Hey thanks brother and that's what I thought, APU won't stay on long enough to crank engines with no fuel it kinda can't. Catch 22

Hmm sounds plausable Oh well, I guess that's that then, what a shame but it does sound right though if one thinks about it. Guess I'll have to be more careful next time. Thanks for your inputs guys, much appreciated G

Ground refuel issue Hi Jonsky, thanks Yes, I tried that and no fuel was loaded after Crew states complete. Was a bit annoying because I ran out on the runway and only a few metres short of a mission success trigg. Also the rearm worked and I was peppered by AAA and the Crew fixed that but I just can't seem to get the fuel. Also there's no mention of this in the manual so I'm not sure of procedure. I tried shutting everything down except Batt power and a few other ways but still nada. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hey there good folks, I successfully got the Ground Crew to repair but can't seem to get them to refuel. I tried several different ways but all I get is the Crew stating its complete but there's no fuel onboard. Anyone have any notes on this one?

Tangible Manuals are like Small Talk today.. dead dead deadski Hey there Kongamato You know I remember wayyyyyy back when I bought this Combat flight sim called Falcon 4.0. Oh man it was a beauty but the only problem was, there wasn't a computer around powerful enough to properly run the thing I think lol Anyway, my point is the manual that it came with was absolutely beautiful! I remember it had these thick ring binders and it was like a freakin telephone book, in a glossy blue cover, oh it was awesome to behold! So, I wish DCS had something like this available for each AC and yea yea I know it ain't gonna happen but I sure would prefer a nice full colour glossy manual any day rather than screen viewing all the time. Atm I transfer all my stuff to my work issue iPad and read it in iBooks. I understand your comments and I agree. Regards G

I think it would be really cool if ED/DCS World had an online shop you could buy Caps, T-Shirts, Coffee Mugs and other related paraphernalia from. I have bought a Warthog T and mug from some site ages ago, I don't recall which one though. I just think a dedicated store for items like that run by ED/DCS World would be great and would make a nice gift solver too.

Im in Affirmative from me, nice idea, different :thumbup:

TEW 3.0 is a step up Wow Airforce.. that’s interesting. Yea my first plane I was flying here was the SU27, remember about 4 yrs ago flying this campaign called The Ultimate Argument but years before that I reckon near 10 yrs ago now I bought this boxed Black Shark Ka50 on a disk and that’s when I discovered DCS, was all very exciting. The Z markpoint is not really for target acquisition, it’s more a of a tool I use when I lose those units after I release a weapon or weapons on them. It by default marks the point where your last munition was released and also subsequently replacing that markpoint with a new one each time you release. Soon as you flick your rotary dial to Mark it appears in your HUD then you can create SPI and scope around with your TGP to find the units if they’ve moved away or you may have just lost their position. Whatever, it’s a handy little tool to have in the bag. And yea this Campaign is a total step up and I’ve only played 4 missions. Congrats to BD for this one as I think it’s going to be something very special and what perfect timing to bring this one home. Just when the HOG was needing a little love around here, you know with all the hype these last couple of years regarding DCS’s shiney new toy The Hornet which is an amazing achievement, I think the HOG was a little unintentionally neglected. So I’m thinking this campaign should regenerate an interest in the HOG. There is no better combat flight sim in the market today that offers the immersion and realism that we have here. So the HOG and this Campaign I think would be an awesome entry level for peeps. Oh man I’m rambling again lol. Ok I’ll finish off, I think TEW 3.0 will become a DCS all time great and a benchmark for all other A-10C campaigns to follow. I only wish I could retire to spend more time flying these missions instead of working. Take it easy, have fun with it, peace out :thumbup:

Co ordinates stuff Hey thanks a bunch sze5003, very kind of you man. I’m pretty ok with my CDU and Markpoint usage but I know on a personal level there’s always something more to learn and that’s one of the reasons why I love DCS and the HOG so much. I particularly like the “Z” weapon release markpoint feature, it’s really good for re aquirung targets if they’re on the move and you happen to lose them. You know what, over the last few years on and off I’ve managed to complete every campaign and default A-10C mission in DCS besides the Basic & Advance Training ones but I do plan on doing them also. So, in all those missions I flew previously I can’t recall ever having to use a Grid coordinate. So it threw me a curve ball and because I wasn’t familiar with it, I lacked understanding. Now, I think it’s awesome that BD has created it this way because it makes me think and do things with my CDU a little differently. I got used to doing it a certain way over time and that was that. And also I guess I’m guilty of becoming a little too lazy with it. Thanks again, I appreciate your input. GA :thumbup:

Ok mystery solved Thank you very much for your input BD, it was freakin me out. The missions are a big improve. Can't wait to experience more. And so nice to be back in the HOG Cheers G

Phew! Thanks a bunch! Thanks big time Fee, your a legend mate! Just tell me though.. with 38T LN162343 Does the 38T represent the actual Grid or is it some other designate?

