Hello everyone,
I acquired DCS A-10C on steam this past weekend. I'm mainly a first person shooter player (BF3 primarily). I haven't seriously played any flight games since the seriously arcade-y Novalogic games like F-16 Multirole Fighter. :music_whistling: Before that I had fiddled around with Microprose's Gunship series and even before that, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat. :pilotfly:
I'm really loving A-10C; the level of detail is satisfying to me even though this is my first "study" simulation. Plus it makes flying in Battlefield look pretty silly.
Needless to say, I have not invested much in flight game peripherals so I've been rolling with a basic microsoft joystick and keyboard controls. Will HOTAS be a good investment for long term enjoyment of A-10C? If so, any recommendations? I'm aware of the Thrustmaster Warthog, but I'm not sure I'm ready to spend quite that much!
Also, when I fly in the training missions the aircraft seems to like to pitch up to 10 degrees or more with no control input?:helpsmilie:
Thanks!
