[CDU Offset Tutorial]

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!! Where was this 3 hours ago when I was trying to figure out how to mark the Initial Point for a landing?? Awesome tutorial WX. Confirmed what I had finally figured out and taught me a few new things. Thanks!

[Some questions (fuel / takeoff / landing)]

Hi!

 

3. What's the supposed landing distance (or whatever it is called) for the A-10? I've been practicing landing at Novorossiysk airport, and its runway is just barely long enough. I touch down right at the edge of runway at 135 knots and with full wheel- and airbrakes I can still just barely stop at the end. 5,9km is barely enough or am I doing something wrong?

 

If you're using rudder pedals make sure you have the brake axis inverted or you may not actually be applying brakes. I played with some controller settings and forgot to change this again and it took me a bit to figure out why I couldn't get enough speed to take-off (toe-brakes were on).

[Ok. who messed with my Hog??]

I had my left MFCD fry in the middle of one of the training missions. Annoying to have to start it over again, but AWESOME that there are this kind of failure simulated. One thing that I never did check out - there was a red boxed error message on the right MFCD and I didn't see any obvious way to get rid of it if I was on a mission and wanted to continue with just the one MFCD.

[Autopilot button binding?]

Thanks for all the replies. I'm don't have a combat throttle so I'm using the buttons and throttle on my flight yoke for whatever doesn't fit on the joystick. It's actually working out pretty well

Thanks, Robert

[Autopilot button binding?]

I'm hoping I'm just going blind, but I can't find a binding for the autopilot button. I'd really like to assign it to a button because finding it is a pain.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

[Cannot assign axis]

I found I had to delete the whole DCS A-10 directory in the "Saved Games" directory to get it to work (just deleting anything with .txt extension didn't seem to work). Fortunately I was just starting out so I really didn't lose much mapping or anything else.
