112th_Rossi Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Just thought I would invite a few new pilots to a session I'm hosting on Sunday. It's for new pilots who want to get to grips with the basic systems and to have a bit of fun. Next Session: Sunday 21st August Basic Training for New Pilots Instructor: Rossi Time: 2000HRS BST Covering the following: Cockpit Awareness and Familiarisation Start up and Ground Communications Taxing and Take Off Clearance Navigation and INS Functions Sensors and Sensor Point of Interest TGP Employment and Target Designation Weapons and Weapon Configuration Employment of Weapons Landing and Shutdown All pilots should be on Teamspeak :) I'll post more details up soon and on http://www.teamgamers.co.uk Update: We will be on the GoingUgly server which can be found in the server listing. Please join Teamspeak on: 81.19.212.29 port 9987 password TGUK (upper case) and joing the Other Gaming channel.

Write them down on paper. You will have great difficulty if you don't know these commands. For the next session I am hoping to have a few more instructors so we can take on more people.

UberFinn Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Wow this sounds great. I just got this game a few days ago and am struggling to understand things through the tutorial missions. I get so far and then lose track of something or don't understand and there's no way to skip back or ahead to the certain points. I'm new to flight simulators and have a Saitek X45 but I don't really know how to map the controls that well so I am just using default (meaning most buttons and the HAT switches don't function in game) and the keyboard. I promise I won't try to crash you though! I just have small issues like understanding the ingame ATC lingo (much different than FSX or civilian aircraft) and small stuff like that. Hopefully I will be able to make this. I need to get a good mic. Any suggestions?
Booger Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Yeah, I would love to jump on this, but I'm working on figuring out what I need to do to make the game a bit smoother. At the moment it's like watching a slide show.
112th_Rossi Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Hi UberFinn (welcome to the forums) I bought a Saitek gaming headset for about £25 which works very well. The most essential controls you need to have on your stick are following: TMS Up/Aft/Left/Right DMS Up/Aft/Left/Right Coolie Hat HOTAS Slew Pinkie Switch Master Control Mode Select Nose Wheel Steering Air Brakes (if possible) Boat Switch Left/Right/Centre Aircraft Trim Landing Gear / Flaps would help but not essential I have bound these to my X52 using nothing but the internal control options in DCS. Hopefully you can do the same with your X45 even though theres not as many buttons. Perhaps the programming software will help. Having these controls on your stick will help emmensely. Finding the appropriate key combinations on the keyboard is a real pain.

112th_Rossi Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 Also, I think I can host up to 4 players on my DSL connection so it'll be first come first served :)
Booger Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 What are you specs? AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.9g 4g DDR2 NVIDIA GeForce 210 1g Win7 x64 Certainly not a booming system, but I'm fine in BS with it. A-10 seems to be a bit much. The wife & I have identical systems so I was going to borrow her RAM & see if that does the trick before looking at any major replacing. Unfortunately she's quite the gamer too, so sneaking off with her sticks, even briefly, is quite the task. Cheating on her would be easier :lol:
112th_Rossi Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 I have an athlon based system too. I found that the power profiles in Windows 7 seem to cause the CPU to thottle down. Try going into power management in Control Panel and set your power profile to high performance. See if that makes any difference. My system is an Athlon II X4 with a ATI 5770 1GB, so not that much different to yours.
Booger Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Hey, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it didn't help much. I sit at a pretty solid 8 fps in the pit during lessons. That's with everything pretty much set to low & my resolution dropped to where it's not even full screen.
Booger Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Yeah. Reading the topics in the A-10 side there are folks with beastly machines that have issues with roughly the same. I guess I lack the magic combo atm. Nonetheless, I'll kill the hijacking of the topic with a thank you & hope to see you in BS at least lol.

112th_Rossi Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 It would be cool if we had a DCS SU25T that could be run on the same server. The two would compliment each other nicely.
CDR Spectre Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 It would be cool if we had a DCS SU25T that could be run on the same server. The two would compliment each other nicely. Yes it would...Unfortunately the only way this is possible ATM is to use the A-10A and the Su-25T in FC2. Perhaps ED will make the upcoming compatibility patch work with FC2 as well. Doubt it, though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] It's not the fall that gets you. It's the Godawful sudden stop at the end.
112th_Rossi Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 This is still on I have four people interested, want to keep the numbers low so one more would be nice. More details posted up later in the day.
LostOblivion Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I'm happy to join as well, maybe as another instructor if we get many. Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW

112th_Rossi Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 It was fun! I hope to make this a regular thing so I am wondering if anyone would like to volunteer as instructors. If we had two or three instructors we could include more people.
LostOblivion Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I'll be an instructor. I'm poised at making it this sunday. :) Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW

WildBillKelsoe Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 hey ross. I'm itching for that session. If we are going to practice, how much aircrafts would be there? And are we going to fly on a combat mission? Stock missions or DL? please specify so I prep myself. Any ports to open on router? Going ugly server, how do I find it?
