TwoMoreWeeks needs to bring on a native English writer. That was just to painful to try to read.
Interesting that they are contemplating another Harrier, Gr.7 perhaps.

Personally Iād like one with a radar on the nose, either a SHar or a Plus, so you can do some mixed missions escorting the NA.
Iām sure someone will make a Falklands scenario using Hormuz, Harriers, and the M2K as a stand in for the Argentine Mirages.
To this day, no one has managed to match the Longbow 2 training experience. It was just brilliant how it walked you through everything and made you feel like you had a real instructor in the other seat.
Iām going to need a faster aircraft with longer legs for the MUDSPIKE Christmas 2017 journey. Need to be finished when the AV-8B drops.
I dunno man - the default DCS A-10C training missions were pretty good werenāt they? I mean, that dude sounded authentic and the way the training stuff guides you around the cockpit with those yellow arrows is pretty well done.

āEnough with the rockets. Time to move on to the next waypoint.ā
It was close, but it didnāt match. The way the instructor could give you control and then take it back as well as indicate what was what in the cockpitā¦
Of course, letās list all the other modules with training missions as nice those here:
A-10C

I thought the F5-E training was pretty nice. What did you think of that?

the ka50 instructor also points out stuff. he totally does NOT teach taming the autopilot tho.

for what its worth I did the training for M-2000C, though there still are some inaccuracies I am waiting to polish once the updates are out (soon).
And have you guys tried this training mission (D/L link in the first post)?: Announcement - new A-10C DLC training campaign - DCS: A-10C Warthog - ED Forums

I donāt have the F-5E or the M2K, so I wouldnāt know.
In fact, I have what is probably considered a short list now.
Ka-50 (which after almost 10 years including BS1 I have still never used the autopilot or 90% of ABRIS, itās just a moving map or Shkval repeater), A-10C, FC3, CA, P-51 (barely touched), F-86 (barely touched), MiG-21 (barely touched), Viggen (barely touched)ā¦I think thatās it. While the Mustang was a gift, I bought the rest and still wind up flying the older planes the most because I know them and when I get a chance to fly I tend to gravitate towards flying a mission vs learning a new planeā¦especially when Iām flying MP. I want to learn the others, but I just havenāt had time.
I did have 21 taxiing down cold, but never got past using the guns. Itās been so long now Iāll need to start from scratch.

I guess I am a bit old-fashioned. Or maybe just old. My ideal for training was how (no surprise!) it was done in Falcon 4. The text for the training scenario was in the manual. Read that through a couple of times then go fly. The mission would start in a freeze while the āinstructorā set the pit up for the scenario. After that the mission was very lightly loaded in terms of dynamics. The less the best, I say. And please: No voiceovers and no āterroristsā, ārebelsā or āseparatistsā!

Almost bed time. Hereās to hoping there will be another av-8b video when I wake.
Seriously though, the stream of DCS pointy jet media lately has been absolutely sublime.

Thatās a great video. Last night I spent about 30 minutes trying to drop LGBs on practice targets (without reading the manual) and could not crack the code on what I was doing wrong. My bombs would drop, and I thought I was firing the laser correctly, but I missed on all my bombsā¦
Maybe it has coding so you have to match the bombs to the laser, allowing buddy lasing in MP but also the ability to prevent yourself from lasingā¦
Yes, there is a laser code area to enter stuff for if you are bombing on someone elseās code. I just gotta dig into the manualā¦

finally a hint of the new sounds. Iām looking forward to flying this thing like a dickhead all around the ramp.
But are you going to draw giant 
ises in the sky?
