WarriorX Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 Just in case you guys didn't see it, there is a wiki page for DCS A-10C. Look at the top of your Forum page and it says "wiki".

Helios Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Just in case you guys didn't see it, there is a wiki page for DCS A-10C. Look at the top of your Forum page and it says "wiki". Yes, but to be fair the current wiki - though quite useful - is far from the type of learning portal I was suggesting. Having a wiki is not necessarily the same as having a great wiki :-) ASUS Maximus IV Extreme B3 | Intel i7-2600K | 16GB DDR3 1600MHz | GeForce GTX 580 1536MB | Corsair SSD 128GB | TrackIR4 Pro | Saitek X52 Pro | CH Pro Pedals | Win7 x64
WarriorX Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 Then I encourage all of you to create the New Pilot area on the existing wiki, and make it great. There is no sense in making a separate and new wiki for new pilots, that will just fracture things even more. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Is that you John Wayne?.......Is this me?"

jpanside Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 haha just what I was looking for. Just bought this game on Steam. I downloaded all the pdf guides and will read them through. Btw, are there instructional videos that are helpful for beginners? I watched the start up video on youtube by the DCS producer. Would love to see more. Thank you.

All of WariorX's online tutorials are EXCELLENT also (please see his forum auto sig for links) To be fair, a lot of these are medium to advanced, but I think you can reach teh "medium" point (an arbitrary distinction!) pretty quikley to where you'll actually want to know how to input UTM coords manually or set up an Offset in the EGI Edited May 14, 2011 by nemises
WheelChair Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Many Thanx for bring this all together... I see this mention of the training videos that come with the game and the terms/jargon used and the extra non-essential information clutters them up. I found as a new Pilot that the You Tube videos and guides have educated me far beyond what the training vids in game have done and once I obtained that data I then went to the training vids in game and still don't know what they are talking about 1/5 the time but it is getting beter. I just want to say thanx to the many in the community that have contributed to my education by far it is not complete but I find one more good piece of data everytime I look for something else. Keep it coming and the new Pilots stand a great chance of sticking it out! Thanx again, Wheels PS. WarriorX said it early on and it was the turning point for me understanding weapon employment the SPI setting the Sensor Point of Interest is vital; things will fall into place once this is accomplished and will become 2nd hand. Also learn early on there is a difference between the SOI Sensor Of Interest and the SPI (mentioned above). W__ Read the manual, fly the training missions, if you don't understand it read the manual more, get as much of the basics together as you can....... ........and don't worry about getting online! Just do it. The majority of the more finer detail I have learned has been online with other pilots (some will be more helpful than others but don't hold it against them, they want to fly as much as you and may not be in the mood for teaching/training that evening especially if they have been doing it for the past few nights) This is much easier if you have voice comms than it is using chat as people can talk you through how to do things. So find out and practice as much as you can...then come chat!! Online is the way forward aswell!!:D Edited May 14, 2011 by WheelChair spelling error
twistedneck Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 WHeelchair and all the other helpful sim pilots here hello! I have found the first real sim since falcon 3.0 on my 486dx2 (before most of you were born back in 1992).. And your community here is very helpful and actaully made me like the game way more. I bought a couple copies to focus on lan play. After reading these manuals, printing, maxing out the graphics out to beyond... i found the people here smart and finally a game you have to learn deep on first, and a game that is not console focused. i suffered with hawx 2, did ya'll feel the same? 1
WarriorX Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 Welcome to the Forums twistedneck! I agree, it sure felt good to get back into a Study Sim, and the addition of the GAU 8 is just the topping on the cake! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Is that you John Wayne?.......Is this me?"

gharness84 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 THANK YOU for the new pilots guide. After studying SOI and SPI I feel 100x's more confident in this aircraft. Everything makes a LOT more sense if you can wrap your head around these two features! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] _______Spreading peace. One JDAM at a time. :beer:_______

Frostiken Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Hah, I still suck at finding targets... trying to get used to playing without labels. There was a target on a hillside I was looking for, and I was looking right at it but couldn't see it because of the awful contrasting terrain. Only reason I saw him is he fired an ATM and the huge heat explosion gave him away :p [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BLuDKLoT Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I can't even get the start up memorized! heh, but I will pwn this very soon and then all hell's going to break loose! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] www.veterans-gaming.com

ryyy Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Thank you THANK YOU for all that have contributed. I myself and dedicating tonight memorizing start-up procedures. I hope I can get in the air soon as I'd like to fly with you all and learn more! TTT! Oh, and why isn't this stickied!?
LcSummers Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Thank you for helping newbies First of all thank you for bringing up this thread. I have DCS a-10C since 1 or two month. Finally i managed to learn the start up procedure, now dont need a "help" for this any more. I really like to start up, taxiing and to take off. :lol: Now its the second step (training vids), navigation and learning the MCFDs. Its a litlle bit hard i dont give up. THIS IS REALLY THE BEST SIM. I flew sims from th 1980s. I have waited until i get a DVD version, now i am eager to learn to fly it and handle this beauty called HOG. :thumbup: I really wait for that book with nearly 800 pages. Cant wait to have it and read it. I must say i had problems installing it at the beginning. But there was is much help from many on this forum. Without this help, it would have been very nuch harder. So again, THANX for the developers, members who helped me to enjoy this great sim even much more!!!!!:thumbup: LC
SDeath Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Normal and Emergency Interactive Checklists I finished my work on a normal and emergency Interactive checklist system created in Microsoft Excel 2010. I use it on my MacBook (running Windows 7) next to my 2 monitors so I have a Interactive checklist system I can follow. It has a menu from which you can choose the checklist you need and check all items of as you follow the list. No need for papers checklists anymore. And not all of us have an iPad, but most do have a laptop.

Underleft Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 New pilots get junior officer collateral duties pick any two of the following: 1 - Venereal Disease Control Officer. You will brief the enlisted of the dangers of unprotected sex. Be sure to mention Black Syphilis. 2 - Substance Abuse Control Officer. You will supervise the filling of urinalysis bottles. 3 - Movie Officer - You will be solely responsible for the movie to be shown in the ready room? It had better not suck. Good luck finding something no one has seen yet. Female pilot in the squadron? No skin. It had still better be good. 4 - Enlisted berthing inspection officer - You will discover PFC Johnson's stroke sock. 5 - CBRN Readiness Officer - You will count gas masks in perpetuity. You better hope another newer pilot checks into the squadron, and soon, because you will never get the same number twice. 6 - SORTS Bitch. You don't ever wanna know. 7 - Flight Schedule Bitch - You will write the next days' flight schedule...over and over and over and over....stand by for Change 57. 8 - MWR Officer - supervise handing out towels in the gym. 9 - Hydration Officer - Ensure all the enlisted dudes drink water and don't pass out on the flight line or flight deck. And Number Ten: PHONE WATCH :) Hah, Phone Watch! No lunch for you!
Skeeter Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Hello to the A10 community from a new (ah not a hog driver) I would say a hog’s tail (so far behind the aircraft I just follow it around unless it backs up). Let me say thanks for all the work and effort put into getting the info out there for us “new guys/gals” to utilize and get up to speed on the A10. Had this sim for about 1 week now and all I can say is…..well I can’t say that on here. I’ve been flying sims since the 90s and came over from the ka-50 and I am still overwhelmed. Keep up the good work and thanks again. Oh yea I choose Movie Officer....lol “Shiny Switch Method” :thumbup:1. You only need to flip the switches that are shiny. Someone before you figured out those make the aircraft work no need to second guess it. :(2. Never fly an aircraft with a shiny ejection handle.
