Hi all, Here is a simple written down version of the startup procedures for the DCS A-10C. Once printed out and in front of you it should help memorizing it while we wait for the final product. :pilotfly: 3x : 8.5x11 pages http://www.sabran.net/DCSsharing.html PopovQc

There have been a number of questions about how to program the CDU with a waypoint that a JTAC calls in and has not been datalinked to you. Hopefully this video helps and is not too confusing. Original video has been updated with 720p and voice over narration. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKDIQWZIHmo

Turns out that even though you can't see the IR pointer in beta 2 that's mounted on your pod, you sure can see JTAC's IR pointer and it looks really awesome. The IR pointer gets used at night instead of WP, other than that there doesn't seem to be too much difference between daytime and nighttime in the beta. There's also an issue where the IR pointer, once on, doesn't stop and it appeared to mess up the JTAC interaction after the first run. I'd be interested to know if this reproduces in other missions that have a JTAC at night. Haven't yet had time to test. If people are interested I will make a how-to video for adding a JTAC to a mission, tuning it in, and interacting with it. The JTAC feature of this game is a hell of a lot of fun to use.

tree was taken. For real. I went by the name of 'tree' during my infant days on the internet and flight simming. Then one day I decided to try Warbirds and 'tree' was taken, and I was like - ARGHHH! Total brain freeze! I sat there and was like, tree...three...free..gee...eEE... Fast forwarded two hours and I settled with leaf cuz fruit was too gay. I was quite proud of 'leaf' and it went where ever I went on the internet until one day... When a total stranger started chatting with me on icq and after about ten minutes of getting to know one another that person suddenly said - "I thought you were a girl!?" I was like, no, I'm a guy. And she was like, but, your name...leaf! Total shrivel, so back to the drawing board... Probably spent another two hours just to add 'er' too. But leafer also sounded just as gay as fruit. Well not if it's Leading Edge AirFoil-er. :D

Multi monitor set-up guide: DCS-A10c & BlackShark 2 Display your MFCDs, CDU, RWR etc on a 2nd, 3rd etc monitor Initial note: This guide is to help people create bespoke multimonitor configurations in DSC-Warthog, no matter what your configuration the principles are the same. Please add any tips or correct any errors i have made. I'll adjust this accordingly. My set-up is two 22inch displays side by side, i'll use this as the primary example, but the logic covers any set-up. I have included several monitor set-up examples to help explain the principles. Essential Requirements: Full screen OFF (ingame). Extended desktop enabled in Windows. The 'primary' monitor, in Windows, needs to be your top left most monitor, otherwise you may have problems. You need to create one lua file. BlackShark 2 note: Shkval is Left_MFCD Abris is Right_MFCD ** Before editing DCS files please read this post: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=599686&postcount=1 The Guide: 3 steps Step 1: 1st thing you need to do is workout your total resolution of your combined monitors. Use the image below to help you work this out if you are unsure. Here you will find 3 example layouts.. Note this figure down, this is your combined resolution. Step 2: Create you own bespoke multimonitor *.lua file and save it here: \Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\MonitorSetup\ How do this: (Read through this entire section before starting your *lua file), 1st time through you might well go WTF!, but trust me it is not that complicated. :) First look at the default existing files in this location; (\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\MonitorSetup\). They are good examples and the default ones provided with the game: There is one example original ED file: LMFCD+Camera+RMFCD.lua My example: My_example.lua NOTES: What it all means: ED have used wording rather than numeric x/y coordinates. This is to allow flexibility. You can also use this format, but i find it more complicated, so i use the numeric pixel option. In ED's method screen.width = the combined width of all your monitors, (x), screen.height = the combined height of all your monitors, (y). So for me screen.width = 3360 (2x1680), screen.height = (1050) I wanted both MFCDs on my 2nd monitor, this is located on the right of my main monitor. Both my monitors are 1680x1050. Center = your cockpit view x=0, y=0; is always located at the top left corner of your 'primary' monitor, in Windows. The x & y coordinates always refer to the top left corner of each element. i.e the location of each MFCD is their top left corner. You do not generally need to edit viewDx, viewDy or aspect. But it's worth checking the aspect ratio. This is calculated by dividing your width by height of you cockpit monitor. name = is the name that will be displayed in the game options drop down under Monitors. (Make it unique) width = & height = are x & y resolutions in pixels associated with each item, cockpit (centre), MFCDs, RWR, CDU etc. Look at the spoilers below to explain the x/y system: Screen coordinates explanation: 3 example setups to help explain screen coordinates. Both x & y start on the top left corner of the left most monitor. x goes across the horizontal while y goes down the vertical. My example set-up displayed: - putting it into practice, refer to my lua file My_example.lua above to understand what is going on. Ok now you should be able to start creating your own bespoke multi-monitor file accordingly to your own set-up, if i have made this clear enough and you have wrapped your brain around how this all works. I'd suggest you use my example above and edit it to suite your setup. You need to save this file as file type .lua and save it in \Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\MonitorSetup. Step 3: Launch the game.. go to Options. (Here you need to do two things) Firstly you should now be able to select your bespoke file from the drop down list labelled; MONITORS (If it is not in the list you have most likely made a small mistake with the lua code.. check for missing { , ) etc. if any part of the code is missing it will not be available to select.) Secondly you need to enter your combined resolution, you can simply type this in. This is the total resolution you worked out at the start of this guide. See image below: Your aspect ratio will alter itself. General Notes: You can edit you monitor file on the fly, i.e without having to quit the game. Can save a lot of hassle. If you don't get the results you want simply quit flight, alt tab, edit the file, alt tab back and click fly again... your new setting will be used. I hope this is clear enough. Enjoy.

