derek884 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hey, does anyone live in Texas? I have to take a simulator test for the A-10C for a pilot slot. I am currently in Austin. I am looking to hire someone to instruct me on how to fly it. If you are interested or know anyone who is, please PM me. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelation Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Sounds more like he wants to use A-10C as a flight sim to prepare for UPT. Are you in AFROTC? I went through ROTC at FSU and it was a great time. I recommend learning via FSX, until you graduate UPT you will not know the airframe you will be flying and that will be determined by your performance in UPT.

Tailgate Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah, and he'll find DCS severely limited for Nav training unless he gets deployed in the Caucasus. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimFreak Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Personal option - get few hours in DA20. Learn how to land it and talk on a radio. Without passing IFS, you can't progress to UPT. DCS will be a waste of time. FSX will be waste of time. No flight simulator will prepare you. Once you get to instrument stage, then you can farther enhance your knowledge. By than you'll have tools to do job much better than a commercial sim will provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek884 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I don't want to get specific, but it is for a guard unit. I will be flying the actual A-10C sim as part of my application to UPT. If I get selected, I will be flying that airframe. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I don't want to get specific, but it is for a guard unit. I will be flying the actual A-10C sim as part of my application to UPT. If I get selected, I will be flying that airframe. Thanks Did you ever get DCS working on your computer? The problem is, folks like me who play DCS for fun, we could teach you all about how the HOTAS works, how to employ weapons, how to type in custom flight plans into the CDU, how to hook your flight lead on the TAD, that kind of stuff. But, for example, my knowledge of emergency procedures, check lists, what hydraulic system controls what, even what gauge is what (oh sure, I can look at a gauge and tell you what it is- but for some of them, it takes a few seconds before I figure it out/remember)... it's significantly lacking. It's just not as necessary to know that stuff when your actual butt is not on the line. The fact of the matter is, you can scratch the surface of DCS A-10C and still be very effective. Like, 20% of the aircraft's functions are all you need to use 99% of the time. As we're flying this in our free time for fun, it's hard to justify learning the other 80% of the aircraft's systems that aren't as important. But you need to know that other 80% if you're a pilot. Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.
