A-10 is a complex one to skin, lots of separate texture files that need to be matched together seamlessly, lots of hours work, good luck with your request. Note: A-10A and A-10C has same exterior model so skins are same for both.

dud normally means fuses not set

doesnt the zoom function change FOV? (Mouse wheel)

Interesting info, I set up new snap views + default front facing with tweaked FOV yesterday for 10 aircraft, using the quickstart instant action missions to get quick access to the planes, then was totally confused as to why when i flew other missions, the settings were lost. Ive also reset views in my own missions but they dont stay saved next time I jump in. Frustrating.

Yep been round in circles through those threads and tried a couple of modified luas but still I cant produce anything resembling a nice semi-gloss bare metal look.

I keep trying to shield the on-screen DDI from the daylight with my hand over the monitor. Not very effective and the kids think Ive gone soft in the head :)

if you go the freepie rout i can send you the script i use for the korg nanokontroller to see how it works

With the aid of 2 small free programs I used a Korg nanokontrol midi controller as an inexpensive way of getting an additional 8 sliders, 8 rotary axes and 35 buttons all to map, using vjoy and freepie. Works fine and probably 1/10th the cost of a dedicated flightsim unit. Took a couple of hours to work out how to get the program talking to the joystick emulator. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=259519&highlight=midi https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=221268&highlight=midi Even without midicontroller, vjoy is worth downloading and using (its free) as it can enable multiple rotary axes to work off single controller, which DCS setup doesnt permit under normal circumstances, eg: I use to control all the lighting knobs in the F-18 or Huey simultaneously by mapping to a single spare rotary axis on my hotas.

Happens quite often for me. Sometimes I do a ctrl+alt+del to end process then boot up dcs in admin mode. Sometimes it works ;)

in saved games/dc.sopenbeta/config folder is options.lua. Here you can reset graphics & displays, monitors, etc. Good to save a backup copy when its back to normal.

appreciate the link but its a pain replacing a texture parameter when you cant then pass the multiplayer integrity check :( This is stated in the read-me.

I'm after a nice bare metal Huey skin, not high chrome, just reasonable gloss like the ones you can get for the F-86. I'm ok editing dds and luas, and have the unofficial RoughMet patch installed, (got a lovely semi-shiny bare metal skin on an F-5 now) also an edited json file, taken from one of the texture threads on the Huey, but I cannot seem to get a reasonable bare metal skin effect. Any ideas or pointers please?

FC3 low fidelity set is a good example for starters to DCS as most of the key bindings are common as much as possible. If other mod releases could accept a similar standard protocol wherever possible it would certainly help. A lot of the keys for view changes are standard, but since everyone has different preferences when mapping key presses to hotas buttons it could get very difficult to standardise. I also prefer to use some different sets of key presses for some functions so i have to reset keybindings off the default anyway. tricky one.

And you can do it but need 3rd party free software - vjoy and joystick gremlin. I roped in a spare midi controller with 8 rotary knobs and 8 sliders and 36 buttons to use for volume & brightness controls in F-18, Huey, SU-33, Bf-109 (I dont have the f-14)

Yep I'm sure its a huge conspiracy. What should we do about it?

@Vertigo72 Ive been a huge fan of Condor for many years, a real nice flight sim but well done, and I tried it in VR with a friends Oculus Rift this weekend for the first time - gobsmacked at the feel of immersion and height. Absolutely love it - this and DCS will fuel my purchase of a VR headset v soon. Condor users are less anal about the picture-perfect cockpits but flight dynamics are good and the fact there's so many great (mostly free) landscapes by loyal users is brilliant.

Well said, Baco. Its a bit elitist attitude tbh Hawkeye, I spend hours practicing and still find it far harder than you do. So you're a more skilled flyer than a lot of us newbs. Now we have that out the way is it practical to have a selectable mode you can choose to help with autopilot guiding the plane to the probe when close enough, a bit like the quickstart cheat? Its at the discretion of the player then, to have the experience of tracking down the tanker, getting close enough then getting help with the refuel. I'd use it until I got good enough to do without it.

I heard ED had no intention of doing any further work on the FC3 collection? Or is this incorrect info?

what is that supposed to do? Certainly not nav path follow. Does ED have any incentive to finish off the bugs in these older modules? Its not going to generate revenue for them, and the fanboys just bleat "open beta, open beta, what do you expect?"

Wondering the same, is it not yet implemented or Have I just not done the right key strokes to pop it up?

yep - show all d/loads the select the 64 bit version

not sure if there is any differnce in the programming s/ware, just the pro has a few more buttons and extra price tag

mine s still working fine. reinstall the x52 programming s/ware?

its on logitech support / downloads site https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/simulation/X52_HOTAS_x64_8_0_132_0.exe Documentation is poor, theres a few helpful youtube tutorials but they need a lot of searching.
