Headspace, any news about when you expect to release the TARS version compatible with the Release version of A-10C?

I do not see why. If the reason is that the new aircraft is from one specific nationality, you can count that the same number of people not flying it, would be replaced by new people interested on it and that was not interested on the previous "market". Anyway, people that likes military flight sims, would embrace it with passion if it is one of the high quality DCS product, be US, Russiam or European, fixed or rotary. I vouch for the Harrier or the F-18!!!! Fun.. fun... fun.. And carrier ops. :thumbup:

Those are great news. I hope either the F-15E or the AV-8B Harrier are the candidates. The F-15E is a dream aircraft however I am not sure if the "mini scenarios" of the DCS series can handle such fast mover. we would need bigger maps :megalol: The AV-8B is quite more similar to the A-10 and we could do carrier operations as well and experience the thrill of the VTOL. Anyway any new DCS module are simply great news!!!! :pilotfly:

The throtle possition is the least of your troubles when you have one engine down due enemy fire, you lost the engine, you lost one hydraulic system and who know what else. It is time to haul ass from there, so you surely do not need many of the buttons on the right hand throttle, unless of course you plan to keep shooting and fighting with just one engine and a crippled aircraft Anyway, as Eddie mentioned, this is the way it works on the real life.

The best is to leave the setting on "Application controlled" in your Nvida Pannel. I have great perfomace and graphics this way with a GTX 285

I would call that a wild guess :megalol: Where is the Auto switch for lights? :thumbup:

Latest version is Beta 4, you can get the full version here http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=8&end_pos=135&lang=en Patching seems to give more troubles than installing the full game new version. According to ED sources on this forum the release of beta 5 could be around this week, so you may have to reinstall again by then. :pilotfly:

Try this: Nvidia Control Panel Settings ************************ Amb. Occlusion - Not supported AF - Application Controlled AA Gamma - Off AA Mode - Application Controlled AA Setting - Application Controlled AA Transparency - Off CUDA - All Max pre-rendered frames - 3 Multi display - Single display perf. Power - Adaptable SLI rendering mode - Custom (see AA setting) TF Aniostropic opt. - Off TF Negative LOD bias - Allow TF Quality - Quality TF Trilinear opt. - On Threaded opt. - On Tripple buffering - On TF Anisotropic opt - Off Vertical sync - Force on In Game Settings *************** Textures - High Scenes - High Civ Traffic - High Water -High Visib Range - Medium Heat Blur - Off Shadows - Low Resolution - 1680 x 1050 Aspect - 16:10 Monitors - 1 Cockpit Res. - 1024 MSAA - Off Fullscreen - On HDR - Off TSSAA - Off Clutter/Bushes - 0m I have a Nvidia GTX 285 and I have discovered DCS A-10C works far much better with the Nvida pannel set to almost factory defaults leaving using "Application controlled". Give it a try this way. :thumbup:

Hi. First at all THANKS for the awesome MOD. Can you please elaborate more this statement about PPT? How does this work now?

I just downloaded from the links posted above but I got two rar files that after uncompressing produced one folder that contains 2 files each. One file is called mission and one file is called options. None have the miz extension and I am not much sure how to intall and launch such missions. Any suggestions? Message edited. Disregard my message. It was my own system trouble that for some reason downloaded the files as ZIP files and alter the file content. Links and files work properly. :) Looking forward to test them

What are we supposed to comment? :doh:

Training and a good HOTAS joystick would make you proficient without needing "pauses" or any other stuff. To fight the A-10C you need to train on its systems and its procedures. There are no "magic" tricks, just do some training and you will feel every day more able and skilled.

How many of the virtual squadrons using or planning to use the DCS A-10C operate on European Time zone? I do not mean they have European members but that their activities can be framed in that time zone lets say between 1900 Zulu and 0000 Zulu

F-15E the is the most sexiest plane on this sim. I am dreaming to hear this one would be the next DCS Module. The ammount of missions we could do with this one, even the A2A role, is just endless. Sexy Sexy Sexy. :P

Is this mission avalaible for downloading? I would learn even more how to set up some of this stuff if I could take a look inside from the ME :thumbup:

I completed this mission and it was nice and fun to play. A bit too easy if you stay avobe 10000 but a good weapons training. The JTAC orders were a bit screwed since I got some target orders without using the radio but when I used the radio the JATC told me he as no more targtes for me (Was a multiplayer mision) Anyway I located the targest and destroyed them having much fun on the process. Great lighting and views, excellent choice for the mission time. :) As a note I found a system to prevent getting stuck on the taxiway. Keep always moving at some speed, do not let the aircraft to slow down even if using full power. I managed to taxi all the airport even when I saw the aircraft was about to get stuck. Thanks for the mision!!!

I fully agree, and as we have seen with the Easter Eggs, on DCS A-10C you can also eject from the plane and board a UAZ. Would be nice to be able to make the preflight, walk to the airplane, and so. It would be a nice inmersion addition to this excellent sim. :)

WILCO Thx :pilotfly:

What does not mean that refueling from tanker is not possible in MP? Does it mean that if each human A-10 tries to individually contact the tanker to refuel, it will not work either? If this is the case, What is the MP reason to prevent so? I do not get it :huh:

Well if Janes could made an F-15E simulation back on 1998, I do not see what would be the difficulty to make it again 12 years later. Regarding the classified stuff, be serious. Do you think that any PC Simulator is using real actual data from systems or weapons???:lol: All of them, including our already loved DCS A-10C have to one extend or other, lets call it "estimated data" for not calling it fake data on some sensitive systems. You can get all the unclassified info you want from books like this We, hobby players, do not need exact and precise duplication of systems, perfomances and weapons configurations based on military classified books. Only the enemy need that data :P Neither Falcon 40 F-16 reproduced 100% all systems or used classified data and was a success. I think that as long as it is credible in our sim world, we can have a semi-simulation with some "estimated data" and still have fun.

So how do you suggest we keep a tanker airborne doing tanker patterns and being avalaible for refueling the other aircraft? I guess you would tell me to create 64 waypoints reproducing a tanker hold pattern. What don't we do the same with the AWACS and CAP aircraft instead just bothering with this "Useless" Orbit thing... lets just add 100 or 300 waypoints for each aircraft ... :pain: With he A-10 Simulator, a non radar aircraft and whith very few missions where to do any air to air role, if any, having a decent "friendly mission editor" tanker racetrack orbit option, would be far more useful and needed than having AWACS wandering around. We need an option to create a tanker hold pattern easily on the mission editor :prop:

I have already reported this issue on the Open beta forum. Tanker Speed in Race-track orbit way too fast The main issue is that the "scripted propierties of the Race-track Orbit, make tankers to fly those pattern at speeds fasters than an A-10 can fly and rejoin the tanker. The only actual solution until ED change the Orbit Race-Track speed for tankers (For the Awacs or for the CAP, the actual speed is ok) is to create yourself using tons of waypoints a nearly endelss racetrack route using lower airspeed. Not very elegant, but it works.

I would love to have the F-15E Streike Eagle. It is just a GREAT strike aircraft and can also do a Air to Air. And it is a real beauty And of course if multicrewed, the better ;)

I guess it is about tastes but I prefer it the way it is now. First because "I am the pilot" ;) not a dummy, but also because in this "cramped" cockpit, it can reduce o difficult the visibility of some pannels and also most important, this cockpit is so realistic that a "dummy" inside would kill the inmersion. IMHO

The process is quite straightforward. Create a waypoint with the given coordinates in your CDU, make that waypoint your Steerpoint. Make that Steerpoint your SPI and bombs away :thumbup: All the answers are in the excellent Flight Manual. :)
