DCS: A-10C Warthog (first screens!)

Left hand panel in front of the throttles, the large lever on the fuel panel. When in the aft position it will open the refuelling door providing hydraulic pressure is available.

Ah, thanks a lot

Creelers · 19 Mar 2011 at 20:26

Started mapping a lot of controls like CMS, DMS and the China Hat.

Wish I did it at the beginning, makes everything a lot easier.

This looks an awesome piece of art, may well get it to christen my X52 before Cliffs Of Dover arrives.

For those prefering a Steam release, they have posted this on their twitter feed:

A-10C assets have now been provided to Steam for publication. Now we wait.

Might mean a Black Shark sale also

Would love to pickup Black Shark on Steam so I can say goodbye to my Direct2Drive copy.

Creelers · 21 Mar 2011 at 01:28

Eh, I want a good helicopter simulation, but I want it to be the AH-64D Longbow Apache

Also, I'd probably forgot A-10C stuff trying to remember Black Shark stuff.

It also depends on the sale price. If there is one.

I'd love an Apache too, but the next DCS module is slated to be a US fixed wing aircraft, they haven't said which one though.

Hoping for the F15-C or E or the F16 myself.

Black Shark is on steam already.

I'm betting on it being an F/A-18, Possibly even a DTS for our MoD since there are British pilots training on them in America just now. Just me speculating. And ED want photos of an American carrier what use is that if it's a land based aircraft next

Creelers · 22 Mar 2011 at 16:03

I just want the F15, F16 or F18.

F22 might also be awesome

muttclugg · 22 Mar 2011 at 16:21

F18 would be great! I thought there were already pretty strong rumours linking the F15 to the next module?

miller745 · 23 Mar 2011 at 12:48

Whatever it will be, it's at least a year away yet!

Plenty of time to enjoy the A-10C and Ka-50.

All the files were sent to Steam a few weeks ago. Just waiting on Steam to get their **** together. Expect it soon.

Hodge · 5 Apr 2011 at 20:15

Also waiting for the A10 on steam.

Aye.

I love Valve and Steam, I really do but is Valve Time an internationally recognised time zone?

Maybe I can learn how to engage a target the JTAC is looking at now.

So frustrating going through a cold start, taxi, takeoff, spend 10 minutes trying to get the coordinates he's giving me to match up to where the target is, fire a mav off and CTD upon it's impact.

lurkio · 6 Apr 2011 at 11:47

Some decent fixes

Pity the constant connection to master server is still their for all
multiplayer modes

But at least they are allowing refunds

If that was the Effect.dll crash introduced in the last patch, it should be fixed.

Yep seems so, managed to complete one of Greb's JTAC missions using the datalink and manually entering the coordinates into the CDU to find the targets.

A few minutes after I was airborne the ATC said I was clear for startup, over and over and over until I tuned into another frequency. One more for the bug DB.
