Problems with Vanilla Su-25 speed

[Stratos]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or missing something, but is possible to set an auto-throttle for the Vanilla Su-25? So the plane never slows down of my designated spped until I turn off the auto-throttle? I find really challenging to hit something in the Su-25, now imagine controlling the speed of the toad.

So is possible? and if possible, how please?

Thanks a lot

I'm not sure I understand your request - you basically want a speedholding autopilot?

[Boberro]

99.9% it is not possible ;]

I know of one way, but it would involve programming/scripting knowledge and be a bit of a cheat. :P (LUA export plus keypress generator, basically.)

 

Better to just keep practicing in my opinion.

I'm 100% sure you can't use auto-throttle in the SU-25 :P:thumbup:

 

 

Edit

That's the best part about the SU-25, you actually have to fly the thing. Well that and you always have a seat during online play because nobody likes it.

ARGH Man now I'm really toasted as this thing lost speed as hell. Any tip?

[EtherealN]

It would help if you had a track or could describe the situation - otherwise the most helpful tip you are likely to get is "increase throttle when speed decreases"... :P

Stop flying combat and start flying - learn to fly and turn your Su-25.

 

Practice making turns without losing speed, and then you will become used to pulling the correct amount of g without even looking at what you are doing.

Yeah, it flies like a truck. Makes so much difference to LO A-10 witch is arcade really.

Wish fast jets would have AFM. Gotta wait few years for DCS fast moving module.

 

Su-25 uses so little fuel that it will be easier just to go full throttle and trying to slow it down while diving, than trying to maintain speed.

Trimming is extremely important to keep up speed in the toad.
