BuzzU Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I discovered something today that some might not know about trimming. If you don't have TrackIR and use the hat switch on the TM Warthog for views which is normally the trim switch on the real Hog. You still have trim on the hat switch. Just press the LCTRL on your keyboard and now the hat switch is for trim. You could program it to do that, but it's there by default. I haven't read this anywhere, so i'm not sure how many know it. 1 Buzz

GazAce Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Hey BuzzU , I just discovered that very fact the other day too, I saw it in the DCS World A-10C Controls menu, thought I would try and it works great!. I was using keyboard , . ; / and that was finicky but with my hat top switch it doubles as a Trimming and FOV , yep very cool. :o) GazAce's "Skynet Rig" :: :: 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K :: Asus ROG Strix Z790-A Mobo :: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 MSI Gaming Slim GPU 24GB :: NZXT Kraken Elite 280 RGB AIO White Cooler :: G Skill Trident Z Royals DDR4 4x16GB = 64GB :: WD Black SN 850X NVMe SSD 2TB M.2 (C Drive) :: Samsung 860 Pro 2TB SATA (D Drive) & a couple of other Drives adding another 1.5 TB :: Corsair Crystal 680X White Case :: Asus XG349C 34" Curve G-Sync 180Hz 3440x1440 Monitor :: MSI 1000 Watt PSU PCIE5 :: Virpil Constellation Alpha-R Stick with VPC WarBRD Base :: Virpil MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle :: 3 x CubeSim ext mini screens with TM Cougar MFD Bezels :: Asus ROG Pugio 503 Gaming Mouse & Razer BlackWidow mech kb :: TrackIR 5 Pro & Cap Clip :: Win 11 64 Bit
BuzzU Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 Interesting. I never saw it in the manual. I need to pay more attention. I ran across it by accident fooling around with keys. I finally ordered Trackir which i've owned in the past and like. Buying the Warthog controller and a new system to run DCS like it should be has drained my mad money. :( Buzz

BuzzU Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 Yes, I agree. I used it for years with IL2. My biggest decision now is what plane to fly. I really want to fly the A-10C, but there's so much to remember and i'm 74. My memory is not what it used to be. I'm trying, but it's tough for me. Buzz
ex81 Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Yes, I agree. I used it for years with IL2. My biggest decision now is what plane to fly. I really want to fly the A-10C, but there's so much to remember and i'm 74. My memory is not what it used to be. I'm trying, but it's tough for me. Go and get the A-10C. It`s the only bird I`m learning to fly now for more than a year. It takes time and patience to go through all the systems in it. But you can get a lot of good help here in the forum. And it will keep your memory working hard, and this is the best way to stay fit even when you are beyond sixty :thumbup: Old guys rule !!!! What goes up, must come down !

BuzzU Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 I've had it for a few days. That's why I know it's going to be a challenge. The size of the manual was my first clue. ;) Buzz
ex81 Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Yes, nearly 700 pages, but don`t read it like a "good book". I only touch it when there is a spezific question. Reading it from A to Z is way too much information at a time. And a lot of situations are even not described to work your way through them. Ask the plankowners and they will help. It`s what I`m still doing. Have fun. Edited March 23, 2017 by ex81 What goes up, must come down !

BuzzU Posted March 23, 2017 Author Posted March 23, 2017 I didn't try to read it all at once. Not with my memory. I'm reading what i'm working on. I do the training missions and watch a bunch of videos. I like the On The Range videos. He has over 30 of them demonstrating all the systems of the A-10C. Really helpful. Buzz
Sadist_Cain Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Hey there Buzz, always nice to have a new Hawg pilot in the fray! Thought some of these reference materials might be of some use to you in taking the ugly bag of snakes and laying them out straight. HOTAS Commands By SOI A really helpful quick reference chart of all the various HOTAS controls and their function depending on what you have set as SOI. Everything on two pages at a glance and totally invaluable in my opinion. Emergency procedures Checklist A handy lil booklet for when things go pete tong and there's simply not enough time for a youtube video on the subject :)
