Looks OK externally, aside from the 29 Sqn RAF markings and the Gazelle serial number, but the cockpit doesn't look as good - don't get me wrong, I couldn't do better, but it's not 'DCS'.
Will I buy it? We'll see when the price is announced!

Oh man...I think I'm gonna have to buy a new computer now because I must have that MiG, and my current box can't handle DCS.

It would go on sale the day after I empty my bank account. Only two long days until pay day

Getting stuck in now, playing the tutorials, trying (failing) to remember all the keypresses!
Going to be taking this in little steps I think, but it looks & flies great so far. Might be up for a little multiplayer once I get the hang of it. |

Ah, good. Seems we won't be seeing A-10 2 or BS 3 then.

Aww, let us know what it was - it may just help somebody else!

Hehe ok Was having trouble with Wingman commands in the Instant Action mission (the first one, Easy Georgia). I'm using easy comms as the bird is more than enough to handle at this stage, but whenever I hit LeftAlt/Num Plus I could talk to JTACs, but not my wingie. Turns out, even on easy comms that the UHF (wingman) radio is on LeftAlt/Num Minus Really really loving this so far. I've almost got that first mission nailed and am quite comfortable with most of the weapon systems (don't think I've used a cluster bomb outside training yet, or AIM9s tho), basic MFCD functions, simple nav & takeoff/landings. I can't start her up or shut her down properly yet though (need to print a checklist for those), and I need to learn how to use chaff & flares. Been thinking about A10 for quite a while but always expected it to be a bit too much, even for me. The SH series was really my first proper 'sims' for quite some years and the last flight games I played were maybe one or two on xbox360 and the rest on Sega Megadrives (MiG29 and F22 were my all time faves) back in the day! Surprised how quickly I've picked up the essentials; once you 'get' the HOTAS system it all falls into place Picked up DCS: World for the SU-27 Flanker in readiness for the coming patch too. This talk on the DCS forums of FC3 is rather appealing (even though the flight model is lower quality, more planes!), and I really hope the long awaited next DCS jet is a Fastjet, an F15 or something Last edited by 0rpheus; 05-08-12 at 04:44 AM. |

Thanks for sharing. You don't need AIM-9s if you have AGM-65s, as Arc proved with me once.

Yes it was, luckily it had been discussed and I'd agreed to be the guinea pig. Still, it was good shooting. Almost made up for all the times I've hit Arc whilst taxiing/take off/landing/flying/ejecting/dying. . .
