New to DCS

[Spider808]

Hi, I'm new to DCS but not flight sims.  I have questions/problems and am looking for help.

First, in all the You Tube videos are all tower commands, as well as, HUD symbology in English but in my game Russian?  e.g. waypoint and launch authorization.

Second, I purchased the A10 module but every startup video sequence moves so fast that I cant keep up and I'm an A&P mechanic. The training video for the A10 stops three min. into the procedure.

Third, is there a cockpit instrument/switch layout available that I can reference?

Finally for now, I tried to install the black HUD instrumentation for the A10 with no luck and is there an update for aal aircraft the accept the black HUD symbology?

1) You can set the avionics language in the settings. Note that the Ka-50-3 is an exception in that regard. 

2) Which A-10? In case of the A, its just a matter of a few key presses. In case of the C, you can pause the videos or use the manual to your aid. The manual is located here: Your DCS installation path/DCS World/mods/aircraft/A-10C/doc.

3) Maybe what you are looking for is in the manual? 

4) Generally speaking changing the HUD color is a "simple" matter of finding the correct file that defines the HUD and then adjust the RGB color to get black. Have you made sure you installed the mod correctly? Otherwise what you could do is try to find that one specific file and change the RGB values yourself.

I would also recommend Chuck’s guides for DCS. He covers all the aspects of getting started with the A-10. I use his guides along with YouTube videos and the training in the game. Between those, you can’t go wrong.
