i bought the Uh1 Huey module having really fun,the helicopter is sure nice takes every bit of the pilot too fly it.But the big question is can the Ai gunners onboard fire at a target havent seen a command for it in the Control section,its quite annoying going nice drivebys and gunner dont shoot,well you can take Control your self but it would be nice if they could self fire!!

Thx all i needed to know.

Hi im interrested in buying the FC3 module to dcs have all others.And im wondering if i by it,can i fly the SU25 and A10a or SU27 in mission generator and fast missions or is that only used by F15c.

Having flown sim games for the last 20 years,ranging from C64-amiga-pc games such as knights of sky,falcon1-4,gunship series,f117stealthfighter,European air war,aces of the paciffic,aces over europe,A10 tankbuster by sierra.All janes chopper and flight sims both modern and ww2.Il2 sturmovik series,and of course Lockon.And an avid fan of Rise of flight but i was in need for some groundpounding action,and had been looking a dcs A10 for a while-and decided to buy it. My first reaction was Sh1t thats a big manual and loads of buttons to remember.:book: Having some problem in the beginning what to assign where on the Logitech g940 system,but after some training missions and freeflight missions,the buttons where logical aranged and i was ready too try a real Mission. Heres the result off my first combat sortie in A10,the mission used was shooting gallery. starting on runway and set all master weapons on and begining to setting up maverick to align,and then racing down the runway with my trusting wingman.Speeding towards waypoint 2 all calm,some friendly units chatter away and giving there helping hand.. Towards waypoint 3,wingman alerting up! target 12-1 o clock.Ok so far- maverick up a and lock on a AA unit blam hes a gooner,locking on a new target and giving my wingman order to attack my target boom a another AA gone.Now my friendly a10 units whants move in on a piece of action,sure why not:P im now circulation outside the enemys field of fire and sending attack orders to my wingman,and then im rolling in with the cannon blazing on a soft target hes gone,looking back over my right shoulder i see aa fire coming at me:joystick: hard banking too the right and almost in stalling range the plane shudders from bullets that hits it.Whoooo im still flying,the mfd on left no longer working-ok all else is fine,turning around and seeing my wingman blowing one target up,and the friendly wing coming in and blowing something else up-my thought at this time is yeah this is so cool.Now im making my run on a tank shredding it to pieces with the cannon-doing a nice fly by:) looking back at burning targets,then good old buddy enemy AA fires on me again :helpsmilie:. Master caution starts shouting-left engine on fire,right mfd gone too,using the fire extinguiser and shutting engine down.The plane looks like swisschesse from the outside.Starting too counter trim the plane and heading for homebase losing some altitude and speed along the painfully long way home,mastercaution this and that ohh shut up.The base is now in Vfr range and im getting a felling i can make this,out goes the landing gear and flaps and base is getting closer.SNAFU the sole engine thats has been running starts to loosing power,with a happy smile i make landing but blowing the front tire in process-well i stop faster.. skiding down along the runway and coming to a halt,no use in trying to nose steer the plane to a parking stop.I shut the engine down and hit the end mission button.Fu.k Yeah i made it.There was even a little shinny medal from the CO.Looking at the logbook with a smile and starts up a new mission.......:thumbup:
