tyrspawn Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Hi guys, I bought DCS a-10 when it originally came out but didn't play it much, mainly due to all the technical bugs and what not. Over time they got fixed, but then I had an issue where I could put deadzones in my controls or my game would CTD when i tried to save the controls. Well i'm back. Because I recently got trackir for BMS (it was pretty much impossible to play without it), and after starting to read Warthog by William Strongwood, my interest in the hog has peaked again. Looking to get back in. I have a few questions: 1. Can anyone help me with some suggestions for setting up my logitech extreme 3d pro? I only want to map essential controls. I remember seeing a thread when DCS first came out with a profile, but it was pretty crappy. 2. Is the JTAC still broken in multiplayer? 3. Are the trees still messed up? 4. What's the status on the patch?

What's the status on the patch? 1. See the HOTAS section of the manual, they are the essential controls to be mapped to your stick. How you map them is down to personal preference. 2. No. 3. What do you mean by messed up? 4. Plenty of threads on the subject.

If i remember correctly the shadows were messed up by this latest patch.

Mustang Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 In 1.1.0.8 the tree shadows were mapped incorrectly on slopes causing them to project skywards, consequently in 1.1.0.9 they were removed. But, if you check the latest 1.1.1.0 changelog http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80458 • Added tree shadows. you'll be happy to know they'll be back and working as intended :)
tyrspawn Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 cool thanks for the info so you guys are sure the JTAC works? I thought it didn't work in multiplayer or something? I don't remember where I heard that.
kylania Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I think it's that it works either just for the host or just for the first pilot to contact it? My group has taken to using player AFACs when we need some guidance.

Kaiza Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 In previous patches it didnt work for clients and it would only work if the group ID was 01. For the most part it works well in multiplayer in the current patch, although in a mission I flew the other night the JTAC got a little muddled.

EtherealN Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 One thing to remember with JTAC (and Tanker, for that matter) is that it's AI will only have one player "active" at a time. This unfortunately means that a player that is careless about his comms with either can "block" the asset for other players. However, as long as procedure is followed it should work. This issue is caused by some fundamental stuff "under the hood" and isn't very easy to fix, if I have understood it right.
