Love the style, it looks great! :)

I can't see ever playing a Air to Air mission in a CAS fighter. (shrug) More power to you if you enjoy that kind of thing though.

There's a reason I don't play FSX and that's because I don't want to have to pay $40+ for every plane, ever airport, every paint scheme, every map, every vehicle, every era, every upgrade, every plane variation, every weapon, every radar system, every guide, every video... If DCS is gonna start slipping into a payware-for-every-little-thing model I can certainly see my interest dropping. Paying ED for super high quality aircraft every few years is just great. Paying 5 different developers for one or two little things every few months... never. There's already been a thread about how much DCS A-10C has cost people and for many of us it's been over a $1000 including all the peripheral purchases. I'm happy stopping there and not becoming one of the guys who says "I've spent 10,000 on DCS mods"... Especially if most of that money isn't going to ED to make the next DCS game better.

Don't do this: :)

There's really no choice, you must get the Thrustmaster Warthog. Everything else is a toy. :) The ability to fly the same as you'd fly the plane is so perfect. It's not just "better" than other joysticks, it's at such a higher level you can't even compare it. If you can't afford one (and it's semi-required pedals) then the X-52/X-52 Pro is a real solid choice as others have said. But really, get the Warthog, it's amazing.

They are supposed to be labelled.

Sometimes two copies of Track IR running will result in a similar issue.

Welcome to DCS! :)

Welcome to DCS!

Of course we could, since many of us paid for Nevada back in Oct, 2010. :music_whistling: And, no, a screenshot of a bush wouldn't be enough. A screenshot with a bush and a shadow and perhaps a cloud or two would be though. :lol:

I know I really missed the twist when I switched from my Saitek to the TM Warthog, but after getting Saitek Pro Flight pedals I've never looked back. So much more enjoyable flight now.

Yup, it's part of toby23's wonderful document pack.

See some examples of what you can do with wingmen here:

Do you mean what all the switches do based on SOI? Like this:

No thank you. Depending on how this goes it very much could affect my purchasing from ED themselves. DCS works really well as a community which shares and helps each other for the benefit of everyone. I'm not sure I'll enjoy it if it turns into nothing more than a customer trough.

Wow, May. That's like an unimaginably long time from now. :)

That's the intention behind FC3 as ED has said, but you'll need to start whichever game you wanted to play - no switching from A-10C to F-15 without quitting and restarting FC3 for example.

Separatist Aggression is always a problem for me what with all the units and the clouds.

To get range I lase for 2 seconds or so, basically one long hold of the NWS button. The reason for the 8-10s autolase is to retain energy for the bomb to correct itself. An average drop seems to be 20-30 seconds or so of fall time so if you start to try to maneuver the bomb from the start of that it'll use up it's energy and drop short. So you only lase for the last few seconds off the drop.

Here's a video I made a while ago that shows how to configure and drop a GBU-12 laser guided bomb and a GBU-38 JDAM.

You've already got such a guide. :) \Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Doc\DCS A-10C QuickStart Guide EN.pdf Check page 30 to target and page 36 to attack with the Maverick.

That's the 81907 link I posted above. :)

Here's how to change them. Also here are two presets of custom loadouts: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=81907 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=79151

TMS Up Short with TAD as SOI and some map symbol highlighted by the TAD cursor.

You can press the MRK button on the UFC. That will create a Mark on your TAD at your current location. You can Hook it then Slew your TGP to it to find your target.
