Thanks, appreciate the info. Understand your confusion with my last question about the KA-50. I meant was the campaign the same as KA-50 1. So since I don't play multi-player, version 2 would not be a good buy for me since I already have 1.xx? So no single player action in WWII until Normandy maps. Do you know if that is something being considered, developed or a potential release date? Thank-you all for your feedback. Now I know what I am going to be purchasing. I love helicopters; so I will be purchasing the Huey and Mi-8 Oh, and BTW Kontiuka, if I want to turn the aircraft on the tarmac, it is a good idea to activate the nose wheel steering lol.

DCS: Bf 109 K-4 Kurfurst Does this package include campaign missions? I do not play multiplayer games. I know the P51 is more directed towards online play. and has simple campaigns. I am looking more for campaigns like in A10C or KA50 which are kind of story line or at least many challenging ones. DCS: Fw 190 D-9 Dora Same question. If there are campaigns, are they detailed like KA-50 or A-10C or simple like P-51. Does DCS: UH-1H Huey by Belsimtek have a clickable mouse? DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight by Belsimtek Does this have a clickable mouse and story line campaigns? DCS: Black Shark 2 Is the campaigns the same as Black Shark 2 or different?

This probably belongs in another forum... @Marluk I am using two controllers that makes up my HOTAS. They are both Logitech. G-13 and Extreme 3DPRO. IDK if it is an installation issue. Other than the folder Saved Games>DCS>Input, this is a clean installation.

Kontiuka, My problem with the Wingman is the bug you described. I cannot task him for guns if I want him to use other weapons later. I have another problem. I am starting a campaign the FAM flight. One out of two things happens. Either I start my engines and all is good; but my controllers wont work. Or I go to start my engines using auto start and they don't spool up. Do you know anything about t

Marluk, That was an interesting post I have already read. Thanks for letting me know it existed though :thumbup:. You did not know I was aware of it. I had been playing A10C enough to familiarize myself. I have not had the opportunity or reason to go above 20,000 in CAS yet. That would be nice if an update is going to correct Wingman, being able to to order him to use the gun that is flying or at least to let you know why he cannot engage. Kuntiuka had pointed out there is a bug that causes Wingman to not engage after tasking guns, IDK if this is what you are experiencing. It does seam so far that is what I am experiencing though. Too early for a difinative yes/no though. You probably already knew this.?.?.?

Kontiuka, So, I have played Quick Launch East Georgia Spring Easy and Wingman performed flawlessly. I didn't order him to use guns though. Next, I moved on to Quick Launch Russian Foothills Fall Easy, I had ordered Wingman to use guns, then rockets. Performed flawlessly. Afterwards I had asked him to use Missiles and got the same result, him running in and then rejoin formation. I quit that mission and restarted. This time I did not have him use guns, other than him floating out aimlessly into the north forty (I spent some time looking for one ground soldier), he refused to engage. He was hopelessly out of range though, legitimate reason to not engage. I called him back to formation and went a looking for him. After I had found my lost 'buddy', he performed flawlessly again attacking everything I tasked him to. I think my issue is this bug you speak of after ordering him to use guns. I will post again if I find other difficulties with Wingman, but for now this seems to be solved. Thank-you for letting me know about the bug with the Wingman being tasked after tasking to use guns. It looks accurate from what I have experienced thus far. I just wish that I can ask him to use guns.

Well, I had already Re-installed the game prior to this post, I really wasn't too far playing. I had not moved out of Quick Start or what ever its labeled. I am playing these prior to starting the Campaign for familiarization purposes. Starting over isn't too big of a set back and I was really careful when I placed the Config file so there shouldn't be any corruption there. I probably should add something to my profile, computers is sort of a hobby of mine. The issues I have seen with the Track though was buggy even with a very simple mission. Now that you mentioned about the wingman, I think every failure was when he was ordered to use guns . I will keep this in mind when I 'test'. I will test for both of guns and still exists. I didn't see anything in the saved file which would point me to that being corrupt, I have seen stranger issues though with software.

Sabre, Thank-you Kontiuka is correct though, that was the first thing I had looked at which had led me to believe I have a technical issue whether the 'technicality' is me or not. I do appreciate you providing the link though. Correction, I am not playing missions, I noticed the issue playing the Quick Action? Once I can recreate the scenario I will save a track and upload it. Hopefully I wont have to... If I am not able to recreate it tonight, it may be about a week before I can due to work. I had deleted all my saved files started a new game, and then added only the Config file from my previous installation {Don't want to set up my stick and G-13 again}. I have noticed some weird activity with the track recording things that didn't happen and such, so out of curiosity I was wondering if there is anything in my 'saved' folder that is corrupt or otherwise causing the complication.

