DCS A-10C QUESTIONS

[Foreigner 139]

Hello, guys!

I'm a beginner here and I have a question.

When I'm landing at A-10A (Lock On FC2) using ILS approach, the glide path, indicated at ADI and HUD, leads the aircraft not to the edge of runway, but to the point about 2600 ft further. I wonder, if it the same in reality?

If I maintain altitude slightly below recommended glide path, intending to touch down close to the edge of runway, the ATC says me repeatedly: "You are below glide path. You are below glide path . You are below glide path… ", getting me nervous.

I keep attempting to download the 1.1.0.7 patch and every time that I click the link, it just returns me to DCS: A-10 "purchase" page. Any suggestions?

 

Get the torrent.

On a startup, eac didn't turn on, eac switch was on, and so was the eac light on cautions panel, what did i do wrong in the start up?

Well, I've searched and searched but I cant find it...how do you get the 3D pilot to show up in the cockpit view?

[MTFDarkEagle]

Not, it's not been introduced (yet I hope).

I don't think you can just enter a name and have it show up (good idea, though). There are skin templates that you can edit here: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/misc/a-10c_model_templates/

 

Then you can select your custom skin in-game.

Hi,

Id like to confirm (perhaps I will reinstall od DCS A10 to SSD drive)

 

ALL MY FILES (like profiles of HOTAS, settings of options and keys, progress in Campaigne, logbook, medals ect) are saved in:

 

C:\Users\User\Saved Games\DCS Warthog

 

(not in game folder?)

It's a .psd file, so you'd open it with photoshop or gimp or something similar.

Also in the video the caution lamps appear blue. Are they green or blue?

 

I HAVE seen pictures of A-10 cockpits with apparently more green lights, but those cockpits are so cobbled together from scattered parts that you can't know how it should look from photos...

Excuse the question, as it exits the boxed version of DCS A-10C?

Hello! New pilot in the forum! :)

 

Last night I was playing the first C-SAR mission in the "The Shore" campaign and had almost removed all threats around the pilot when 2 MiG-29 got reported from the AWACS some 50 NM from me and my flight.

 

I figured, alright, the 6 CAP F15Es will take care of it, but 5 minutes later the 29s appeared on my radar warning and some seconds later shot all my flight down, while observing the F15Es not moving at all from their CAP orbit...

 

Is this bad mission design or simply bad AI?

[Witchking]

I probably am in not a position to judge this as I am still waiting for the steam release, but from everything I have seen, is there a reason why ED reverted to weak smoke effects for the missiles (mavericks especially)? I mean watch a video on youtube and you can see the smoke should be thick and full. In-game it just is very light and doesn't look that good at all.

Yup, same question here. I'm kinda used to having them saved in the installation folder. I clean the album every other month removing some crappy shots so it doesn't fill up my partition, and I don't wanna lose them during system reinstallation.

 

I wonder if there's a way to change this setting back.

Haven't played the mission but had a quick look in the editor; the closest friendly CAP to the extraction area will only engage targets about 40 km past it. So if you're in that area, there's a good chance the MiGs will be able to fire on you before the F-15s get into range. The other flight of two are even further back and will only engage targets that are out over the sea.

 

I think the best thing to do would be to try running away until it's safe, if at all possible. Even if the F-15s do engage, there's no guarantee they'll win.

 

Also, there's up to three pairs of MiGs that can come after you. Not all at the same time, though.

Yesterday i also started "The Shore" campaign and had a similar problem. I have cleared the extraction zone and called the black hawk.

After he had arrived at the pilot, the black hawk began to hover. About 5 mins later Migs showed up and i had to RTB.

 

Black Hawk was still hovering and was shot down by the Migs.

 

So every time i play this mission the black hawk gets stuck while he hovers near the pilot.

 

any advice? :)

Yellow tick

 

What is the yellow tick or line outside the airspeed indicator? It seems to mark 205 knots or there about.

 

Anything special about this airspeed?

 

It reminds me of other types of airspeed indications in other aircraft: maximum flap operating speed and the like.

 

Just wondering. Not important, but this is the question thread. :)

[JS]

It's 210 knots, and here's why it's important:
