Use this mod if you would like to have more dense grass/bushes. Files can be used for DCS A-10C v1.1.1.1 and DCS BS2 v1.1.1.1 only. Note: This mod does impact performance in negative way, affecting video card mainly, so you will need higher end video card to render more denser grass and at further distance (I currently use HD5870 with 1GB vRAM) Few screenshots These are mine in-game options EDIT: version 1.2.6 Slider limits are in file ...DCS World/MissionEditor/Modules/dialogs/me_options_system.dlg - look section starting at line 501 edit "range" values (Min and Max) Files (A) Files (B) Files ©

What is HawgTouch? HawgTouch is a light-weight software which enables external panels/gauges for your A-10 simming experience. Starting out as only plain MFCD frames, with the help of this community, HawgTouch grew more and more to support better features. Version 1.5 is the latest update of HawgTouch to date. With features like data export and vector-drawn gauges, HawgTouch brings you closer to the real thing. Try it out and see for yourself. Version 1.5 Added server mode. You can now link multiple HawgTouch clients from remote machines Added load profile in LOCAL or REMOTE modes Enhanced NOTEPAD control. You can now add PDFs or any website you'd like as tabs to the NOTEPAD NOTEPAD control size now definable in the profile XML Added update-on-command feature to Export.lua. If HT finds an update to the Export script it will notice you with an OUTDATED label. You can either Update the file or continue with the old one. It is recommended to Update whenever one is due. Added Reset function to all controls which can be reset (Rotary switches, Two state and three state switches) Fixed 3 state switch bug which prevented sending the middle position keystroke Added classic ADI (Black/White bg's) - Type - A10ADIClassicGauge Added ILS repeater Added TACAN repeater Added VHF repeater (supports both AM and FM. See 1.5 Features profile) Added UHF repeater Code optimizations and reduced size For HawgTouch to work in LOCAL MODE, the SIM must run in Windowed mode BE SURE TO CHECK TMAHRING'S WONDERFUL PANELS! Check out his post HERE. tmahring will continue updating the post when new panels are added! Check'em out: IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SERVER MODE: How does server mode work Server mode works by listening to the data received by the sim and distributing it across all specified HawgTouch clients. While in Server Mode, any client that is running HawgTouch in REMOTE mode (assuming configured correctly) will send its keystrokes to the HawgTouch server which will then be forwarded to the game. To utilize server mode. You'll need to open the HawgTouch.exe.config file and take a look at the settings there. A more detailed guide on how to Set Up multiple computers with HawgTouch will be published shortly. NOTE: You will need to change the Export.lua and set the IP of which to send the data to your LAN IP. Sending the data to 127.0.0.1 will not forward the traffic to other HawgTouch clients IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT PDFS: YOU WILL NEED ADOBE READER 9+ INSTALLED WITH THE INTERNET EXPLORER ADDON ENABLED TO VIEW PDFS PROPERLY. - To add PDF's to the NOTEPAD control. See the 1.5 Features.xml file. There will be a commented line (which the parser ignores) that looks like this: <PDF [b]Name[/b]="shu77's Airfield Diagrams">[b]C:PDFsshu77.pdf[/b]</PDF>Name - The name of the tab that will hold the loaded PDF Path - Path to the PDF document. Can be local or online. You can also open websites using this command. Just change the Path to the URL you want to open. To set NOTEPAD control size. See the following line in 1.5 Features.xml <NotepadSize Width="800" Height="600"/>I probably don't need to go into details on that. Pretty simple! Version 1.4 A few optimizations and bugfixes Added support for more gauges introduced in Gauge Pack 1.2! Version 1.3 features Here are some of the key features brought by HawgTouch 1.3: Rotary Switches with customizable positions & keystrokes 2 & 3 State Switches now support default start position Notepad tab for all your mission relevant data Data import from DCS-A10. ClickButton control expanded to support events from the simulator. Check the supplied NMSP control (thanks paulrkiii) by loading the 1.3 Features.xml profile 10 unique gauges, including Fuel Gauge, Flaps Indicator, VVI (Variometer), Engine Temperature, Oil Pressure and more! Check out the 1.3 Features.xml profile to see them all! Resize the gauges at your will. These vector-drawn gauges can be scaled to any size and retain full detail. Brand spankin' new look! There is plenty more in this version! Check it out for yourself! Gauge Pack All gauges in HawgTouch are provided in a separate module called HawgTouch.GaugePack.dll. The reason these modules are separated is to allow independent maintenance. HawgTouch Gauge Pack contains 16 gauges Altimeter HSI Gauge ADI Gauge AoA Gauge IAS Gauge Hydraulic Pressure Gauge Flaps Indicator Gauge Variometer (VVI) Fuel Gauge Engine Fan RPM Engine Fuel Flow Engine Temperature Engine Oil Pressure Engine RPM APU RPM Gauge APU Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge Gauges Demonstration Video: Gauge Pack 1.2 Gauge Pack 1.0 - 1.1 Adding gauges to current profiles is very easy. Here is a simple gauge definition in the XML: <Gauge> <Name>FUEL</Name> <Type>HawgTouch.GaugePack.Gauges.A10FuelGauge</Type> <DataImportID>GAUGE_FUEL</DataImportID> <SizePercent>50</SizePercent> <Y>0</Y> <X>420</X> </Gauge> For available types of gauges, take a look inside the provided profile 1.3 Features.xml. Notice here the SizePercent property is now independent to the gauge itself. The default gauges size is 400x400, this parameter is percentage. So 50 would cause the gauge to be drawn in the size of 200x200. Data Export HawgTouch now supports data import from the simulator straight into HawgTouch. This allows better interactivity between the simulator and the program. The provided NMSP control (graphics by paulrkiii) demonstrates exactly how data export works. FULL LIST OF SUPPORTED EVENTS HawgTouch data export is enabled by a single click. Notice that it will back up your current Export.lua file. You can disable data export at any time. Running HawgTouch on a second PC Many thanks to NU-NRG and yargon for their excellent writeups! Quick Setup Guide: MASTER SETUP (Where A-10C is running) Open A10DirConfigExportExport.lua with a text editor Change the IP address 127.0.0.1 to the "slave" machine. ie 192.168.0.12 and save the file. SLAVE SETUP (192.168.0.12) Download and extract HawgTouch anywhere. Make sure Gauge Pack is present. Do not open HawgTouch yet. Open HawgTouch.exe.config with a text editor. You need to bind the local machine LAN IP here. So either type 0.0.0.0 to make the binding automatic type in 192.168.0.12. One of these should work. Launch HawgTouch and load the profile containing the gauges Launch A-10C on MASTER Enjoy! A more detailed writeup will be posted shortly! Thanks to NU-NRG Important Stuff SUPPORTED KEY SHORTCUTS LIST OLD HAWGTOUCH THREAD WITH KEY INFORMATION Troubleshooting 1.

