Any chance you could throw together a howto for this? Especially if you're able to integrate it to Proton and Steamplay?

Well perhaps I was just getting lucky... Now that I'm home and have a keyboard/mouse hooked up I'm getting: Which at a glance seems same as Black Shark... and not useful to me. Damn it. I might try it with the laptop unplugged and whatnot, see if it's related to something silly like hardware. Or if it was just two lucky moments. :-(

I just mean I haven't hit the check box to specifically choose one. Re: DCS World Hm... No, I have "Digital Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog" in my library which is what I'm using. The store page doesn't seem to exist or something... Uh-oh... I'll try DCS World maybe this weekend. tintifaxl: From what I've seen of the other Steam Play supported games, the joystick will map right through. I am pretty sure that won't be a problem. Send me an HTC Vive and I'll let you know how it works. :-) _e10: It has been like 4 years since I saw A10 running on anything. I think my laptop is faster than what I previously ran it on... I would get 20 fps because my CPU couldn't keep up on prior machine... I can't say there was a noticeable frame rate problem on my laptop for the few minutes I ran it (can't do much without a numpad though) Edit: DCS Black-Shark doesn't work. Bummer. Can get to the menu, but Options presents some LUA errors, and the game crashes right when I'd expect rendering to kick in.

Steam recently released their Proton tool, which is a much-tweaked WINE implementation... It's integrated to Steam pretty tightly. Right out the gate I was able to play, on Debian Buster, Doom 3, Dead Space, and a handful of other games that I haven't seen since I left Windows. DCS:A10 didn't work though... initially.... I just launched it however... and... I'm on my laptop so I don't have a num-pad or mouse... and I had it set to minimum settings... but instant action puts me in the air and I can fly and click (on what I can see). I maxed out the settings just for kicks, went full screen... and it kept working. I don't remember any of the controls but was able to do brrtt brrrtt and switch my view: This is amazing. This was the game I missed the most... I built a head tracking setup from a coat hanger and some LEDs and have a pile of joysticks just for DCS: A-10. I'm terrible at it... but I sure do miss it. My specs: - I have an NVidia chipset Dell laptop, running Debian Buster / Testing with XFCE as my DE. - I am subscribed to the Steam Beta. - Under Steam Play in the Steam Settings, I have "Enable Steam Play for all titles" enabled. - I am not using any specific compatibility tool. - My options (because I'm on an Optimus compatible laptop) for launching it are simply: "primusrun %command%" - I launched steam from the command line, but did not use primusrun to do so. Can't wait to get home and try it on my actual PC with my dedicated hardware. Sharing in case this is useful for someone else! I'll have to try DCS: World and DCS: Black Shark as well.

I am installing DCS World from Steam right now... I already own A10C on Steam. I'm hoping everything else gets put there as well! Steam does allow you to activate products you own via CD Key... not suer what the developer has to do to support this though.

FreeTrack and keyboard look? Is there a way to use both the keyboard and the freetrack interface? I use FreeTrack for X, Y rather than Yaw and Roll... Unfortunately, my keyboard view inputs are disabled when I use FreeTrack. Whydat?

Signed up just to give a thumbs up here... Looking forward to the Steam updates. I had no problem applying the updates from the site, but my 2 brothers aren't so savvy. When I initially bought DCS on Steam, I was disappointed at the lack of servers. Turns out... it's just that the old version is being distributed through Steam. After the update, the Steam community doesn't work, the status that I'm in game doesn't work... Love Steam, love DCS.
