Astro Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Hey! Iv tried for days now to learn how to reset gimbal to the default place in the hud after a bomb run or something like that when you turn and the gimbal is out of limits....I want to easy reset it but I cant!? The same with the Mav gimbal...how to reset that? And is it possible to zoom with mav cam like in the TGP? I know how to zoom in tgp but not in mav cam? I hope for answers. Thanks guys!
baltic_dragon Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 For mav you can have the wide field of view or narrow one, just press China Hat Forward short. You can't zoom the maverick like TGP, it works much worse as a sensor. As for reset, can't help - would have to check the manual. For more information, please visit my website. If you want to reach me with a bug report, feedback or a question, it is best to do this via my Discord channel. Details about the WinWing draw can be found here. Also, please consider following my channel on Facebook.
Wrecking Crew Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I'm not at home right now so can't give the pages -- in the DCS A-10C manual there are a few pages (~88-92?) that have tables of the functions for the China Hat, DMS and TMS switches. I transferred this info to Excel and printed out the tables and stuck them above my keyboard for quick access.

All released missions are available for free download, modification and public hosting, from my Wrecking Crew Projects site.

Astro Posted January 16, 2015 Author Posted January 16, 2015 what ever you want to reset, it must be SOI 1st, then chinahat aft SHORT will center the camera Thanks all for the answers! China hat aft is the red slide/"button" on the bottom right of the trottle right? Yea, i need to get a manual that shows all the names of the buttons on hotas warthog! Im new to this sim and I love that it acually is a real flight sim. Love that its so complex but it takes a long time to learn! ☺
FlyingHighAU Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 try the in game hands on training missions, they seem a little bit daunting at first, but if you do each one 5-10 times between some fun gun run missions then you'll be proficient in no time :)

StrongHarm Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Try Tank Busting 101. It's my GAU instruction mission.. and it has some fun stuff mixed in. I've talked to a few people that say they fly it more than any other mission.. which is pretty damned flattering really.. I personally don't think it's quite that good heheh. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1222074/ I've just launched a Live Fire Exercise mission as well. It's good for overall procedural analysis and getting it right before things get hairy. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1222073/ Vid: If you're referring to the Gimbal error on TGP, I clear it by doing an aileron roll. There are other methods, but I find this to be the quickest. Also, if you want to easily set your sensors to your last target try using your Z Mark. I find this convenient especially when I eyeball a target and want to keep headsup in a high threat area. Just spray a little 30mm at the target (or other ordinance) and whatever your last target point was will automatically become a Z Mark. You can then select the Z Mark, quickly setting your sensors while maintaining good situational awareness. The added benefit of doing an initial attack to set Z Mark is that it usually stops moving vehicles making them fish in a barrel. Manual P.466 (it's critical to RTFM my friend) Weapon Event: Each time a weapon is released, a Z markpoint is created. Each subsequent weapon release replaces the last Z markpoint. Mark Point: Once you have created one or more markpoints, you must set the AAP STEER PT dial to the MARK position in order to select and cycle through the markpoints you’ve created. With MARK selected on the STEER PT dial, you may use the ± Rocker Switch on the CDU to select the desired markpoint. If you have HUD set as SOI and the AAP set up to MARK, you may also use DMS Up and Down to cycle through markpoints. When cycling through markpoints in such a manner, the selected markpoint becomes the steerpoint and SPI by default. It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

StrongHarm Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Here's an analysis and reference for the HOTAS. Go to the original post for editable files. Simplified reference for HOTAS functions. This is to provide a better format (one page rather than the manual's 8.)
