Tutorial: Mark points and Weapons for starters.

[Chrisakky]

Hi all.... just like to make public my tutorial explaining everything I struggled with when I was starting out in DCS A10. It explains how to create mark points and save them as way-points. And how to fire AGM-65's, and drop GBU-31's, GBU-12's with a little gunnery. It's boring as hell but I think it gets the point across. I hope it helps :thumbup:

Thanks--nice, clear and concise.

Thanks for the contribution to help the influx of new pilots :thumbup:. Would have been nice if you stated that instead of creating a flight plan you can also go into MARK mode using the UFC which is a lot faster.

Nearly, all you have to do is on the UFC press the Function key and then the number 8 key to access MARK mode. Then you can cycle the mark points, when your done just press Function + 7 to go back to your original flight plan with your original steer point selected. There's no need to really add it in since it would take a while to explain in the annotations. Maybe stick it in the description as an after thought.

No problem. I just prefer to do it this way, the only time I really create flight plans is if I have two groups of separate targets and I want to group them in a nice way. For example, I may want to group my spotted air defence's in a separate flight plan to that group of tank's it's protecting.

Its in my favorites/training bin. Thank you.

 

I cant say enough, as a noob, the importance of training material provided by experienced operators. You understand the pain of learning the system and often player training aids are better. They are always appreciated.

All set into the description... thanks for your correction :thumbup:

Couldn't agree more about player training aids... ~ 80% of what I put in this video, I learned from video's and written information from the community... the manuals fine but it really helps to be shown step be step what to do, which is the reason I put together this video.
