TZeer Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 After a few years of absence from flight sims, I thought it was time to get back into it again. Former Longbow 2, EEAH/EECH, Falcon 4, Janes F/A-18 player. I`m impressed by the complexity of this sim! And the graphics are beautiful. Currently just trying familiarize myself with the cockpit and different gadgets. Also have a few questions. - Did a multiplayer session with a friend of mine. During a LGB drop, my bomb didn't hit the target I was lasing. But a target by friend had his laser on. I was set up for auto lase on, with lasing 10 sec before impact. He had his laser on all the time. Was it due to similar lasercodes that my bomb tracked his laser instead of mine? If multiple people are dropping LGB`s, do you need to change laser code then? Does this apply when flying with AI planes as well? - TAD, how often do you fly with the map enabled? Is there some stuff I have missed that the map can be useful for? I have been in one circumstance where the map was helpful. A mission where I was operating close to the russian border, and I could not cross it. - Multiplayer community, where do I go to join up with fellow A-10 pilots who are willing to teach a rookie the more complex way of using the A-10 systems? Thanks! 1

jeffyd123 Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Hi Tzeer, 1 - Not sure on this... LGBs are tricky for me. I do however always manually lase (on after release... off after impact) and have found it works well. You can burn out the laser if you forget to turn it off though. My reason for manual lasing is if there are high winds it seems to me that letting the bomb follow the beam all the way makes it have to manuever less than an autolase. 2 - I leave my TAD map off most of the time unless Im looking for details for valleys or runways. 3 - I joined these guys and they are very good. http://firstfighterwing.com/joomla/ enjoy the sim! its superb,,, i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor

TZeer Posted July 18, 2011 Author Posted July 18, 2011 Wow, great welcome :) I'm currently at work, so will be another week until I can get into the A-10 again. In the meantime I have just ordered a Trackir5, upgrading from my old trackir4, and a set of saitek pro combat rudders. Hopefully it will be waiting in the post-office when I return back home. Looking forward to fly with you all.
