For your information I play A10 only in game mode. I don't have the time to learn every control in this sim as beautiful as it is and if I did want to learn every control I would re-enlist and go to pilot school. Remember that there are some us out here who are not as immersed in the sim as you may be but we still paid the same price as everyone else. Where can I find this quick guide you mention? all I see is the short guide and it does not seem to be the one you refer to. To be clear, my response wasn't meant as "RTFM n00b". I glanced at the quick start manual briefly and it seemed to have instructions for "Game" mode, so I was trying to be helpful. I would have no idea where else the controls for "Game" mode would be explained... they're definitely not in the main manual. No, yours wasn't but some were, and besides where are any key guides for that matter!? I work on combat aircraft and i can barely remember my own switch check let alone a virtual aircraft aswell! I keep trying to find the TIALD in my spare time and the CDU at work lol

beacause tankers will have a slightly different system as they need it for you to be able to find them, AFAIK a fighters TACAN only transmits pulse for range, and doesnt have a TX of putting out a rotating wave which would give you bearing, I could be mistaken, or it could just be more modern systems that include this. The aircraft I work on cant provide bearing but they are quite old!

* therefore it may not be a WIP, thats just the way it works :)

this may be a long shot but I think in RL tacan in A-A mode does only give distance and not bearing, or the other way around, I cant remember which exactly but im putting my money on distance only

ahh i think it is game mode, ive been playing in sim mode all this time and its decided to swap all my hotas contols around when I enabled it. Ill stick to sim mode I think

Ive just been browsing the Beta reviews from awhile back and seen this view, does anyone know how to get it?

MFD's have seperate CB's, and theres probably about 20 systems going through a wiring loom so youd lose a lot more systems in one go

change your weapons using the flight planner dude, i do this regularly as the set loadouts seem retarded sometimes and wrong for the mission. And to second the point of FLIR only works in clear weather, which is true, why do you think wars are only fought in sunny countries these days....

a bathtub protecting the cockpit cannot possibly protect all avionics equipment as it will be spread out much further e.g tornado, however to the threads point there is usually a universal computer that controls both MFCD's, I have never seen an aircraft that has two display controllers for two MFCD's. I am having the same problem though, and it is very unusual to just get these faults. If one plug was being disconnected by rounds impacted then i'd start wondering why nothing else was...

thanks very much :)

First of all, this game has completely blown me away! Thank you for the game i've always wanted! I dont know if anyone else is getting the same issues as me though, I get random crashes when flights are loading. They dont seem to be linked to anything i'm doing at the time or the type of flight. Restarting the sim then will not help, as it will not get into the cockpit without crashing again, and a PC off/on again is the only way to restart. The strange thing is after the game has crashed, I cannot use any application that uses my sound card! E.g iTunes, media center will not open at all. When shutting down i get an error message that windows cannot shut down the logoff tone, this only ever happens when DCS:A10C has crashed, exactly the same as the iTunes etc problem. Im running a 3.4ghz dual core, 512 graphics, 4gb DDR2 and get no fps issues at all on low settings, at least as far as ive found and my DX is all up to date. Any takers?
