In this thread/poll the manual was discussed. Roughly half the people polled said they found the manual and deep understanding important. The other half found they didn't care much to have a full understanding of the A-10C. I ranted a bit about how much people are missing if they try to click their way through instead of gaining a deep understanding. Let me clarify: I have to digress and explain why I'm so passionate about stressing the value of the manual. I've been callus and less than helpful. I apologize. Up until a few decades ago, digital wizardry wasn't available. PCs were little more than glorified calculators, and phones had cords and radial dials that created sparks to communicate with routers as big as a house. During the emergence of this technological utopia we now comfortably inhabit, we were excited. There was something in the near future that was going to change everything. We couldn't wait to see what was next. Enter the military aircraft! They defied laws of physics and understanding as we knew them. How can that aircraft fly to a target at faster than the speed of sound, engage and destroy an enemy with ruthless efficiency, and return home with a grinning pilot? Black boxes.. intense mathematical calculations.. expensive new alloys.. secret sauce. We all wanted a taste of it. It was our gateway into this future we now know. Digital wizardry!.. and we could have a small peek inside through, what at the time, passed for a flight simulator. This digital wizardry persists. These aircraft remain the most complex and effective machines ever built. But when you wake up and pay your bills, check the weather, watch the news, and make a significant purchase.. all within five minutes from your smartphone.. it's easy to forget that these steel dragons exist. Slow down and open your eyes to this wonder. Read the manual, understand the hardware, THEN you can truly take flight and revel in the power you wield. Look closer and be humbled. The Warthog and ED will not disappoint. P.S. -

Итак, встречаем то, что наводит ужас отсутствием пафосных жк-дисплеев и будет регулярно мозолить глаза, а именно - центральную приборную панель:pilotfly: Суммарно 3 панели весят 10031 треугольников. Анимировано ВСЕ кроме светосигнального табло, ибо это тоска, рутина, и просто лень, потом доделаю:) При изменении давления на барометрическом высотомере, если приглядеться, ручка вращается:D На радиовысотомере анимирована лампа "опасная высота", по личным соображениям маркер установлен на 100м:music_whistling: Анимированы индикаторы отказа высотомеров по отключению питания, а для радивысотомера - и по предельной высоте измерения. Вроде пока все что вспомнил...))) И вопрос к ЕД по поводу прозрачных объектов. Светящиеся элементы березы, идикатор механизации, и некоторые лампочки упорно не хотят показываться в игре на переднем плане, они отрисовываются как бы за моделью кабины, в то время как индикаторы отказа курса, глиссады и индикаторы топливомера отображатся нормально на перднем плане. Все эти прозрачные и светящиеся элементы имеют один общий материал и каждый элемент был получен клонированием от такого же с целью экономии времени на анимации... В итоге во вьювере все отображается нормально, что видно на скринах, в то время как в игре часть светящихся объектов не появляются. Пробовал ставить материал standart, cockpit, но эффект один и тот же - никакой. Иерархия для всех светящихся элементов выглядит как "панель - dummy с анимацией отключения питания - индикатор". В общем я уже не знаю где искать косяк, просветите:book: зы: А в ответ тишина, что ж... )))

1. You can't feel your legs. 2. Your licking the barbaque sauce off your shirt from 2 days ago as a form of substance. 3. Your wife starts to introduce her new boyfriend but you say hang on I've just spoted an enemy tank column. 4. ?

Any help would be appreciated. (I knew this was gonna happen once I got the damn sim). Oh well, one less Xmas gift for the wife!

