So glad to have seen the previews! After six long years, and Kickstarter initial excitement! Wooo Hooo, yah ED!

Yeah, weird and anachronistic. :thumbup:

Just chiming in, same boat, original kickstarter here. Very grateful that ED picked this up and saved it for us. Those six years have gone quick, and we are so near! Already working out mapping my A-10 HOTAS to work as a throttle quadrant! Will be fun to finally flip the switches, tweak some levers, and hear her fire up!:thumbup:

Looks like you found the link for SSE 4.1 support, glad it worked!

I was getting this error: DCS A-10C Warthog by ED If player was hit by missile when in cockpit view, dcs frozen - fixed Latest patch fixed! Thanks ED!!!

Did you see the latest patch notes? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/ This fixed my issue, specifically: DCS A-10C Warthog by ED If player was hit by missile when in cockpit view, dcs frozen - fixed

:music_whistling:Replying, because Gerbil:megalol:

I am getting something similar, but with different module and circumstance. However, using the USS Theodore (CVN 73?) only, I get CTD or frozen screen when I am damaged from enemy boats while flying the A-10C on the Persian Gulf Map. This is a standalone simple mission I created. Once I take damage from enemy boat fire, screen will freeze in cockpit of A-10C, and sounds will continue in background, but DCS is unresponsive and never recovers. If I remove CVN 73 from the mission, this does not occur. If needed I can upload information. Just wanted to bolster your account that for my simple mission the presence of a CVN will cause DCS to lockup on aircraft (piloted) taking damage.

Odd man out, but just as relevant I guess. Command line install/updater. Launched, auto-login, no issues. Did a quick and dirty mission, flew around the Stennis, frame rate good. Quick check, all good. 2D Track IR user.

Sorry, was going off memory. Will stick with "upgraded" for future context, I should have left that out, since it was only a recollection. Whatever rolls off the "line", will be looking forward to it.

Sigh. Shows join date of 2013, I was flying on Steam in 2011. In that time, I have paid for the BS1 to BS2 upgrade. Will happily pay for the A-10C suite 3 to A-10C suite 7 (I think) for something I have flown with enormous entertainment and knowledge transfer for 8 years. If I get to keep the old one, cool, but as stated, mission designs might require the newer one, so before anyone gets twisted about that. I spend as much or more on the Borderlands titles in 3 years for DLC etc. than I spent on DCS in 10, and that includes a healthy garage of modules and WWII assets, and Combined Arms. I have spent more on ARMA I, II, III, more on Fallout and all it's iterations, many other titles. The amount of money I have spent on other more known titles far outstrips anything I have spent on DCS over an 11 year period, and it is THE only title that has kept me entertained that long. All these threads bashing DCS on this pay model, that pay model, development rollout, paying for this, and paying for that get old, really old. To top it off, they saved the WWII birds from another developer and ate a poo sandwich on that one, and I just wait patiently for our P-47D, because I know even after 6 years, it will be worth the wait. Spent a lot of money, on lots of gaming stuff over the years, ONLY DCS has kept pace with my interest, kept me devoted, kept me entertained long after many have faded. The number of upgrades to the original 1.5 and earlier, the number of modules added on, the amount of time I have spent in different airframes, tanks, lorries etc. under one title makes DCS literally the cheapest game I own for the content you get. A tad frustrated with all the complaints and insinuations of bad business practices etc. Apologies.

How are you being held hostage? It clearly states you can fly the current, until the new one is released. Then you get the new one at a discount. Same evolution we went through with the KA-50, from BS1 to BS2. The "prior" module won't incorporate or work with a lot of updates happening I imagine. Even if you got to keep the A-10C suite 3, and get the A-10C suite 7 (I think), why would you fly the older suite 3 version?

Seen the whole "like/dislike" up/down vote thing in online game forums before. What a screaming disaster. However, as a long time member (2012 Steam version, joined the forums in 2013), I can say the dynamic of these forums has changed, and for a good reason. There is a lot more chatter about ED/DCS doing right/wrong, good/bad etc. Personally, I tire of all the wailing and gnashing of teeth; however, it also indicates DCS is getting wider traction and a more active audience. The silver lining, the ying to yang so to speak.

You forgot reciprocating masses for piston engines, fluid, thermo and hydro dynamics of multi cylinder power plants. Damage modeling that is incorporating a multiplicity of failures encompassing electrical, hydraulic and mechanical systems that are completely different from their implementation in a modern fighter. It is like comparing apples to oranges when saying one is more difficult than the other. I am sure if someone had to design a Tesla from scratch, as compared to designing a 1969 Mustang Boss 429 from scratch, they would both be significant under takings. Difficult and time consuming each in their own way IMHO. Couple that with the time it took them to get actual drawings from the Smithsonian for the P-47 as none existed in the public domain. :smilewink:

Worth the wait, think we are at 6 years now as a Kickstarters when it first came out under a different umbrella. I will take what they drop in and be damn glad for it. EA, is EA (if that is first phase), and I will fly her per the manuals and note any findings. Their really is no comparison to "other" titles and being "driven" to them. DCS is sublime in it's immersion and EA will just be our chance to help improve it. Really looking forward to contributing anyway I can, and learning this module when she drops. Thanks DCS/ED, a long road, but worth it. :thumbup:

BIGNEWY confirmed, known issue, will be addressed in DM updates (not sure at what point), but will be addressed. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=271669

My apologies, sorry for the repetition. Thanks for the update.

I did anyway, just in case. Might have been wrong to do so, but they can just delete if redundant or already reported.

This thread has screen shots: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=269992&page=3 JU's taking damage once on the ground will lose wing sections and running gear, but continue to run, and stand on one leg. Attached picture. Thread referenced has more screen shots to reference.

After reading the Bug posting rules, this would be a good place to put this. I guess I can change the title? Here is a pic, of a running JU that was damaged after landing, standing on one leg.

Plenty to fly, and keep busy until things can get tested more. Good news. Last weeks patch noticeably improved frame rate.

I have seen the JU stand on one leg myself when hit and damaged on the ground. I guess we need to open a bug report!

Last weeks mini patch significantly boosted performance for me, on the most problematic of maps - Normandy - But I am a 2D with TrackIR user. I know some folks are still having issues in VR?

If you can capture this, and create a bug report, it might be helpful for the ED team. I have not seen it, but I will make an effort to observe. :thumbup:

Amazing, thanks for contributing this effort. Very interesting for the "ultra-realism" crowd. Much Appreciated.
