Congrats for the release! Glad to see it coming.

[scarecrow398 43]

very nice, cheers for the release.

[lennard 447]

This is great! Thanks for your work and the others.

[dezkit 28]

Amazing. I love your work.

[LSD_Timewarp82 21]

Yeah very nice but i even cant start this bird. I am an Arma"Noob" so what the hell means that "Use Action 20" button :(

Is there a YT Video which shows that setup? ^^

[raptor 6 actual 13]

You're welcome for the help with the ejection seat problem you had at first and the camShake when the GAU fired.

I assume there's a readme (15.7 KB/s, yay), if not I assume it's the usual start up which is batteries, inverter, APU, fuel, if it's accurate, in which case you can find plenty of videos, search on youtube 'how the f*** do I fly this thing is 5 minutes or less'

[keeway 287]

@LSD

Controls -> keybord -> show (scroll down and look for custom controls) -> there is use action 20 over there

Peral I have a request, please do not listen to people who talks things like "make it easier for anyone, just not like ah64". People who has a brain on its place and really wants to fly a10 will easily learn how to handle it. On the other hand I have readen your readme file and I'm happy to hear that you wont make it like in dcs :)

BTW. Awesome work mate !

[LSD_Timewarp82 21]

Yeah i´ve read the readme but my english is not the best and i didnt understand all what the readme is trying to tell me. Good for you when mastering things cause u know them. Sorry i´ve stolen your time.

@LSD

Controls -> keybord -> show (scroll down and look for custom controls) -> there is use action 20 over there

Yeah, i know that but which key for what, i dont get it how this system works

[keeway 287]

@LSD read your pm's I will try to explain you everything :>

[PuFu 4600]

congrats on the release Peral. GJ

[CyclonicTuna 87]

@LSD read your pm's I will try to explain you everything :>

Would you care to share with the thread because I'm having some trouble too :P.

[Phantom 11]

wtf... this is the best jet i ever fly in arma !! wow... :)

[Lala14 135]

Hey Peral!

First of all congrats on the release!

Secondly I'm not sure if you have found this out or if this is only a bug on me but once the plane is in motion all the "Switches" (just the writing not the physical object) will start to move around the cockpit.

I am so far just trying this out in the mission editor so it might be a single player bug??

Anyway just thought I'd mention this.

Good luck!

[CyclonicTuna 87]

Great work Peral! I'm already really enjoying this! The sounds are awesome :D. It took me a while to figure out how to start though, eventually I did. But maybe it would be nice to make a step by step walkthrough once the final release is here. Just for new people.

[ACPL Jon 68]

You rock guys. This is beatiful.

Lemme just:

watch?v=6YMPAH67f4o

[brainslush 13]

Great thing. Love it.

I have a few remarks though :D

I know it's still a first release

First: I guess the speed gauge is broken / wrongish. I easily "overspeed" the plane, which is probably due to Arma using km/h and plane using knots.

Second: Not sure if you have done it b/c of programing reasons, but you connect the AC generators after you started the engines otherwise they won't spin up due to the extra load added by the generators.

Third: Still love it, hope you keep developing it.

[SGT Fuller 856]

Congrats on the release brother

[John Spartan 89]

Nice work Peral and Nixon. Congrats on release, I am glad that this project has made it to public, community needed aircraft of this class in Arma 3.

[Patrick N 15]

How do I flip switches?

[Rages123 10]

i followed the video exactly and the left engine operate switch will not toggle

[darkxess 60]

Hey Peral mind sending me the templates for creating some custom skins please?

Thanks.

[-4th-stabdd 10]

wow! Mate, I got home today from work and did my usual brief troll through emails, and sites and so on... and came across this!

You have done an awesome job on this and I thank you for being a huge asset to the community! This creation has made my (and im sure a heap of others) Arma 3 experience so much better... and its only the first release! bug's or not, you have done a stellar job, and I cant say thank you enough!

The loadout screens are some of the nicest interfaces I have seen in arma 3 so far, maybe the BiDev's can take a leaf out of you're book!!

10/10, 5 stars, how ever you want to rate it, its at the top of my list for mods/addons in arma 3 to date!

Hearing the front gun spool up and fire gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!!!! :coop: !!!!

:cc:

[Phantom 11]

How do I flip switches?

reading the readme ??

u must define user action 20... u find this and all other things that are needed to fly this jet inside the readme !! very good documentation and almost needed !!