Not only that but it's lot cooler to do all those funky head moves by yourself (keeps you in shape). That's how I fly every time I fire up my virtual A10. And, when I get shot down I just throw myself off the chair.

I see this was requested a few years ago. I would really like to see windsocks on the airfields. It would be a nice piece to add to the realism. Now that smoke blows along with the wind currents, maybe adding windsocks to the airfields might be easier to implement. :music_whistling:

Did the whole thing Wags mentioned. No change in FPS. Putting this game off for the next year, or at least until they fix the framerate for machines that don't have an i7

Thanks Mustang, quality work as ever:thumbup:

And if my Grandma had wheels, she'd be a motor coach. ;) There's only so much the devs can do in a limited amount of time.

МиГ-29С имеет встроенную станцию БРЭО и РЛС, в отличие от просто 29. МиГ-29С имеет большую, нежели Су-27/33 крейсерскую скорость (на 200 км/ч), и несёт ракету Р-77. Су-27/33 имеют больше узлов подвеса вооружения (10 и 12 соответственно против 7 у мигов), у них значительно дальше радар видит и больше топлива (9 тонн против <5 тонн без подвесных баков у МиГов). Су-27 маневреннее и умеет делать Кобру в БВБ. В итоге: если враг далеко, садимся на Су-27/33 и пока долетим и отстреляемся нам хватит топлива, но у нас слабее ракеты (если на Су-33 подвесить ЭР-27ЭМ, то и не слабее выходит) Если враг близко и имеет высокие маневренные характеристики+БРЭО, то садимся на МиГ-29С, подвешиваем Р-77 и чихвостим его и в хвост, и в гриву. Особенно важны ракеты на подвесках, я лично отдаю предпочтенье Р-77 и ЭР-27ЭТ/ЭМ они наиболее убойные. P.S. МиГ-29 (29G) это пережиток прошлого, может носить слабое вооружение и хорош в основном на серверах с БВБ и тепловыми ракетами.

now I would love to know if we can adjust power lines draw distance as I find they too disapear too early, the power pole at least should be visible few km further out

Не пойми что мы тебе не хотим дать совета но с zetetic я полностью согласен , читай , изучай и поймешь , что акула это ЧТО ТО .

Version 1.4 released Change log: - Added frequences for Tanker and AWACS (shoud work for clients now). - Increased the Tanker speed again to 250 knots ground speed.

Yeah, the four digits in the altimeter are the altimeter setting. The setting the ATC gives you is currently broken, but that is how you set the altimeter. There are a couple different ways to set it. There's QFE (field elevation), which is what the ATC will give you. This is basically setting the altimeter to 0 on the runway There's QNH, which is elevation above sea level of the runway. This is setting your altimeter to the runway's elevation (above sea level) QNE is a standard elevation - "pressure elevation" - 29.92. This won't necessarily give you an exact reference to the ground, but it's useful when you're trying to maintain separation from other aircraft or other such things. Wikipedia has some more on the subject.

Just keep practicing...You will learn to stay above 10,000 feet (AGL) or more when there are SAMs around. Fly back and forth to your enemy, about 10 - 15 miles out and keep searching on your TGP for those lil buggers. when your view from your pod gets blocked, turn 180 degrees and keep looking. Always get the SAMs and AAA first. the next thing to learn is to use quick views for your MFDs. I remapped my RCTRL+NUM0 to just NUM0 to activate/deactivate quick views. it really helps a lot. Be sure to use white hot/black hot on your pod too... it will make the enemy units show up better... usually. I bet in a week you'll be killing commie aggressors by the hundreds!

Good job Miro:thumbup: +1

This has been brought up already a lot in these forums, but how can you be sick and tired of the jets you list. F-16 - Falcon 4 release 1999 F-18 - Janes F-18 release 1999 Flaming Cliffs - release 2003 and survey sim, not detailed like DCS I can see if a new F-18 sim came out every 2 years, but are you really saying that a frequency of once a decade is too much? ;)
