Hello DCS Apache pilots, If your looking for a European based Squadron to fly with don't look furter, and join our Wild Wolves virtual fighter wing. Casual but aim to be milsim if possible. We are a active Apache group with trainings on every tuesday and thursday. We offer multiple trainings for both the front and the backseat. On saturday we do missions made by fellow Wild Wolves members. We have multiple campaigns. In the missions we fly combined with all our Squadrons. We also have live AWACS. Both our missions and trainings start at: 7:45PM GMT. We also have squadron's of A10 Warthogs, AWACS/ATC, F15c Strike Eagles, F16 vipers and F/A 18 hornets. And looking for new pilots within all skill levels. Check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WildWolvesVFW Feel free to pop by and introduce yourself in our Discord channel. https://discord.gg/ygFpFH5kXW

In my A10C at 20k at pre-contact point in formation with the tanker at 180kts, I send "Ready pre-contact". The tanker replies "cleared precontact" then immediately full throttle accelerates to 200kts leaving my A10 in the dust. Takes me another minute to catch back up and then try to connect. Why does the tanker accelerate away?

We should get pylon removal for the A-10A, A-10C, and A-10C II. It will recuse drag and also would look good on recreating the A-10 demo team. nullPHOTO OF A-10C II REMOVING PYLONS 1, 3, 6, 9, AND 11

All, Looking to join a relaxed squadron to join to fly during the week or weekends. I am on EST I have a Discord Server. Name PKP_Coole#3299. Thanks, look forward to flying!

Noticed since probably couple updates back that the A10C is flying on an 3-4 degree angle now?! doesnt really matter on the stores/clean jet, and it only seems to be effecting the legacy version, but after take off it starts rolling to the right, to which i trim out but then the plane is flying on an angle. There doesnt seem to be any asymmetrical thrust, all SAS are on and if i press CTRL + T to reset all trims, it slowly starts to roll over to the right eventually crashing. On heading hold it also banks the aircraft to maintain heading (if it doesnt disconnect completely) EDIT: I noticed on external view the rudders were slightly turning right (even though the yaw trim wheel was centred, and i reset trim with ctrl + T), which i guess can be fixed by adding L yaw, but should it not be centred at launch, plus its heavily yawing right with centred trim which doesnt seem correct?! Where do we report such bugs?

I am running DCS world beta 2.7.9.18080, single player, and I am finding too low levels of fuel at the start of missions / campaigns. I initially noticed it in DCS Liberation, but I did a few tests without Liberation to exclude this as as cause. Example 1: Mission editor - a10C II at Batumi airport with no weapons. In mission editor it shows 100% fuel, after starting the fuel gauge shows only up to 2 (six is maximum) Example 2: A10C II instant action free flight - in this mission the fuel gauge shows less than 0.5 fuel. As this mission is intended to fly around, I would expect a high level of fuel (and almost no weapons). So another indication that there is something wrong with the fuel calculation or fuel gauge or something related. Example 3 A10C II instant action CAS Nevada - near zero fuel at the start of the mission mission editor fuel test.miz

Greetings and salutations, I am usually flying the 18 or 16 and the camera with track ir is fine and will allow me to zoom in/out just fine. I load up the a10 (a, c, cII doesnt matter) and the camera is zoomed in all the way. I try to zoom out with the default zoom numpad key and it will zoom out a little then reset to all the way in. I pause my track ir and it will act the same. Once or twice it will zoom out all the way but then it will snap back to zoomed in. Is there a setting I need to mess with in the a10 settings? I cannot imagine it is the Track Ir settings as it works just fine with the 18/16/mi24/ka etc. Thanks for any insight! PJ "That Fat Pilot"

Im having issues entering the UTM style cordinates in this campaign, as the campaign gives you 6 digits (eg. KN 545 441) but UTM has 10 numbers (eg. KN 54521 44162), and if i just enter the 6 digit style in it comes up 400 miles away. The missions dont give you the 37T part of utm either, which is sometimes different, so im not sure if thats the part im entering wrong or not? ive re-watched 10 different vids on WP entry in case ive missed something, but none mention the 6 digit format. i tried filling out the 10 spaces with zeros but no success there either. I was able to visually spot targets in previous, more confined missions, but now cant progress any further.

