Well I can vouch for the F-5. My 6 year old daughter had a go on the simulator for the first time yesterday and put on an air show [emoji2]. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

@ ex81 : Yes that's exactly what I'm after, just dumb empty planes flying around so I can practice using the radar etc to intercept and shoot with AIM 9 till I can do it well enough to go up against normal foes. I did work out how to place an empty aircraft on a new mission last night. Just refining it over the next few days. @feefifofum : excellent, thanks for that. I'll give it a whirl over the next week. It's a fair learning curve to go back to the rudimentary avionics after being pampered with TGPs and SADLs etc. Thanks Guys for the advice. Cheers Dave Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Gday Folks, I just purchased the F5E and flew it in NTTR. What an awesome and fun aircraft to fly. Now I want to start learning how to use the radar and weapons but other AI aircraft shoot me down quite quickly. Is there a simple mission available or can be made to just have a couple of "empty" aircraft flying around so I can practice using the avionics and weapon employment (AIM9s)? A couple of ground vehicles could also be added to practice A2G (hopefully they won't shoot back either [emoji2]). I am not very confident with using the mission creator at this stage so any advice would be welcome. Thanks in advance Dave Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Well, the last time I checked dcs world 1.5 before this latest update the ALT HOLD worked fine. I think this latest 1.5 update has copied the bug in from dcs world 2.0. I haven't had a chance to update to the latest 1.5 and confirm. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Excellent, thanks for the info. Cheers! Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Yeah I agree. I think a bug has definitely crept back into the FM as this was reported a few years ago in the original dcs theatre. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Yes, that's it. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Hey Folks, please excuse my ignorance, what is SRS Radio? Is that a plugin like TS3? Cheers, Dave Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

I think the map may have a typo and show the elevation in meters instead of feet. I reported this for dcs 2.0. Nellis AFB actual elevation is about 1830 feet or there abouts, but map (F10) shows 1830 meters when you click on the airfield icon. A correct QNH setting was consistent with elevation in feet. Edit: I have just looked up the elevation of Nellis, it is 1867 feet. I am sure the F10 map says 1867 meters. Cheers Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Yeah definitely a .trk file. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

A work colleague of mine just recently discovered that Samsung Magician software potentially reduces and/or disables VRAM in an effort to lengthen the life of its SSD's, including M.2 drives. So anyone running this software should check their O/S virtual memory settings. I did this and haven't had a memory issue since. I am running 12gb ddr3 ram on an X58 board. Cheers!

Yeah, I have a track saved, but I have no video editing software to cut out the first 20 mins of me doing a cold start up

Hey Folks, just bumping this thread as I have just started noticing this problem again in the latest version of dcs 2.0 open alpha, the a10c commences a worsening dutch roll when ALT only is selected on the auto pilot and engaged. I have never had this before. I have checked all axis commands in game for the TM Warthog, and the RCTRL + ENTER screen showing no inputs from HOTAS or Saitek combat rudder pedals. I also tested in latest version of DCS 1.5 and all worked properly with no dutch roll on any auto pilot selection. I used the same key profile in both. It seems this is isolated to 2.0. When selecting the ALT hold on a constant bank angle, it appears the auto pilot keeps searching to hold that point with increasing inputs which makes the dutch roll get progressively more violent. Has anyone else experienced this in the new version? Cheers! Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Hey doright, Yes I noticed this too. Latest updates applied. Cheers Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

No probs at all. Had a great time, in fact a fond memory was the last time the F-111s deployed to WA before they were retired. I was fortunate enough to get a photo sitting in the pilot's seat. What a machine..... it could have been them you heard lol.. I know they loved flying the scenic routes around the coasts at very, very low altitudes.....

Beautiful skins Hugh. Great work. I saw a few of those come in for various exercises. Cheers, Dave ex RAAF ATC, Pearce Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

IIRC the gull wings were designed to accomodate the huge propeller on the f-4u. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Wow!!! Great job getting that bird back on the ground. What's holding the AIM-9s on? Must be the wiring :thumbup:

Ok thanks cich and goodnight. I thought that may be the case but wasn't quite sure. Cheers and Season's Greetings to all.

G'day Folks, I'm trying to get the TM Warthog HOTAS Throttle flap switch (UP/MVR/DN) to work in the game but can't find a key binding for MVR to assign that button for A-10C. I can only find Flaps Up and Flaps Down. I'm not using TARGET at all. I found this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=63164&highlight=flap+key+assign Is this what I'm meant to be doing?? I'm just not that confident going into config files etc.... :helpsmilie: Many thanks in advance! Dave

Military ATC for 8 years in the RAAF in Towers and Radar. Now a Reservist in the Radar environment. Moved over to civilian ATC about 3 years ago working in a secondary airport Tower, so I do shift-work but the hours are quite good.

Many thanks Strut, great work!

Dooyar, This is what I did (I had a paid for version 1.1.1.1 A10-C) running Win7 64. 1. Uninstall A10-C, but don't do anything with your registry. 2. Delete any saved games etc 3. Download DCS World and install. 4. Download A10-C 1.2.0 module (approx 700mb) from DCS website. 5. Run installer. Your registry should pick up that you had a previous version of A10-C and work. I had no need to buy new copy or put in previous activation key. Hope this helps, :thumbup: Cheers! Snpusher

Many thanks Phantom, Yes, just found the instructions after I got home late last night. Sorry, jumped the gun a bit with my questions :doh:. Cheers!

G'day Strut, Brilliant work on the skin and many thanks for sharing :thumbup:. I have always thought the RAAF needed a couple of squadrons of A-10s. Will be downloading after work. I haven't imported add-on skins into DCS before so is it difficult and does this skin work with DCS World - A-10C ver 1.2.0? Cheers! Snpusher