An employment recruiter ("headhunter") inadvertently sent a letter to an A-10 pilot requesting his resume. His actual reply follows the request: Dear Sir: I am a recruiter in Dallas that specializes in placing students from key colleges in the positions they desire to be in with my clients across the nation. I work with companies of all sizes and industries. I received your name from several other members of the "Association of Former Students" here at Texas A&M University that I am currently working with. Feel comfortable that your information is confidential with my company. I would like to discuss whether you are currently in the market or even keeping your eyes open for the right opportunity. I would like to see a current copy of your resume to see what opportunities that you may be perfect for. Please send your resume via e-mail or fax to my attention, and I will follow up with you in the next few days to determine your level of interest. I thank you in advance for your response. Please e-mail me back at <******@odellrecruits.com" , or call me direct at (800)880-xxxxx Extension ##xxx. Sincerely, Aaron McCartney Senior Recruiting Consultant Odell & Associates ------------------------------------ Dear Mr. McCartney: This is in response to the email you sent me regarding your services as recruiter. Currently I am employed as a US Air Force Fighter Pilot flying A-10 Thunderbolts for the 25TH Fighter Squadron, Osan AB, Republic of Korea. My contract with the USAF does not expire until 2006. Here are some of my qualifications nonetheless, just in case any of your clients are need of someone with my expertise: 1. The ability to employ my aircraft, the feared A-10 Warthog, as one of the most capable ground attack/CAS platforms in the world. 2. Protect South Korea from communist hordes led by the Great Pornographer, Kim Jung Ill. 3. Drop cluster munitions from 10,000 feet onto unsuspecting DANKS (dumb ass north Koreans) and send 202 individual bomblets of wrath and fury into their starving, bloated, pink bodies. 4. Take a 6000 foot slant range Forced-No-Solution High-angle gun shot and kill troops in their wimpy little APC's with reckless abandon. (Do you have any idea, Mr. McCartney, what a 30mm Armor Piercing Incendiary round that is as long as your forearm does as it boars through a tank's walls like Jell-O? Let me tell you, it's not pretty.) 5. Get wicked-ass-drunk at the Officer's club on Friday nights, smokin' big fat Cuban cigars (this is Korea, not the US), drink Gin and Tonics like water, throw furniture off the roof, say 'f*ck' a lot, and piss off all the wives and hapless souls who hate our guts because they are not fighter pilots. Mr. McCartney, I have no idea how to "hold a meeting," "do a memo," "take a lunch," "think outside the box" or even sit behind a desk for that matter. I only eat, sleep, fly, and drink. I am an instrument of national policy the likes of which your clients probably have never seen. I would just as soon detonate a 500 pound Mark 82 Air Burst 20 feet above a DANK playground than wander through some corporate office blabbering about business plans and the latest episode of Ally "eat a friggin sandwich" McBeal. Thank you for your letter and please let me know if any of your associates show interest in my capabilities. I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you whining about 'cockpit workload', Mower? ;)

Ka-50 is easier to land!!!!!!!!!! :joystick::doh::megalol:

Рутуб этот жесть полная, 5 минут боролся с рекламой и тем что ролик не загружался или загружался неправильно. upd ***дец, так и не посмотрел. В жопу такие сайты, не кидайте ссылки на них.

Yes. You seriously need to sit down and at least attempt to read the manual. PM StrongHarm - http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=58918 - and request that he explain to you 1 on 1 the importance of perusing the documentation ;)

I thought I reconised Manchester Airport.... ;)

sound like your fan is not spinning up to 100% a common problem with the NVIDIA cards down load a progy that will let you set your fans at 100% like EVGA precision tool http://www.evga.com/precision/

Для захвата после того как Мэйверик синхронизирован с SPI, необходимо нажать TMS Up Short. Но в текущей версии, чтобы эта функция работала, нужно переназначить SPI на странице MAV. Т.е.последовательность действий должна быть следующая: 1. Находим цель с помощью TGP и делаем ее SPI (TMS Up Long) 2. Переключаемся на Мейверик и синхронизируем его с SPI (ChinaHut Fwd Long) 3. Переназначаем SPI (снова TMS Up Long) 4. Включаем трекинг Мейверика (TMS Up Short). Все, Lock On :)

