Yeah, but that's such a mouth full.

Pre-drift racing variant.

We had a nice take-off in close formation on the 2nd sortie, but the track goes haywire if you watch PGM being released from external view (only for your aircraft though, other clients are fine. Speeding up time might help to screw it up. Anyway). Managed to grab those before that, but missing some really good stuff.

Yeah, speeding up the track might cause it go out of sync. It's kinda like in Silent Hunter; too large TC and stuff fails to keep up.

Task Force and I played a DCS:BS combat mission yesterday which is quite good.

it's called Pandora's Box but the mission is in Spanish, I'll try to translate the best I can and send it to you Arc.

thought there's a minor issue with spawning it seems you can't spawn more then 1 Kamov on the same carrier unless you want to have instant KABLOOIE!

so one has to wait spawning untill the other has taken off.
is that fixable?

anyway the mission has 2 objectives,

Main Objective is a small port with some ships and soft ground targets, the secondary is search & destroy a enemy Farp
enemy air targets to be expected thought.

If there's an airfield nearby, one option would be to just move the take off point there. Should be a simple click & drag job.

But yeah, would be nice to try something different for a chance.

Well there are groups of kamovs listed taking off from different locations...total of 4 are taking of from 2 carriers, the others on remote helopads/bases I presume.

I think this mission would be excellent to try to fly in couples of 2 (leader & wingmen) and see if we can coordinate with the rest to attack an objective from multiple locations.

Sounds good to me!

Just a little something to keep the groundcrew out of trouble!

Reheat? Who put reheat on an A-10?

Hopefully some debris hit the guys who fired the missile!

Arclight doing what Arclight did best.

Another three taken out with one cluster bomb!

Arclight did sustain some damage, just a few holes and a missing wingtip.

Oh, and a shredded tyre.

What a game (sim), if anybody is in doubt about getting it then don't be!

Arclight · 04-21-11, 08:55 PM

Wasn't aware of the shredded tire: she veered off the runway the moment it touched down.

Berbunch joins me on terra firma.

DCS A-10C: Truckbuster, GAU-8/A FTW Edition.

Just doing the flying thing with Berbunch:

This again. Damn you, MWS! You too, RWR.

edit: oh right: most I got with 1 cluster bomb was 2 tanks. The run where I hit 3 was with 2 bombs delivered.

Off-topic but I must express my awe. Darn those cockpits are detailed in A-10!
