kylekatarn720 Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 hello fellas, 1)im having some trouble using gun/pac. Im probably doing something wrong but i cant figure it out so here it is, every mission i play i do everything exactly the same way but half the time Pac system doesnt stabilize my pipper. i always use tgp to set spi on target before i attack. once the spi is set, i turn to the target and start diving, set master arm on, set gun pac switch to up position, put the pipper on target and fire. i got hotas warthog stick so i have a 2 stage trigger and first stage is for pac second stage is for firing as u guys know. anyway like i said half the time pac doesnt stabilize the pipper. i dont know if u guys can figure the problem out with the information i gave. if u cant figure it out, i would appriciate some tips about using Pac. Like how you are using it and what i should or shouldnt do while the gun/pac is on. 2)i cant use cbu s properly. cant hit anything with them. sometimes i cant even spot the blast area. long story short i suck at cbu s. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be really great. 3)i have both the standalone 1.5.something beta and the steam version. I generally play with the steam version cos i started with that and my logbook progress and campaign progress s are on that.anyway on the steam version tgp slew rate is way slower than the standalone version. And i cant change the slew rate on maverick. i mean i can input what i want in there but i dont think it works. I cant think of any problems that i experience right now other than these. Thank you for your time and sorry for my english if something is wrong in there.

For PAC-1: are you sure your airbrakes are not open, not even a little bit? If they are, PAC-1 will not kick in.

If they are, PAC-1 will not kick in. oh i didnt know that. that really could be the reason. but i dont remember reading somethin like that in the manual. im gonna try it out tonight. thats probably it though i use airbrakes alot and dont really pay attention to them. thanks man:)
Yurgon Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 If someone can point me in the right direction it would be really great. I think these two videos about CBUs are fantastic, but of course there are many more great videos and tutorials out there. DCS A10 CBU-97 in Depth by MrTurbine777 On the Range #6 - Demystifying the CBU in the DCS: A-10C Warthog by Bunyap anyway on the steam version tgp slew rate is way slower than the standalone version. And i cant change the slew rate on maverick. i mean i can input what i want in there but i dont think it works. I don't think I ever heard about that problem. Anyway, I'd try to repair both installations. For the Steam version, I think it's right click on game title -> properties -> Verify Integrity Of Game Cache or some such For the 1.5 standard installation, it's Start -> All programs -> Eagle Dynamics -> DCS World -> Repair DCS World But maybe someone else knows more about this particular problem and can give you more specific pointers. oh i didnt know that. that really could be the reason. but i dont remember reading somethin like that in the manual. im gonna try it out tonight. thats probably it though i use airbrakes alot and dont really pay attention to them. thanks man:) The A-10 is really slow as it is. If you do a good attack, you shouldn't even come close to going too fast (as in: exceeding the aircraft's structural limits). And you'll want to maintain all the airspeed you can get, because under-powered as it is, the A-10 won't give you much power to get out of a dangerous situation. You really need to preserve as much energy as you can. Long story short, you shouldn't need to use the airbrakes during an attack run. There are also many great videos and tutorials on attack runs and how to set them up. :thumbup:
kylekatarn720 Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 @Yurgon first off all thanks for the reply^^. about the tgp problem, i already did the repair thing didnt change anything. let me put it this way, did you play the operation piercing fury campaign? there was a mission in which fob suse is under attack and there are some prisoners who escaped suse. a helicopter picks them up somewhere south of suse and you need to watch that helicopter see where it goes and destroy it after it lands. in the steam version i always lose sight of the helicopter cos he is moving faster than i can slew my tgp but in the standalone version i have no problem tracking it with the tgp cos i can slew faster than that helicopter. I always try to keep my speed around 200 knots while doing an attack run. I didnt think about this matter much, i guess i was just trying to maximize the time i have to aim accurately. But ill look into it and learn the right way to do it. One last question im having some problem with circling an area properly. i usually keep drifting away from the area im trying to circle while looking for targets. Do you know any charts that i can look up for this ? like a slant range-turn rate chart which says something like " to circle around a point on your 90°-270° line you need a turn rate of X-degrees when you are Y-km s away from target.
