Greb Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Well my logbook says I have broke 40 hours in the Sim and I have not even tried certain aspects to it yet. I can only imagine the hours some of the Beta Testers have. Those 40 hours to me felt quick and not enough to do all I want in this sim. I have mostly flown button masher missions. I saw that expression posted here in the forum. Oh well to each their own. DCS: A10C will fill the needs of many a Flight Sim addict. There are so many aspects to A10. You can be the infamous dark Reaper that fly's above and chooses his souls without a whisper, or you can be the gunfighter in the street....mano el' mano! Like I stated I have rang up those 40 hours doing mostly rock tossing missions. Those in close scenario's. I fly the damn thing like a P-47 coming in low, guns a blazing. You know of what I speak. That less then a thousand feet off the deck, target is a less then a 2 miles out, and he has got you zeroed. You pull into a hard banking turn trying not to drop a wing, fighting to put your pipper on him and the window is closing fast. Then you put that dot on him and grab for first trigger stage, you hold your breath and pull second stage, then....... BRAHHHHHHHHHH!!! He's SMOKED!!!!! You pop flares and chaff, grabbing for air, looking over your shoulder for that POP! .......it is so satisfying! I giggle like a little girl every time I do it! The other big thing that does it for me in this Sim is the Damage Modeling. It is so amazing how far it has come along. If the real A10 holds up as well as the one in the Sim, then it is one tough little bastard. Up until the last few flight sims, if you got hit you were dead. I have flown the A10C home on one engine, with missing limbs, everything in the cockpit dead, just you, the throttle and the stick. I have even dead sticked it to the tarmac. Shot up wing running out fuel on approach. We know why that happens and that's because you are still able to fly while on target. You know after you drop your heavy stuff you get down to do your first gun run now there is no weight left on the wings. You are free to kill at will. You arm the gun and draw a bead on some poor BMP and he tags and engine, but you stay on target because you got 500 rounds and 3 soft targets left. Yeah 40 hours just isn't gonna be enough!

Arcturus323 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Your description to our addiction brings a guilty smile. I really can't wait for the full working title as it so easy to get lost in this title. (great Sim) Once we get the reload and repair function working I could see sending hours on just one mission. thanks. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83Ghz | ASUS P5KPL-CM Mobo | ATI HD3870 Running 2xDisplay | Cougar Thrustmaster MFDs | Saitek ST90 |Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals l TrackIR 5 Pro Clip | Logitch G5 Mouse | Several Rolls Of Duct Tape.
RaoulDuke1980 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I just cant wait til they fix the damn recoil bug... But for me, trying to drop mk82s right on a tank turret is fantastic :) I've spent hours on this, the amount of mk82's the a10c can carry is ridiculous. "Eject eject eject! Say goodbye, a**hole."

I usally take Rockets with me for the practice ya know! In the last few missions I have replaced them with Mk82 Airs. I like the airs because you can have them through out the rack. There is nothing finer then coming in hot and low and dropping one right on a turret! I love it!

It makes it easier then starting over when you totally screw up. That way you can keep practicing and don't have to back out of the game, but yeah you could spend hours in one target area!
kylania Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Just logged my 15th hour. Even got promoted to First Lt! :) I probably have another 6-7 hours logged in MP as well.

kingneptune117 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 maybe this is off topic, but with the airs, the parachute never deploys. ive tryed messing with the fuses but that doesnt really work.

Yeah Neptune! I use them because you can lace the entire wing with them. The Standard 82 wont go on the outer Rack! Just a bigger bag of rocks!
