LOL, I will post the scenario template as soon as I have it fully ready. I am including airways waypoints as well. You will need the actual charts to make full use of it.

Here are some screenies of one of our Squadron flights. We are using our own squadron training skins (Made by ESA_Lipe) Pictures made by ESA_Birdman. Myself struggling on the boom :pilotfly: The camera really loves this sim :thumbup: Hope you like them.

I always turn it on with right mouse button going directly to TK instead DF, but it does not work for me. It is a pity since it worked real nice and easy before the final release. :( I hope they fix it

I have not seen a single NDB station on the DCS A-10C scenario in Caucasus. Only TACAN and only in some selected Georgian Airports. And sadly no located where the actual VORTAC stations are in the real life so they serve not for IFR approaches since all the bearings and ranges do not correspond to the published ones in RL plates However in order to fly IFR I have found a nice method to replicate NDB. Simply create a Navigation point on the editor on the exact possition of the RL NDB station, you can even name it the same as it RL counterpart. Select it as Steerpoint and you can use you CDI or RMI on your HSI to fly the needle and bearings. Actually I am populating an empty scenario with all the relevant air navigation watpoints VFR and IFR (IAF, IF, STAR and SID.....) as well all the relevant waypoints related to the construction of slected approaches ILS and VOR or NDB. With this done, I use this template to create on top all new scenarios I am flying and this way I have my CDU all the nav data I need to fly any approach or route. Just like the Honewell MCDU I use at work. ;) Well the A-10 des not build and fly the approaches, but if you have the plates, you can simply create an "approach" flight plan on your CDU using the previously stores relevant Nav points on your CDU. So if you are fliying in the soup and have to land in Batumi, simply create a new flight plan to NEDEK for the STAR arrival , from there go to the IAF that can be LU (An NDB) and fly the approach, fly over AKAIKI, the IAF, pass the FAP and there you are flying your ILS needles :smartass: I already have Batumi, Kutaisi and Lochini.

Thanks for the Tip Chokko. Me and my colleagues have been unable to use the Preset frequencies since Final Release. It worked beautifully in the previous Betas and we made extensive use of them so you can say we are able to to use it, but since Final release and also with the latest patch, we have been unable to use them. I will try the "SLOW" mode and hope that it works. When you say "PAUSE" in your post. How long is this supposed to be. 10 secs? 30 secs? 1 minute ? Thanks!!

And where is the "popular Fixed-Wing" rating list? Popular to simmers? Popular to military brass? Popular to the pilots Popular to the maintenance crews? popular to the rifleman on the ground? I guess each of this groups would have a very different "popular" favourite. The key would be to know from wich list is he drawing his conclusions. ;)

Lately me and my colleagues are experiencing some strange behaviour related to the snapviews. While in some scenarios, the snapviews are nice ones for instance the full CDU, in other MP flights we all experience that for instacnce the snapviews have changed to what it was Beta 1 with only half CDU shown. We do use the stock snapviews, having changed nothing here so far. As I said the puzzling thing is that sometimes when using the snapviews you get one view and the next time you play you get another different for the same key command. Has anybody experienced something like this? Can this be related to be using MP scenarios created with Beta 4 and adapted with Final release?

Well, it is not on the poll, but I would love to have the AV-8B Harrier. I think it would be not difficult to implement and development time would be much shorter than creating a new platform and systems from scratch since the AV8-B have many common systems and weapons with the A-10C. This aircraft would allow us to have carrier Ops and a lot of fun. And it is a subsonic one. The "tinny" scenario of the Caucasus we have now would be really small for Mach 2 aircraft :P A lot of docs have been recently declassified about this aircraft. VTOL, STOL... would be real fun and challenging :pilotfly:

Most Thanks!!! Works real fine :thumbup:

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.

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!!!