CCIP is CCIP; about the only difference is that you're going much slower than in an F-16 so it's riskier. CCRP is I think a bit more complicated due to the better flight model, particularly if there's wind - it's more difficult to get a good line-up. But there's also more depth to the CCRP. You don't have a radar to lock things with, but you can set your CCRP target using the target pod, or by using the HUD Target Designation Cue, or by selecting something with the TAD. And CCRP is used to drop free-fall bombs, laser-guided bombs, and GPS/inertially-guided munitions which are all a little bit different in their mechanization. The TAD and nav system is also more complex, although I've only ever played Allied Force - maybe FF/OF have a more complex system. But you can create waypoints and mark points on the fly, receive information about the location of friendly forces, get tasking info from JTACs, share your sensor point-of-interest with your flight members, and so on. I think the multiplayer community will really love a lot of the things you can do over the data-link. I'm still learning but I'm at the point where when flying, I feel like it's a really well-designed combat platform. I just need to practice using it until things become second-nature. I do some practice with some system and think I've got it down, then go to use it in a combat mission with time pressure etc. and just go to pieces. It sort of gives me that sense of 'information overload' that pilots always describe - there's so much information and although it's all well presented and easily accessible, managing to take it all in and process it in real-time is pretty challenging. Additionally, you don't have a magic all-seeing ground radar, so I find I'm constantly struggling against a feeling of being blind. Sure, I've located the target, and I've scanned the area around it for AD threats, but am I really sure it's safe to make a pass? Maybe just a few more minutes with the TGP...

Hi guys, after a couple hours I finished a list. This has everything in the game that is keybound by default commands. See attatchment, it was an openoffice excel spreadsheet converted to .pdf. Hopefully there won't be too many errors, it was a fast draft, so much to type I didn't look it over too much, hope it helps you guys. DCS A-10C Default Key Commands.pdf

Абсолютно в дырочку! Я как-то пытался несколько человек привести в мир ЛО и ЧА. Первый вопрос- ну и как здесь летать? Без карты??? А если помощь требуется в каком то месте? Куда лететь? ...Ни один не остался, карты-планшетки нет. Как-то не понятно сделано, без карты, разбитой на сетки летать. В Ил"е есть- а DCS нет. Извольте- 21 век на дворе.:megalol:

Guys, I created a 2 page startup and shut down checklist earlier in the week: http://www.veao.eu/dcs_a10/DCS_A-10_Quick_Startup_Procedure.docx Right click save to desktop then open with Word or Wordpad (sorry don't have pdf maker on this pc). http://www.veao.eu/dcs_a10/DCS_A-10_Quick_Startup_Procedure.zip In zip format to download easier as you might get page not found. I also put a video together on going through startup and shutdown with commentary, you can get it here: http://www.veao.eu/dcs_a10/DCS-A10_Startup_And_Shutdown_with_commentary.mp4 Startup is based on training mission steps and shut down is my take on reverse of those procedures. Hope these help. Cheers, Ells.

The first 3 yes :) the last, not yet :'( no cc :( But I have a good one: ...when you readback the traffic news as you sit in the jam, but only the 4th, 6th and 8th lines:)

Alex_P По-моему, вы занимаетесь рекламой собственного ресурса на другом ресурсе.

Cool, Thanks Sticky, I didn't even think of trying a zoom. Ken.

I have the same thing, could just be some WIP bug, I dont know, but if you zoom in or zoom out one step you get the map back.

Это к а10 да и к патчу - Напоминаловка и поелания, если вдруг не было. Выгрузка состояний всех флагов флаги счетчики возможность через миссию убирать руд на "0" выбранного клиента, сливать топливо на "0" у выбранного клиента, блокировать слот клиента на заданый период времени, чтобы лихач сразу на борт не влетал, а через заданный период только :), чтиобы точно описвалось жив ли он, мертв, а то есть такие, подбили, так он уже сразу на другой борт садится. Ну и как на будущее - возможность задавать в мисии свои подвески с отключением стандартных, возможность учета бекоплекта, типа если нет то его и нет...Даже так - флаги через которые можно задавать и считать заданный тип вооружения и топливо, заданного в миссии, гибко будет тогда и можно ждать обозы, и делать деверсии и будет смысл в уничтожении складов. Планшетку! и всетаки, сделайте в карту сетку, не так уж и сложно 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 километровочку + возможность распечатать (лучше даже сгенерить в картинку, чтобы народ сам уж как нужно распечатал) ее с редактора (а то с реальнми картами не все совпадает) с нужной масштабной сеткой и выбранного учатска - я думаю многие скажут вам спасибо да и рублем проголосуют за удобные фишки, покупая разработки. Мисси станут интереснее, да и с картами много удобнее.

