Cerulean

I am about to order a better set of rudder pedals and was wondering what your opinions are. I am debating between the Thrustmaster TPR, the VKB T-Rudder Mk IV and the Virpil ACE-Flight. If you like the VKB, what do you think of the virtual toe brakes? How does that work?

<RESOLVED. Latest patch slightly changed the way the Warthog throttle ENG OPER switches work. They must now be in the MIDDLE position.> I've been using the A10C for about 6 months, and the A10C-II since release day. Today, I can't get the APU to spin up to 100% for anything. The APU gets power up to 60% then its heat goes into the red and the power drops. Never had this problem before. Only thing different is DCS loaded an update this morning. Even the auto-start sequence leads to the same problem. I can't figure out if this is a bug. Anyone have any thoughts?

ILS switch is reversed. Off is on. On is off. Clicking and dragging the volume knob does not turn up the volume.

I am experiencing random failures in all modes of autopilot. No idea why. If I quit a mission and restart, go through the startup sequence in the exact same way, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Never had this happen with the original A10C. Anyone know if there is a fix? I tried to attach a track of the bug, but it's 30 megs and the DCS site says I can't upload files larger than 5 megs.

I forgot to mention, random failures was the first thing I checked. Not enabled. I still can't figure out what caused it. Will the A10C-II blow an engine if you keep it at full throttle? The Harrier can do that.

I've gone through several missions of "The Enemy Within Campaign" since the OP and can't replicate the issue now. I have no idea what caused it. Maybe it was a bug somehow specific to the earlier missions.

Sorry, I'm kind of new to this stuff. Do you mean video capture it when this happens? I could do that with OBS.

So it's a bug then.

Is there a different procedure to start the A10C-2? Several times, I have had engine oil failures, even just taxiing to the runway. I am trying to figure out if I should be doing something different when starting up the ship.

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong in the A10C-II startup sequence or if this is a bug. I think it's a bug because sometimes it happens, and sometimes it doesn't. The left engine experiences an oil failure and shuts down. Sometimes in mid-flight, and today just taxiing to the runway. It's pretty much a game-breaking problem since it sucks getting halfway through a mission to have the engine randomly shutdown and catch fire.

Is there a way to use the new A10 with The Enemy Within campaign? <<Never mind. I see this was answered in another post.>>

I am really liking The Enemy Within campaign, but at mission 14 I am encountering some weird bugs. First Try: I fly to the last waypoint on the ocean, get the AWACs call about where the ship is, and fly to it, but the call to attack never comes. I orbited the ship till I was on fumes and the order to attack still never came. Second Try: I fly to the last waypoint, this time get the call "Rolex +5", then five minutes later the order to destroy the ship. I kill the ship and then nothing else happens. Third Try: I fly to the ship and realize halfway there that my wingman never took off. Then I get to the ship but the F-16 CAP has never taken off either. In fact, neither have the enemy aircraft. All the while, chatter is coming in from my wingman, the F16 CAP and AWACS as if everything is normal. Fourth Try: I fly to the ship, get the call to attack, kill it with a mav, am approached by enemy aircraft and am ordered by AWACS to loiter and observe. Orbit for an hour and nothing happens, then the enemy aircraft promptly get on my six and shoot me down. Fifth Try: Fly to the ship and never get an order to standby nor attack. Orbit for two hours and nothing. In all these cases, I flew to the last waypoint to activate the steps. It's like a random bug each time. I know how to force the campaign to the next mission, but thought you might want to be aware.

Just double checking to make sure I understand: The Gladiator NXT does not require a separate base? Presently, I am using a Warthog HOTAS which I really like, but I would like a stick with a rudder axis for convenience.

150 GB per month at full speed, then unlimited at 2 Mbps. So I can download it in a day. Not too bad.

I live in remote Canada and am on satellite internet. Fast but limited data usage. Can anyone tell me how big the download is?

I've been having a blast learning the A10C and am presently doing the Georgian Hammer campaign. It was going great till I hit mission 6. I have replayed it three times and literally blown up every red target on the map and it still only gives 50 mission success and won't let me move on. Is this mission bugged? How can I move on?

I recently put the Open Beta version on my computer. I like the cutting edge feel of the sim like this, but I didn't know the regular downloads would be so huge. I live in a rural area and am on a limited data plan so I need to switch back to stable with its fewer, smaller downloads. Does anyone know how big the download would be to make the switch?

Never mind. Problem resolved. Somehow, when I transferred my DLC, this one got overlooked.

I bought the FA-18C from Steam back in October. It was my first module. Recently, I switched to DCS directly through the producer and imported my modules to this version. Just last night I started getting an error: FA-18C not authorized and will expire in 3 days. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've already imported the module and it was working fine till yesterday.

I like the campaign but moving on is bugged. I've flown literally about 50 of the CAS/BAI support missions, get confirmed kills, land and re-arm then come back for another pass just to be sure, and still it won't move on to the next mission.

Well, Amazon Canada listed a Warthog HOTAS at a crazy low price (I think it was the wholesale price, probably a mistake) and I snagged it, so I guess that problem is resolved. The Warthog is very nice except the throttle analog button is kludge.

I am sure this is a noob question, but I cannot figure how to re-center the T-Pod view apart from manually steering the view back to center. Is there a quicker way?

I've had an X 52 Pro about 4 to 5 years now and no problems whatsoever. I've put over 2000 hours on it. Guess I got lucky with this one.

I was wondering if any owners of the new gray Logitech G version of the X56 have any new thoughts after using it for a year or two. Does it last? Still accurate? What do you think of the throttle and analog mini-sticks?

That looks like exactly what I had hoped to find. I hope they get it made.
