CptTangerine Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I have recently tried to come back to the A10C. My favourite mission has always been Smerch Hunt. The last time I played this mission I was using TrackIR but I'm not playing in VR. I'm finding it very hard to get the CDU programmed while the coordinates are being read out and would really appreciate the addition of a "Say again" option in the radio to allow the last transmission to be repeated. It would definitely lower the levels of profanity within my house.

Emmy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Pad of paper and a pen to write stuff down? I never leave base without both in the A-10C...

GTFreeFlyer Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Pad of paper and a pen to write stuff down? I never leave base without both in the A-10C... Same here. Jot in down on paper and then work the CDU later. Alternative which works for me: If I’m expecting coordinates to be given to me, I already have a new waypoint created and named something like “JTAC” or “Target” and I leave the CDU page up. I have all my letter and number keys on the keyboard bound to the CDU, so I can just punch stuff in really quick rather than clicking each in the virtual cockpit with a mouse.

Just go to the controls menu for the A-10C and search in the CDU drop-down. There’s a bind for CDU A button, B button, C button, etc. My DCS Missions: Band of Buds series | The End of the T-55 Era | Normandy PvP | Host of the Formation Flight Challenge server Supercarrier Reference Kneeboards IRL: Private Pilot, UAS Test Pilot, Aircraft Designer, and... eh hem...

I usually set a few extra waypoints on the way to the objective. I use TGT1, TGT2, TGT3, etc... Then as I get coordinates I punch them straight in. You can even go back afterwards and change the name of you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I also have my keyboard mapped to the CDU, but I still write stuff down.

WildBillKelsoe Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 try this AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziptie Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 [/b][/u] Versy interesting ! Could you please give me a hint how to do it ? Maybe a link. Set CAPSLOCK as a modifier in the controls binding area. Then setup the keybinds for the CDU to match all letters (with use of CAPSLOCK) and then I personally setup the UFC scratch pad to be bound to the numberpad. Make typing in coordinates, and adding names to waypoints a breeze. Can do it very quickly. Have the Hornet setup the same way (for numbers on the UFC).

Ziptie Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Do you have to hold the Capslock down when doing this or does it act as a toggle (on/off)? Should act as a toggle. I actually remapped it to a switch on my TMWH for further seamless integration. Should have included that in my original message. Apologies.

Biga42 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 In my X56 I use the mode switch as a modifier, so when I need to write down in CDU, I change mode to M2 and start to push the keys in the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk000tch Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 All great suggestions but as a pilot it is not unusual at all to say “jrac/tower/2, hawg1, repeat last” How hard could it be? I use the keyboard/numpad thing as well but in be if you fingers are off sometimes it’s a very rushed re-entry before it fades, or missed just a dude who probably doesn't know what he's talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
