Happens to the best of us, and the reason real pilots spend so long in a sim before getting off the ground.

This is why I hope we get a fighter jet in the next DCS installment.

And this is why I hope it's the F-18.

Well if that take off is what does it for you then rewind 50 years and watch the original vertical-climb-on-take-off!

Sadly, it's not the ideal platform for DCS, take off, refuel, head toward target, refuel, shoot or shadow target, refuel, return.

Now that's how you do it.

Also would be odd flying with the A-10c and Ka-50.

The vertical take off is impressive though.

Here's another video of an F-15 shot from the cockpit:

I know if I were to even think of trying this in the A-10c I'd be a crater. Hell I tried to do a loop when HBB was behind me and only managed to stall.

Apparently the A-10 can do loops, must've just been my inadequacy as a pilot.

Question, I know how to get the stunt markers on my plane, but how do I use them?

I did wonder why you were just hanging in the air before plummeting! Thought it was a glitch or lag, now I know the truth.

Rearm with smoke, then select it in the DSMS and I think just activate trigger, or it may be the alt weapon release. Can't for the life of me remember how to stop it though.

Every week I try a loop but I've just realised why I always get an overspeed warning about 300kts - external stores!!!

On Thursday we'll have to all just select smoke and go for a low-level blast, I was going to suggest a trip further afield like Tblisi as there is a river/gorge to follow most of the way from Batumi, but if someone crashes then they're stuck back at Senaki.

Found a control in the config titled Smoke LCTRL+T haven't tried it out, but it may have something to do with the system.

Rearm with the show loadout, hold mastermode button to switch to AA, press weapon release. (might need to reload dsms)

Also; BORING! Mondays, that is. Launching A-10 server.

* aaand some more. Just me and Herr B for now.

Found out that there is a direct way to input keyboard combinations into CDU/DATA rocker. The Key combinations are LCTRL+LWIN+A-Z for letters and LSHIFT+LCTRL+Num 0-9. LCTRL+LWIN 0-9 is for the data rocker.

Be sure to grab it asap for flight night.

Excellent timing. Are you going to add Ka-50s for Black Shark 2?

Downloading now.

Tried the torrent, one seeder and 34 leechers! Still downloading it so I can make another seed.

Arclight · 11-10-11, 10:11 AM

Same, getting 300+ down though so not bad. Grabbing the full version rather than patch; less peers and I could do with a fresh install.

* and of course saying that dropped it to 30-40...
