Have you guys heard of this one yet?

Problem with sims like A-10 is unless you have a full mock up pit it is just too tedious trying to remember if you assigned Ctrl+Alt to this or was it Shift + Alt.......aww f**k it ill just get airborne and strafe my own airfield with the gatling.

Exactly, too hardcore for me. Flanker 2.0 was complicated but A-10 seems even more so. That's why I prefer WWII aircraft, no complicated weapon systems.

Interesting to think that someone who flys that sim in FULL real settings could actually jump inot a real A-10 and fly it?

Apart from Downloading way points into the nav comp (if they do that) before flights and actual pilot fitness do you think there would be any difference as far as input/controls go?

Dare i say that complex flight sims and how real they actually are helped one of the biggest terrorist attacks take shape and succeed

These Sims are getting so complex it amazes me

it didn't quite work that way, all those terrorists on the 911 flights were actually going through flight training at a major flight training organization in the US, they had to use MS flight sim to practice the awfull event they planned because it would have been perhaps a little obvious what they were up to trying to practice it in the actual simulators.......although it was blatantly dubious that they never showed interest in learning to land.

not so sure just anybody could climb into the A-10 and fly it just because of the sim either but I do agree with you the fidelity is amazing and there certainly would be some people capable of it.

I've been spending a lot of time in DCS:A-10C while waiting for CloD to finish baking. It doesn't have the excitement of a WWII dogfight, but still damn rewarding when you're learning your way around the cockpit.

Remember that feeling the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a stick-shift?

i fly DCS-A10C from the first Beta
and i can ensure you that is the most realistic simulator for the pc..
personally never had a problem with it to fly it or killing targets or use the various advanced systems that has..[Falcon fan for years]
i fly every day online and there are a very good community and very friendly for what you ask..
you should try this with the latest patch is excellent

[nynek]

small technical question...ANYBODY saw them landing...like...EVER ?

Could you please tell what kind of online missions it has? Are there only ground attack missions in coop style or both sides fly A10 against each other or A10 has Black Shark opposition or the whole Flaming Cliffs 2/DCS series is compatible online?

Are the missions similar to Il-2 dogfight or coop? Is there an online war similar ADW?

This is the only thing i didnt like about modern combat sims, the whold fire and forget though its very rewarding when getting a kill its gets boring very fast unlike actual dogfighting in a prop plane.

i tried flanker and eurofighter when it first came out...very long time that was but i find myself just looking around and doing flybys while in external mode rather than trying to master 100 of different keystrokes..lol

Oh sure i know that im just saying the Sim 'helped' them.. as for those MS sims its amazing how much detail are in them even down to radio channels and very precise navigation.

And as i said there are alot of other factors involved in just being able to jump into said AC and fly it but you get my drift and i dont hink there would be much difference in controls and instrument navagation, flying the bird due to its FM etc etc are a different story i know..
