15K??? What are you smokin'? This is a HAWG we're driving not some F-16! ;) I'm trying to keep my max alt at 1500 AGL if at all possible, and it's a bitch. I can't wait until we have the full version to play with and have different levels of cover - Hogs down low, F-16 or whatever mid, and whatever else above that! Like I said, I'm just learning this modern warfare so I have a lot of schooling in store, that's fer sure...

HAHA - Lesson learned already with regard to the helos. One flight, I thought I was clear of threats on the other side of the hills, BLAMMO git nailed by a KA-50 that followed us over the ridgeline! I'm digging out my Falcon 4 manual to study up on modern weapon systems! ;)

Excellent info as usual! I'm just learning the modern battlefield environment, so I have a LOT to learn compared to the relatively tame WW2-type environment I'm used to flying. This particular situation I'm facing is incredibly tough considering it has Shilkas, Tunguskas AND Rolands in a valley...with KA-50s flying escort! Don't know if you've tried this particular mission, since you probably don't fly the demo. It's Bone's Kamenka Mission 4. I've been trying to utilize my wingman - but he tends to git crazy and go in balls to the wall on the KA-50s and gits shot down! :( I've been using the terrain to my advantage as much as possible. I just need a LOT more practice evading these missiles. Thanks for the lesson! :D

Hey MrMUDD! I was just reading your replies over in the beaming thread, and I was wondering if you have any hints for A-10 drivers going against the mobile SAMS like the Roland ADS and Tunguska 2C6M! Thanks in advance - check's in the mail, etc... :P Here's how my A-10 usually looks after I go SAM hunting: :o

No problem man - I LOVE MAVERICKS! I'm using my old Ti200 card just so I can see the video on 'em! hahahaha :o

I have tried the Demo with both ATi and nVidia video cards. The ATi 9600 Pro and my trusty old GeForce 3 Ti 200. The ATi shows the display like you describe. When you lock up a target with the Mavs, you SHOULD be able to see 4 little dots on the display where the target is located. It's just a glitch in the graphics programming since everything else about the Mavs works fine. There was a REASON they didn't include the Mavericks in the demo... I customized the Sevastopol CAS mission to load up some AGM-65D. The only problem is there are no textures for these missiles in the demo so you can't see them on the plane! But they still work fine - the ultimate stealth technology! Grab it here: Sevastopol CAS2 with AGM-65D

When you switch to Mavs, your display should change automagically, no need for any key pushing until you want to lock a target up. It also depends what video card you use(ATI shows black, nvidia has COLORS!): AGM-65D - UNZOOMED AGM-65D - ZOOMED

Here's a little movie I made of my Bridge Bustin' A-10: Bridge Bustin' A-10 You'll probably need Windows Media Player 9 for it to work. I'd hate to see the look on the train engineers face when he sees that!

Also, there are MORE than just that one boat - try to find one that MOVES! It's smaller than the one shown here. :D

That's why I stick with the good old A-10! hehehe Have you guys tried the mission with a couple armoured columns and 4 KA-50 Helos? Great fun, and no sea under ya! ;)

Excellent! :D Keep up the great work MrMudd! - Beta
