So, should I officially abandon the stand alone A10c? and move to DCS World? I've got a buddy who has the Steam version, can we fly together, or must he migrate to DCS World also? Thanks!

I'm not sure what to make of DCS World. I've owned DCS A10c for a year or so. When DCS World is released, must I buy that and re-buy the A10 module? Is there any information on a release date for DCS World? Thanks.

How does this impact those with DCS A10c from Steam? Thanks.

My wish is to have my main 27" in monitor for the center view, or they may call it "camera" and two 8" monitors on either side for the MFCDs for a total of three monitors. I'm not going to be able to split output #2 on my 4870 crossfire setup, I'm going to need a second card and use both outputs on it for signals 2 and 3, correct? Thanks!

Hello all, There are a BUNCH of threads/posts on this, please bear with me as I learn enough to be able to ask intelligent questions. Let me try and share what I think I need to do and I welcome your help. I reserve the right to get smarter. I've watched a number of videos and this one seems to come the closest to answering how to do this, but still not enough for me, I am trying though. Currently, I have two ATI 4870's in Crossfire. I can use two displays on it, I do that in my everyday PC use. I tried getting a VGA splitter and setting up the three monitors that way, but that did not work. So, after looking at the forum, it appears I need to modify the "LMFCD+Camera+RMFCD.lua" file for others looking for this information for me on Win7 Pro x64 the path is: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Config\MonitorSetup" This is the contents of this file: _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('MFCD'); Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center' Viewports = { Center = { x = screen.width / 3; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 0; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = screen.width *(2 / 3); y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center My main monitor is 1920x1080 My MFCD monitors are 1024x768 native, but they may work better at 800x600 I further gather I need to use a software product called SoftTH not sure what to do with it yet, if I actually do need to use it. I would love to get my TM Cougar MFD's going with real monitors. I just can't quite figure this out, yet. That's about all I think I know, now questions: 1) Can I use output #2 from my existing ATI 4870 Crossfire setup, or must I get another PCI ATI card for the two MFCD monitors? 2) How can I determine the values for the "LMFCD+Camera+RMFCD.lua" file? 3) What other considerations are there I have not mentioned? 4) What other advice can you offer? Thank you all very much!!

Thanks!

I see a "start" in the mission builder, is that the time of day the flight will begin? I can't seem to set it to early morning. Seems like anything before 12 noon I guess, is red I'd like to set an early monring or early evening time to start, but I can't seem to figure out how. Thanks.

Not that I'd want to, just getting to know the A10. What is "SADL"? So, what is the best way to setup a two ship multiplayer mission? Two "groups"? Thanks.

That seems odd. I've got a buddy that I want to fly with and we would create a number of training missions where he and I fly together with the same waypoints for learning navigation landing, etc. Then, when we learn how to use the weapsons, we would want to have all that the same too. Maybe I'm not looking at this correctly, but it seems like this should be available. Now, if I make each group a two ship, can we have AI in Multiplayer games? Thanks.

1) With a Logitech G940 force feedback HOTAS, should I not get some sort of vibration in the stick when the cannon is fired? I'm getting nothing. 2) Please help me find a dummies guide to getting started, the Quick Start does not seem to address how to setup a HOTAS. By default controls are mapped that make no sense. Please help me find where to begin. Thanks.

G940 Force Feedback Question Hi all, I've got a new G940 and loaded up a profile (I think) and jumped into Instant Action. I fired the cannon and expected the feel that in the stick, but nothing. Is there no force feedback for cannon fire in the A-10? Hope not, that was something I was expecting. Please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks for the info, I'll buy direct from DCS than.

Hi, I just discovered the A10 sim and am going to buy it, but I'm not sure if I should buy it on Steam or try to get a boxed version. If this is anything like Falcon or MS Flight Sim, I'm going to want to have the ability to edit config files for example and don't know if I can do that on Steam. Amazon does not carry it, does anyone know where I can buy a boxed version in the United States? Thanks!