Okay, so after attempting to re-create the scenario, and save a track; I started to experience weird track activity such as a death that didn't occur, and an end to mission that didn't happen. I started thinking; {I understand that a track is not stored in the profiles until it is created} what if I do have corruption? In my Saved games folder. Since I just reinstalled the platform, I am deleting my saved profile and starting over. Thought I would give this a try before asking you what do you see me doing wrong. Hopefully this will be the end of that. If not, I will post another comment when it is recreated or I will indicate that it is not re-creatable. The only file I am keeping from my C:>User Name>Saved Games>DCS is everything saved in the Config file. Hopefully that is not the source of corruption; if there is any present.

I have been watching what he has been doing, after he agreed to rejoin, I was in level flight, he has about a 10 degree nose up angle, just to my starboard. I thought maybe he hasn't joined formation yet, let it run 3 minutes at about 16xs time, and he is still in the same position. Don't know if this has anything to do with it. Again, I have never received a joined formation.

I have searched a few forums on Wingmen not engaging, and have not found anything helpful. I cannot find any reason my wingman wont engage, I have even tried reinstalling, that helped for about a day. He will say roger, approach target as if on a run, at the point he should say engaging or weapon away, he says rejoin. cannot be my system, everything is well above minimum requirements. I am playing single player missions on the Hard lvl (only one). Going up against SPAAA Zsu-23's at an altitude of 10,000+ asked to use guided bombs, just started bingo fuel=no, radio is correct, weapons are full (wingman at least) asking for correct weapon usage, in range, checked the score page and F-2 wingmans aircraft (not cheating if you cannot ask), no sign of damage, hasn't even been hit, he is not RTB, Cant use mission editors in single player "Missions", Set SPI to broadcast, also set SPI to not broadcast, Ive asked him to rejoin formation and it appears he has (had never announced rejoined before/after install). Does anyone know what I am missing, or is this just how the AI works? He has hit everything I ask using guns/rockets.

Sorry, don't know why this was duplicated.

Kontiuka I appreciate your reply, somehow I was afraid that was my answer. Chief1942 WILCO sounds like something I will keep in my mind. Good hunting and safe landings to all.

Is there a way to determine why? Understand that this is an older thread, and there are reasons why Wingmen wont engage. But is there a way to determine why they wont other then looking for signs as to radios, health etc? Like a simple couple of commands I have missed somewhere. Sorry if off topic, could not find a better post to put it on, also relatively new to formums.

Well my monitor measures 48" 16:10. I have went through about all the display settings, my eyes are starting to get old, but I am not squinting yet lol. the graphics is just too small to even see targets, and smoke markers are barely noticeable. I had a couple settings that brought things in a little closer, but it was too low of quality to make it worth while. I am zooming in too far, that its impractical cant keep the aircraft steady. If I could get it to display like in the training videos, that would be great. Even if the quality was that poor. I could at least see what was going on. IDK if there are some hidden settings somewhere I am not finding or what :wallbash:

Anyone have an Idea? Currently playing the A-10A, but probably translates to all aircraft of FC3. I have a 1920x1200 16:10 monitor. When I put this as display options, the graphics are sharp, but the detail is so far away, I cant even see any ground targets or read the object labels even if I zoom. The HUD Is so small, I need to zoom quite a bit before it could be read. I use the cockpit view. Anyone know of a resolution/ ratio combination that works well for gameplay and does not look so distorted? I don't mind much if I loose too much graphics but... I don't think it matters, but my GPU is Raedon HD6850 1024MB

Sorry about the duplicate.

Okay that's cool, similar to a ground unit tracer belt. I do appreciate the detail to my question. And yes, Silent Gun I will be checking out the F-16C but not anytime soon. I still have the entirety of FC3 and A-10C to go through. (Looking for campaign missions, that's why I am going to play both versions of the A-10.)

Okay I gotcha SilentGun. So unlike the KA-50, which is loaded with both round types standard, in the A-10A it is a load option of one or the other. I was thinking I wasn't accessing half of my ammo.

Thanks Speedbrake. Somehow I was afraid that was going to be my answer. If anyone can answer, what is the control name for switching from AP to HE rounds, and fire suppression for the A10A (assume for all FC3 aircraft if available) I would be appreciative.

I am relatively new to DCS and have only played KA-50 1.01. Does the clickable Cockpit function in this aircraft, or any other aircraft in FC3? There are certain functions, that I simply don't want to map and would rather just point and click. Also, I see functions on the 'dash' which I cannot find in controls for such as the Fire Suppressors. Second, I seen in the training video for Guns and Rocket pods, there should be a standard load out of armor piercing rounds and High explosive rounds. I don't find any controls to map my gaming pad, and in KA-50 arcade mode, I didn't either and had to resort to clickable cockpit. I may be ignorant, but so far, I am disappointed with this game. And hope it is my lack of understanding. Thanks, for any advise that could be given. Sorry if too wordy.
