I have the ThrustMaster Hotas X joystick Does anyone use this item and recommend a specific configuration especially any curve or deadzone? Also is there any training missions for the new beta F-15C for DCS World? Thanks

Disregard. Found thread that explains and fixes this issue.

Hello, I uninstalled my previous version of DCS A-10, then installed DSC Word and the new module for DSC A-10. When I go to the default training missions, I don't get any sound from instructor voice regardless of what mission I try. Please let me know if I did something wrong. Also, when I reinstalled the A-10, I did not get an activation screen to enter serial number. Thanks

Yes!!! Got it working!!! Now I am going to have to get some rudder pedals so I can control the nose steering on the ground. Til then, I will try just using ailerons wiht nose wheel steering off. Thanks a million

That worked!! Now if I can get the wheel brakes to map to the paddle button on the Hotas Warthog controls, I will be set. Thanks

Tried it and nothing Thanks

When I click on the file name on the first post, it takes me to the user files downloads in DCS website. I click the download button and all I get is the file w/ .man extention. It is the same with the other downloads I listed above.

Downloaded BFT1, 2, 6, and 9. All I get is .man files not .miz nor .zip. What do I do with this? Using Internet Explorer. Also, tried using the default startup training. Get APU system running fine; however, when told to place the left throttle to idle, nothing happen. Waited for a minute and fan nerver spooled up. Not sure I waited long enough, but none of the engine gauges were doing anything. Please advise

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog rec'd!!! It is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to put it to use to start learning the DCS A-10. I tried to map the paddle (button 4) to the wheel brakes. Tried this in axis commands, game, and simulation menus, no dice I can't even get the wheel brakes to map to a button on my CH Yoke. Also, am I suppose to map the command button to "Wheel Brakes" or "Wheel Brakes On/Off (which sounds to me, is the parking brake per say)". Has anyone had this problem before or am I doing something wrong? I am making sure I have everything covered before starting to learn DCS A-10. Man, the Warthog controls really are a different feel than you generic joysticks, but cool!!!!!

Thanks for the information, FreeFall. Thanks to everyone for helping me understand these things. I do have one other question while awaiting Warthog controls. I downloaded the Alaska A-10 package. I placed the dds files in the temp texture like it stated, but it doesn't show up when I go to change liveries in mission editor then payload screen. What did I do wrong? Thanks again everyone!!!

Great!!! Thanks for the information. Can't wait to put it to use.

First, I want to thank everyone for the welcome to DCS Forum. Most importantly, I wish everyone and their families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to reply. Everyone has posted great information and will indeed be a tremendous help for when I receive my Hotas Warthog controls. I feel that everyone has answered my questions up to this point, so screenshots are not necessary; however, do appreciate members willingness to post them. I am glad DCS developed and produced the A-10 simulation. I was looking for a very good combat simulation since the days of Jane's USAF which I can't play any longer do to a new Windows 7 system. I am looking forward to what DCS will release in the future. Found a new home for my combat simulation interests. Thank you to everyone who replied to me!!! Can't wait for my unit to arrive and get to learning the A-10. Growing up, the A-10 was my favorite combat aircraft. "Allie's best friend, Enemy's worst nightmare"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I currently have the Thrustmaster Hotas Wharthog on order and should receive it by Wednesday. I was wanting to know if someone uses this controller with DCS A-10C who perhaps can give screenshots or information on the best realistic settings and configuration for this game. More specifically what dead zones if any, curve settings, and button assignments to get the best realistic settings. Also, is the settings and configuration done within DCS game options menu or done on the Thrustmaster software? I am doing as much research as possible by the time the controller arrives. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Perry Fincher
