Conure

Just to echo everyone else, the video card is crap...My PC didn't cost too much and runs A10 beautifully..pretty extensive research went into it too...If you can aim for around the specs in my sig you'll be all set :)

Thanks for the reply - I'll send it back. Hopefully they'll refund/change it...Not sure if it is strictly fault...We'll see I guess..

right, as it has continued to bother me I've uploaded a video..I've got to be honest, it's not particularly noticable in game but I thought this would have no issue like this at all. If you have an x52 pro or non pro, does yours do this? The zone you see moving is non responsive. Cheers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rGjnNQdjQ4

nvm I've got it :) feel free to remove!

Hey guys, Have just spent maybe two hours sorting out my hotas bindings...I am sick of SST! Anyway, when I cleared everything out of DCS to avoid conflicts I have removed the following command...I think when I have this, I am good to go. Jealous of all you "my warthog hotas doesn't require any setting up" people :D Zoom in and out with mouse wheel..Is it an axis, or button, or what? Thanks:)

Hmm??

Ah I see, Thanks!

Hey guys, thanks for the replies :) I've realised the 'wobble' i'm talking about just occurs when you move from forward to backwards when the plate is flat...seems sensitive enough :) it's an x52 pro.

Whoa, what're the chances! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=65705

You know, when you summarise it like that..I think I agree. Try A-10 anyway, it feels more "alive"...Though I'm not sure why!

Whatever your opinion, I can speak for my particular regiment in the British Army with 4 years of service...Maybe that varies in other places however I'm talking about now and from the Army in which I served. I would pity any infantry regiment who were tasked for anti aircraft duty without EXTENSIVE support.

Henchman I try to be as polite as possible because it's a great community, and I'm sorry...But you're speaking absolute ****...I don't think it's possible that you have any understanding of real warfare whether on the ground or in the air. Why are you comparing a VTOL (with no avionics or flight model) from crysis set 30 odd years in the future, in which the human race take on (and defeat) an alien attack from the triangulum galaxy (how did we beat a creature with technology to get that far?!)...to DCS? Yes I'm sure your Crysis VTOL would take down my A10, but if you do that, I'll respawn in my Millenium Falcon and take down your VTOL...She makes .5 past light speed you know.. Infantry DO NOT fight aircraft...I spent a long time in the infantry and during training we had a module on "effective assault upon aircraft" and our trainers skipped the module....If you see an aircraft and you're infantry then YOU HIDE! You do not bunny hop out with your missile launcher, make a quick lock and fire....How many choppers have we lost in the Middle East? And even if they had more advanced guidance systems then the aircraft would know long before you got a chance to fire and sufficient counter measures would be in place. Yes you could say that effective anti air might be in place, but 99% of the time infantry operate far in advance of AA support... Infantry have their place, and it has nothing to do with taking down enemy aircraft. If you want infantry and pilot integration, you're going to have to find 18 or so very stupid people to play a platoon of infantry who are happy to sit in a virtual ditch, under heat neutralising camo until the pilot runs out of fuel and goes home.

If there was a fully intergrated infantry combat game with realistic air support, can you imagine how boring it would be for the guys on the ground? "Pr0pilot52" has killed "J0hnWayne" with the Gau-8 "Pr0pilot52" has killed "R3deption" with the Gau-8 "Pr0pilot52" has killed "J0hnWayne" with the Gau-8 "Pr0pilot52" has killed "S3phiroth4life" with the Gau-8 "Pr0pilot52" has killed "Cod4Life, s3phiroth4life, JohnWayne and R3demption" for a multikill, with the Maverick Sephiroth4life: CAMPING A-10 NOOB, THIS GAME IS BS AND TOTALLY UNBALANCED, WTF YOU CAN SEE ME WHEN I HIDE, SHOOT MY BUILDING DOWN AND I CAN'T EVEN SEE YOU FFS Sephiroth4life leaves the server R3deption leaves the server J0hnWayne leaves the server Cod4Life leaves the server ------------------------------------------------------------------ Seriously though, how many people would actively enjoy the process of playing the game on the ground against CAS aircraft? To make it vaguely fun and so it doesn't take 12 hours, you'd have to make the map smaller, which would make the hunt even easier for said CAS. This results in simply a dumbing down ala the battlefield series..

I'm pretty OCD with these things and it may well be something most don't notice :D

What's an RC?

Hey guys, got mine yesterday but noticed there is a bit of free play going from front to back on the stick. It's still very sensitive and does an excellent job, but there is maybe a half cm (possibly less!) of free play..This isn't a problem per se, but I wanted to check it was normal...I've noticed this isn't connected to the sticks movement, it's actually a wobble that occurs above the part of the stick which goes into the box at the bottom.... Thanks

Very interesting - I'd like to get involved with a group like that for A10, so I will apply :-) Unless they are not aimed towards UK members??

Hey all, Whilst at the moment I'm a long way from playing A10 with a serious squadron, I'd like to one day...Do any squadrons play really seriously using RL terminology etc? Perhaps even with somebody taking the role of ATC? That'd be very cool! Are there any vids of this if it real?

Hey Tango, Is FL260 26000 feet? Also, what's the beeping in the background on the aircraft? That's crazy...

I disagree - there has been a huge gap of flight sims over the past decade and now we're getting several at once. Even the more arcadey producers are trying it out (HAWX, A:AA, WoP etc)...If anything they seem to have more going for them now. I have played Crisis and I really don't understand the comparison...Apples and oranges have significantly more in common than DCS and Crysis...OP, you cannot complain about the AI in DCS and claim Crysis is better..Have you finished the game? That last boss is the most stupid thing I've ever seen! :D

Hey all, got my first HOTAS today..the x52 pro..It is leagues ahead of my old cyborg and feels MUCH more immersive, very happy with the purchase...Black Shark feels like a new game though.. Annyway, I think I understand the concept of profiling...Basically, the joystick emulates the keyboard and as I switch between modes it emulates different keys..What I'm confused about is, I want to apply the rotaries on the throttle to things like "increase/decrease gate size" for targetting, or perhaps another rotary to something else 'transitional' so to speak, like abris lighting...Is this possible? I've followed the manual and guide but it doesn't explain this! Thanks :)

Mower I think deep down you still love FSX...She treated you like **** but I reckon you'd take her back in a second.... If she'd have you :D

Thank you! Finally... Does the mfs do anything in the Dcs games?? Thanks!

If you want a full vibrant world and are happy to significantly compromise realism, try World of Warcraft on a flying mount:D

I don't think anyone would really deny how great that would be, but look at the sacrifices that have to be made. I love Bad Company 2 and its new Vietnam addon - I think they're great, but because of the scale of it (encompassing air/ground and infantry based tactics) it lacks on every count. That isn't to say it's not a lot of fun, though. Same with Arma, though I've not played it I've heard the flight model and systems of the choppers are a joke...As for keeping in business, I would presume it's done via their military contracts...That said, there is definitely a niche and safe market place for ultra realistic sims, with a dedicated community. Black shark/ A-10 + Rise of Flight quality scenery, to me, would be perfection :)