Hi everyone. Few weeks ago I bought A-10C Tank Killer for DCS. I was flying with Thrustmaster T1600M. It was great, was working perfectly. Recently I bought Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and I'm having problem with two things. First of all is creating SPI with TGP by clicking TMS FWD LONG. It's simply not working at all, it is not creating SPI. It locks target from area mode to point mode by clicking it short, but that's it. Second issue outcomming from the first one is I cannot slave TGP to SPI, because there is no SPI at all. Clicking China Hat FWD Long is not working. However China Hat AFT Long Works perfectly so is China Hat FWD Short for zoom of TGP. It was all fun and games, with T1600M, all worked perfectly, but now with warthog something went wrong. I had profile for T1600M, but deleted it. Reinstalled game few times (I have Steam version). The button on joystick and throttles phisically works, so it is more like binding problem or my stupidity and not paying attention while learing. Could you guys be so kind and help me a bit with that? Brgds, Chris.

BLUF: Thrilled to be back...been jealous reading the forums and watching evolutions of DCS over the past few years. Would appreciate your help, so skip to the Questions section to bypass my melodramatic summary… I love DCS…I could not be happier with the trajectory, and it’s thrilling that study sims are making a comeback. I attribute this largely to IL-2 (including RoF) and DCS....things certainly seemed dead even in the early 2010s. So happy I no longer have to dwell on my first study sim loves: Microprose F-15 SE III, Janes F15, Longbow. However, as with many of you, it’s been a love-hate relationship that has ebbed and flowed over the years…here’s my quick story (please correct if memory provides inaccuracies): My DCS Story: 2009 – started with OG Black Shark CPU: AMD Phenom II 965BE GPU: Single HD5970 Top-of-the-line system; ran well, maybe 45fps, generally had a good time at 720p during real missions 2010 – picked up A-10C and never went back to Black Shark CPU: AMD Phenom II 965BE GPU: Single HD5970 Perf degrading, usually kept over 30fps at 720p...I started to get concerned. Generally enthralled but not much campaign/community content…interest came and went. Sadly, this would be the last year I could play DCS well on my 2 year old system (was top-of-line). Fun note: I have a good friend who’s an AF Hog driver (AETC) and back in 2010 he sat with my HOTAS Warthog, flew the sim, and could not believe it…just now in 2021 he sent me a link to this article: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40620/a-10-warthog-pilots-are-using-the-digital-combat-simulator-video-game-to-train-in-vr 2011 – DCS World launched…perf got worse, still only flew the Hawg CPU: AMD Phenom II 965BE, but OC’d it more…didn’t help much (see BLAB) GPU: 2x HD5970s…added another card, didn’t help much (see BLAB) Struggled with maintaining 30fps at 720p BLAB: DCSW does not utilize multiple CPU cores well, nor does it utilize Crossfired GPUs. Super! At least I could play all the other games…so I often did for the next 4 years. :( 2015 – DCS 1.5 launched; DCS 2.0alpha launched CPU: AMD Phenom II 965BE GPU: New GTX 970 helped me take a swipe at 1080p…but just barely Struggled to stay above 20fps at 1080p during heavy action EDGE turned out to be a great long-term bet by ED…yet it did not solve my now very aged CPU/GPU combinations or fix the single-core single-GPU emphasis (as some suspected it may). 2017 to 2021 – sent overseas for 3+ years CPU/GPU: Packed away in my HHG, no sim’ing, no fun… At least once a week….for 3+ years…. I read about DCS’s progress and watched the YouTube/Instagram videos proliferate…could not BELIEVE the announcements around F-16, AH-64D, F-18, F-14…WOW! Mind blown…but all I could do was track things and wait to return back CONUS to give it another go. 2021 – DCS 2.7, I gave up and went gangbuster…didn’t even try to run on my old system CPU: i7-10700K OC’d to 4.85 GPU: RTX 3080 NOTE: I did try using my GTX 970 with the new CPU…and still only managed 30-45fps at 1080p. HAHA! Just proves you need both CPU and GPU to be top-of-the-line to really get any mileage out of DCS. For the first time in 10 years, I can play DCS smoothly again…and for the first time ever I’m at 60+fps on Ultra doing 1440p. IT IS INCREDIBLE….and it only cost me about $2,400! My Beefs with DCS (I love all the same stuff you love, btw…that list is too long): Performance = no question here…it costs a fortune to run DCS well and consistently over time. And I’m praying that my current top-of-the-line system keeps me at playable framerates longer than my last top-of-the-line system (2 years). Reliably merging the Aircraft with the World = missions/campaigns still seem super-buggy and constantly requiring high-LoE updates to maintain functionality as DCS constantly upgrades. It sucks to just be doing the same out-of-box missions from 2010 for A-10C. ED: you guys built these AMAZING high-fidelity aircraft…and this incredible digital world with beautiful clouds, terrain, and units on the ground…but are failing at unifying those 2 aspects together in a reliable and consistent way via community/ED-sponsored campaigns that do not fall apart every few months. [head-on-desk] My Questions to the community: Is ED seriously not supporting Red Flag for NTTR and A-10C II on 2.7? Building NTTR seemed like a questionable gamble for ED (not sure it paid off considering the new theaters, little content for NTTR I see now)…but having worked there before, I LOVED IT. And I adored the Red Flag Campaign…so is ED also falling victim to their own AI-brutality in mission design breaking with upgrades…is it too much of a pain for even ED to update? Should I ask for a refund here? Why does A-10C original even exist? I was quite surprised to see that OG A10 still is a separate module…how confusing and unnecessary. Why? It’s been over a year. All the content should be A-10C II by now… What SP campaigns should I play for A-10C II? Seems like just Enemy Within 3.0 - really? I want Red Flag…but see above. I played Enemy Within back in the day…happy to see there’s a 3.0 supporting A10-C II here. I see Piercing Fury is user-supported now…but it’s failing me on Mission 2 (I saw the fix threads…but don’t have time to screw with this stuff in the waning hours after the kids go to sleep…I just want to fly and blow sh*t up, fixes not working for me). Given the above experience with A10-C II - what do you think of investing in Hornet? What’s the single player campaign story there? I really want to dive into the Hornet once it goes on sale. I’m thinking to buy: Hornet SuperCarrier Persian Gulf Raven One But that’s a lot of money just to potentially be disappointed that I cannot play through campaigns after upgrades, etc. Other recommendations? I bought F-14 from HB…even though I won’t have time to study it. Just bought because I read they did a great job and want to support 3rd party on awesome modules like this. I’m definitely going all-in on AH-64D (same story, support the cause) but again worried about SP Campaign content… Thanks everyone and cheers

