markwilliam Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Hey guys! I see the A-10 is on sale for $5.99. But it also says A-10 DCS Flaming Cliffs. Does this mean that I need Flaming Cliffs to be installed to use it or does it mean that it's the Flaming Cliffs version of the A-10? If it works with me having only the P-51 then I get it. Hope so!!! Good price and I like the DCS A-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishbreath Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It's the A-10A modeled to the same level as the Su-25T, not the A-10C with a detailed avionics model.

ENO Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 You can grab the new A-10A without FC... If you had FC I believe you can just download the A-10A and upgrade the existing one to the new version basically... If you don't have FC, it's 6 bucks and you can run it on DCSW.

cichlidfan Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 A-10A and A-10C are two different aircraft. On Steam, there is no Flaming Cliffs, two of the FC aircraft are currently available as individual purchase. The only thing you need for them to work is DCS World.

ENO Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Okay- When I bought it on steam there were two different licenses... one with FC3 (mentioned by the license) and one separate DCSW DLC if I remember correctly. Thought FC3 included the original A-10, not the improved one, so I thought it needed to be downloaded separately. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret.

No, as the FC level ACFT are updated to individual models my understanding is those updates will be included in FC3 as well. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 back to topic: the A-10A is the same, single buy or FC3. it was updated some time ago, and ED descided, that the FC3 owners would not need to buy it and pay again for an aircraft that they might have payed 4 times already (LOMAC, FC1, FC2, FC3). so whoever ownes FC3 will not have to buy SU-25 & A-10A module. as a side note: if you have FC3 installed, the buy buttons for those two are not visual for good reason ;-) regards, RR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "There's nothing to be gained by second guessing yourself.

markwilliam Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well...I purchased the A-10 and it is different. Maybe not different but the old one that does not have a lot of the newer features that the updated one has. The weapons system is very different because the cockpit is lacking in the whole panel for target tracking. I looked at both training videos (FC3 and the regular A-10) and the cockpits are different. Not completely different, just weapons system differences. Also.....this A-10 for $5.99 won't function properly in the custom mission mode. It has no Air to Air capabilities, nor does it have any Air to ground Missiles. It only lets you use the cannon in the custom missions. It could possibly be a bug but I loaded it twice to make sure and it won't arm with any missiles in custom missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iberian Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) The standalone A-10A is the exact same aircraft as the A-10A that comes with Flaming Cliffs 3 (FC3). The only difference is the standalone comes by itself, no need for FC3. And if you buy FC3 you get the A-10A, plus F-15C, Su-27, Su-33, MiG-29A,, MiG-29G, MiG-29S, and Su-25. Do not confuse with the A-10C, which is a standalone mod that brings the more realistic PC simulation of that aircraft.

If it's "nothing" then you probably won't be able to assign any weapons to it other than guns. What happens if you select "CAS" or "Ground Attack"? You should have a whole slew of weapons to choose from, including air-to-air AIM-9's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
