I'm easy, if definately a10 tomorrow then either vegas2 or black shark. Vegas will need patching first.

Mkay, so which way are we swinging it then? If DCS, you feel confident enough to take a flight?

Got a FARP set up somewhere in a valley. Fairly long flight, so it would be a good idea to have your trimming down pat. :hmmm:

Right, Ka-50 going up in a moment. Take it from there.

And here comes the pig with wings again.

I'll be there eventually.
:stare:

Oh boy. :roll:

As always, these things start off uneventfull.

Our tanker heads out to take up station.

I had been mucking around for a while, harassing the enemy airfield. Berbunch signs on a bit later and takes off to join me there.

Cluster bombs: if you want to hit more than you're aiming for.

Eventually I took some damage trying to hit some AAA with the Avenger. Just a few holes, but it knocked out a MFCD so I figured I'd bug out and RTB, fuel was running low anyway.

I set her down at homeplate and taxi to a parking. Berbunch had beaten me to homeplate in the usual fashion :O:, so I got to enjoy watching another take-off.

I remember commenting "and I thought I was safe here". Little did I know, those words would ring all the more true not much later.

So I'm repaired, rearmed and refueled and preparing to fire the engines back up, when I hear the scream of a pair of turbofans, getting closer. I figured "just another flyby", and since I was busy I didn't look up. Suddenly the aircraft rocks and ends up leaning right a bit. The master caution was blaring too, and I thought to myself "that must have been a close pass".

When I look up, the T-handle for the left engine is flashing. "Engine fire?" I thought, and looked to my left. First thing I noticed was part on the left wing was gone, with flames gushing out the end of what was left of it. So I lean out a bit and get a look at the engine, realising it has seen better days as well and why the master caution is nagging me.

"The ram attack is the weapon of heroes."

So I jank the pulsing T-handle, discharge a bottle of extinguisher and call my chief over. We agreed a case of beer and some scotch would be sufficient compensation for his troubles.

Just another thursday at Senaki.

Running A-10C for a bit, practice CCIP bombing and perhaps aerial refueling. (sped the tanker up a bit, should be easier to match speed)

Some nice juicy targets, just a shame they're on our side.

Yes, I owe your crew chief and his team a lot of beer and whiskey. At least he still had an airframe to work with, not just vapourised hog :03:

Low is what it's all about. And why hit one thing when you can use a cluster bomb and hit loads!

I might be able to join to the next BS flight night.

P.S. Please put those A-10 images in spoilers. They make my mouse cursor go towards 'buy' button.

What are you waiting for? :o

Buy it ASAP. Join us but ensure you're always behind me, as Arc learnt. :D

Either that or be sure to put those Sidewinders to good use... :D

Mavericks will do in a pinch, but those aren't the easiest to lock onto an aircraft. :hmmm:

I'd love to but my financinal situation doesn't allow me to buy anything 'extra' right now. But I'll promise to buy it ASAP when 'fs' let's me :).

Think they were on sale recently. :hmmm:

Anyway, not planning on stopping to fly these things. No rush.

Then you can read the whole string for the loadouts again. Tried it on my game and it works a treat, no worries.

Yep, and the temptation was terrible but 'fs' stopped me :wah:.

Thanks for that, edited but can't try it until tonight. :DL

@Crécy - I know what you mean, most of the time I'm in that 'fs' boat myself. :cry:

Dear santa,


Ka-50, coming up.

Damn, totally forgot this... Would've joined otherwise.

Some flying and some shooting.

* ah right: remember to patch to 1.0.0.9 and make the tweak for the comms menu again. think they made it a bit wider by default again now but it's still cut off near the end.

** I see... seems that tweak will need to be updated.

Got a friend just downloading it A-10 from Steam as I type, am I ok to pass on the MP details so he can join us later and make me look less of a noob. :D

Sure, more the merrier. It's just semi-private.

Ooh, look at you, with yer fancy-smancy award thingy. :salute:
