Well for the past while i have been away dealing with my cancer,not even used my pc for diddly squat...Been tired and moody and almost zero patients with much of anything.. Anyways im recovering well gettin back to being me an all..

Now that im up and about and not a bitch(lol)i wanna learn and i got time to do it...Emailed milan about gettin me back on the list for some crosswind pedals,gonna un package my warthog stick n throttle and go from there.. My modules are the froggy/a-10/p-51.. The "SCALES" of aeronautical performance will weigh heavily on your next move..
heloguy Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Glad to hear you're feeling better, and hopefully I can help. I recently started messing around with the A-10 as well, and needed a jump start to figure things out. All of those modules' documents can be found in their respective folders. If you look in your install folder under \mods\aircraft\"module name here" you should find a docs folder that has the .pdf flight manuals for everything. If you're just starting out, then the biggest hurdle at first will be setting up your controls. The A-10C is easy, since you have a Warthog. You don't really need to set up the joystick with this module, as DCS does it for you. If you want the stick buttons to have multiple assignments, you'll have to set up a 'modifier' function using a button of your choice on the joystick. Pedals will be a big help with all of them. For the other modules, I recommend deleting all of the joystick settings (buttons and axes), and reassigning them as you figure out what you use the most. Also, when you do this, be careful not to delete all of the key settings, only the joystick settings. Use the 'Clear Category' function for your joystick. If you mess it up, just use the rest to defaults button. After you have your joystick set up, as well as some reading materials to get you familiar, definitely check out the training scenarios. They helped me immensely, and are really well done. That was my springboard. Once I was comfortable with them, I moved into online with the P-51 (DoW Server), and those guys helped me out a great deal with the that aircraft. The other ones, I don't really play online much with, save the other WW2 modules. Anyway, hope that helps. There are also a ton of You Tube videos you can google to help you get started with just about any task these aircraft perform. 1 i9 12900k @ 4.9ghz, 64gb RAM Nvidia RTX 3090 Windows 11 x64 Pimax Crystal VP Force Rhino w/RS F16GRH, Virpil TCS Rotor Plus AH-64 Collective, BRD F1 Pedals, WH Throttle, FSSB R3 w/WH Grip, PointCTRL v2
BFBunny Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Don't forget the in-game training. It helps loads to teach you how to start up and do some other stuff.
lobo Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Hey ya Bluenoser! For the A-10c I put together a checklist that will help you with startup and weapons etc. Link in the sig below. Have a look it might be of some use. Lobo's DCS A-10C Normal Checklist & Quick Reference Handbook current version 8D available here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/172905/
