Great tut, but step 22 says "left engine start" well.. how do i start the engines??..

Ono more q.. where do i find the pdf check list.. i saved the jpg end trim it, but i would like to have the pdf

Right Alt + HOME to start left engine

Right CNTRL + HOME to start right engine.

It moves the throttle from cut off to idle and it will auto-start.

The pdf for the checklist is in "...\Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Missions\ITT01 - Interactive Startup Trainer Tester\" with the mission file.

For the DCS World version the checklist is in ""...Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Doc\".

To start the engines via keyboard (from SimHQ's DCS A-10C Startup Quick Reference):

17. Move Left Throttle from OFF to IDLE (Right ALT + Home).

18. Wait for left engine to run normal and stable.

19. Move Right Throttle from OFF to IDLE (Right CTRL + Home).

Thanks for reply

I did use RAlt + Home for left engine, but nothing seems happing... Maybe i just didn't give it enough time. I waiting for about 15 mins.

Thanks Sabre, i'll take a look at SimHQ's reference :-)

Check your control settings under options.

I also show RAlt + End and RCTRL + End to stop the Left and Right engines.

Lol and do not forget you have only 8 minutes cadet to start her up and 2 minutes to shut it down.

Thanks for help

I think i have made an error some where in the startup process, but it works

:thumbup: great tutorial for noop's like me

8 minutes.. i think i have done it in 15 - 20 minutes LOL

but i'm get a bit faster for every time.. btw i got the trackir thing the other day.. what an improvement... when one get used to it

Download updated to match new \aircraft directory in DCS World 1.2.10.32095.

ED recently updated the 1.2.16 release to 1.5.2. Now called the 1.5 Stable Release.

We have updated our missions and installers to support this new release.

The updated package for this mission is available here.

Hi, will this be made available for DCS 2.5+?

Thanks,

It's included in the the A-10C Basic Flight Training Campaign which has been updated for DCS 2.5+.

Thanks for the info. I own this campaign and see both interactive startup and shutdown trainer tester .miz files in my Eagle Dynamics > DCS World > Mods > campaigns > A-10C - Basic Training Qualification folder, but I cannot find those files anywhere within DCS World to launch. I have checked Instant Action, Mission, Campaign, and Training ... and cannot find these missions anywhere to fly. I am using the most current version of DCS World Beta (2.5.2.20601). Thank you.

ED made a change to the mission structure so you can't open them from within the menus.

You can open them from the Mission Editor by pointing the folder to:

<your drive letter>:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\campaigns\A-10C - Basic Flight Training Qualification

All the missions are there and you can play the campaign missions again using this same method.

I got this to work last night. These two, and the other practice missions (which I were unaware of previously) seem to be just as high quality as the main campaign missions. It is a shame you have to drill down so far to access these files. It sounds like may not have much say in the current situation as it pertains to the campaign menu functions but for what its worth, I would prefer to have the option to select these interactive trainers and practice missions in the campaign menu prior to attempting the evaluation missions.

I do want to say I am enjoying these and look forward to something similar for the hornet.
