AWACS /CAP / KA-50/SU25/A10/Ect Any Present or future plans to look at AI AWACS specifically directing allied aircraft flying in multiplayer to cover Ground attack aircraft when enemy aircraft breach a specific threat circle surrounding the ground attack aircraft .

There is a wealth of knowledge out there in the community, that imho is unused, we have official appointed moderators, we have official appointed beta testers, I obviously might not see the whole picture but why not official online surgeries, basic flying Instruction to advanced,( on each study , obviously DCS partners would need to supply someone who knows their particular sim) and yes as you say mission editing doctors, Id like to add I feel there is a lot of unused servers out there and unused talent. Doesn't have to be someone who went to Mig 21 University ( as an example)but say an enthusiastic person who want to pass his or her knowledge on to get the most out of their purchase . I for one need help badly but feel as I am not in a squad( I do want to join one but cannot commit at the moment) I am at kind of at a loss, as the manuals are great for some people but not all.

Thanks Good post That was very informative, I feel there is no need now for anyone to add a post if it is to help me, but as a general discussion on this if anyone wants to contribute they can post to their hearts content, as far as I am concerned my post was answered.

I have downloaded Aries and plan to use it, can some kind person give me a link or point me in the right direction to some basic "what we have found so far" FAQ,s concerning using it alongside DCS / TeamSpeak Multiplayer. As I am not a member of any squad and do take advantage of the good members who supply open TeamSpeak/ multiplayer servers. I have no wish to upset anyone by using Aries, I actually printed out the manual and will read it as soon as my back injury has recovered from carrying it from the printer:book: Do I or should I at least inform and ask permission from the teamspeak squad server /renters Can it have a detrimental effect on the teamspeak 3 server I log on to ? Will my Aries interfere with non users in teamspeak (same Channel) other than my voice being distorted? Basically I am asking if will I cause a problem by using it, I'd rather not if it does. The manual sits on my desk mocking me for my inability to have the smarts to understand all but basic instructions. Thanks for any constructive information.

Thanks for all the replies, I did see the dates, but never saw one that confirmed the problem was fixed. you know the saying" Measure twice cut once"

I am considering buying the Thrustmaster Warthog, but have been reading some posts here and else where about a problem concerning leaving the device plugged in and the unit bricking, can I ask does anyone know if Thrustmaster have addressed this problem?,( as of march 2015) I just know Id forget to unplug the unit before shutting my PC down, and would hate to end up with a Bricked unit. Thanks in advance

Hi I am having the same problem, can I ask you to expand on the " Make sure BS1 is installed in the correct path, do I install it into the DC world folder or do you mean just make sure it installs to the C drive, I am confused by the " correct Path" statement" .( I am not so computer savy :cry:) Many Thanks

NP From the look of things you have already things going in the right direction with a wingman, but I will add there is a lot to be gained from joining a good squad,so don't stop looking, Some of the squads may at the moment not be taking any new recruits, but keep an eye on their web sites, anyway if its not being said before, welcome to the FC2,DCS world, although I usually fly the 25 and 50 If you see me on multiplayer give me a shout if you want a 3rd,

http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=34062 have a look, The only squad I know that fly the A10 exclusive is the http://www.virtual9thaf.com/ninth/ But I could be wrong.

If this has been covered please excuse my ignorance. Can someone from DCS say if you will be able to see pilots head move as in FC?, I mean we use the head movement for cue to takeoff when coms silent, also will I be able to choose my tail No in the A10c?. And finally, I love the " looking out of canopy effect" we have in the frog, what with the water drops and the curve of the glass, will the A10 be comparable?, for me the cockpit glass effect experiance in the KA50 is not as good, (however thats only my opinion and does not mean I dislike it ).

Hi Shackman I run FC2 in vista and speaking for myself have had no problems whatsoever ( other than a 90% rise in getting my a** handed to me from ground defences in the Su25..........lol ) And if you do have some problems(and as I am sure you know) this forum is alive with guys willing to spend time to help you, so Id give it a go.

