So there are maps other than Georgia/Russia? Where do I find them?

So does most everyone just run DCS World? I've been operating the Steam A-10C version and everything has been fine. Even the training missions all have worked correctly so far. Is there some advantage to World? Note that I'm a long way away from being comfortable for multiplayer.

Yes, well the instructions don't say to drop the folder there, just the files. Anyway, now that I've got it responsive in game, I'm finding it to actually be more infuriating than when it didn't work. First, how do I completely reset the view? In the FacetracknoIR keyboard settings there are options for "center" and for "game zero", but they don't work like I want them to. What I want to be able to do is reset the view to be where it normally would when you start: not zoomed, level, and facing forward above the pilot seat. What happens to me so far is that it works well for awhile but then the view gets completely locked to some weird-ass angle like looking directly at the pilot's seatback, and rolled 90 degrees! And I can't get it back. How do I do that? What do the "center" and "game zero" buttons do? And why can't I just use mouselook (which is disabled) or the camera-rotating buttons (which only move the camera so long as the keys are depressed) to fix it? Second, I'm getting the exit-game crash now. With FacetracknoIR, when I try to QUIT from in the game, DCS crashes. This wouldn't be a problem except that it skips the mission progress screen so I don't think it will tally my progress. Is there a quick fix for this? Thanks for listening to my problems.

Woa I think I may have figured it out! Earlier I had copied the three files inside the downloaded API file directly into the /bin. This time I tried copying the FOLDER inside the downloaded file that contains those three folders into the /bin. So I have /bin/headtracker/ and now I'm in the game and appear to be able to look around. Now I've just got to learn how to get my Curves to be helpful.

If there is an API DLL that's for standalone A-10C and not DCS World I can't find it.

Facetracknoir is making DCS:A-10C crash at launch! Help please. I installed DCS:A-10C through Steam after purchasing during the Steam holiday sale. I just bought a Thrustmaster Warthog but before I install that I'd like to get facetracking working. First, I installed Facetracknoir 1.6 today, then checked that my webcam was compatible and working with it correctly. Then I downloaded and copied the three files in the Eagle Dynamics API interface DLL (64-bit) into my A-10C/bin directory. I then ensured Facetracknoir was tracking me and then tried starting up the test missions but the sim keeps crashing. I can load into the menu/config application, but whenever I press start and A-10C 1.1.1.1 loads up, it gives me a "DCS has stopped working" message. If I move those three files out of /bin the sim loads but there is no facetracking. I checked that DCS.exe is not marked with the *32-bit comment in processes and is running the 64-bit version. Has anyone else resolved this before? Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-Bit 5.1 Windows Experience Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2GHz 8GB RAM NVidia GeForce GT 555M

Hi, I'm new to DCS & A-10C and just got it on the holiday Steam sale. What hardware is necessary to enjoy the game? Reading several reviews, watching lots of videos, and reading some of these forums have gotten me very excited to play, but I don't have a joystick at all and the last flight sim I played was ancient. So what do I need to do? Are there any joysticks other than Thrustmaster Warthog that will make learning the game possible and easy, or must I go all in and buy that awesome beast? Apparently I need to get some kind of track IR or webcam tracker, right? How about pedals and things? I've never used anything but keyboard, mouse, and (crappy $30) joystick.
