Remarkymarkable Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 This is really strange, suddenly my TM stick is not working in multi-player or in campaigns, however it works fine in training missions. Anyone know what might cause that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 correction, it does work in MP, but not in my campaigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 OK, apparently it was something I did in the game settings which leads me to my next question; is there an owners manual for the game? I don't know what all the settings do and don't know where to find out other than through trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavven Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 You can get the manual from the Eagle Dynamics documentation download section: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/ Edit: NINJA'ED BY THE OP (j/k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I just had to rep Remarkymarkable for this remarkable self discussion. Made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 So glad I could provide you all with a chuckle. I've been stumbling around blind for the past four months not knowing how to manage this game. ED should link newbies to their manuals when they sign up. It would be nice to have a hard copy of the manual, but apparently there aren't any. At almost 300 pages, ED must own stock in ink cartridge manufacturing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 What aircraft are you flying? When I started flying the A-10C i got a manual from lulu.com I go this one: http://www.lulu.com/shop/eagle-dynamics/dcs-a-10c-warthog-manual/paperback/product-20469424.html I'm in the UK. I'm sure these are hard copies in the U.S too. Its the same as the pdf manual. Very good to pick up and browse through at your leisure. There are manuals for the ka-50 and P-51 too on this website i notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hi Milli, I have the manual for the plane (A10C) I am talking about the game manual for DCS World. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harzach Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 It's not clear if you are aware of this, but the DCSW manual can be found in your Eagle Dynamics\DCS World*\Doc folder. *may vary according to version you are running 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 I found the manual thanks, I was hoping to be able to get a hard copy. My old eyes get tired of looking at computer screens all day. I'll just have to buy some ink cartridges and print it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I found the manual thanks, I was hoping to be able to get a hard copy. My old eyes get tired of looking at computer screens all day. I'll just have to buy some ink cartridges and print it out. Save your ink money and buy a cheap tablet. You'll always have all the manuals available, even for holidays!. And you can be sure of being able to keep them up to date with the current versions of the software. AND, you can increase the font for your old tired eyes.... :smilewink: 1 Fish's Flight Sim Videos [sIGPIC]I13700k, RTX4090, 64gb ram @ 3600, superUltraWide 5120x1440, 2560x1440, 1920x1080, Warthog, Tusba TQS, Reverb VR1000, Pico 4, Wifi6 router, 360/36 internet[/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansangb Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Or you can get black and white printouts from Lulu. There's a ready made SKU that you can order. Much cheaper than printing it out. Kindle is a good choice, but it's not great for pictures.

Remarkymarkable Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 hansangb; lulu doesn't have the owners manual for DCS World, just the flight manual for the A10-C which I already have, thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickberry49 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 You can get a screen capture program like SnagIT or Hypersnap or a PDF editor and just cut or snap critical sections and paste them in Word. The you can just print the critical parts and not the whole thing. You can collect the bits from each section and paste up a document that covers all the interactions for a specific function. Example, set up a couple of GBU's for drop on a couple of Mark points in a single run. After a while you'll start getting the feel of how all the systems work together... It's a long road if you have never flown before and esp with no military flight exp. It's almost like joining a frat... you have to put in a lot of time and pain to not only to learn the systems but get your joystick, throttle and keyboard set up and then the manual dexterity to run it all at once. I'm at odds with some of the purists that think everyone has to put in the time to learn this stuff... I do agree you do need to learn it but I think the authors would do themselves a big favor if they provided some focused training materials and missions that a new user could jump into and get some enjoyment as well as training right from the start... The manuals are great but they don't put together the interaction of the various systems. For that you need to check out the great job someone did on You Tube putting together the Tutorials channel... Awesome work.... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC90p6sHsL5PN_urMRz65NyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkymarkable Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi Rick, I have made a lot of progress in the 4 months I've been "flying" Although I've never flown a real plane, I have 30 years of navigating and running boats so, I'm not totally lost. I have been watching those YouTube tutorials and they have big help as have the members of this forum. I'm happy to be part of this little community.
