First time in decided to do quick fly on a10, looked very pretty

Did an external view and decided to drop a flare and chaff blamo pc rebooted.

Ces you got a ti4800 (ti4200 with agp8x support right?)

You tried this and did it happen? If not what version of dets you running??? Think its defo gfx related.

[Cesium]

ok i had this but it was only when i crashed the plane.
First off ensure u installed Directx 0.9b, i didnt (dunno why) so i reinstalled the game, made sure it was installed and got the LATEST graphics driver for me card.
Scaled down the graphics and worked my way back up tweaking it as i went. And now it looks great

[McMav]

sorted with det 53.03's

Now to test other games aint screwed up :/

[Lowe]

Other games? Pah, LOMAC'll eat your life mate.

Mine works with all games but then I've got a proper graphics card.

[McMav]

STFU

I'll have a proper one soon enough :E
Looked at training missions

really handy would be more so if they showed the right keys to press

Took ages to get the forgfoots engines started for a trial take off.

and the A-10 is so easy to fly just need to get the weapons sorted the mavericks seem to be loked onto target them miss :/

Need to do weapons training me thinks.

Right Mavericks need explaining.

There's a bug with them at the moment, not to do with locking on mind... When you go to the loadout screen the one's listed as "TV" guided are the IR ones and vice versa. Hopefully this will be sorted soon.

Anyways, locking stuff up with Mavericks....

• It's easiest to zoom into the HUD and put the designator in the rough area of the target.
• Next, look down to the TV display. Use the cursor and line up the target.
• Arm the seeker head by pressing TAB. This does NOT indicate a locked up target. All you've done is arm the seeker head which is now scanning the centre of the crosshair for a target.
• After 5 seconds or so the crosshairs will "jump" and centre up whatever it finds as a target. The small cross in the TV screen which shows you where the seeker is pointing will start to flash.
• This is your cue to fire, turn 180 degrees and press F6.

Try that - you should get 100% ratios now.

Aha I was assumiung hitting TAB was locking it onto the target. D'oh

I shall hit that BMP-2 now

And the A-10 flys like an IL2

[Lowe]

Someone say A10?

[Jonny M]

A10s aren't planes. They are like wings bolted onto a huge gun.

Andy Bush I believe is an ex A10 Jock

[McMav]

bah looks like I have to turn details down as it froze as i switched on light in A10 on runway external view. Its ok if I aint in external view switch on then turn to external. Still delish game. Roll on more powerful gfx and a format and reinstall of OS. Been to long on this install.

Nice track.

The Mig-29 is my favourite plane in the way of looks (in lo-mac )
Its alright in combat an all, soars into the sky like a rocket - as u can see in skii track

[McMav]

Warning messages aint that accurate I found.

Flying over and a sam hits me up the bum. Warning Engine fire was the message so I popped to external view and there were no engines it had broke me a-10 in half Wish I had screenied it. I still bailed and lived though.
