So. I feel like I need to get back to basics and go back to where it all began for me and DCS: The A-10C. Well, technically it would have been the A-10A or the Ka-50 but I am going gloss over all of that. Who cares about the details, right?
Plus, this gives me an reason to try out both the old and new A-10C and maybe even start with the A-10A? I don’t know. I may not go that far back.
EDIT: I am also going to do the Full VR Monty with this. That’s a joke on the Full Monty movie but that may not be funny to anyone else. So instead, I will pivot to it being a reference to Smurfs Monty the Vulture… because why not.
@Fridge: Thanks for the initial move. GOTHQ is a great concept
@Victork2: Obivous starting point for me is Chuck’s Guide and the DCS Manual (that alone will keep me busy the whole month). I can also recommend Ralfidude’s Youtube channel and his short series on the Tankkiller Module.
I won’t partake in this one as I am still current on the A-10C at least weapons wise, although I may refresh on tanking and using the CDU.
The SADL datalink also is most fun in MP where one player can send out targets to others as if he were like the AI JTAC.
As for night flying, I encourage you all to play around with the technique I describe in the post I’ll link below. It’s a bit obscure and tactically doesn’t make much sense when there are better weapons and methods - but it will get you familiar with some of the extra features of the A-10C that makes the DCS detail level shine.
I was thinking to do something straightforward like the vulture on the nose.
Or I can make two? @Fridge 's Vulture and your Pumbaa and the names on the tail rudders?
I somehow believed it was sort of a dud, wasn’t sure many liked it-
Such is the life of the artist, full of uncertainty!
But boy I’m glad to read that!
As I’m flying without a HOTAS, I’ll be working with the A model. Which honestly if they’d update it a bit would be an outstanding model for Cold War era scenarios.
