DCS: A-10C Warthog (first screens!)
- Thread starter Nate--IRL--
- Start date
Expect some frustration initially - then setup the input curves on your Joystick Axes in the options (7 Deadzone and 30 curve on my crappy stick) - expect it to take about 5 hours until you actual fly by feeling the aircraft and it doing what you expect. Add another 5 before you stop falling out of the sky like a brick every time you try to land.
For me the First 10 hours were the most fun, just learning the aircraft, the Flight model is beautiful. Oh, forgot to add - I hope you have pedals......

Wasn't actually that bad a first flight!
Learned the start up procedure. Make that still learning it. Not as bad as A10, still loads to do..
Took off, flew around the airfield a couple of times, buzzed the Chinooks and landed close to where I started.
I am guessing the hours in Take On Helis have helped!
Also Trackir is a must, when flying in TOH it always gave me a great assistance to come round while looking at where I was planning to land..
Not as fidgety as I thought it would be!
Can see this fast taking over instead of TOH.

I recently re-installed my OS and have re-downloaded DCS world. It recognises my login but doesn't to remember the fact I had purchased the A-10 module.
It is asking for a serial code which i vaguely remember entering, is there a way to resubmit the code or how would I go about finding it?

This my be a stupid question but is there actually any combat in this game? or is it just a study sim?
Are there missions to complete?

Plenty of combat.
On a side note: New thread has been started that kind of pulls everything together under the DCS World title.

Yup plenty of combat.

This worked perfectly! Many thanks.
When I happened to click on the mod manager it listed the Su25 and A-10 but also had a third item listed, looked like a WW2 era M109 or something to that effect.
I have never seen anything related to this and its definately not the Mustang module. Am I missing something obvious?
I think it is a 3rd party AI module - an opponent to fight against in the P-51. I didn't know it installed by default though.

That makes sense I guess.
Don't suppose anyone uses a x52 pro but without trackir.....bit of a mission getting a joystick profile as almost all of them assume you utilise trackir.
I've always recommended setting up your own profile. Setup each system (say TMS to start), one by one, using it in Sim before adding another - this makes learning the systems much easier and the control of them becomes second nature very quickly.

I had previously tried this with average success. I found the waiter software quite unwieldy. Will have to sit down and have another crack.
Personally I'd do it from within DCS itself rather than the Saitek software.

That looks very nice, how many pages in the book? Is that paperback type?Got the printed manual today, very happy with it for £15. Black and white pictures but the quality seems fine.

That link does not work for me, but his post goes back years ... I have the old third party ring bound manual too from back then, couple of others, trouble is the module has been updated a lot since that manual, a lot of it must still be relevant though, must dig mine out again.

DCS comes with the Su-25T and T-51 (unarmed version of the P-51 Mustang WW2 fighter) as part of the free DCS core install
