DCS A-10C QUESTIONS

[Poor mans sniper]

One thing about this game bugs me. All screenshot are above, or near Nellis AFB, near Las Vegas, Nevada.

 

Can i assume that the Russian Federation has invaded US, or screenshots are purely for show-off?

The new terrain is for the training missions.

[HitchHikingFlatlander]

But we can still use it for Red Dawn scenarios!

 

WOLVERINES!!!!!!

WOLVERINES!!!!!!

 

Or just pretend they aren't in Nevada like they do IRL.

[Speed]

DCS Black Shark already has a mod that allows the use of VON. It even integrates it with your aircraft's radio.

 

You are talking about the thing that only works with TS2, correct?

[JaNk0]

Nevada Desert, perfect for Red Flag!

[Deadman]

One thing that bugs me is when new guys start bitchen about some thing they should do a little home work on.

 

Such as the Nellis terrain. A huge amount off work has been done on it by people that just want to fly over it .It was started By Hawg11 worked on by the Simod team before the break up. Then one of the youngest member of Simod Luckybob9 has persisted to the point of obsession with the terrain. To the point of starting over on it increasing the DEM to a higher quality and using the highest quality terrain images.to the point of convincing Wags to not kill the project.

 

You will not find a higher resolution more realistic combat operation area in a combat flight sim.You just have no idea of the time spent on it I am not talking of days,weeks or months ,But over a year of his and other free time

 

Now that is dedication. So before you start crying its in the states may be you say a small thank you to a good guy from Cali that wanted to fly the desert.

:thumbup:

luckybob9 has done excellent work on Nevada :)

[Avilator]

Why would anyone whine about having more high-quality terrain to fly over anyway? Bigger=Better, right? Only if it is good, and I have no doubt that it will be excellent.

[Rambler91]

Deadman, you think that i'm complaining about how textures are ugly??? :huh: :doh:

 

I asked, if Nevada is portrayed, does that means that (in ingame world, not real) Russia invaded US (just like in World in Conflict)? And i was wrong, it is used as a training grounds.

 

Looks like we're about to land at Kobuleti again (Flaming Cliffs 2 and DCS:Black Shark region :noexpression: )

[Deadman]

No Not at all I stated what I know quit clearly. You did not ask if Nellis was portrayed you stated " One thing about this game bugs me. All screenshot are, or near Nellis AFB, near Las Vegas, Nevada."

 

I only pointed out that it bugs me when new member of these forms make statements with out doing any research or having any knowledge on a subject.In this case witch comes across in English in a negative way.

 

The subject being that the Nellis area is the new map for DCS A-10C and that it has mostly if not completely been done by volunteers.

 

So in short my post was just about something that bugged me just as yours was.

 

I just notice this is my 900 post and its not about flying what am i doing LOL

[Deadman]

Ok here is a question for the Beta testers is the any time wile your flying the A-10C.

That the do no exceed speed flag on the Speed indicator moves to reduce the max do not exceed speed?

As Listed on page 5-4 and 5-8 of the T.O

 

STRIPED POINTER WILL MOVE TO INDICATE

LIMITING STRUCTURAL AIRSPEED

 

AIRSPEED LIMITATIONS

Refer to instrument markings illustration (figure 5-1).

I. With or without stores:

a. One or both hydraulic systems operative -

450 KIAS or Mach 0.75, whichever is lower.

b. Both hydraulic systems inoperative (manual

reversion) - 390 KIAS or Mach 0.75, whichever is

lower.

2. Maximum airspeed with landing gear and/ or

!laps extended is 200 KIAS.

[Olgerd]

Thousands of such questions could be asked. Why this one?

[Krunkskimo]

Is the Canopy Ejection switchy funcational???

Brave man.. that looks dangerous..

W.I.P.

I have a question regarding the TM HOTAS WARTHOG. (i think i will buy one)

 

There are some switches on the throttle stick (fuel pumps, apu etc.)

