DCS A-10C QUESTIONS

Recommended Posts

As much as I wish I was, I am not a real pilot. I hope to be someday if I can ever afford it. In fact other than some stick time in a few small aircraft, I havent received any formal aviation training. Most of my experience is in simulators and several instructional books.

Hello all,

Searched for word 'key' in this thread and couldn't find what i am looking for.

 

Does Warthog have full key commands available for cockpit functions, to support those who make external hardware controls/switches? i.e. Gear Up and Gear Down, as opposed to a single Gear key command 'g' that Blackshark has

 

Would be nice to use toggle switches on panels instead of a push button. Flaming cliffs2 is better than Blackshark in this respect.

 

cheers

using the gear scenario, i dont want a toggle switch mapped to 'G' twice, i,e, in each direction.

 

on the toggle switch i want UP to be 'gear up', DOWN to be 'gear down'...as per FC2.

 

but the original reason for posting was, many of the weapons switches in BS and FC2 have a single key associated to them only, meaning if the switches are out of sync at the start of the mission for any reason, they will be out of sync for rest of flight.

 

i know that makes for lots of key combinations (of which there are already many). but they dont have to be mapped by default when the game ships...people can choose to map them if/when they need them.

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

I hope there will be switch to metric system. I am used to know how far is 10 km and how far is 50 km. :]

Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D

I have some problems with TrackIR not detected in DCS A-10C Beta. Any chanse of creating a "Beta" problem thread?

 

And betther, any idea why TrackIR 5 wont work? I updated game profiles on TrackIR and DCS a_10 is in the list. I tried copying the TrackIR.lua files from blackshark but that did not help either.

Run the 32-bit (x86) version. Naturalpoint has not yet provided drivers for the 64-bit version.

Does the beta have support for Freetrack? If not, it will be hell for me. Another quickie: Are tutorial missions available for the entire aircraft in the beta?

 

There is no native support for Freetrack. Training missions are included, however they are still being completed.

It will work fine in a 64bit OS, it won't however work with a 64bit game (the 64 bit version of DCS:A10C for example) as natual point are yet to produce 64 bit drivers. It'll work just fine in the 32 bit version of A-10C though so don't panic.

I'm unfortunately not able to pre-purchase the software just yet. Can somebody confirm the following; TACAN range is a four-digit number (fourth digit being 10th of a mile) in the sim.

 

From screenshots I've seen so far it appears that range is depicted as a 3 digit number which, according to the A-10A (TO1A-10A manual), is not correct. It's as if the artist has forgotten to include the 1st digit drum. The TACAN range window (in-sim) does actually allow the 1st digit to be displayed but is currently a "black hole"...

"It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage..."
