Perfect, more reason not to use them.

I like night sorties.
Tho, the NVG in Ka-50 is highly superior to the one in A-10C IMHO. (prolly just don't know how to adjust it ) |

I don't know either! Can't find any wiki/tutorial on it. Any ideas anyone?

It's not adjustable, like the real thing.

Turn down HUD brightness, horizontal rocker switch, bottom-left of UFC (marke 'INTEN' iirc). Also a switch for night mode bit below master arm etc switches.

Ended up redoing controls again, and A-10 won't start. Weird thing is it does start right after patching, using the 'start Warthog now' option. Prolly some NTFS permission trouble, but I can't figure it out (fresh copy of Windows with new hardware).

Right, seeded 45 Gigs (24+ patches), best stop now before the boss realises our network traffic is through the roof.
It might be okay in your Ka-50s flying 2 kts at 10 feet, but the AA stuff now is a bit more annoying for the Hog drivers! Pretty much always something lighting up the RWR display, and an annoying beeping in my ears (I know, could've turned it down). Half my chaff gone before I'd even got to Sukhumi. And in low level investigations I couldn't see a thing! Apart from the bridge, every week, always a bridge. Not complaining though, but one day really, really should RTFM.

^ Take altitude and use your optics to your advantage.
The TGP, while fully zoomed (you can press 'V' for even more zoom) and with FLIR can easily spot targets from 20+ miles (they're miles, right?). |

Never take the TGP, it's not in my preferred load-out of CBU-87s and 42 rockets! I think they're for 'ground-saturation' rather then 'targeting'.

Yes well, that doesn't really work with an Osa on station. Which has been there from day-1 btw, nothing new about it. In fact, nothing I added will even show up on RWR, by all accounts they are rather minor threats.
What you are experiencing is the lack of other pilots clearing your path. We, down in the Ka-50, kinda needed someone to deal with the air defences. All it takes is 1 or 2 Mavericks per target area. And yet we still had to do it all on our own. 2 Ka-50s did last night what 4-5 hogs can't or barely manage normally. No offense, but there's just something wrong with that.

There was only the two of you, and you'd cleared Sukhumi before I'd even arrived there! (Well done, by the way) The RWR has never kicked off until I've got to 'that place' before, now I even get a warning when I'm in the HAS starting up!

From the F-16s? Don't think you have to worry about that. Other than those, there's a EWR and SAM at first target, and that Osa at the second. Also another EWR at the SAM battery. Nothing else uses radar in the scenario... oh, the Shilkas, but only when you're in range and they are tracking you.
I know you joined late, just peculiar that over the course of the evening the A-10 proved bloody useless.

Don't think it was the F-16s, although I wasn't looking at 12,000'. It was fixed direction.
Ah well, I'll find out again next week And try to be less useless/on time.
