Hi guys, For those that have played Blackshark or Warthog, how does TC compare in terms of difficulty starting from sctratch for all games please? I know TC is deep, but is it hard as such? I found Warthog quite difficult but i dont have TrackIR etc... Cheers.

Hello, I have recently installed facetracknoir for 64 win 7. I am using a logitech HD9000 and without much tweaking not getting a bad result other than the ongoing issue with holding still enough to hit switches etc. Anyway, for now I want to go back to just manually moving the cockpit cam with keyboard or joystick but if i dont start facetracknoir program it still works in game. If i unplug the camera i cant move the camera in cockpit at all and it may be facing down at the floor. Any ideas please? Surely I do not need to reinstall DCS Warthog? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your feedback everyone. I will experiment with FacetracknoIR and if not suitable invest in TrackIR first then HOTAS. Cheers.

Greetings, Just a quick one. I have had this incredible sim now only for a few days. I currently have a Logitech Extreme 3D pro stick and I am usiong that in conjunction with the keyboard. Naturally and after reading information on here, it would be wise for me to add some extra peripherals. What would you guys recommend be my initial purchase please, the TRack IR5 or HOTAS Warthog? I will then buy the other item as cash flow committs later. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the welcomes and great replies. It seems there is a healthy diversity of gamers / simers / enthusiasts / pilots etc here. Awesome stuff people. Is it perfectly normal to go to bed picturing the cockpit and running through start up procedures in your head after three days on this baby? :) ...wait....I'm sure I was actually dreaming about it too. ....wait....I'm at work managing a business and I'm on the forums. Absolutely Hooked.

Hi all, Firstly I would like to say hello. I am new here but have spent the last few days surfing the forums after my purchase of A-10c Warthog. A bit about me. I am 41, live in Australia, happily married and in a professional career. I am also an avid gamer and have been for well over 30 years. Commodore 64, cassette tapes and syntax errors anyone? I would say I am also a sim enthusiast to some degree (no not those Sims games) with a period where I was totally hooked on FSX and always had a fascination for most good flight sims. I purchased DCS: A-10c warthog from steam after reading up on it and I must say, you guys have yourselves one hell of a amazing sim here. This begs the question as the title of this post sort of implies....Are there any players of this sim that generally do not have a passion of aircraft? I mean...a real passion? Yes, I like planes. I am a male after all, however this sim is just so real and so amazing that I am wondering whether it attracts mostly military buffs and plane enthusiasts. I mean it would almost be like asking an Atheist to study the Bible. However, I find myself completely compelled to stick out this long learning curve and I am constantly encouraged to tame this wonderful beast. I am a gamer that is not a pilot, enthusiast, plane engineer or military buff. I am however a mature gamer that is one hundred percent, completely in love with this simulatiion. I hope many others are not frightened off by the initial complexity. After only two days, I see reward in my efforts to memorize start up procedures and navigation. I am fortunate to be able to play this on the highest possible settings and res, which totally engulfs me in terms of immersion and eye candy. May I finally commend all of you. I have surfed this board numerous times and have read nothing but supportive and helpful replies to fellow members. You have a wonderful, mature community here and I look foward to the time I may be able to offer some assistance and productive feedback also to our fellow Warthog pilots. Cheers and happy flying.
