Google translate is acting a little weird. Does this mean its confirmed we will get a AH-1W? Edit : I guess it is

DCS : Jetpack?

I think the closest you're gonna get to an aircraft carrier sim is Command : Modern Air/Naval Operations

After they've updated the su27 i guess they will start on the mig 29... Well that or the su 33 but i think the mig 29 is more likely becouse of the whole carrier situation with the Su 33

You can tell friend from foe by knowing what nations use what vehicles. I dont think the KA-50 has some sort of datalink like the A10 that marks friendlies on the map (i could very well be wrong though) It just takes time if you dont have any current knowledge on ground forces... all i can suggest is looking in the ME to see what kind of vehicles the enemy can use , then looking those vehicles up in the encyclopedia. Good luck I used to use the Create Fast Mission feature ALOT , its great practise to learn to spot enemies and generally work on your situational awareness and weapon employment (however it can feel like a target practise range at times becouse they just move a little and then don't do anything else)

I only learned how to ramp start VERY rcently , about a week ago , after a good year of playing the A-10. I did not find it important to know at all , compared to learning the weapon systems and in-cockpit software. However , now that i do know how to do it , i do it every time. It's just so rewarding and really makes you feel more immersed in the whole game.

Hello I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do the A-10 campaign (with CA) I'm currently on the first mission ... well , the first combat mission (CA Push 1-1). I have to protect 2 tank groups , Razor and Elm and have them move into Kobuleti. However , right now it just seems like what this mission REALLY is is "Kill everything in sight , then wait as the tanks move trough the town that you've cleared" I mean these guys seem to die to just about everything , from a single russian tank that somehow takes out a 4-tank group , to my guys randomly exploding when colliding with a bridge.... I would also expect them to say something like "taking fire!" when getting shot at. I am providing CAS after all... right now it just feels more like target practise then actually CAS. (Yes i know i can talk to JTAC but he can't see every enemy either) That's probably becouse of the nature of the DCS mission editor (gief dynamic campaigns <3) Also , the scripted AI flights you can call in , like the SEAD cover , CAP and CAS , don't do anything when i call them in. I do not get a radio message confirming i've called them when i use the f10 options , and i cannot assign them targets manually since i can only see 2 groups on the map , right near the edge of town (even though my units have line of sight on hostiles , they do not appear on the F10 map) In my "f10 view" settings i have "fog of war" ticked. I dont know if this has any effect on it , but i have edited the missions to have a playable second A-10 and am playing it trough with him. Does anyone maybe know of any really good A-10 co op missions/campaigns that aren't too hard? I'm at the level where i understand pretty much all the systems , but my wingman is pretty new... probably less then 24 flight hours. Thanks in advance. Mcblemmen

Is the mig 15 going to have a russian cockpit? If so , will there ever be an English one?

Thanks for sharing

If you're 100% sure you're locked on (flashing lines on mav page) the only thing i can imagine this being is master arm not being on

disable gunpac

Not everyone wants to have their tir clip on all the time though. My headset cable is about 5 meters and i often use it from my couch to watch movies or w/e The one problem i have with track clip pro is that i often have trouble looking at the bottom left , lfor example looking at the radio panel in the A10

This NEEDS to happen.. its so unrealistic. This is a simulator. Real pilots have great vision , and we are limited by screen resolution. The combination of those 2 makes it very unrealistic... They need to add something to make spottin easyer, it wouldnt be a cheat , it would just make the simulator more realistic

Why from LN? I'm all for more helo's in DCS but why from LN specifically?

Uh , no. Respawning and restarting the mission are not the same thing.

I eject alot mysellf (i always try to eject instead of crashing , just for the sake of immersion) But binding it to your hotas seems weird... there's plenty of buttons in the A10 that need to be bound but eject just isnt one of them imo. Its not a key on the hotas in the real thing either , is it? Personally i like having spacebar as eject , its easy to reach without having to look down to your keyboard and mashing it while going down just feels good xD Like you're reaching for the ejection... uh.. handle? Bar? Whatever it's called. Anyway sorry for the OT. Now to recover and have a bit of on topic : bind hotas pinky switch to something (use your joysticks pinky switch as modifier to double your available keys) but pinky switch is pretty important since it lases for bombs , enables NWS when on the ground , and resets your refueling port for A2A refueling. It may even do more then that , who knows?! Pretty brilliant design imo. (Its something i didnt realise for quite a long time when starting out in the A10)

Why would you bind eject to your hotas?

My answer isnt in the poll... I buy aircraft i would enjoy flying in a combat scenario , and if i dont know the aircraft i do research like watch some documentaries on youtube before deciding. Also it has to be modern. Dont want any of the WW2 modules , even the mig 21 is too old for me. Well , i guess i do own the huey ... but thats a little different , i dont have to fight against clearly superior aircraft when flying the huey.

I would also suggest a seperate zoom axis. However , if that's not an option for you , change the axis settings in the trackir software and change its sensitivity.

10.30 is now on steam http://steamcommunity.com/games/292180/announcements/detail/147814131161565574

No, not if its a real tanker like the KC135. But if its a combat jet that can be turned into a tanker like Buzzles said, i would love it. (cough F18 cough)

Thats becouse of the latest update to DCS:W

Hello I was wondering why exacly the A-10 trims down when you activate the gun pac , and if you're allowed to trim while gun pac is active to counter the downward force. Edit : Perhaps i should clarify , i mean the gun pac switch next to the master arm , not the first stage of the trigger. Also , is there a reliable way to use GBU 12's at low altitude? Mine seem to miss all the time even if i pitch down before release thanks

Sorry for the OT , but that clip... they don't seriously eject trough the canopy , do they? O_O Now for a little on topic : I would also like an A6 , while i dont know much about it , it looks like a great little plane for DCS that would fit in well. Noyt sure what the differences are , but i wouldnt mind an A7 either , that plane looks mighty fine. I dont think a big bomber like a B2 would fit in in DCS at ALL. That said i'd still buy day 1.
