Pretty big download, takes some time, but worth the wait! Once you have the latest DCS World installed and the A10C module, don't forget to download it too (it's much smaller than world) you shouldn't have to download that again as the new versions of DCS World include auto-updaters. Welcome to the wonderful world of DCS A10C Study sim.

I have done exactly as you described. I hosted a multiplayer mission in LAN from my main gaming rig and then ran DCS World from my laptop. I was able to find/join my hosted mission and jumped into a SU-25T and joined the fight, albeit at very reduced FPS (laptop is a bit older). Good luck!

I always have had to look up this info time and again. Zaelu's post is the best I have seen at summarizing this information, thanks for the post!

Is there anything we can do to get his ticket looked at? Seems like the response time on these tickets is incredible large. I can't argue that I would rather have the resources devoted to making this great sim better, but a minimal amount of effort still has to assigned to keep those customers who have purchased the sim and are having difficulties up and running.

Oh Crud! So trying to help, we inadvertently hurt. Thank you for checking and for that feedback! I will tell my wingman to "hold here" and patiently wait..... k, can't do that last part. Any help will be really appreciated.....my friend isn't hooked like I am and I feel that if I can just get him over the initial learning curve that I will bring one more into the flock.

I have been trying to convince my friend to start flying with me on A10. He finally agreed, but in the time that has passed he forgot his credentials.... GRRRRR! He submitted a ticket several weeks ago and keeps updating it, hoping someone will help. How do we get some help with his ticket? His ticket number is: 21230 Please help, desperate here!

Keep trying till your eyes bleed.... When you are truly sick of it.... then it will be easy.... so you won't do it again for a bit... which of course means you will be rusty.... rinse and repeat.

I live in that area... Pretty sure you saw 2 F-15s.... they buzz my house daily, almost ripping the shingles off (which, btw, I don't mind at all!). Used to see F-18s a good bit also, but mostly 15s. They use this area for low level flight practice, gotta watch out when I'm buzzing around in the ole Cessna 152!

Not near my gaming rig at the moment and I fly the A10 and fiddled with those settings, but hopefully I can shed some info of what I have found in my settings. I run 3 monitors and the default "zoom" with TrackIR was too close. I too found that playing with the viewAngles had no effect on the "default" zoom location. What I found to work for me was to adjust the FOV setting for the A10 in the view.lua file. I'm sorry I can't remember the exact name of the setting, but it's value was something like '= {20, 140}'. Changing the latter value to something larger helped me zoom out some, think I have mine set at {20, 200} at the moment. I hope you can get some help from this. Good Luck!

2nd Rise of Flight, can be a real hoot!

Post a link to your guide you found for us noobs :)

Well, I'm a scrub, but I had the same problem last night and someone I was flying with was nice enough to help me troubleshoot it. My problem was an incorrect alignment of EGI. If you get in a hurry on startup and don't let the alignment complete then you can't drop the weapon. The indication that something was amiss was from the DSMS page, the weapons had a 'unaln' or something like that, instead of 'rdy' under their names. After being walked through an in flight re-alignment I was good to go and dropped bombs on target. Hope this helps.

Yes... interesting... no sleep for me tonight

Thats funny, I was just looking at the A10 model from Revell last night.... Now I have to go and add the Ka-50... thanks! Edit: Couldn't get the Ka-50 with Prime shipping, so just got the A10... can't wait to start building..... Also note: If you ever build a Remote Controlled one of these, the grey paint scheme is great, till you launch it! I will say that paint scheme makes it hard to tell if the plane is coming or going. Good luck with your build!

Very fun to watch, thanks for sharing. I am bookmarking to show a buddy I keep trying to get flying. I need a wingman!

signed, thanks for setting this up.

Nah, good question, I do have the v1.5 update installed and also the hotfix for screen flicker or whatever it's called (although I do see my task bar flickering now still, not sure if that was the problem the hotfix was trying to fix). Will the v1.6 version help with this jittery problem at all you think?

I finally got all this working, took a good bit of work to figure out the axis. Still seeing a lot of jittering when I am trying to look at a panel. Anybody else experience this? Any solutions? I will keep tinkering with the filters/curves/etc. But no way I could do a startup with the jitteryness, buttons keep moving all around!

This is exactly my experience as well. I have spent a LONG time trying to get the axis figured out, but finally had to set it to the side out of frustration. Hope someone can chime in with what is working for them with PPJoy.

Quick dumb question: I did all the above, but in DCS A10C my head movements is not moving my view at all. Is there a "step 8" that is assumed? Maybe this PPJoy deal? I am running Win7 64bit and I have read that causes some issues as well. Any help is appreciated.

Think I had the same problem. If you are using keyboard to activate HOTAS TMS Up I think I fixed my problem by holding the key combination for a second or two. I believe the proper command is a LONG TMS Up so to replicate I had to do the key sequence for while also. Please note, Im just a nugget and not playing atm, but I do remember feeling your pain and the 'ah ah' moment when I figured it out. Hope this helps.

So has anyone made an AVI file with the new patch? It appears that 1.0.2 has changed some things in this area, I have yet to successfully be able to do it.

Just thought of another question :)... man they are rolling now! Here is my scenario: I used a triggerzone to activate my helos taking off from an airbase. Doing it this way my helos just "pop" onto the screen. Is there anyway to have the helos hot and ready on the runway and then start their waypoint run when the trigger is fired? Thanks again for the help.

Thank you so much for the info, great input on the mobile triggers, knew of them, didn't go as far as to think to use them that way. Also, great on the uninstall/install.. might try that to fix the AVI issue you weren't sure about... maybe that will fix it. If not love to hear from others that might have ideas on my AVI issue.... Like to show some friends my movies and get them interested in doing some flying :)

Been reading like crazy, but still a few questions. I have actually gotten to the point where I can fly and engage the enemy, still always die, but doing much better and having a blast. Started messing around with the mission editor, I'm addicted now, and have a few questions some of you nice people might be able to help me with: Is there anyway to build a trigger event based on "enemy spotted"? Closest I have found is "Unit Damaged", "Group Dead" but that is a tad later than I want to invoke other actions. Current I am using a TriggerZone with "Units inside" so when the enemy tanks reach a certain point it invokes my other actions, but be nice to say "Enemy spotted" and then when I move those units around I don't have to mess around with a separate TriggerZone also. Plus it's just a guess on my part as to when the enemy is really spotted. I first started messing with the Mission Editor prior to Patch 1.0.2. After the patch I noticed that my options in "Create AVI" are different as in, missing a bunch of codecs, sample size options, etc. Right now I have 2 options for encoding and thats about it. Is this due to patch changes or maybe I need a clean install? Thoughts? If I want/need to do a clean install, do I need to also do a deactivate/reactivate on the licensing also?
