Teach a n00b to fish?

[Doughboy]

Hi,

 

I've been into "sims" ever since Jane's ATF. I put some time into Falcon 4.0 AF and I'm new to the DCS A-10C world. I've ran through all the tutorials and have checked out some ho-to videos on youtube. I'm getting the hang of the game but I know I'm using this platform at about 20%. I was wanting to see if there are some folks on here that would not mind taking some time to teach a n00b how to become a killer through the multiplayer.

 

I'm not sure what all I need to DL in order to play with you guys but I'm DLing DCS World and when that is done I'll plug in the A-10C module for it. If you are intrested in helping me out let me know if there is anything else I need to get spun up and what voice comm program I need to get!! Thanks for your help!

 

Here are some A-10 related pics I took at Bagram AB

i'm sure there will be plenty of people willing to help, maybe look into joining a v-squadron or just jump into a server. if you know the basics of start up etc then getting into other things aint so hard. love the 30mm salute!

I can ramp start and employ all the weapons using the tactics taught in the Training missions. I'll look into the Squadrons and stuff. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey cookie. Welcome to the C version simulator, 95% authentic. There are a number of virtual squadrons available @ the squadron directory, and of all, there are currently 2 hardcore, ruthless vSqn.s; the Flying Tygers HQ'd @ UK, and the 476th HQ'd @ USA. Since you've mentioned you're somewhat prepped well into throwing shit, I'd recommend Tygers, or get in line for 476th (a year at least of wait). Most squadrons voice server is Teamspeak, although TARS (tactical aviation radio system) is occasionally used, each squadron has their required modules/software to be in comms.

 

I've been part of Mercs vSqn. and currently play 1.1.1.1 (standalone). Just waiting for world to stabilize, but multiplayer is far more exciting than singleplayer. There are workshops held from time to time without obligation to join specific Vsqn's, just to give experience to those needed but can't get time to dedicate due to RL issues, so always check Community News for the latest. There are couple RL crew chiefs here, Paulrkii is one to mention, should you need to bond with RL Hog Lads..

 

Once again, welcome to the mean machine called Hog simulator, enjoy your stay and once again, GET SOME!!!

Wild Bll- Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into the resources that you listed. I did jump in the 76th server this evening and got some academic' from those guys (Falcon). Just like I believed I know about 10% of the capabilities of the a/c and systems. I have teamspeak so I got that taken care of now! I'll look into joining a vSqd at some point I imagine.

 

Harz-Glad you enjoyed them and thank you.

Holly molly, this guy know how to get some attention ^^. Welcome to DCS, you have some amazing pictures, all my respect... :thumbup:

The virtual squadron is for sure the best solution!

Welcome Dude just remember as well as MP with a vSQN you still have to do some study to get the best out of the Hog.