starting slowly, this pit is complicated, because i didn't had any answer from ed developers about the templates. i spend hours seaching each litle peace of texture in the origin files. but now, all the hud is new, the front area is also completely rebuild. it will take ages but the result will be great, for sure.:smartass: cheers.

Ok say you got the A 10 installed on steam and you wander, "Will I get achievement points like in x box?" Well what kind would you expect to get. here's my small list of thoughts 1. Perfect landing on Full realism. 2. landing on fumes 3. Killing 10,000 trucks with guns 4. performing 100 co ordinated attacks. 5. A-A refueling [if it is supported don't know much about these flight sims other than dcs blackshark] 6. Evading 10,000 sam missiles. I got more but what do you think.

Hey there. I've received numerous requests to make additional videos about DCS A-10 since the multiple JDAM drop video. I enjoy making these. Feel free to suggest what topic you would like covered next. Gonna consolidate these into a master list of vids. As of now, there are 4 "main" ones, with the Targeting Pod guide being the latest: The above video describes how to range targets and create more accurate markpoints with the targeting pod. I made this fairly (as study sims go) newbie-friendly vid to show how to land. Part 1 is a basic VFR approach from the pattern; Part 2 has a crosswind landing and missed approach + additional info on crab angle calculation. I have introduced my personal preferences into the procedures very slightly, so I'm sure it'll deviate from the official Landing training mission. But, this is how I usually do it. I am not going to get particularly hardcore in the landing series of vids, because they're meant to be a starting point to practice and not an encyclopedic repository of pitch-perfect landings. Lately I've been experimenting with the trim system and MRFCS, and so I made a video about that. There was some confusion in the openbeta forum about how these systems work. It's also motivated by my desire not to end up in the state of confusion that I (and many others) were in about Black Shark's trimmer. I went into the A-10A manual that's linked in the "A-10 documentation" thread, read up on the trim/MRFCS topics in that, and then compared it to the functionality in the beta. The result was that it works as described in that document. Which is very cool. Please note that since the MFRCS is still a WIP item, I'm not going to do part 2 until there's either a good way to portray it as WIP, or until it's finished. The original JDAM video; shows the user how to launch multiple JDAMS and explains how the markpoint system can be used to input new navigation waypoints for flight plans. _______________________ I'll annotate any technical errors people find.

Hey all, Some of you have helped me in my trek to get my pit past the "I think I want to build one" stage. Instead of constantly taking space in each topic, I thought I'd start my own with my questions. Once I have something to show for my pit, I'll post the pictures. Here are some questions in mind: OC cards - I'm wanting to go the SOIC route so that later on in the build I can add the backlighting/displays without buying extra cards... and also doing everything per LUA. Question is, which cards do I need from start to finish (mastercard, USB expansion...) List Everything! Switches - Thanks Rocketeer for your information on the switches. I'm looking for some actual part numbers for pretty much every switch, knob, button, screws, bolts... in doing my research I've come up with hundreds of numbers, but not for the cheap stuff. Can you guys leave some numbers for me to take a look at from what you are using? Panels - I'm thinking of starting the whole thing out of wood. The Lufthansa Hangar Chief did say that if I want something out of aluminum, he'd have it done for me (still would have to pay, but it's a good offer). I have the images for the panels, or most of them. Even if I do it out of wood, should I do multiple layers, and how thick? No backlighting for now. Paint - I know the basic colors are black and grey. When building in wood, do you use primer, color, clear coat... and if acrylic or aluminum, do you do the same? Berlin - Anyone live near me in Berlin Germany with a CNC that would be willing to help? hehe. I know I'll have a ton of questions, but that's what's at the top of my mind at the moment. Thanks for any answers provided, and I hope to start work on a panel sometime soon!