That is one together band I am dumbstruck at the obvious rythmic atomic clock timing talent of that guy, the sheer god given talent is a marvel to see and hear, the band as a whole were a delight to listen too, ( even the cheesy suits....lol) Thanks for posting

Never thought anything other than that

Our collective chant for realisim has come back to Haunt us, I for one was suprised how difficult it is in FC2 to spot ground targets when flying the SU25A, ( Just Imagine how hard it is in the real world), but after a while I have started to adjust, and although I still get reamed more than I want, I have changed my tactics accordingly, and it is starting to work, the whole dynamics of FC has changed for the Bombers, Gather as much Intell on the target Area as you can. ( hopefully mission walla's will give more intell on the mission page for Bombers) Co-op when you can Choosing the correct hight for interdiction, Make your climb out from a known safe area( I use the weeds after attack untill back at IP) Use your initial IP to attack from Attack One Target at a time.

I cannot help but think that It would be a shame for DCS to drop any of the current aircraft they have in their arsenal in future products, after all the trouble they took to develop those aircraft to the state they are at the moment and the foundation/data is there to improve on.................................., If you get my drift :smilewink: Course who am I to say what DCS will do or not do, all I know is they have Improved/skinned up the SU25A, for a product that for all intents and porpose just had its Last patch.

Thought I would just post this to say the Hammers are still alive and Kicking but are now to be found at. http://www.vvs504.net/board/index.php?/index

I would have to respectfully disagree with you, untill we get back the full choice of munitions it is flying a comprimise, and I have found being forced to carrying some unwanted munitions into a mission that are as much use as man boobs, for the task given and imho its not unreasonable to ask for what we had in FC1.12b, I could see the point if we never had the choice, but I like to think that I have the right to determine what I put under my wings

My Next DCS Aircraft Wish? The Plain Old SU25, with all the buttons working and full 6 DOF what else?........;) Flying the Frog in FC2 is brilliant now, Imagine what it would be like in DCS along side the A10.

With due respect to your post , I would have to disagree in part, Bombers should have the right to change out, to what ever combination they see fit to use, I can see your point if the mission was for a time where a certain missile was not invented, but what if I want extra fuel?, or to carry all rockets, or just 2 missiles? as mission planner dont you think that you are maybe restricting a bit, better bombers get the full choice as in old FC1.12b, and then if the sever runs a 80s theme, then restrict the missile not the combinations. If you restrict on a blanket basis, you take away my individual right to fight the mission as I see fit at the time, I may want rockets for the 1st run or bombs for the 2nd run or a combination of those or just a rack of bomblets, Its not that I don't go for certain missions where you are restricted, I like them, but not to take away my choice for all missions.

IMO In The Vanilla: I find its the man pads are the most dangerous, pesky little Varmits are everywhere. Hanging s to good for em. Seriously, It is tough, but Its as they say work on the tactics....

DOH, Never thought about that before I posted my blurb:doh:well spotted

Although not exactly the same , I experience similar problem when on a( will supply to ed if requested) multiplayer server, after doing the "Inbound" and then asking and getting clearance to contact then tower visual,(AND YES I DO GO THROUGH THE PROCEDURE>>>lol) soon as I land it keeps repeating that even though I have taxied off and shut down engines, this has happend both times I have logged into the multiplayer server, I will add though the server is for me stable at all other times with no problems other than that.

Thanks for the reply:) I will certainly fly that one. I remember falcon 4 was good for tasking bridge blowing and such as well, Hopefully when Bs A10 comes you might get your wish.

Hi all server mission makers As Good as the missions are atm, Could I ask,....... whats the possibility to include static objects as part of the mission/s, I am thinking of Bridges, power stations, that sort of senario,FC2 scenery/ building/ infrastructure is brilliant and it seems a shame not to use it, There was a mission in BS, that envolved a power station bombing( although this was done by AI and Cruise Missiles) and Id love to do something like that, maybe even have 3 or more targets spread along (and back from the lenth of the) front line ( on both sides), that way the fighter area cap would be streched ( on both sides) and give the bombers a chance at some low level interdiction with some Iron, Just a thought.:smilewink:

Unfortunatly I did not write his name down at the time so only 80% sure, so better me not, but next time I will do it and let you guys deal with it, thanks for answering.
