That is IF your stick has a 2-stage trigger. My old G940 did, my new X56 does not. 
I’ve tried mapping it to another button but it’s not working reflexively like the trigger did.

Whenever I do these … I tend to get sucked back into mission editing waay more than I want 
Having a few crashes while in the Mission Editor … which is annoying. Remembering all the LUA is also annoying.
@Wes: Thanks for the list.
@komemiute: Not to be a bother but I can’t get the skin to work with the A-10C II. Which is probably an issue with me but do I need to mod the description.lua file?
Uhm… No?
I applied it to any A10 model without a single editing…
Ah! It can only be used by USA…
If you want i can whip up a quick mod for Canada support…
Just delete the nation line in that lua, everybody gets a mudspike hog!

It could just be me. I copied it to the Liveries directory under A-10C and A-10C_2. Under A-10C, the A-10C II didn’t see it (but the A-10C did), and under the A-10C_2 it also didn’t see it. I suspect it is a PEBKAC problem on my side

Let me check a thing…
You have to extract the folders of the two liveries inside each one of these folders, or at least those you intend to use:
Alternatively you can extract them in the Saved Games\DCS\ something something folder.

Just like I thought. A PEBKAC problem

You have no idea the amount of mistakes I made when I first started making skins so- I think it’s just fair.
Let me know if there’s something I should change.

Sorry for the lack of updates or progress on this from me. I am still dealing with some family matters that makes time hard to schedule.

Same here @Fridge. I’ve started reading the manual but not got too far with it to be completely honest

Time is hard to come by in lockdown days when you have a family.

Same, man. And I’m in the middle of remapping everything on my Warthog after TARGET has apparently crapped out.

Completely correct here mate. I work nights when I haven’t got my own work in the daytime. Between swapping nights and days (sometimes I do both on the same day if I have too which really kills me) and keeping the little terrors busy I struggle with thr mental fortitude to sit down and read at the moment. Its hard going because even when I get chance to relax and get stuck into revision my damn body just shuts down and I nod off.

You’ve earned that rest and we’re not taking NO for an answer!

Okay well I will add a little teaser to for those that still have more to learn with the Warthog:
Changing the TAD to display markpoints.
The A-10C’s default is to display only the most recent mark point, the waypoints and the last known weapons release “Z”. However, creating new mark points does not erase your prior ones. Using CDU options, you can display the markpoints instead of the waypoint route and then quickly cycle between them via the HOTAS like you would with waypoints. This makes it really easy to rapidly cycle between targets with some mavericks, or perhaps keep a library of enemy positions and play recon, or JTAC.
Yes, the Hornet has markpoints now too - but the Hog had them first, and it still does it better!

Yes, that’s one of the knobs on the right console where your right elbow would be.
Normally a switch I would never look at in flight, but now I have a reason to!

That’s how I figured it out again, ha! Fiddle with the knobs until I got it. I couldn’t tell you off hand either, but I know it when I look at it.
It was my first reason to learn to not get shot down when I first started playing - going back to base and re-arming with a library of targets ready…getting shot down became enraging!
It’s really unfortunate that the Hornet’s markpoints reset on touchdown, hearing that was the case was heartbreaking when the feature released as I had looked forward to it from my Warthog experience.
I suppose it’s based on the idea that in reality the odds of a rearm/refuel and return to battle at once is never envisioned. A mid-air refuel if there is still ordnance, but otherwise you just call sortie over once landed.
Indeed, I just wish they would at least then reset on takeoff, so I can have a chance to note them down!
Given the right situation/ circumstances a hot rearm/refuel and heading back out is entirely possible, and has been done in the past. However, the chances of an aircraft returning to the same exact location for another attack, as well as the targets still being exactly were they where, are on the remote side. As for the Hornet dumping the mark points on landing, assuming thats how it is in real life, I’m going to assume that any mark points worth saving will be written down by the pilot and saved, or entered as a new waypoint if they plan on heading back out to that target. Is it an inconvenience? certainty. But only because of the unrealistic way we go about things in DCS.
