay on the space release this way you can release a pair of rockets!...not sure if this could affect anything else but dropping bombs there was no delay after pressing weapon release not sure either if you can group more rockets or maybe just go with salvo mode (not tried that yet) but now you can easily release the least amount of rockets every time you fire

I agree FC2 is pretty awesome...trying to get a friend to get it so I can get a lil multiplayer going...def wanna join a squadron at some point

thanks man Ill check out the track... I tried many combos of presses and holds on the saitek software...I think found one that shot 4 rockets only I'm not sure I quite understand 'Weapons Release' to single keypress with Hold modifier...would you hold ralt and place the space key on single press without release? *EDIT* ok I figured it out...its all in the way you program your buttons...you need to go into advanced commends if you own a x52 and program in the press window the ralt-space VERY quickly...tap it you should have a .100 delay on the space release this way you can release a pair of rockets!...not sure if this could affect anything else but dropping bombs there was no delay after pressing weapon release not sure either if you can group more rockets or maybe just go with salvo mode (not tried that yet) but now you can easily release the least amount of rockets every time you fire

I posted this in a thread but the rockets release from the A-10 is EXTREMELY sensitive and causes you to lose your entire load instantly... I heard others have this issue...what's the deal? I'd like to fire a moderate or pick the number of rockets I fire

I don't think ANY of us on this forum community would ever think its just yanking around a joystick...but could we make an educated case on how to fly a glider? yeah I think so...hitting wind thermals on what surfaces, mountains, how to glide and gain/lose altitude etc. at least we have the idea down right? and your analogy of everyone would then be a pilot if they could fly BS is flawed... seeing as what it actually takes to become a pilot requires years and dedication from your life. case in point I was seriously thinking about being a pilot rather than going fully into the music business, could I have been a pilot? I think so on some level, I'm a good student and obviously I love flight sims since I was 4-6 years old. but many things including location of schools, life etc...made me stick with music. hell everyone with computers and usb/firewire can record their own music, but does everyone succeed or do great? some do and some don't but the majority DESPITE being awesome songwriters/bands never get signed and make money...just like many could be great pilots and don't become pilots.

NOT TRUE....every time I die in Blackshark I actually purposely tilt back in my chair and fall to the ground sometimes injuring myself with a cut and bruise or more severely...just to simulate the real thing PS Falcon1906 is da man...I nominate him for president of ED

YES...it does feel like the A-10 is an arcade...I told my friend who's weary of sims to get FC2.0 just cause the warthog is soooo easy to fly lol...it feels like I'm playing Sega's Afterburner or something...either that or I must be an expert pilot ;0 no complaints here...it's fn fun now...if not being a bit easy to mow down everything in its path

hehe yeah what Havoc said, Im just yanking yer chain bro...but seriously now I have a similar issue in FC 2.0... when firing rockets it appears its extremely sensitive and fires your entire salvo leaving you with no rockets left...some others confirmed this to be an issue but I'd like to know if anyone else has issues firing small quantities of hydra rockets rather than 2 trillion blowing all your ammo.
