gharness84 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Finally received my first Air Medal just a few moments ago! It was just a quick mission on easy, and most of the targets were taken out by friendlies, BUT I was able to utilize general purpose bombs, LGB's, Mavericks, and the GAU-8 to bag myself 5 kills. I also managed to execute one of my best landings. All the hog was missing when I returned her is weight from fuel/munitions! This is a great day in my virtual fighting career :pilotfly: (I know I'm a newb lol, I just had to brag.) 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _______Spreading peace.

Advicepuppy Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It's funny, I can't start the plane up, but know the weapons systems like the back of my hand. I can line up and kill a target in no time, but if I can't do the right windows key home thing, i'll be on the ramp all day, lol. It must be cool, knowing that if you "found your way" into an A-10 fueled up and ready to go at an AFB, you'd be able to steal it, lol. It would be beyond illegal, but holy crap would it be fun.

hassata Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 You're missing out on one of the best parts-doubly so now that a new sound engine is iminent. Just download a decent checklist-should be cake after learning the avionics. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz13 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 To the OP, congrats! I get incremental victories almost everyday. Good feelings :D It's funny, I can't start the plane up, but know the weapons systems like the back of my hand. I can line up and kill a target in no time, but if I can't do the right windows key home thing, i'll be on the ramp all day, lol. It must be cool, knowing that if you "found your way" into an A-10 fueled up and ready to go at an AFB, you'd be able to steal it, lol. It would be beyond illegal, but holy crap would it be fun. The ramp start was a little overwhelming for me at first. Once you start working on it you'll find it becomes almost simple, 2nd nature. Just print out the startup procedure from Derelor (it's what i use) http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=51701&d=1306005830 His original post with all check lists http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=73178&highlight=derelor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
