A-10C Warthog II

@Cib I second the above upgrade. I upgraded earlier this year and it makes slewing so much smoother and more accurate. I’d say the only “downside” is the wait. It is/was about a 2 month wait from order to shipping. But might as well put in an order now to get the ball rolling. (Spoiler: It’s a PS4 controller stick! :shushing_face:)

I followed this video for installation.

Yup, worth every penny. I’d have to take a look, I might have the old sensor still around. Send you that to tide ye over.

So my workaround with modifier works. Next question can the modifier be a hotas button, I could loose the master mode button quite easily

Got the WH stick? Use the paddle switch as that’s not assigned for the A-10C’s.

Good idea but can I make it a modifier?

I believe so. I feel like I’ve used it before as a modifier with FC3 planes.

Should be able to, I believe that is what @WreckingCrew does!

That slew upgrade was worth its weight in gold IMO.

Certainly! I call it ‘Paddle Sw’.

I also save each and every profile. When I load them for whatever reason, if the assignment uses a modifier and it is not defined, then that line in the Controls will be red. Just open the Modifiers window and add it in.

Oh… My… God… . Where has this been since I bought my Warthog Throttle!!!

Any one having VIACOM PRO issues with the new A-10C?

I cant get a response from the airfield even though VIACOM PRO says everything was good. If i switch to another plane all is good.

Im starting to think the ARC-210 radio might have changed somethings under the hood.

This little thing has been bringing awesomeness to DCS for a while now. Love mine. It was an easy install too.

Does it feature a push button as well or do you lose that button when you mod it?

No it pushes just fine.

IIRC isn’t the new A-10 supposed to have a new radio or two, even if it’s not in the new location yet? I haven’t seen anything in updates from VAICOM for a while now- I’ve taken to switching it on and off any more

Yep at least one radio, the ARC-210 will be released at a later time.

I see some talk about issues on the dcs forums but no response from viacom.

I haven’t seen much from Hollywood in a while, it seems. I’ve started having issues with the AIRIO plugin as well, so I’ve turned that off, and haven’t been doing enough flying to bother with VAICOM in a while anyway.

I’m leaning towards turning it off myself. I like it but when it becomes a PITA it ain’t worth it.

Yeah I’ve been having issues in general with VAICOM in all aircraft since the A-10 upgrade. Unfortunate. Keeping it off until it’s resolved.

Just had a couple of hours with the 282 rockets. What a blast. I feel invincible in the Hog. They are a great weapon and good standoff from Sheikas and small arms. Really digging the update.
