DCS:A10C - Quick Tutorial on Air-To-Air Refueling:

ironkross · 04-12-13, 08:38 AM

I bought this on Steam, sticking to the tutorials for now and trying to read thru this thread for tips. Has anyone here used this controller for the game?

I wondered if it was worth the expense.

Frankly, you won't find a better setup for A-10C. Or for anything else. In my opinion it's the best flight setup in existence.

ironkross · 04-12-13, 09:35 AM

Thanks. I think eventually I'll have my hands on one, but not right now. It's priced out of my range. It looks awesome though.
[edit] In the meantime, my T1600 Thrustmaster is not coping with this game well. How can you map keys/buttons in the game?

For this that haven't heard yet - the Huey is out (and Patch 1.2.4).

That looks awesome. I wonder if the Air Cav variant comes with a psywar op?

I've just talked to a former German real life UH1-D pilot and he was extremely disappointed by it. He said the flight model is nowhere near the real thing....

Nate--IRL-- · 05-04-13, 08:59 AM

Interesting, but they do have 2 current Huey pilots on the test team, and the Belsimtek project manager managed to fly a real one almost perfectly on the first try

Newer FM has been released a week ago. Maybe he should recheck it....

I heard that they've been working on the FW-190 Dora as playable plane.

Looks like I'm about to order a copy of the 'Hog. Are there any benefits to buying a hard, boxed copy, or am I better going the d/l route? I'm guessing that buying the boxed version will almost certainly mean that it will need patching/updating anyway. Any thoughts?

D/l route, a disc wouldn't be up to date, and the patches are worth using. It's big, I'd recommend using the torrent over the direct files.

5 July 2013 - DCS News Update

Work on testing and debugging of DCS ver. 1.2.5 continues. Depending on how debugging goes, we hope to release 1.2.3 sometime in July 2013.

Our efforts to update some of the older models continues. Given the number of units in DCS, and that there are many legacy models (some dating all the way back to the original Lock On), this is a long and ongoing process. One new model that we have heard many of you asking about is the Su-33. I've attached some very early work-in-progress renders of the new Su-33 model. We have no release ETA for this yet.

Matt

Other model can be updated on 1.2.5 (new Tu-22M3)

Other model on develop (MQ-8 Reaper)

Hello folks,

Wow, what a big thread.

Sorry - this whole thing wasn't supposed to be public yet. A single misclick on my part set in motion a chain of events of such epic proportions, who could have ever guessed. And well, here we are.

I've been posting on a Russian forum a bunch last night since that's where the leak came out. Figured I owe it to you guys to actually post everything in English.

Here's what I talked about in Russian yesterday:

1. There’s a new project in development between RRG Studios (my company) and Eagle Dynamics.
2. We’re making a new WWII flight sim.
3. The general approach in the new sim is the same as in DCS: P-51.
4. Cockpit workload, cabin systems, levers-buttons-gears, reliance on actual historical manuals, and the flight model, will be the same as in DCS: P-51.
5. Modeling of various secondary internal systems, such as modeling the pressure inside each bend in the hydraulics, will be somewhat simplified.
6. The landscape in the new project will be based on EDGE.
7. The theater, planeset, screenshots, videos, etc – will come in due time.

And here's some new information:

1. Myself and a bunch of ED guys are flying in nice tight formation to the Flying Legends airshow tomorrow. We’ll go TSA on the vintage warbirds there. There’ll be lots of videos and photos.
2. The official project announcement, alongside screenshots, videos, schedules, and the most detailed feature description you’ve ever seen on any flight sim ever, will come no earlier and no later than September 1st, 2013. The date is very important for the project. We cannot miss it. Be there.

Other than that, I won’t be revealing any more details until Sept 1st.

I'll hang around here for a few more hours, and then I'm off to Flying Legends until Tuesday.

12 July 2013 - DCS News Update

This past week we have primarily been debugging DCS ver. 1.2.5. Progress is being made and it is still our hope to have it released before the end of this month. This is quite a large update, so naturally it is taking longer to debug than the earlier, smaller updates.

Other parts of our team are working on new elements for Combined Arms. Two of many new features includes a radar display for radar-guided air defense systems and more realistic fire control systems for armored units. I've attached an early work in progress image of the new radar display.

To better support new title like UH-1H and the upcoming Mi-8MTv2 helicopters, we are also developing the means for infantry to load and unload from them. We believe this will add a whole new level of game play for those modules.

Our effect artists are busy improving many effects for both their visual appeal and performance. As mentioned last week, one example are new wing tip vortices. As more are completed, I will be sure to post them in future updates.

Yesterday, Steam started their Summer Sale that includes both A-10C and Black Shark:
