great. you guys are chock full of "the knowledge". i will have tons of questions for you all. in fact, a few more. the labeling for enemies and friendlies, that is not normal correct? that is a game option and not implemented in real life. and the A-10C doesnt have a HUD that follows your line of sight right? for some reason i recall seeing a youtube video that showed that on an A-10.

roger that!!!! thank you. awesome can anyone tell me the difference between game and simulation mode?

i was having the same issue last night. i was playing around with it in my bedroom which has a lot better lighting than my office. it worked better with more light for sure. i read that having a light source that comes from the general direction of your monitor helps out a lot edit: good idea with the dead zone and tracking pause. last night i was trying to hit a button and accidentally pulled the fire extinguisher for the right engine. fun fun.

new to this version. i played the original Flaming cliffs years ago. i gotta tell you, the new A-10C is difficult. the avionics and computer systems, the way its mapped on my joystick.......i only have the logitech extreme 3d pro for now (i'm looking at ebay right now for a cheap x-52 setup), i downloaded a mapping profile for it. crazy confusing.....anyway, so a couple of questions 1. difference between simulation and game mode controls? 2. i've been playing in simulation mode, i have the modifier buttons set up. now if i push the modifier button say, to run the coolie switch, i have to push the button again to turn off the modification. is there anyway i can set it up so i push and hold the modifier button? rather than push to turn on, then push again to turn off......its a pain that way and i got lost last night as to which modifier button was activated. last night was my first time playing but i understand the setup.....just need practice and i want to make it simpler. oh and i downloaded facetracknoir, that is a little hard to get used to but very cool setup for a built in webcam on a laptop.

thank you for all the answers sir. much appreciated

right right. got ya. awesome. that is only on the A-10C plane though correct?

JTAC work for the A-10C's? what does that mean?

well i'd hate to upgrade to FC2 when FC3 is close to being finalized. and as for all of DCS stuff being "compatible"......that is awesome. and a great idea. upgrade to FC3 it is. and ya i was talking about the non pro x52. in regards to the x52 breakage? i'm a grown man now. i stopped taking out my frustrations on controllers a long time ago.

hey guys, sorry if this subject has been beaten to death but i've been chasing answers and have come up empty. i have played FC v 1.112b in the past. i have a few questions for you as i want to start playing again 1. looking at the saitek x52 hotas setup, seems decent enough of a setup. i'm not a serious sim player but i want something a little inexpensive and better than my logitech pro extreme. your thoughts? 2. should i skip trying to play the versions i already have and just upgrade to FC 3? 3. is FC 1.12b still playable online? or again.....easier just to update to FC3? 4. hows the community? i keep reading about how DCS' games are all now integrated. does this mean that people with the DCS combined arms game can play against us warthog flyers? curious how that works. thanks in advance for any answers. been a while since i've played this game so i may have many questions for you guys. thanks again

you guys know to much. does it switch automatically in the game, between the 2 systems? is there a switch or something?

so are you saying there is a hydraulic back up system on the a-10 i don't know about yet? cause i hate it when the hydraulics fail. it makes flight uncomfortable. whats this cross linkage you're talking about?

so when is that model supposed to be released? any approximate dates? looks nice and coolt. i know what you mean with that manuever. ive done that once or twice to dodge some AAA fire. i didn't think about that when i wrote this thread. please tell me more. i'm interested cause i barely use the rudders and am looking to improve my flying skills. so leave a message.

so i've been playing this game on and off for about almost 2 years i think. i love flying the A-10. in fact its the only one i know how to fly cause i still want to master it. so i'm just wondering how many of you actually use rudders and for what purpose. i use them to line up bombing runs & during windy landings. thats about it. is it effective to use them during sharp turns and such? i'm not a pilot so i dont know. just wondering what you guys think.

i got it to work. i'm an idiot. thanks guys

i downloaded it and it works great. thanks

rodger. i'll try it again. how do you switch between voices? i didn't understand the above directions.

i know this thread has been posted before. but i didn't find awnsers. i have see through trees after installing ground pounder mod, grandsurfs airbase mod, and merzifon scenery mod. any fixes to this? can i also install the merzifon scenery mod with the ground pounder and airbase mod? could that be causing the ghost trees?

ya i'm having the same problem with 6.2. it won't install. i tried unzipping and placing the female voice files in the sound file. didn't work. any hints or advice?

thanks again guys. i got them working and it looks great.

thanks for the reply. so the full versions haven't been released yet?

i've been playing lock on for sometime now. on and off. i've never tried using mods before, so i have a few questions to ask i'm interested in the ground pounder terrian, a-10a weapons mod, and airbase ground text mod. 1. is modman a downloadable program used to install mods? 2. would my ati mobility radeon x600 (128 mb) video card handle these mods? i have graphics set to a little higher than medium. 1440x900 res. 3. are the airbase ground text and ground pounder mods available in all seasons now? 4. in relation to my video card for the airbase mod, high or extreme download? 5. are all these mods downloadable from lockonfiles.com? and any install tips would be greatly appreciated for any 3 of these mods. appreciate you guys and your awnsers. you've helped me many times in the past by reading forums. thanks again

ahh yes. that makes sense. hold the release weapon button the entire time until all bombs drop. got ya. lo-mac it was just a trigger pull and all bombs would drop. i'm gonna check it out. thanks for the advice. you guys always have awnsers. yep that was it. had to hold the trigger. thanks.

ok so i've been having problems doing ripple drops using the a-10. i set the mode to rip/single ammount is set to 3 mk20's, i'll have 3 mk20's total in that weapons group that is selected and the interval would be set to......lets see here, i tried 50, 55, 60, 65. so the problem is that it will only drop one bomb at a time. i was doing some low dives but i never had the problem till i installed FC and 1.12 anybody have the same problem?
