Currently I am using 3 modifiers on my joystick. I have 3 more buttons open for "modifying"... Currently mapped are: -Coolie Switch controls -DMS controls -Slew controls I can add 3 more controls.

Yeah I have already mapped the weapon controls properly. :) Stage 1 and gun buttons as well as weapon release. :) DMS TMS, China - set! :) Should I also use the "right" & "left" stuff? I mean once I got a modifier I can always use my coolie hat for that. Or is it not that important?

Thank you guys. Obviously this is not a "game", thats why the brackets are there, hehe. I spent the whole last night with the proper start up procedure, took off, had an awesome flight at 26000 feet and brought the baby safely back to the ground. :) Ah, lovely... I am starting to realize how important HOTAS is. In the navigation training mission it is used all the time to switch between different displays. I will definatively try to map that to my joystick. Are there any tips on what functions are MORE important and LESS important? I obviously do not have enough buttons on the joystick... :-/

Ah, I finally know what "HOTAS" means , haha! :-D Thank you so much guys, I thought it's some kind of display electronic radio thingy that I dont understand. But now I know! Thanks! Unfortunately the only modifiers I can use are alt, shift etc. No button from my joystick... I guess I will have to stick to keyboard trimming. :(

Thank you Fury! What are the exact commands for trimming and where to find them in the... HUGE controls matrix? Thank you in advance! I will follow your tips. :)

Thank you for the warm welcome! Haha, absolutely not man! I did not buy this "game" to just blow shit up! I can do that in other games. I really enjoy doing stuff "the right way" etc. I am currently struggeling with trimming... In the "taking off the first time" tutorial I am currently always fighting with the trimming, it pulls up too high... Am I correct that the trimming is done in the emergency control panel? Also - there is a "speed brake retract" option in the controls. Does it control the air brake? What key is that? Thanks a lot in advance again! I will totally pop on some server soon to check out what people do around here... :)

Hey folks! I always was a fan of realistic gaming & games. I used to play FS2004 back in the days, but nothing complicated... Basic flying & landing & missions etc. A few weeks ago I have stumbled upon this A10 simulation. The plane has fascinated me for a long time. The brutal ROAR of the gun, the simple "gun with wings on it" concept and it's full of electronics! I have the biggest respect for the company that has managed to put all of this awesomeness into a simulation... And I understand that once you have mastered it there is nothing more satisfying than flying with your buddies in a complicated mission and... BEATING it! I asked around below Youtube videos if I could play this "game" properly with a Saitek Cyborg Evo Joystick and I was told that I had to remember some keyboard shortcuts but I'd be ok. Well - I am just learning the very very very easy basics of this game. I have never seen so many switches at the same time! Big respect to everybody who put his patience to learn and really knows this stuff by now... I need some help. I am willing to learn this "game" but do I really need to study every detail of the manual before going into the action? Or is it enough to just look up what you need when you need it? Is there a way to view your own keyboard configuration when ingame and flying? Is there a way to change visual settings when flying? I currently have a 3.2 GHz Quad, a HD6870 and 4GB of ram, running WIn7 x64. I am still trying to dial in the right settings for my system. Any tips are welcome. Is there a "completely reset cockpit camera" key? The numpad 5 key works for some situations but sometimes after playing with the camera too much (hitting numPad 0, hitting numpad comma) I just can not go back to "default". Are there joystick layouts for download for the Saitek Cyborg Evo? Are there more, maybe "downloadable" tutorial/training missions? If I get any more questions into my mind... I will ask here. But for now - I really thank you a lot in advance guys. A lot of this is probably "read the manual"-material but I just wanted to say HI and add some questions... Have a nice day! :)
