I purchased A10C from steam last week. Today I installed DCS world to 1.25 and the A10C module (1.25). When I try multiplayer or any single player option for A10C I get prompted for serial number, I copy paste from steam but get the following error: The system requires the correct Serial Number of the application to perform this operation. The Serial Number entered is wrong or mistyped. Enter a valid Serial Number and try again. Do I need to submit a trouble ticket?

This was part of our premarital discussions. I was getting a high end laptop capable of playing even the most demanding simulators. I was buying the TM warthog to help me learn to fly in real life, or so was my rationale. I already have the track IR from my bachelor days... I only need to sell her on some pro rudder pedals.

What happened to iwarthog ? I downloaded this app on my ipad mini a while back, but unfortunately it's toast. Trying to use it on my wife's ipad but when I try to download , get popup this app is no longer available for download. Did it get pulled?

After lurking on the site for a long time, I finally bought the a10c off the steam sale. It's all your fault for hyping it up. Hope you're happy, because I recently got married and I realize this will be my mistress for a long long time! PS I can't play it yet until I get my new Sager laptop (need laptop due to my traveling) and will be getting the HOTAS warthog of course.

Isn't glowing aamram a video production consultant for DCS? If so then this MIGHT mean the F/A 18 is actually a DCS project? CAN I HAS THE SUPERHORNET?

Hi all, Hoping to have my rig and DCS modules ready in less than a month. Have a few questions regarding multiplayer. To start I will probably be getting A10c and CA. So most of my time will be spent learning about the sim. But I know how much I love multiplayer (both coop and PVP) team play, so I think at least 50% will be spent playing MP. I noticed some really cool events happening but one thing I noticed was unit selection for both teams. Now I haven't ever played FC Russian planes, but i was always under the impression, that they have corresponding versions to any NATO AC and in the end it will usually always end up that experience and training will usually determine e outcome of an engagement between similar A/c. F15 vs su27 F16 vs mig29 A10 vs su25 (I mean to compare ese two in terms of ground support roles) So far in most of the events I have seen red side given F15s even though the SU27 should be the Russian "version" of this fighter. I understand the the US usually have better avionics and electronic modules in their A/C and AFVs, but in this sim are the Russian units that much inferior that to have balance we have to mix AC to with OPFOR? I played a ton of WWII online and in each tier there was always a side which had better units, but yet it was part of the fun and made the underdog have to coordinate that much better to gain the upper hand. If the allies were ever given 88s and Tiger tanks to help even out a campaign, I never would have played for so long. Ido intend to join again since its such a great game when with a good squad. A while ago, there was a patch that basically killed the game for me so I played a little world of tanks until the bug was fixed, but I could not stand seeing all the same models being played by bi sides until one day I uninstalled it. I hope that is not what I will be seeing in MP I the DCS world. Any input would be appreciated

Ok great advice everyone. And quick! I do realize that with the mfd there will be inputs, but I am hoping with icontrol, everything can be done through ipad and HOTAS. I can't wait to start training!

So I will be getting a new Sager laptop NP9570, and will mainly be playing fsx, Arma2/3, wwiionline and definitely want to learn everything about the DCS series, primarily CA, FC3 and A10 (would love the AH64!) I am living in Brazil, and will be travelling back and forth to Canada so the laptop is the only way to go for me. I played lockon when it first came out, but was too buggy for my liking. A couple of years later I bought FC1 but was sorely disappointed in then campaign (remember the save game bug which rendered all enemy units in-identifiable) which left me too frustrated to play any other aircraft. But I have been extremely excited about this new series and believe it is a huge leap forward, so I will be ready in a month or less to give it a go. For now I am basically reading up on it but I do have a few questions. 1 is it advisable to get FC3 and CA first to get a feel for the sim, then move on to the A10 module (and possibly black shark)? 2 in learning FC1 it didn't take too much time to master most of the controls and felt comfortable to start the campaign after a few tutorials. Will the A10 sim be soo much more complicated, that you have to basically forget how you fly it in FC3 and learn anew in A10? I hope I am making sense . 3 I would be interested in joining multiplayer (with CA) and join a squad, how dynamic can the game get online? Average number of players (OPFOR) etc? I loved playing arma since OF and the multiplayer rocked! In Arma2 I prefer coop but in DC world I'd love to see rather large battles. 4 HOTAS warthog. I already have trackir5 so I know the warthog is the next must have. Once set up, how much keyboard and mouse input would be required? I prefer to have everything bound to Joystick (currently only have Logitech 3d). In FC1 I had the targeting slew bound to mouse so it actually went rather well, but I believe almost everything can be bound to the HOTAS in this game. I think dual throttle setup and all the programmable buttons would be good to fly fsx without ever touching the k/b. my only gripe would be no twist control on the stick, which would probably force me to get some rudder pedals, and yes I realize there was no twist rudder control on the stick IRL. 5 external MFDs. I have an ipad mini and my wife has an ipad 2, I am planning on get the icontrol for ipad but was also wondering about the cougar mfd pack. They come with cardboard inserts, but what would they do? Are they mainly extra keys to interact with the on screen mfd? Do they give any lead read outs? Icontrol gives you several panels for which you can swap, but would it be worth getting both? Thanks for your time in replying, and will start to be more active as my time to takeoff approaches
