    This needs to get documented in the manual!

    On the to-do list 🙂

    SRS does not adjust the volume of the ARC-210 channel selector when in a menu.

    @Ciribob is this something you can add for the A-10C II?

    I did inform @Ciribob about it back in time, but it might have slipped his attention.

    There was an update for this: when in the menu, the channel selector dial works as volume.

    no need to be in a specific menu, just open it, and close it when done.

    This works for the AI comms. Not sure if SRS picks it up.

    A-10C II Datalink

    in DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer

    The implementation like it currently is, gives you 2 options:

    1. you set things up in the ME and let DCS manage the network for you.  this does not allow you to change group from the cockpit.  Well, you can, but your expected flight members will not show up as blue symbols.
    2. you remove all FM settings from the group (from all aircraft in the group) on the Network tab in the ME.  That way you can change group in the cockpit like you have been used to

    Practically, there's no difference between the 2 at this point in development.  You will see all SPI shares, from anyone.  Donor or not.

    So for max flexibility in MP, and have the same function as before, go for option 2.

    If you want to hardcode FM groups, and their network settings, go for option 1

    A-10C and C II possible error with DTSAS.

    This is because they are in an area for which the terain data was not loaded into DTS.

    In DCS you can have the same if you are outside the loaded map are.

    The center point of the digital map data is an average of all waypoints, it is computed once at mission start.  From the center point, in DCS, DTS covers 450km.

    Screenshots from attached mission:

    We load offmap (+450 km from the WP's centerpoint).

    Offmap is flashing, and we have no elevation data.

    Press UFC ENT, to acknowledge.  OFFMAP will be replaced by NODTS, and XXXX will be shown for elevation.

    Pressing the UFC DATA rocker, the elevation field will start flashing.  With SEL datarocker, you can select (scroll) to the desired elevation, or you enter the elevation on the scratchpad. With UFC ENT, you confirm the selected elevation ( HOT elevation).

    Later on, when you are within covered map area again, you can use the DATA rocker again, to switch bak to DTS elevation data.

    CDU/TAD copy function

    in DCS: A-10C II Tank Killer

    Posted · Edited by Stuka

    New in the Hog from DCS version 2.8.7.42583 is the posibility to copy markpoints to existing waypoints. ("Copy Feature for UFC and CDU" in the change log)


    Until today, whenever you had a markpoint displayed on the CDU or hooked on the TAD, you could press the OSB 9, labelled "?x" on the CDU or OSB 17, lablled  "x?" on the TAD to create a new waypoint with the nr x

    From this path, before pressing the OSB, you can enter an existing waypoint number or name on the scratchpad.  
    Result will be that the corresponding waypoint will be overwritten with the data from the markpoint you had on the CDU or hooked on the TAD.

    Practical example:
    You have a waypoint 8, called TGT.  
    in the target area, after you attacked TGT, you spot another target.  
    With any sensor available to you, you create a markpoint on that new target.
    After that, perform one of the following actions:

    • On the CDU (repeater): enter "TGT" or "8" on the scratchpad and press OSB 9, labelled "?x"
    • On the TAD: Hook the markpoint you just created, enter "TGT" or "8" on the scratchpad and press OSB 17, labelled "x?"

    Both actions will result in waypoint 8/TGT been overwritten with the data from the markpoint on the new target.


    It's not a huge gamechanger, but it's a handy little tool.
