Gomez Adams Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I just installed the game and bought the A10 two days ago. What I wanted to do was learn to fly the game in the A10, but I didn't realize there is no such thing as a "free flight" or anything of that nature in this game. So I downloaded the training missions pack found here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3127710/ Now I put that file in the missions folder and it does appear, but when I select it and start it, it says that the A10 must be installed. It continues to run anyway, but as a movie. I can't interact with it in any way. Is that file no longer viable or am I missing something? I was sort of expecting it to act like the learning mission in the SU - where you start in the cockpit and it sort of walks you through things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BuzzU Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Did you install the A-10C? It doesn't do it automatically. Don't be confused when you see the A-10A. Two different planes. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomez Adams Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Oh hell. That's it. I didn't realize there were two different ones. Forgive an idiot. I'll try to find another training mission for the A model. Edit to add: Well, now I see why it was only 15 dollars - nothing exist for it. No training missions, nothing. That's why everything is made for the C model - it's 60 bucks. Now I see how this game works. Typical.

BuzzU Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yes, the A10A is part of the FC3 package. It's from the Lock On game. It doesn't have the advancements the A-10C has. The A-10C is well worth the price if you want a study sim. It takes a long time to learn but it's very rewarding. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomez Adams Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Wish I had known that from the outset. Last thing I need is another money pit. Thanks for the help, but I'll just take it as a 15 dollar lesson and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzU Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 It's only a money pit if you let it. You could get one plane and stay with it forever. You got the terrain for free. Buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelation Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Edit to add: Well, now I see why it was only 15 dollars - nothing exist for it. No training missions, nothing. That's why everything is made for the C model - it's 60 bucks. Now I see how this game works. Typical. Each module is sold separately. As another poster posted you are not required to buy modules, you can buy one and be happy forever. It's a far cry from how many other Devs do DLC. Wish I had known that from the outset. Last thing I need is another money pit. Nothing is hidden about how ED operates. Thanks for the help, but I'll just take it as a 15 dollar lesson and move on. You can always create your own missions with the Mission Editor or you can use the Mission Generator. I highly encourage you to pick up the A-10C when you see it on sale again, it is well worth the $60 price tag and it will give you years of a joyful flying experience. Check out the many A-10C videos on youtube to get an idea of what you are missing.
