PAPADOC FLYING A-10...wishing it was Pink hehe

[papadoc]

Wow the sim is amazing! The models are beautiful, the flight models amazing and sheesh it is just so cool to see how far sims have come since Su-27 Flanker...I remember wondering how long it would be before we could see genuine curves in our planes and we now have the answer. Sexy curves everywhere you look...hehe.

 

Question does the Maverick not allow you to lock onto neutral or friendlies? Set up a mission to learn how to use the system and could not get it to lock onto Tankers. Probably operator error but I did manage to lock up some Russian Tanks.

 

Can you reload weapons if you land at a friendly base?

 

Thanks a bunch for any help.

I have had no issue accidentally destroying friendlies with mavericks. Make sure your you've selected your missiles on the MFCD. If you've set your TGP to a target, slave all sensors (thus mav is as well) to your target. Once you get within range, short TMS up w/ Mav MFCD set as SOI & it'll lock. Launch. Watch target go boom :D

 

To rearm - Land, Open Cockpit and with VHF AM on correct channel setting (should be already if you contacted ATC for your landing) - Call ground crew to rearm/refuel.

Also make sure the mavs have time to warm up. Takes 3 minutes.

PapaDoc, You were one of the great 'oracles' of flight sims back in the very early days. Good to see you are well, and getting back into simulation. Yes indeed the world has changed since those days.

If they aren't warmed up, there is no image on the screen yet.

Amazing damage model...

 

Compared to my last experiences in sims this sim is a dream.

Amazing feeling of flight

Amazing damage model love the way the A-10 yaws when I manage to get an engine shot out...which I manage to do quite a lot...usually right before I lawndart.

Amazing AI...guns only and the AI is using the sun to keep me at bay.

I suspect I won't have to complain about unrealistic missile modeling these days which will make everything that much more fun.

 

Course we are still stuck with the itsy bitsy planes...hehehe. Jus kidding Wags.

This question brings me back memories of one of my multiplayer games, when we supposed to support friendly convoy. After one or two hours we had almost cleared their way, but I got another JTAC request... and I mistakenly got those friendlies for enemies. Killed half of them with mavericks and almost lose the round :doh:.

 

So yes, you can shoot friendlies :music_whistling:
