I too am having similar problems. I just upgraded to a TM Hotas Warthog. Do I have to change something in Target? I notice that there is no Target profile for DCS A-10C, only one for DCS Black Shark and one for DCS F2 F-15. do I use one of these? Cheers, Noel.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'm grateful for the honest and perceptive analysis of the options. It seems to me that a HOTAS unit is very nice to have if you can afford it. I'll have to reassess my setup and see if there is a way to fit it in. I agree with Tailspin45, DCS A-10c is way better than even the VRS Superbug, which is about the best FSX has to offer. Cheers, Noel.

Hi Guys, What are the pros and cons of flying with a HOTAS Warthog compared with using mouse, joystick and keyboard? Is the HOTAS worth the price? Specifically, does DCS-A10c accept HOTAS commands more reliably than those from a keyboard? I seem to have problems inputting keyboard commands, whereas clicking switches in the VC works well. Second, is the HOTAS hard to accommodate on the average desk? For the life of me, I can't see where I would put one. I have the mouse in the left hand, the joystick in the right and the keyboard in the middle. There does not seem to be space for another unit. Thoughts? Noel.

Is the difference enough to justify ditching the old version and buying the new one? Cheers, Noel.

I'm using TrackIR3 and have for many years. Works fine with a variety of games and runs the later software. I don't know how the newer models could be better. Cheers, Noel.

Can anyone say whether DCS-A10c is limited by CPU power, like FSX and FS9, or by GPU power, like most shooters? That might help starkey817 decide where the money needs to go... Cheers, Noel.

Came up on a well-known FSX forum yesterday (I am am a refugee from FSX). Quote: "DCS A-10c is the king of military flight sims." It's true... Noel.

Thanks, I have already installed 1.107. First impressions: great, detailed sim. Textures seem much clearer than others I have tried over the years. Cheers, Noel.

Ah, thanks! Got it. V1.106. So only the 1.107 patch then. Cheers, Noel.

Hi folks, I recently downloaded and installed DCS A-10c. When the sim starts, it says V1.10. Should I install the two patches or would a new download have these already incorporated? If the sim reported version numbers with more decimal places I would be able to tell... Cheers, Noel.
