Fellow Aviators,
Knuckling down to RgTFM, specifically the A-10C II Navigation Chapter. It is hard going. The complexity of the A-10 is a given, ED have built a masterpiece. But this part of the manual is not user-friendly and is not a teaching aid, it is a reference tool only. It logically describes operation of the system: do this, this happens etc.; to do this, do this etc. However there is no contextualisation of the processes described. So it very quickly descends into a maelstrom of Steer Points, Waypoints, SPIs, SOIs, CDU, AAP etc. Students will have to look elsewhere for teaching. Don't expect it from this manual. I can liken it to reading a chess manual written by a chess grandmaster, rather than a teacher. To newcomers it is inaccessible. I will visit Chuck's Guide to help with this area of learning. But for the moment we have a necessarily complex and brilliant aircraft, an unnecessarily complex manual, and a very simple concept of mission navigation that is completely lost in this part of the manual. Otherwise ED's created DCS World is one of community and genius that deserves all of your free time !!
