I have Saitek pedals and I'm having an issue with the brakes. It looks like there is no left and right brake, it seems that both sides are applied simultaneously?? Those of you using pedals how did you map the brakes?

Thank You!

I realize this is early access but I thought I'd ask about docs?

OK LOL that's funny I have pre-purchased the Spit Cheers

I'm wondering if anyone can give me a couple of sentences summarizing where this is at please. Is it still possible to participate as a backer?

I'd like to add commands to change the view, External, Weapon, etc and back to Cockpit for the A10C. I've taken a look at the profile but I'm not exactly sure where to add the new commands. Any suggestions? Thanks

Question about this mission. I watched Recon's video of the mission and he re-starts the right engine. When I flew the mission I was told by the FE to land with the engine out. Was there a change in the mission since Recon made his video which was a couple of years ago?

Hey Sabre, I should have gotten back to you earlier but you were correct, I had been playing the previous version. I had both installed, I had thought the new would have over written the old version. All is good now. Thank you for your most excellent support!

Sabre I have discovered something else that may be the problem. I noticed that I actually have the BFT Campaign listed twice in the Campaign Screen. I uninstalled as you suggested. When I return to DCS and go to the Campaign screen after the uninstall its still listed? If I open Module Manager a prompt appears telling me I can install the BFT Campaign. Prior to having the BFT Campaign as an ED DLC I had purchased directly from MFM. I later upgraded to the ED DLC. If I view my installed programs in control panel I don't see any MFM programs. If I install the module again in module manager it appears twice in the campaign screen. So should there be two instances of the BFT in the Campaign screen?

I will try the practice mission and the shutdown mission and report results. What is the proper procedure to uninstall the DLC to completely remove the files? The Humvee goes past the airliner but not nearly as far past as it does in Recon's video of the mission. When the Humvee stops I do but nothing happens, if I move closer I get the "To Close" warning and then that's it Uqual after a waiting period.

Sabre here is the latest: 1 - I disabled all mods. 2 - Ran DCS Updater Repair on ver 1.5.4 3 - Updated to DCS 1.5.5 4 - Confirmed video driver is up to date I have GTX 970 5 - Ran BFT-01 same result as above. Complete startup OK taxi to parking area, lead vehicle stops I stop noithing happens, pull ahead a bit and get warning, sit and wait then get a failed message. Here is the link to the track: http://www.filedropper.com/bft-01crackerjacktrack2 Any ideas please let me know. When I ran the mission I only had TrackIR running. I tried the F10 to get the startup check earlier but I get the map view?? Does it make sense to remove the BFT Campaign and re-install? Cheers!

Sabre thank you for taking a look at the track. That's really odd I never left the taxiway! I always keep my video card drivers up to date. I do have some mods installed I'll disable them and give it a try again and report back. Cheers!

There are a couple of A10C DLC campaigns available plus a few created by the community. I'm familiar with the A10C and its systems but far from being an expert I still have to frequently look things up in the manual. I'm looking for a campaign recommendation that would not be overly difficult but provide a fun way to enhance my skills. Thanks!

Tried this yesterday for the first time. Great training tool! Is there a way to trigger the flares or do they trigger randomly?

I attempted BFT-01 again and this time the instructor never even asked me to do the shut down sequence. Mission stopped with a U. Followed the vehicle and stopped when it did in the parking area and just sat there. Moved ahead a bit and got a "You're to close" warning and then mission ended. I have the track but its 17MB, when I try to split it into smaller zip files I get an Invalid File message when I try to attach the files. Here is a link where you can get the trk file: http://www.filedropper.com/bft-01crackerjack

I have the checklist and I've verified that I complete all the mandatory items. I was running from the campaign screen there was not option to save track?

I have the BFT installed as an ED DLC. I've been getting stuck at the shutdown. After the Instructor says that he is verifying my shutdown sequence there is a long pause and then a message appears that says unsatisfactory performance. There is no mention of any item being missed. I've gone through this 3 times in a row and its always been the same outcome. Get U on shutdown but no indication why. Any ideas? I'd really like to move on to the next stage.

Thank you Capt for the Radio Fix! I did notice however that the ILS Power knob does not work. I can switch on/off on the touchscreen but the sim position does not change. Can anyone else confirm the issue with the ILS Power?

I've read through some threads on setting up Helios on the A10C. There are a number of config files that need to be edited I was wondering if it makes sense to set this up as a JGSME mod? ie copy the files edit them and then implement them using JGSME.

Donated! Thank you Starway!

Has this fix been released yet?

Wags, just tried Mission 3 again, this time I taxied at 1545 and took off at 1548 as per mission brief. The rest of the flight however remained at Nellis so there is something more than an ATC issue. Can this be looked at please?

Thanks Wags, I wasn't aware of the issues with the ATC. I'll give it another go.

Attempted Mission 3 just now. Briefing says to expect chocks away at 1545 and takeoff 1548. I called ATC several times requesting Taxi Clearance but no response. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?? I would have thought that we need to hold until taxi clearance is granted.
