Think that's a typo Snack. Definitely those keys move the designated sensor cursor - i.e. whichever sensor you have selected (in game parlance, Sensor Of Interest or SOI), which includes the Mav seeker, the Targeting pod and/or the cursor on your tactical map display (called TAD) in the left MFD, these keys will move that particular sensor's field of view or the cursor acros the map to select a position.
As for trims, I suspect perhaps the quick manual has a typo and forgotten to put a modifier (shift, Cntrl Alt) as prefix to those contorls but can't be sure; I've changed mine from default to be the keyboard cursor keys. They're defaulted to be used as flight control input, but my opinion is that if you have a joystick, then you don't need the cursor keys to fly the plane!

Hi chaps, will quite happily run through LGB procedure tonight - it's not too complicted, just a few key steps to remember, and if you get those right, it's a doddle.
Indeed, once you master the Litening pod, you can use it for picking targets for everything, including Mavericks, which means you won't have to close to within the potential engagement range of any air defences and can quite happily pop targets from stand off distances - not quite as adrenaline fuelling as a head-to-head with a Tunguska maybe, but your far better for life insurance premiums believe me!

Roger that Snacko.
BTW, you know that there is a startup cheat key that lets the AI do the procedure for you? Once in game just hit Right Windows + Home and 4 mins later you're ready to roll.

Ditto Snacko.
However, it can be worth aquainting yourself with as some servers seem only to have that as an option and it gave me heart that Jedi got going in a matter of minutes just now; a lot of it is just practise, tedious though it maybe.
As it goes, I'd much rather be spending my time figuring out the best strategem to take out that Platoon of T-72s without getting my ass blown off by MANPADS, Shilkas or SA-9s, than cursing my poor memory over the startup procedure, so sympathise I do!

See you round 2030 DZT if that's cool with you chaps?

Specifically addressed to Jedi, Bongo and Capt. Jack but extended to any breatheren who like to strap into the Warthog and put depleted uranium on target, I'd like to investigate this beasty some more and get online to boot.
I propose an evening (DZ Time, naturally) where we investigate the online ettiquette (I have no ideas on what the form is, if it's co-op or DF seperate like Il-2 or something more fluid) and also swap any knowledge on how to get to grips with the vast avionics procedures. I for one am comfortable with getting rid of any weapon on the aircraft and making sure it lands somewhere near a bad guy, so will be happy to enlighten anybody whose having trouble with that particular hurdle.
Currently, Sundays or Mondays are the only times I can gaurantee attendence, though this coming Friday (4th Nov) might be an option.
Come one come all, the more the merrier!

Well, after a harddrive inspired hiatus, I never got round to reinstalling A-10C. However, today that changed, and, by jove, what a bit of kit it is! Despite the million odd button combos just to turn on the AirCon (which I still haven't found; or the seat butt massager either for that matter) I finally completed an instant action with all weapons on targets, and all targets smited with liberal doses of high explosive, with even an RTB to boot. Smug and satisfied!
Some screenies for your delectation:

Consider any visit to Duxford an automatic 'HELL YES!' from my corner.

And available on iPlayer for those with permissions. Apologies to our non-UK Dogz if you don't have access.

Wow did you hear that engine noise? No wonder Olegs stock sounds all sounded like lawn mowers if that's the example he went by!
-
Seen at the September airshow at Duxford but did not fly. That has changed!
Here you go. Enjoy!

Whoot!
And thats my final statement on the matter.
As for short block Griffon, indeed, exactly the same difference as between the Merlin in the Mk V vs. the Mk IX, so it is with the Griffons of the XII and XIV - the two stage supercharger and more to the point the necessary intercooler all add to the powerplants length.

..... but even I got tingly nice sensations from the sight and sound of this display.
The pilot certainly seems to be enjoting himself, and putting on a dynamic display to boot!

Two more entries added to 1st post!

From an innocuous Ubizoo post to caterwallin at some drunken fellow geeks in a Cambridge hotel, Jim I hold you entirely responsible!
Thankyou for responding to my tentative questions on SEOW those years back.
Thankyou for your gregarious attitude to the timid interloper.
Thankyou for asking "So when you gonna put 'DD' in front of your name and get rid of theat bloody [bD], Fen?!"
Thankyou for your hours and hours of hosting for all of our pleasure.
Thanks for the laughs and the introduction to a company of fellows whom I feel privileged to know.
Thanks for the endless times I've stayed up a bit too late just shooting the breeze.
Thanks for reminding a cynical young man that there are still gentlemen out there with heart, courage and determination. It's an example I shall endeavour to emulate.
Jim it's been an honour and a pleasure. My warmest and sincerest regards to you, Sir.
Tom

Different Skyraider involved in the collsion than the one who dodged the Spits.

My only concession to the Spad pilot is that it might be that BBD was hidden behind his canopy framing until the last moment and he was looking the wrong way when it appeared. Can happen. Lord knows I've lost enough bandits and friendlies behind the framing even with 6DoF.

Balls. That was the most clear and consistent video of the lot.

At my father's since he's got a chum with one of the oojamathingy gadjets that resets sensors - we'll see if it clears the fault. If not? Well.... ££££££££
Fun.

Finally!
Do have a wander round and by all means help yourself to a