В опциях поведения группы техники можно отключить рассредоточение при авианалете. Тогда группа как и раньше будет двигаться по маршруту не взирая на обстрел.

I was raised beside a cliff edge facing the Sea. The unbridled power and ferocity of the North Atlantic during a High Tide in a winter storm is a sight to behold, a force of nature. I developed a profound respect for the Ocean that fed so many and destroyed so many with the same hand. It was part of my identity. When you are in the Sea you have to watch out for riptides, or nowadays more often called rip currents. Because if you tangle with a RIPTIDE you are fcked. I'd like to think I carry that ideology into the virtual air, with my callsign. :D

I also had the same problem (and got used to Alt+Tab every 10minutes), but after trying Mustang's suggestion - it works. I just had 2 hours of continuous flight with no error, so I suggest you try it your self. Mustang, thank you mate for this!!! :thumbup: PS one of my friends with the same symptoms also confirms it works.

Ввести новую модель в ЛО могут только разработчики. Для пользователя возможна только замена старой модели. Точнее одноместного МиГ-29, но что-то меня мало впечатляет наличие МиГ-29УБ без одноместного. Шасси будут выпускаться только при совпадении аргументов анимации. А быстро и качественно это как? Так не бывает. Особенно для тех кто избалован качеством нынешних моделей. Это я про Су-25 :)

I was playing around with the MFD functions and I found something cool. If you go to the STAT page, then scroll trough all the different systems, for some you can do a test. For the MFCD it goes trough different colors then you have to press all buttons and rockers to see if they work. You can also do it for the HOTAS, where you have to go trough all the HOTAS buttons in sequence to see if they work. Comes in handy for checking how your controller profile works out!

Man, you went all technical on me :D

Only 10,000 SAMS? You sure it shouldn't be 1,000,000??? :music_whistling:

Yak-50 dead engine field ditching.

What is wrong with everybody? These kind of comments infuriate me :mad: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SWITCHES. I am an electronics engineer and I've worked on aircraft for many years. The switches on the Warthog are better than those on some aircraft I've worked on!! The so called 'covers' everyone is talking about are not even 'covers'. They are a 3-way, spring-loaded switch that, by design, requires an enclosed part around the top of the switch. The 2-way toggle switches are 'open' by design. They will be like this on any real aircraft. Jeez! Please don't bother commenting on the perceved quality of the Warthog if you A) don't own one, or B) haven't even seen one. Rant over...

Beta 2 defaults to the Music sound being turned down to 0%. Just turn it up from Options -> Audio Tab

You did their bikini line? :P

Damn Viper, that's a real cute animal. :D

Interesting... for me non active converter did not work so I had to buy active one and it works.

Hi, im using this setup now for like three months. You don't need a active converter. At least mine 5870 uses a 35 Euro passive converter made by HP. It converts from DP -> VGA. My actual setup is: Main: 24" via HDMI plus one 19" on DP and one 19" on VGA. Im striving for 3 x 24" setup though, that's why i have 2x5870 right now.

No problemo! :)

Adding the &hd=1 works for me with the tag just the same. Example here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1017279&postcount=2

Hi, patience, work in progress in the break.:music_whistling: Just a little update. Opinions? Regards, Krieger

Lets see where the next beta puts airfield layouts and go from there, as I figure these guys are still working on a lot of this.

The MiG pilot originally tried to give the 'bird' while doing an inverted 4g negative dive, but then he realised the UAV wasn't at all interested. But thats all classified. :smoke:

Over the weekend i performed a reinstall of my OS, and after getting FC2.0 and DCS up and running i encountered yet again the dreaded C++ Runtime error CTD's. After looking back through this thread and stumbling across this thread http://www.cadforum.cz/cadforum_en/qaID.asp?tip=5551 i successfully managed to nail my crashes. So, all i had to do was enter this command via a DOS window (start/run/cmd.exe) and reboot. bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072

You mean acceleration (butt/back) and gradient of acceleration (inner ear) :smartass:

Yeah it's a pipe dream, I know. Which begs the greater heathenistic question, where's DCS going? We will soon have two excellent, amazing, and highly sophisticated simulators that share nothing but the Editor and the DCS name? Are these two sims serving two separate online communities by design? I'd love a Kiowa. I'd also love a gold plated toilet seat. Neither will ever happen. So I'm stuck with a Ka50 that's being left behind by the new kid on the block with no functional battlefield connection to it. Was such a thing ever promised? No. But I did the dangerous thing and assumed...

I hate how you continue to post on subjects that you know nothing of! -1 on you...