Hi all very new here, trying to follow the A10II C training flight for HOTAS, I get put in auto pilot mode and the trainer talks me through the different buttons, hats etc then all a sudden, the auto pilot disengages and i spiral ground words and I crash. My question is this Is there a recommended Warthog combo profile that I can download from somewhere I also have TM MFD and Crosswinds MFG pedals in my setup. Many thanks for any help? Kind regards Humpster

Hit me up on discord. Thanks!

I'm playing the "persian gulf freedom" capmaign by ground pounder sim. Already with 2 missions I experience that JDAM's (GBU38) misses its target by several hundred feets. Wind data is entered into the LASTE (CBU97 drops accurately). THe bombs does not fall short, they fall usually port side of the target. Bombs are dropped when MAN REL mode is open. Any idea?

Подскажите, как перевести прицел пушки на поражение воздушных целей, помню что в обучении обсуждалась эта тема, но у меня обучалка глючит на определенном моменте и инструктор не объясняет дальше что делать. Спасибо

I'm in mission 2, and they recommend attacking the SAM at high altitude (angles 25 or greater.) However, there is about 75% cloud cover and despite some holes in the clouds, I have trouble getting into a good position to attack it with an LGB or Mavs. Once we hit WP 7 or so, do we have time to loiter until we can find a good place to attack or is there a time limit?

We are primarily flying the F-16C, with plans to fill some A-10CII seats in the near Future! What we offer: Dedicated server at a datacenter in the Midwest LotAtc server with key Combat Flite mission planning. Custom Liveries OVGME Repository Our Aircraft: Our Primary Focus is the [F-16C] but we are actively seeking pilots for the A-10CII in support for the CAS role. Requirements for Joining: ((Age 18+)) Hotas, Head Tracking (VR, TrackIR, etc) English speaking, and own Persian Gulf, Syria, and NTTR maps. (Modules and Equipment may be acquired within 30days of recruitment) The majority of our Operators reside on the East Coast but we do not have restrictions on your geographical area as long as you can make Training and Mission nights. Our Trainings are currently held on Tuesdays 20:00 EST and our Missions are on held on Saturdays 20:00 EST. We do understand people have lives outside of DCS but we do ask that you give at least 24hrs notice before a scheduled flight if you will be absent as we will need to make adjustments in mission planning, etc. How to Join: Fill out an application at www.JTF111.com, join our Discord, and schedule an Interview with one of our Admins.