 

How do they sim work with the HOTAS together? What happens if i switch the APU on the HOTAS to "ON" and then click with the mouse in the cockpit the switch to "OFF"? will the apu shut off and the switch (in the cockpit) flip automatically to apu "ON" because on the HOTAS it is in the "ON" position?

 

I am asking this because the autostart function, if i press WIN+POS1 for autostart but on my HOTAS for example the APU switch is in "OFF" position or the fuel pump switches are "OFF", what happens to the autostart process?

 

thx for any infos :)

[Deadman]

to answer 159th_Viper I pulled apart my air speed indicator and just want to know if i need to hook the that function.

to BABU Why are you proud of being a smart ass with nothing to contribute to the answer?

 

You must be proud of this question.

Good question. Comes back to the whole syncronization thing with pit switches. Im curious myself.

[GGTharos]

Ok the personal stuff is over.

[Deadman]

Well the question was posted in the correct thread, and addressed to the Beta testers and not the ED developers. The information i am asking for can only be provided by some on that is currently using the simulator . Who else can i ask if it is included ?So I asked for an answer on line on the forms of the developer of the sim.The speed indicator has been put back together thank you for your concern.As for the personal attacks in the rest of your post you need to work on your communication skills. Thanks for the Neg rep and your welcome for the one i gave you:megalol:

 

 

I'm surprised that "smartass" dude like you, can't find answer to this "question" online, and now you expect ED guys to drop everything whatever they're doing and start looking for your answer, like they havn't got anything better to do. How about you accept responsibility for your own actions and if you took a decision to pull it appart, now put it back together without disturbing the rest of the world, so I and the other guys can get A-10C sim on time. As far as I can remember you're pretty good at pulling all sorts of doc's online.

How is that for contribution?

[Avilator]

From the manual for the A model: "The airspeed indicator (25, figure FO-I), on the instrument panel, is graduated CW from a 50-knot minimum indication in increment.s of 10 knots to a maximum indication of 550 knots. A barrel in the top center of the dial displays a scale from 0 - 100 knots, in 2-knot increments. The striped pointer, which is altitude compensated, moves to indicate the limiting structural airspeed or the airspeed representing the limiting Mach number. A yellow mark indicates the limiting airspeed for use of full wing flaps and gear extension."

 

From this, it seems as if the barber pole moves only as altitude changes. This makes the most sense to me, as that is how other aircraft I am familiar with function. But I may be wrong.

 

@Babu: His post does contain a question mark, the answer will benefit all simpit builders (including myself), and that sure looked personal to me. After all, this thread was made for the specific purpose of asking questions like this one.

[Kegetys]

In DCS A-10C, can you have multiple clients flying in the same flight in multiplayer? In FC2 it seems you need to create a new flight (with duplicate waypoints etc.) for each client which is quite laborous for making coop missions.

[=Panther=]

I am asking this because the autostart function, if i press WIN+POS1 for autostart but on my HOTAS for example the APU switch is in "OFF" position or the fuel pump switches are "OFF", what happens to the autostart process?

I don't have DSCW but I do have the Warthog HOTAS. The switch sends a keystroke once it's in the desired position. The switch doesn't repeat the keystroke over and over or you would have stuttering issues. You do bring up an excellent question, I would assume the sim would still start regardless of the position of your HOTAS switches since the game sent that keystroke.

[Teej]

Pardon the off topic...I got forwarded a link to a message which I replied to...didn't realize until after I'd posted this was in the DCSA10 forum. :D

 

Depends on the programming you put on the stick.

 

As I understand it, DCS A-10 will auto-recognize the stick and basically be preprogrammed for it...so I don't know what its response will be.

 

As is, there's nothing requiring you to use the switches according to their labels. I don't think there's even an "APU" switch in FC2. I don't have the APU switch mapped to do anything in my current profile.

[EvilBivol-1]

Switch state is recognized according to the latest change either on the HOTAS or in the sim. DCS Warthog will include an option to synchronize the cockpit switches to the settings on the HOTAS at mission start.
