Hi guys, Just wondering, does anybody have a syllabus guide for the A-10 B course? ie, something that lays out all the training missions? I'm NOT asking for any classified stuff or tactics, merely a list of what gets covered on the training flights during conversion onto the jet. There is a real world document available for the AV8B training syllabus with very detailed information about ALL the simulator sessions, all the real training flights and a big section with tips and tricks how to operate the jet. This is in addition to all the NATOPS manuals. Needless to say this is amazing. I have also been able to find an old document detailing the syllabus for the F-16 B course. The Basic Employment Manual is also contains a lot of fantastic unclassified information. So I was curious, with the A-10 module being so detailed and most complete. Is anybody aware of any document that shows what the training flights are like?

Hi guys, Is there any fuel planning software/app or excel sheet available that you know of? I have looked but didn't find any other than the one for the A10 and F18. I mainly looking for one for the AV8B but if there is one that I can modify accordingly that could be a workaround. What I'm looking for is something that will calculate how much fuel the jet will use for climb/cruise fuel use per mile (or any other method of calculating fuel use) and descent. Bingo, joker or tiger calculators would be cool too.

Hi guys, For the past few weeks I have been busy coding the LUA files whilst building my VR AV8B home cockpit. I have shared these with Razbam and hopefully they will implement them at some point. In case this doesn't happen I would like to share these with you. I am not an expert coder by any means, so it may not be perfect but it works. The main additions are for the joystick lua file but add the coding to the keyboard lua file if you wish to use keyboard key combinations for a switch position (mainly OFF positions). I use RS Mapper to enable a switch to function in the OFF position. For example, a 2 way stich has an ON and OFF position. In DCS you can only trigger an instruction in the ON position. With RS Mapper I have assigned a keyboard command to when the switch is moved to the OFF position. This keyboard command effectively gives me 2 inputs with 1 switch. The POKEYS software can also code this if you are making a home cockpit with one of their cards. So, in general I have not added keyboard coding for every switch/button, but usually they would have the option to assign a keyboard command for the OFF position (or the center position if it's a 3 position switch). The only knob I can not get coded correctly is the BINGO fuel one, if anybody has this coded please share. So here is what I have done to the lua file: The first section is JOYSTICK SWITCH ABSTRACTIONS: I added this to enable the Antiskid test function to also work and switch back to ON. {down = fcs_commands.Switch_ANTISKID, up = fcs_commands.Switch_ANTISKID, cockpit_device_id=devices.FLIGHTCONTROLS, value_down=1.0, value_up=0.5, name = _('Anti-Skid TEST else ON'), category = _('Joystick Switch Abstractions')}, I added these for the FLAP POWER SWITCH & the LANDING LIGHT SWITCH: {down = fcs_commands.Handle_PARKING_BRAKE, up = fcs_commands.Handle_PARKING_BRAKE, cockpit_device_id=devices.FLIGHTCONTROLS, value_down=1.0, value_up=0.0, name = _('Parking Brake Lever OFF else ON'), category = _('Joystick Switch Abstractions')}, {down = fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_PWR, up = fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_RESET, cockpit_device_id=devices.VREST, value_down=1.0, value_up=0.5, name = _('Flaps Power RESET else ON'), category = _('Joystick Switch Abstractions')}, {down = fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_PWR, up = fcs_commands.Switch_FLAP_PWR, cockpit_device_id=devices.VREST, value_down=0.0, value_up=0.5, name = _('Flaps Power OFF else ON'), category = _('Joystick Switch Abstractions')}, {down = ext_light_commands.Switch_LANDING_LT, up = ext_light_commands.Switch_LANDING_LT, cockpit_device_id = devices.LTEXT, value_down = 1,0, value_up=0.5, name = _('Landing Light APP else HVR'), category = _('Joystick Switch Abstractions')}, {down = ext_light_commands.Switch_LANDING_LT, up = ext_light_commands.Switch_LANDING_LT, cockpit_device_id = devices.LTEXT, value_down = 0,0, value_up=0.5, name = _('Landing Light OFF else HVR'), category = _('Joystick Switch Abstractions')}, MASTER MODES -

Ah ok, thanks for explaining that. I thought he was asking about waypoint or TCN offsets.

I have the same issue in the Normandy map but there the track is always indicating 10 degr left of your heading, no matter what the wind is. It's got nothing to do with if TRUE is boxed or not. Creating a separate bug report.

Hmmm, got a weird bug when this mod is in my tech folder. I can not add vehicles in the mission editor. Really weird, you click on the tank icon to add a vehicle, you click on the map but nothing happens. No idea why. Any thoughts?

Yeah, just read that. That's a pretty good statement, haha. What I meant to say is the measurements are from the real thing, accurate within 1 or 2 mm.

Can I be a total pain and ask for an even bigger pad? The total size should be 67 x 67 mtrs, if that's easy to do? If not, 60x60 (so double in size) is cool too.

I have the LUA coding to fix this if you want them?

Quick service! Thanks, so is that 30 x 30 m for the whole pad, including the grey checkered bit?

So the pad (the grey checkered bit) should be 67 x 67 meters (220 ft x 220 ft) and the inner yellow square should be 30 x 30 meters (100 ft x 100 ft). Please let me know if you need any more info or a picture with the dimensions on it. Again, many thanks for this. Do you mind if I share it with fellow Harrier pilots?

Would you mind? I would really appreciate it. I can get you the exact measurements, one sec

Hey guys, I've been trying for several says now to get a rotary encoder to work with the Bingo dial but it just won't work. I think it's because the knob is coded as a "default_axis_cycle" and I think you need a specific phrase like "IcommandplaneBingoSetInc" as a command but I don't know what the phrase is. Does anybody have a clue how to get this knob coded?

Hi guys, has anybody been able to get the BINGO knob to work with any key binding? The one mentioned above doesnt work.

I was thinking of changing the default_axis_cycle to a normal pushbutton function, and changing the part "380, 0, 0.01, false)" to end with false, true. Do you know if editing the lua is going to create a lot of problems or is it just like editing the joystick/keyboard lua? EDIT: tried it...and the effect was that I could not rotate the dial with the mouse in the cockpit.

i just tried the mod and it's awesome! I'm trying to use it for the AV8B and hovering at 50 ft above it's hard to see the pad marking, is there any coding I can change to make the pad larger? say around 50% larger?

LEGEND!!!!! Thank you so much!

The bingo works fine with the mouse scroll wheel for me. I have messaged the main coder of Razbam to ask for help. Hopefully we can get it fixed.

Do you think that this problem could be fixed by editing the clickabledata.lua file?

I also have problems with the RCS volume and channel selector. Can not use a rotary encoder with them at all. I think it's the coding.

Is anyone here able to create markings like these vertical landing pads? I'm just looking after the markings, it doesn't have to be functioning like the marston pad (able to place on grass etc). I just need the markings to overlay on a revetment or concrete area. The 476th VFW created Field carrier landing practice markings to overlay on a normal runway so I was wondering if something like this is possible for VL pads?

Hmmm, strange one. So with the rotary encoder, value of 1 does that mean changing the Bingo fuel from 0000 to 0100 , 0200, 0300 etc etc? Because that is how it should be.

Guys, a very kind soul has shared the exact measurements of the UFC (not including the master caution/warning rows). Its approx 136x142 mm .