Hey good people, Could some one explain the Co ordinate type that's in these missions? I've never come across this type before and maybe not entering them in my CDU correctly because both Mission 3 and 4 have been a nightmare in relation to finding targets once co ordinates are entered. Eg: mission # 3 Co ordinates format 38T KN 94414518 which later changed to 944452 both sets of co ordinates found a forest and no targets. I'm not whining about this but it's starting to get a little frustrating. Ok just now.. mission# 4 38T LN 162343 location of target over 60 miles away, I didn't bother flying there. I'm trying to understand this format of co ordinates, I've never seen them before, what happened to the good ole Lat/Long or 10 Digit UTM? I'm either not understanding these types of co ordinates and therefore not entering them correctly or there's some issues regarding them. I would sure love if someone let me know how they are loading them into their CDU and TGP does the rest as per usual. I've flown near 3 hrs with zero tgt acquisition. And the missions so far have been great except for this issue. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Regards G

Yikes! Thanks Hamilton, I didn't know there was that Forum for the Campaign. What should I do now? Oh just found that error in that particular mission within that Forum then, thanks again mate. I guess there's going to be a few little hick ups here and there. No biggie, still fun

Hi there good people! I just flew TEW 3.0 mission 3 Restoring Hope, was a great mission.. up to a point. At around WP 7 or 8 Hunter advises of smoke and fire at your 2:00 o clock in a village. I couldn't make a visual but was given co ordinates of 38T KN 94414518. Entered these an TGP showed forest with no sign of any villiage or fires. I searched and searched but no luck then Overlord is contacted and advised of terrorists carrying out executions but this time the co ordinates are different as 38T KN 944452. And those co ords were virtually same as previous ones as in the forest. I couldn't find the terrorists to take out so only managed a 86%. Was a bit of a let down as I completed all the other tasks to a tee. Any one else experience this? Regards Gary

Hi good people, Not sure if this has been reported prior but I'm getting this weird off centre angle happening with my Flight Path Ladder and also the Steer Point Line and its box are off to one side even when the Bug on my Heading Tape is near dead ahead. Anyone else seen this before? The Flight Path Ladder only seems to fill the Hud correctly when I bank as the pic shows but doesn't happen all time thankfully but is more frequent than not and it's annoying. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers G

Hi groovy Pilots, I'm just wondering if anyone is having dramas with setting DTOT either using their CDU or UFC? I'm probably doing this incorrectly but when I set the desired time at any specific WP and then when I cycle thru them, all are showing same time. I can't seem to find any docs on this other than the manual pages 470 -471 and yes it explained the method but I'm still getting all the WPs set with same time? I'm a little freaked by this one as not being able to set each WP with a different DTOT. Any buffs out there care to chime in and let me know what I'm doing wrong? Would be much appreciated. Regards G Oops I think I found where I was going wrong, was on the wrong page in CDU Nope, still not getting it. Just watched the Bunyap Sims vid on this and it looked great but I still can't seem to have separate TOTs set for different WPs

Thanks Bobby, appreciate that mate.

Hey thanks kindly for your input Sadist_Cain. I am slowly putting together my Viacom plug-in and the Radio Chatter as well and thanks for that Operation Bactria tip, my appreciated brother.

Hey thanks Four brother, Listen I just found something awesome on YT and I fly the beautiful Hornet too but now wanting to learn Ka50. I just stumbled across Hollywood_315 vid on Viacom Pro 2.5 install and run with VA and the awesome thing is, all DCS commands are already preloaded for you which is crazy good and if you have the Pro vers for 9 € you get radio chatter extras as well. This is the link if anyone is interested :thumbup:

Thanks Free. I have both VA and VP installed and just started setting up Voice Attack now following the frooglesim guide on YT but I thought if someone had a profile they could send over would save a lot of time. Although I’m starting to realise now that would be way more difficult than it sounds. I’ll just keep on with frooglesims YT vid, it’s actually very good. Cheers G :thumbup:

Hey awesome people! Just wondering if anyone has a Voice Attack profile for an A-10C they would like to share? Would be much appreciated, in exchange will run errands and wash car.

Thanks kindly Hey thanks Pac-Man, appreciate that mate. I’ve used Chucks guide for the FA/18C Hornet and found it awesome, it really helped me out and is still doing so. I’ll check those links and hopefully makes some sense of it all heh. Thanks again, very kind. Regards G :thumbup: Whoa! Just checked Chucks guide, it looks amazing and also has my Warthog throttle n stick mapping, INSANE! Says last update 2015 but I'm sure still relative today.

New Project Hi there, thanks for posting that start up guide. It looks like a great vid and I will definitely check it out. I'm just at the start of learning the Ka50 and man oh man it looks daunting but I'm still keen as I love rotors. I'm just wondering if there is any documentation as in maybe a DCS manual or something like that to help beginners get a foot hold? Regards Gaz
