Very cool addon!

It has nice speed, so you can do some amazing flight manouver with it.

But, did you forget to adjust the "rudder steering"?

That must be what I'm experience and trying to turn on a dime. Would that be right?

Very nice though. I might actually succeed in converting a mission to use this addon. smile_o.gif

Forgive my ignorance again but what are the 5 weapons systems onboard?

DSL_GAU8

DSL_AGM65Launcher6

DSL_ZuniLauncher

DSL_AIM9Launcher2

DSL_MK82Launcher

Please keep perfecting this addon. And I hope someone gets serious about making some good A10 missions to enjoy this with! mad_o.gifwink_o.gif

Awsome, the new model and textures are precious, not to mention the loadout and everything else wow_o.gif .

Only did a quick test, noticed it has missing ejecting seat but overall top quality, loved the animated engines, great job, thank you smile_o.gif .

"starts OPF to hunt down some armor..."

Maybe you misunderstood. I read the ReadMe. That's where I copied and pasted the weapon names from.

My question is actually twofold:

1. what does each weapon name above correspond to in the HUD when playing?

2. What is each weapon for (AA/AT, etc.)?

Thanks. Are there any in-game lethality differences between the Hydras and the Mavericks? When would you use one over the other in OFP?

And what are their differences in real life?

current Chair Force regs do not allow artwork on aircraft, thanks to politicaly incorrectness can't have nose art on any airforce aircraft other than ones that are grandfathered, having art on the before the regulation. Once the aircraft is repainted they have to cover over the noseart. They get around this rule by putting the artwork on the back side of the access panels on the aircraft.

Or taking really good care of the pain job on their aircraft. which is amasing seeing most of them were painted on over 25 years ago.

The Shark teeth and hogs tusks went out in the late 80s.

Is it possible to have the GAU pointing a lit bit lower, im not sure but i recall thats how it is on the real thing rock.gif Would help alot in air to ground atack without loosing so much altitude, or is this another OPF engine limitation?

Ok ya, the sound of the tires when we touch down is a great detail, i love this plane, hope improvement work continues smile_o.gif .

the airframe is built arond the cannon, and pointed directly forwards having watched them bore sight the aircraft on the local airbase. In reallife the Guns recoil can stall the aircraft if held too long. Also the cannon smoke can choke the engines aswell. Standard attack on ground targets is first launch maverecks at a distance, climb and strafe targets from above using the gain in airspeed to lessen engine stall risk. Then duck back behind the any hills or mountains aviable to avoid targeting from surviving gunners. While your wing man makes his attack run on the remaing forces.

It would be handy if somebody release some kind of reference on where, when, and how to use and apply weapons in OFP.

A air academy for fixed and rotating wing would be really nice in OFP. Some kind of clan where you get your pilots qualifications before you go to play to your selected clan or squad.

Nice addon, I'm downloading now.

Regards.

OFP - an educational experience! smile_o.gif

Hydras are unguided and Mavericks are guided.

The Hydras are more of a multirrole weapon, suitable for personal aswell as armour, more light armour than heavy armour, that's where the Mavericks comes in.

I'm not saying all this cos I know, I just readed somewhere, but its only from another topic, so if the guy who pposted it got it wrong so do I biggrin_o.gif

@CERO.

EDIT: BTW, this addon supose to be 10 megabytes? cos I only have a 180Kb file call DSL_a10.pbo plus the readme wow_o.gif

Yes and I just saw them behave in-game exactly as you described them.

One more "problem" I noticed with the plane. Crash it into the ground and the explosions and smoke dammage effects are almost not there. It just crumples up quietly and dies.

At least with the gray version but I assume it's the same with the green.

Well, its a beta afterall, but i just experienced a CTD using the grey one too, didnt happen right away, it took a while (7minuts aprox).

I was also using some other addons at the time (vitapc pack BMP3 and ZU-23M's) but i never experienced any CTD's with those, im still not sure if it was the A10's fault or not sad_o.gif .
