The logbook doesn't seem to track online stats. Would it be possible to implement that feature? I fly 90% online and it's a bit disappointing that nothing ever is recorded in the pilot's logbook I've been keeping since the earliest beta days.

Thanks, guys.

I constantly need to trim (pitch as well as roll) the F-15 in FC3. I was under the impression that that shouldn't actually be necessary. I'm using a HOTAS Warthog and the stick works perfectly for everything else. Any ideas?

Sure, go ahead! I've updated the original thread on SimHQ, too. Thanks for your work!

I haven't seen a target in DCS yet that couldn't be taken out by a pair of GBU-10s, including bunkers.

Shut up and take my money!

:megalol:

I just (5 minutes ago) for the 1st time managed to do an AA-refueling (600lb initial fuel load) without a single disconnect. My log states that I've been flying the A-10c since October 5th, 2010. :music_whistling:

I have no idea how I did it but I seem to have totally wrecked my config. Thankfully the sim reverts back to the default config once the files are deleted. I use a Warthog so I only had to remap a handful of controls, no big deal. Everything is working again, the Christmas holidays can come. :thumbup:

I just got a replacement HOTAS Warthog and went for a little test flight. What I noticed was that the TGP doesn't seem ground stabilized anymore. Any idea what could cause this behaviour? EDIT: OK, I fixed the TGP problem by re-calibrating the stick, but somehow my controls seem completely fuxxored. TIR doesn't work anymore, ESC and other key commands don't work anymore, how did I manage to do that? :music_whistling: Re-loading the key file (or TIR file) in the config doesn't help either.

I recommend the P-51 for some landing training. You'll think the A-10 lands all by itself after that... ;)

The main problem with tank ammo is the propellant cartridge which is very vulnerable to damage. A steel-walled bomb is FAR less likely to blow up when hit by shrapnel or light AA fire. During Desert Storm there were several accounts of A-10 missiles cooking off in the air due to enemy fire though.

Why would I?

Download and install DCS:World 1.2.2 Download and install DCS:A-10C 1.2.2 Once you launch a mission for the 1st time you'll be prompted for the serial key for A-10, enter the key you got when you initially bought the sim (beta, full version or DCS: World module). From now on the auto-updater should keep DCS:World and the modules up-to-date. The version number can be found in the lower right corner of the main screen, currently it's 1.2.2.7286.

Ich hatte das gleiche Problem. Da ich ebenfalls das Problem mit dem Mauszeiger hatte habe ich zu Beginn einer Mission immer kurz alt-tab benutzt um das Mausproblem zu beheben, was wiederum zu den Schwarzen Gebäuden im TGp führt. Ohne Alt-Tab gibt's kein Problem und ohne 'disable aero interface' funktioniert auch die Maus.

I don't know about you guys but if I were a T-80 tank commander I'd rather save my precious few AT-11s against targets like enemy tanks or slow-flying attack helicopters rather than 'wasting' a subsonic ATGM on a target like an A-10.

I had the same problem when I reinstalled the latest versions of DCS (and the TIR software) yesterday. The solution was to delete the default profile file (via windows) in the TrackIR folder and remap the F keys in all other profiles since even when exclusively using a profile with remapped keys the default profile would still interfere with the ingame F commands.

Will do. :D

DCS world crashes on connecting to master server I just installed DCS World 1.2 as well as the (1.2) modules of the Mustang and A-10. SP works fine but whenever I try to connect with the master server I get the "DCS World has stopped working" error window. Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the same problem with my TrackIR 4, the standard TrackIR F-keys interfere with DCS. I've setup a new profile in the TIR software and ticked the "use exclusively" box, but I still can't use the "default" keys in DCS and the TIR software doesn't let me change/delete the default profile. I'm using the latest TIR software (5.1.3). Any ideas hpw I can fix this issue? EDIT: Gaaaa... found the solution 1 minute after posting... simply delete the default profile via Windows... :music_whistling:

Just a quick video I threw together while training take-offs and landings with the DCS: P-51 Beta. Really enjoy this aircraft, great job ED!

Short range SAMs shouldn't be a problem as long as you stay at/above ~ 15.000 '. Longer range SAMs should be mentioned in the mission briefings, and you should plan you approach accordingly. That is: stay away from them, or stay low and use terrain masking. What we do online is one guy drawing fire while the others spot for the SAM launch. With the exact location of the SAM known an attack can then be planned.

Since I've bought the beta I've spent close to 200 hrs with the sim. I call that a pretty good value for my money. :D I've been playing computer games since the mid-80s and there are only about a dozens games that come close to that.

That card will struggle with the sim. If you want get a new NVIDIA card, I'd recommend a GTX 460/560+. I recently upgraded my GTX 260 (which is already faster than the 8800GTS) to a GTX 470 and am very happy with its performance. If you want to get a new NVIDIA card, I'd recommend a GTX 460+/560+.
