I took the plunge and ordered myself the ThrustMaster Warthog Hotas, but I have to say that I'm one of the ones that are not that impressed? I like the joystick, but I am not at all keen on the throttle department even though it is suppose to represent true life. For one when I put it on my desk and lock the throttles together, it moves about when I try to lift it over the dents even though it's top heavy. I also find the button presses for a desktop control to stiff and clunky on the throttle. I know they are suppose to be like that but I found myself not liking it one bit. I can understand them in a jet when you have all the Geforces and feel you are pushing against something, but I just cannot get used to it on a desktop control. Does the new Saitek offering have them same stiff keys? I currently have the Saitek x52 and like that to be honest lol.

Cannot see it, in the UnitedKingdom app store.

Cool, I have about 9 activation's left for each module. I upgrade my computer every 3 years, so this means I'm ok for 27 years. Will I just contact ED for some more activation's after the 27 Years is up, if I am still walking this earth that is? Might even have the F16 by then.

I use the mouse wheel when I hover over it, I don't have to press any mouse button.

How do I know how many activation's I have left? I ask because after a couple of computer crashes, but without having to reinstall windows or change any hardware. My game has brought up a message about reactivating my modules. Me been to quick to want to get back into the game, I'm not sure if it has used some of my activations due to this windows crashing. Do you think this will have used some of my activations and how do I check? Also, if there is a patch and you reinstall the game from scratch like some people recommend, does this use an activation?

So, do you have something you are using other then peters Mod? Can you tell me what it is and where to get it? I am having a much better experience just using Peters Mod, but if there is something else to add to it then great. Thanks

Well I can see the HUD fully, so I'm not sure what you mean. What part of the HUD carn't you see? Also, if that is correct, isn't it better then having your head somewhere where it's not lol.

I was just wondering why Peter P Neck Mod hasn't been put into the game? Seems it a must because the original one is way out of position. As a pilot you sit with your head back like in this Mod and not like ED one where your head is neither here or there.

I think what people are getting at is that you are not even paying for a finished game. Also, you have to remember that this chopper would have gone on sale, but for some people moaning that they had paid full price, like they did for the Heuy. I paid full price for A10C and a week later it came on sale, but I didn't moan about it. Can you imagine all the clothes stores been inundated with people moaning, because one week a pair of jeans was full price and the next they were on sale? I feel the people that have moaned have done themselves no favors when it comes to helping with development. A sale is normally done to bring in more money towards development, but most people will now wait until this chopper goes on sale now.

Banned? that's probably it then. I joined a weapons training server which I thought meant no team killing, but obviously not. I started up my A10C, and of I went to pepper some ground targets. When I reached my targets, some idiot, in another A10C, decided to use me as target practice instead of the ground targets. I asked if an admin was about and got no reply, but I did see he was in the lobby. I told the guy who shot me down that I didn't start up the A10C, and go all that way just for him to be a jerk and shoot me down. Now it looks like I'm banned lol. I guess the admin just got added to my jerk list, or are we supposed to target each other on weapons training?

Why don't they tell us when an update is released anymore? And what's it suppose to fix because I cannot see it anywhere in these forums?

I just logged on tonight after playing last night without a hitch and now I get this message every time I try to join a server. "Connection interrupted." My internet is working fine and everything worked last night. So what's the problem? Thanks!

I was just wondering if there is a good rain mod anywhere for the A10C?

Yes seems a very helpful community around here. I would have had a nightmare working that out if i had read that section of the manual, because I feel it over elaborates at times.

I really appreciate the help and have it working now. Thanks so much for explaining exactly how it's done. Thanks!!

@Eno it was weapons training. My weapons start ok but when I return to rearm it happens. So when I land I have to do this list above before takeoff? I haven't got as far as this with weapons training, is it in that order and easy to master?

When I land at a base and change my weapons load with the ground crew. They tell me that rearming is complete, but when I look at my weapons in the cockpit they show up as been empty? I have selected the Mk -5 rockets to do weapons training but why aren't they loading up? what am I doing wrong here?

How do I disable defragmentation on the SSD? Also, I have an i7 930, that is overclocked to 4.0 Ghz and I have been told I will lose my overclock if I add more then 6GB of ram. Can you tell me if this true, if I will lose my overclock? Thanks!!

Will there be other cities or Towns in this map, or will it just cover Las Vegas?

Sorry, but I am still not fully sure how to go about this. I also have the Saitek X-52. What button are you using to do this and do you mean set it up in the controls in the game or using the Saitek software?

I am also getting bad stutters on the same server and want to know if an SSD drives really does help DCS World? I currently have a Raptor drive running at 100000Rpm and 6Gb of Ram. I was told that 6Gb is enough or is this wrong? Would upgrading to 8 GB help much?

That sounds the best option, but would I have to have the joystick key pressed in whilst pressing on the keyboard commands for the UFC? Bit like a shift key acts for capitals letters? Also, if that is the case could it be any joystick button or would it have to be like a button that acts like shift? Thanks!!

A tone? What type of tone? You mean when you are contacting tower to takeoff or something? You haven't given enough info.

Cheers for pointing that out, I will just have to get a full keyboard. I will need another keyboard because I like to do what's in the Pic below, it makes them look much better and true to life. I might get a few more keys on there aswell if it's a full keyboard. Thanks!!

Yes I am aware it duplicates keys, but I am just trying to work out what keyboard keys the A10C, doesn't use. I don't think it will use so many keyboard commands that I cannot set these few keys up, will it? I mean, what currently does it use keys 1 through to 9 for apart from views? I have trackir, so I don't require them for that. After that there is only a few more key I need spare to get this working. Do you think this will work, or am I missing something here? Thanks!!
