Youtuber learning DCS : A-10C

I'm working through operating the aircraft and learning its systems. As I do that I create tutorial videos which reinforce the learning process and hopefully help others following the same process.

Startup:

Taxi and Takeoff:

Flight path navigation:

TACAN Approach:

ILS Approach:

GAU-8:

Hydra 70 rockets:

Litening TGP:

Mk 82 LDGP & AIR:

Target Designation Cue:

Laser Guided Bombs:

Hi supanova,

I have seen a few of your videos, very well laid out and structured, like proper training videos. Do you do this for a living IRL?

Anyway keep them coming, very good short to the point refresher vids. It's Hard to stay proficient in any DCS level aircraft when you have been away for a few months or so.

Unfortunately not.

I'm glad to hear you're finding them useful.

One of the best example videos for starting the HOG... WELL DONE, HIGH QUALITY, and not a lot of useless dead time or bouncing head movements you see in a lot of the training vid. Great explanation of what to do and a brief exp of what the switch or system does in the aircraft. Other NEW USER training videos would do well to follow this example.

Thanks for your kind comments. I really appreciate it.

I agree with the others, these videos look absolutely superb, very well done! :thumbup:

Yes another thumbs up from me. I spend a few weeks on the A-10C then drift over to another module and when I return it's all new again to me. (Brain like a sieve).

I've watched several tutorials to help me get back into it but this is a cut above the rest.

I really like the way they are done and not a second is wasted and every word is relevant. I hope you will eventually expand to include more.

There will definitely be more A10C tutorials. :)

I like the tutorials too :)

Great job Supanova. I hope you will continue doing this.

Very nice turtorial Supanova :thumbup: Very clear and precise and in a good pace that allows the viewer to follow each step. Oustanding job Sir.

Cheers

Hello supanova. Thank You for the superb professional videotutorials on A-10C, hope many more will follow in time. Extremely helpful when have been flying other aircraft for a while and then want to return to the Warthog. I am old and I forget a lot.. Equally perfect for first time learning.

I have your F-16 tutorials too and want to thank you for all the work. High standards all over :-)

Yep, very nice tutorials. Although there are so many tutorials on that basic stuff, like how to start up the A-10 or basic navigation, landing...

I would really like to see more of the advanced topics

I would really like to see more of the advanced topics

Advanced topics, like what for example?

Delivery Methods, operating in combined arms scenarios, an in depth cdu tutorial, some advanced things in the mission editor..

I know there are some (rare) videos already, but there are so many channels which offer DCS tutorials and all you can see there is "How do I start this thing up", "How do I takeoff" and "How do I land". Don't get me wrong, the videos here are very well done. But I really hope there will be some more in depth tutorials.

Delivery methods you can check 476th videos.

Operating in combined arms arms well, it's strictly multiplayer thing, but it sure makes things way interesting! I know, I've been on both sides :D

For the CDU you have some nice videos by Recon Stewart, if that is what you need.

Mission editor I'm no expert so I can't help you there.

And yes I know what you mean by startup take off and land videos. Spam-o-Matic out there :D

The thing is, that what you can do and learn in single player is just .. well .. this much and no more. And it feels stale.

Once you know all that "stuff" and then bring that, along with some tactics in to multiplayer environment, it is then when things become way more interesting and FUN.

OT: I feel like derailing thread, but at same time MasterZelgadis brought up a sweet topic! :D

The videos will cover more advanced subjects as I progress through the process of learning the A10C and its systems. The next videos will cover navigation and VFR and IFR approaches and landing.

Great videos, I know all this stuff already, but watched them just for fun.

If I could add a constructive criticism, maybe just a little bit more chat might be good. There are some quite long spaces where you say nothing.

But that's just me !

Added a video on Flight Plan Navigation:

Added a video on TACAN approach and landing:

..... some advanced things in the mission editor...

This is by far, the best tutorial on the mission editor that i've found:

Its actually more of a hands on course, i just put the first video on the playlist, and you get to build an advanced mission from scratch .. it may seem slow at the beginning, but trust me, realizing that a good mission requires planning its an essential step :)

Cheers

Added a video on TACAN approach and landing:

 

Thenks a lot for this video Series, I've just subscribed to your channel, since I havent yet learned the A-10C, but intend to do it sometime soon :)

May I suggest that you edit the first post to add the link to these new additions.

Best regards,

Thanks for the suggestion. Links added to the first post.

I enjoy the quality of the videos also. Very well done!

A subject I that I would love to see covered, and have not seen covered anywhere other than in the Maple Flag training campaigns, is system failures. Restarting an engine mid flight. Coping with failing hydraulics, such as how to lower your landing gear. How to land without hydraulics. Knowing what electric systems are tied to which engine so I know what systems I'll be missing when an engine goes out. Maybe cover the most basic warning lights in the cockpit and what to do when they light up.

I'm not ashamed to say I'd use this knowledge pretty often... AAA, SAMS and I are well acquainted :smilewink:.

I'm not sure when I might reach that point, but it sounds like a good idea for a future video, Raging. ;)
