Thanks puddlemonkey. that was the problem. Cheers Ron

Hi, Installed and ran DCS World with the CA and A-10C modules. Ran OK with no problems. Went for a flight today and on clicking on the icon I got a black box flash on the screen and nothing else happening. Uninstalled and then reinstalled but nothing changed. Not made any changes to my system and also started up a number of services but again no change and it didnt run. My A-10C 1.1 version still runs OK without any problems which appears a little strange. Given that I'm getting no clues as to why it wont start up can anyone suggest what I could check. Thanks Ron

Yep, that was the "problem". Changed to Sim Mode and managed to get to 30000 without too much hassle. As a check I levelled out at 18000 and max speed was 200kts and rising. Even at 30000 I managed more speed than in game mode at 18000. Thanks to 159th Viper for the heads up and to the rest for the support and ideas. Cheers Ron

Thanks 159th_Viper, wilco re sim mode. Will try it now. (Had been using game so I could get used to the aircraft and the systems)

I know I'm too slow, thats the point I've been trying to make. Look on that track, at the end I level out and run for a while at 18000 ft and the speed never increases much above 163 kts. Now according to Eddies information I should be climbing at or around 180 kts but I can't get the aircraft to go that fast. On what everyone saying I should not run out of steam like that should I?

One track as requested. Got up to 18000, throttles as far forward as my system would allow. Level flight, no payload and by then down to 9900lbs fuel. By this time my IAS was 163kts after 5 min level flight. climb.trk

Unusally for me I have been reading the manual and climbs have been around 170-200 kts. When I've got to around 15000 the speed has fallen to a low figure and the nose angle is about 2.5 degrees, any higher and she stalls. Again at that height the rate of climb is barely 500ft a min. Cheers Ron

Just purchased A-10C and very pleased however I find that I can't seem to get the performance from the aircraft I would expect. On an aircraft just with internal fuel I can only get it up to around 17000 ft and no further before she stalls. I notice that the throttle did not seem to go fully forward and the fan speed indicator never rises above 82 percent. I've tried another joystick where the throttle appears much better but still only get climbs to 17000 before running out of power. When looking at the throttles in the game it looks like they dont go to the far end of the available movement but even the keyboard command wont pust it further. Have I got a problem or just missing something out? Thanks Ron
