how do I use this?

glad you like it

Hi, like back in Black Shark times I have made a startup manual for the A-10. For people like me who can not remember the exact button positions there are again pictures included. Enjoy www.dahustler.de/files/dcs/A10-Startup.zip

yeah I quit my job and make a DC. ok whats next? :) I am not a freelancer. I have a fix position. I dont know what you guys have in mind when someone calls DC but a falcon one would be enough (at least for a start) for most of the people if not all. falcon is the bar everyone will measure it with. I am not so deep into military procedure liky you guys are for sure but for me as a hobby simmer the falcon DC is realistic enough. it can get better always but do you really think anyone would even remember falcon today if it had DCS like missions instead of a DC? what is so wrong with the falcon dc? why is it that flying a mission in the falcon DC even without enemy contact is more fun for me than the best DCS missions? its not scripted! its alive! I love DCS and the fidelity to detail but black shark couldnt keep me flying for a long time. I even preferred to fly the campaign missions manually because I was bored of flying over and over the same mission after failing for the 10th time (yeah I sucked :) )

actually I am the chief developer in my company. and with my 31 years and 8 years of business experience now I consider myself a senior. but we are getting off topic. I think I made it clear enough what I think about the impossibility of a DC.

no not a good call at all. standard blabla. a dc engine is not that big of a deal as they try to make you believe. its not done in days sure, but its not years. 2-3 people could develop a falcon like one in about 6 months I guess. a database, a random mission generator. they are afraid of the performance hit to their engine probably

graphics, its old, its outdated and so on. that does not compare only a little bit to the awesome immersion and feeling of beeing in real theatre that a dc provides you. why should I even try to rescue my damaged plane in DCS? why should I RTB after a mission success or fail? why should I look aside of my mission route for enemies if there are none? flight sim without a DC is old and outdated - not falcon. its like a RPG without an open world.

thats your job. I do mine thanks.

well I will play A10 for a couple of months and then go back to falcon like every year. No DC = short life cycle, that simple it is. I dont understand why ED does not create a DC. I am a software developer myself and I think its ridiculous. Falcon had it 10 years ago oh boy.

no boxes are not a thing of the past. I bought the download version of A10 today (installing right now) but this is an absolute exception. I am a simmer so I cant wait any longer but in general I have never bought a download version before and I will not again (dcs maybe different here)

very nice video!

I rather play the single missions in black shark than the phased campaign. playing 20x the same mission and by failure being thrown back into the previous phase just to play again the same old missions just sucks. plain and simple. ed could skyrocket their sales by introducing a dynamic campaign. and dont tell me about complexity. I am a software developer myself. and though its complex and needs some work its far from impossible.

great teaser GA. Need more! :)

thx Wags. Looks awesome so far! Cant wait to get my hands on this one. Keep up the great work.

You cant tell how simple the DC in SH will be yet but it will be lot more fun than black sharks campaign. And event though I dont develope games I am a software developer myself. Coding a DC is not a big deal. the big deal here is probably the limited engine and its non capatibility of rendering and processing huge numbers of units.

DC is what takes me back to Falcon for 10 years now. I lost interest in Black Shark very quick. I dont need top gun styled missions. I need the feeling of being in a real war and me beeing only a small piece of the whole. When I get shot down in Black Shark I dont care. In Falcon I try to rescue the plane. Even a mission without any enemy contact in Falcon is more fun than the best hand designed missions in Black Shark. In Falcon threat is every where. In Black Shark I know that there is no need to leave the waypoints because the world is empty. Silent Hunter 5 will come out in a couple of weeks having a DC. I dont think that the Silent Hunter Team is bigger than ED. Ill keep playing Falcon until (if ever) there will be a sim with a DC. I cant get any fun out of the Black Shark campaign. It just does not have the right feeling.

a dynamic campaign. black shark got boring so fast and I went back to falcon just for the campaign

the campaign and the chopper flying is so boring that I wont spend more time in trying to keep this thing steady and just switched to easy flight model

becuase it takes a lot of time to create and has no advantage to a pdf version. you cant even print it

I dont know sorry :) I just took the first picture I found

thx for the update. what is changed in the updated campaign? are all missions now with cold start? waiting for this one desperately so I can finally start this campaign

no problems here I get 50-60 fps in every situation with max details and 2x AA win xp amd phenom 2 x940 leadtek gtx 260 4gb ram

I did the same but in addition I banned hawx and put it to the wii section

thats fair and I respect this. just hope more than enough to see more dcs in the future

I hope so cos I want all the future modules :)