Looking for a squadron with weekly campaign missions, realistic IADs, a great community to hang out in, and place to learn your aircraft? https://tvalhalla.com Join Us on Discord! Task Force Valhalla was founded as a place for DCS members to fly together in realistic, coordinated operations while minimizing the milsim nature of most DCS squadrons. While we do have ranks, they are solely tied to the proven proficiency in your airframe, and our squadron commanders are chosen by community vote for their dedication in their airframe. We try to democratize as much as possible in the Task Force and have representatives from all squadrons provide input and vote on any changes that affect everyone. We'd like to think our missions are unique, and we hope to get more active mission makers to increase the storytelling and depth available to our members. We currently use HighDigitSAMs integrated with Skynet-IADS in all of our missions, and implement realistic ROE and border patrols. We try to flesh out the ground environment as much as time allows and are experimenting more and more with voiced AIs! Currently we're midway through our first campaign, which is a police action in Georgia as Ossetian and Abkhazian forces attempt to obstruct the construction of a new pipeline in Georgia and unify as the Alanian Republic. Our campaign nights are FRIDAY, 9PM CST with briefing ramping up 30 minutes beforehand. We also have weekly scheduled training nights every Monday at 9PM CST. We just have a few basic requirements to join • Must be 18 years old to join • Must own the F-16, AJS37 Viggen, A-10CII Tank Killer, or Mirage 2000C OR be willing to own LotATC if you'd just like to GCI. • To fly in weekly ops, we require all members to pass a basic type rating in their chosen aircraft. This basically boils down to being able to takeoff, navigate, use the aircraft's most basic weapons, and land. Most people that have been flying the aircraft for about a week should be able to at least stumble through it successfully and you'll have someone who will help you through it. We're more than happy to train you even if you've never flown the module before or are new to DCS! • We have no attendance requirement, but we do require you to RSVP every week to let our dedicated mission makers have an accurate head count so they can tune the campaigns properly. 93rd Tactical Fighter Squadron "Outriders" Commander: Capt. Hex Director of Ops: M. "D20" Shepard Roster Limit: 18 Slots Available: 2 The 93rd Outriders were founded in September of 2020 as an offshoot of Carrier Strike Group 8, comprised of pilots that were looking to fly in Air Force operations with the F-16. The 93rd specializes in SEAD, DEAD and precision strike missions. We currently have 12 pilots on active roster and are always looking for more! 357th Fighter Squadron "Wyverns" Commander: Capt. R. Greyson Director of Ops: Vacant Roster Limit: 12 Slots Available: 4 The 357th Wyverns were founded in October of 2020 shortly after the 93rd. Much could be said about the 357th, but primarily it specializes in BRRRRRTing and supporting our allies armored divisions on the ground. We currently have 10 pilots on active roster and are looking for 2 more highly active individuals to fly weekly with us! 332nd All-Weather Fighter Squadron "Valkyries" Commander: Capt. Kora "Kortana" Director of Ops: N/A Roster Limit: 6 Slots Available: 0 - Recruiting Closed The 332nd Valkyries was founded by our fearless head of mission making Kortana in an effort to bring the joys of Mirage-ing to the masses. There was a noted gap in American time zone based communities for the Mirage and Kortana saw an excellent opportunity to put together a squadron for her favorite aircraft. Although aging and simpler than the F-16, the 332nd has been providing accurate and aggressive CAP for Task Force Valhalla with minimal losses. In the future we expect the 332nd to include the Eurofighter on it's release. F10 Angelholm "Ragnerok" Commander: Capt. K. Sakhir Director of Ops: Capt. R. "Bean" Green Roster Limit: 9 Slots Available: 0 - Recruiting Closed F10 Ragnerok brings the Viggens to a American friendly time zone and is Task Force Valhalla's surprisingly fastest growing squadron. F10 holds the special distinction of providing all of Task Force Valhalla's precision intelligence. Their ELINT missions are the only reason any flight can use a pre-planned target or has knowledge of the precise location of our adversary's mobile SAM network. When not performing ELINT, F10 has proven themselves as the best deep strike package in all of TFV. >>Our Website<< Discord Currently we institute an application process to screen members before they join. We do this because we want to make sure that applicants meet our age requirement, and that our operations actually meet the experience that they're looking for. It's also a good time to ask any questions you might have! Our application process is pretty straight forward: 1. Apply on our website 2.Join our Discord 3. Do 5-10 minute interview with someone from our recruiting team.

I have been getting frequent blue screens upon starting a A10C II mission in the Reverb headset (pc is fine but DCS freezes) and can only be fixed with a restart. I have never had any issues with DCS or the Reverb until now. I had a 2070 super and now 3080 with the same issue existing on both. I have also done a fresh Win 10 install after the 3080 installation due to a separate issue. I have no trouble in the OG A10c, AV8b or f18. Searches have yielded nothing..if anyone can help, I would be very very grateful! Captain Biscuit

Hi, I've created a couple videos going into some detail about conducting CAS or close air support. I am testing the waters to see if there is a number of people that would like to see something like this continue. Its my first attempt at making a Youtube video and my two videos do have a watermark until I see if others can use this info or even care to take their DCS experience to another level. Thanks for your time! Rifle.
