Looking for someone to play DCS A-10c With

[Markk]

Hey Guys i'm Mark,

 

I'm looking for someone to play DCS A-10 With, I've only just got it today so i'm looking for someone of a similar level or someone willing to take me under their wing so to say. I've been watching alot of video's and tutorials so I know how to do some procedures already but only very basic. I'm 16, English and I want to join the RAF when i'm Older.

 

Feel free to add me on Steam my name is MarkDayZ, I also have a TS/Mumble/Skype so we are able to chat vocally.

 

Thanks for reading,

Great choice for a career Mark.

 

I spent 14 years in the RAF from 85 until 99, loved every minute of it. If I were your age, I would do it all again.

That's great, really makes me want to push and work hard towards this goal of mine, Thank you for the encouragement!

 

Just wondering but did you continue your career in aviation after your time in the RAF was over? Whatever the outcome what did you go on to do after you had left the RAF?

 

Thanks,

I believe we can still play multiplayer together but we will just have to communicate a different way!

 

I have sent you a PM which contains my skype Username, please feel free to add it

You really should convert it to the DCS version. Its free and will allow you keep the Steam version but give you all the compatiblity of DCS World and all its modules. Once you do that anyone that has any DCS Madule can play online with you.

I had the oportunity and was offered jobs in civvy aviation, my trade was Propulsion (aircraft engines) but I went down another route and ended up testing engines for road vehicles on test beds which I still do, and worked in F1 for a while (hard work and long hours).

 

Looking back on it all I wish I had took the aviation route when I left but hey, hindsight and all that.

 

If you have goals and work to acheive them you will go far in the RAF. Its a good life, and nothing comes close to it in "civvy street"

 

I haven't lost the aircraft bug totally though, I have a little microlight I fly for fun......and of course DCS A-10!!!! :joystick:

I second just installing from the DCS website, DCS world and the modules. If you have track Ir I can give you my profile for that. Also, I use saitek x52 pro and have a functional profile for that too if you need.

 

I'm not an expert but I've just been practicing and going through Dragon's training for Jtac. I have steam but I don't have the game on there I got it from DCS.

 

I too wanted to be a airforce pilot when I was graduating highschool but they said I was too tall and my vision was not 20/20. After I got a job offer for a development job here, I've just been using this sim to fulfill that :)

[CDR Spectre]

Doesn't really matter where you bought it. All you would need to do is download DCS World and the A-10C module from the DCS website and use the key from Steam to activate the module. I know several people that have done it this way and haven't heard of issues. I know Steam versions of games don't always play nicely with retail versions but this isn't one of them. Doesn't matter for voice comms either as that is independent of whatever game you're running.

To tall lolthat reminds me of the one liner in "W were soldiers" To tall Sir you call we haul.

How are you finding the X52pro, i have finally got my head round programing took me a while tried every available profile none of which really worked properly unsure as to why, so made my own from scratch and now i have full fuctionality.

Using just about every function through the X52pro, i am surprised no one has done a tutorial on how to program it as it really is childs play.

[jay43]

Cheers for the PM Mark i'll get on that just got a result today though got the whole A10c flight manual printed up in colour for 0.04p per sheet all 671 pages due to a miss understanding between the manager and his young assistant lol.

Yeah i could have worked on the A-10 systems though. I find the X-52 Pro to be a great stick. Only part that sucks is setting it up everytime I want to play..plugging in all the cables, yeah I can be lazy.

 

What I did was download a modded profile off of JackBauer. I cleared all the controls in the sim options menu. Loaded the lua and then exited the game and placed the .pro file inside the Saitek controller folder. So I load the profiler and click my profile and when I launch the game it works fine.

 

I didn't have time to program my own. You should download World and the module and we could probably run through a Jtac training mission. Although, I have a crappy headset I could use that. There are plenty of missions you can download and use in this sim so as long as you are game to learn, you should get the hang of it pretty soon.

I would like to try your Trackir profile if you wouldn't mind sending it.

 

I've been trying different profiles and haven't been able to find the excact one I like as yet.

Squadron

 

Try this squadron to see if they are taking new pilots.

Here you go I have attached it. Oh and that squadron? I think they are for Falcon BMS not A10C. I didn't see anything about the A10 on there.

Makes a world of difference doesn't it? That is the reason I had this game for a year and never played it until now. That profile I attached is from Fish, he has many of them and plenty good Youtube videos around.

 

Now if I could just get better at Mk82's and CBU/GBU's I always miss :/

For the Mk82, study this: 476th vFG, 76th vFS "Battle Book". It isn't exactly easy, but it is the way it's done and it helped me a lot!

There is nothing that beats the satisfaction of an unguided delivery done right.

 

Back on topic: Mark, I'd fly with you as well, but like people said before, get DCS World and the A-10C module first. Your serial number from the Steam version will also work with this and you can have everything installed at the same time without conflicts.

 

Shoot me a PM for mission planning :smilewink:

[Mt5_Roie]

Yeah go ahead and download the DCS components. Send me a PM as well when you get it all set up and we can mess around in there.

Here you go I have attached it. QUOTE]

 

Thanks mate.....I'll give it a go.

 

I would be up for a flight with you guy's sometime as well.

 

I've only been on line a couple of times so still in the learning curve. I've just got a headset and got that set up yesterday with Teamspeak, although not used it in earnest yet. Tried to get on the 74th's PUMA last night but they were having a Sqn members only night. May look at joining them sometime in the future...if they would have me!!!, but meanwhile I'm building up my hours in the seat.

 

Just got two 8" Lilliput screens today to fit to the TM Cougars so will probably get that set up over the comming weekend sometime, then it's game on!!!

I wonder if I can use my crappy headset, non usb just the analog mic and audio in plugs lol. Doesn't have a mute button though. I haven't used teamspeak either. I mostly can fly on weekends due to work but I'm going to check out the Hoggit site too.

[Markk]

Thanks for all the reply's and advice, I have PM'd everyone who requested it and hopefully we can get up and flying soon :)