Для непонимающих повторяю второй и последний раз - общепринятая практика выкладывать файлы либо у себя, либо на общедоступных файлообменниках, а на не на чьем-то сайте. В противном случае возникнут вопросы - а почему именно у него, почему не у нас? И почему именно на тот, который у тебя в подписи (я мог и на свой личный файлообменник положить, но не сделал этого принципиально)? Есть гораздо более заслуженные и старые сайты крупных сквадов. Это понятно, надеюсь? iFolder не потребовал от меня регистрации для заливки и предоставил минимальный сервис управления файлом, для меня лично это были достаточные основания. Я никому не мешаю перезалить файл куда угодно, хоть на свой сайт (и тем самым крутнуть счетчик посещаемости). Всё, тема исчерпана.

Just a simple question. I read in the faq that the beta is planned to be updated every 2 weeks or so, and include an updater. Where do I find this or where can I get the latest update for the beta? Thanks

Tanks TAIPAN! I've attached a PDF version ;) (HJ) DCS A-10C Startup Card.pdf

OK here is my 1 page checklist from the training mission. Very much a draft, so it's in excel you can change it if you want to use it. Cheers DCS A-10C Startup Card.rar

Too late. We are officially announcing that 104th is switching over to H.A.W.X, and we will have our training done soon, and if you believe that, I have some good igloo real estate to see you in the nice cold :D

Meet me online with the wrong TAD symbol and I'll show you ... ;)

Famous Last Words....

Still waiting for someone of the 104th to be able to take off... </me runs off hiding>

CAS is a rough environment. You're vulnerable (even if armored) and slow, and you have limited time and engagement room to get your job done. I'd say it's more work intensive than working the radar in OF.

. . . threads like this start showing up :D

You urinate in 2 second burst, saying guns, guns, guns. Or you can't urinate untill the guy next to you says "cleared hot" 'And that can get awkward'

Четвертая миссия полностью готова. Как будет 5 - выложу первую часть кампании (как в случае с вертолетной). Жаль, что не быстро получается...

к вопросу о сером цвете, хотя это су-25к http://www.airliners.net/photo/Czech-Republic--/Sukhoi-Su-25K/1784478/L/&sid=faea123e3074f3af017a156b9d015bce

On a quad core cpu with intel speed step enabled, it will not run on full power until almost 2 full cores work at 100%. So running a game/application that only uses 1 Core, will never be able to make the CPU go out of it's power save mode! Download the small application Cpu-Z which displays the current frequency etc. of the CPU. So you can check what is actually going on while playing DCS.

I disable any energy-saving features in motherboard BIOS so that I can stable maximum output from my OC-ed CPU. Especially when gaming.

Here's the catch, this price includes VAT. You don't have to pay this tax in US, lucky basterds ;) I live in Poland, so I earn less than half of what you earn in the US for the job I do. I also have to pay for the stick 25% more because of european taxes, plus extra money for shipping from different country (probably about 30 Euro). And YOU dare to complain about prices. :joystick:

С одобрения старших по званию коллег я поместил краткое руководство по DCS:A-10C Warthog на iFolder (11 МБ): http://ifolder.ru/19679471 На следующей неделе выложим на наш файлообменник.

Заметано.

Here is a pdf file that I put together quickly so there might be errors. And I expect there will be changes as they continue to refine the beta. But it is a start. :) A-10C KEYS.pdf

... and I will never be among them - thats my point! who are those 30? are they playing for hours? how many are there in week, 30 or 30x7 ? why is it that 80% of other servers are empty at the same time? meaning, if there are 20 server, how many are playing for hours? 30x20 or 30x1 and 0x19 ? if mentioned problems are fixed, EVERY SERVER will have MORE THEN 30 people EVERY DAY!
