DCS A-10C QUESTIONS

[Asp]

Where is the static pressure port(s) located on the DCS A-10C?

I do not see it referred in the FM but there is a Baro altimeter.

About the TAD page, is there a quide to it and all it's fnctions.

 

Is it possible to make the plane turn and the map would stay north up all the time?

About the TAD page, is there a quide to it and all it's functions.

 

The section on the TAD in the flight manual, starting on page 291, is pretty comprehensive. Is there something you feel is missing?

 

Is it possible to make the plane turn and the map would stay north up all the time?

The EXP1 and EXP2 modes are north-oriented however they're centered on a fixed location rather than your own airplane. Useful to place it over a target area to aid with orientation. Unfortunately in beta3 your own aircraft's icon isn't displayed on the map in EXP mode, which I think/hope is a bug. You can work around this somewhat by selecting CURS OWN or similar so you get the dotted line from your plane's position to the cursor or hooked object.

Hello, when the beta 4 will be release?

Thanks!

As soon as it is ready to go. No fixed timetable.

Why is it when I takeoff with a wingman, The wing man always out climbs me? I can never match his rate of climb. We are both in the same configuration....

I think your posts were moved to the OPEN BETA forum here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=63218. See this thread on how to get access to that forum.... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=58551

When I start a mission in the air, the throttle and control stick work fine. Everything works fine. But when I start a mission on the ground, only the elevator works. In other words, when I start a mission on the ground, I can i advance the throttle on my joystick, but the throttle in the cockpit doesnt budge. I can also apply ailerons with my joystick, but the control stick in the cockpit doesnt move - it only moves correctly when I'm applying elevator. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Watch the producer's note on startup, read the manual section about startup or do the startup training, whichever fits you best. Oh, and plz try getting familiar with the forum search function. :)

At ramp start your throttles are set to OFF. Setting them to IDLE is the part of the engines start procedure. LAlt+Home sets left throttle to IDLE, LCtrl+Home does it for the right throttle. Before moving any throttle to IDLE, be sure that APU is started, electric battery and inverter are ON (and STBY respectively), and fuel pumps are ON.

Stick can not move in certain directions without hydraulics.

When the final version of DCS A-10C wil be released , will we have to do a complete reinstall from beta to final ?

Not sure, but i think it's rather likely.

Hey :)

 

One question. When calling inbound to an ATC they give you a direction and distance. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to measure that distance? Something like a stopwatch, only with distance instead of time, that I can start when i get the responce from the ATC. just something that shows me how far I have flown from my current possition.

 

If im at an airfield without ILS(that can kick in to show me when i have flown long enough) how can I then know when to turn in towards the runway if its by night or bad visibility?

 

Thanks :thumbup:

Hit MK on the UFC to take an overhead markpoint?

Not doing me any good: no matter how many times I search here, I *cannot* find the threads on shaved drunken goats. Were they moved?

hello, the sound barrier will be modeled?

[Laud]

It'll be there, but you won't notice it. :music_whistling::lol:

 

Honestly: It was modeled in LO/FC/FC2, so I think it's still there and breakable for those god gave enough thrust... :pilotfly:

Hello, there is the "bang", but, it isn't visible.

When I say "the sound barrier will be modeled?", I want say visible:

EDIT: Sorry, there is a probleme.

I think it depends on altitude, temp and humidity wether this vapor becomes visual or not. And no, that is not modelled. I don't think it is planned for the near future, as we currently got a sub-sonic aircraft and there are more important things to be done that are not pure eyecandy.

 

However, for a possible fighter-module of DCS it would be a nice little feature.

[Limelime]

Ok, thanks, but in dcs a10, when the F15 or an other aircraft pass the sound barrier, the sound not enough, that it is visible will be cool. Maybe in the final release?

When starting from ramp, my throttles are "locked" until I use the keyboard command (home+ralt/rctrl) to start the engines - which works okay but it seems like being able to just move the throttles up to idle would be preferable. In all the videos and guides I've seen people seem to have no trouble moving their throttles, is there a setting I'm missing?

[Laud]

As long as you're not using the TM Warthog you have to switch the engines from the OFF to the IDLE-Position. The Warthog has some kind of an obstacle you have to lift the throttle-levers above to ignite/switch off the engines. If you could do this with a X-52 throttle for example, you could easily turn off your engines in-flight accidently. That's why you need extra key-commands for that.
