DCS Frustrations


Bones

Recommended Posts

So we actually got some members online for some DCS this weekend and I think I can speak for everyone when I say that it was less then spectacular. Not that the sim is bad but I just got the feeling that you guys were getting a little frustrated as to how complex DCS:A-10C is compared to what you guys are used to flying (Falcon).

I know firsthand how overwhelming it is when first starting out with DCS but I can also tell you that if you spend the time going through the tutorials it will make a world of difference and you won't feel so "overwhelmed". This is a not a sim where you can expect to just hop in and start racking up the kills. Time must be spent "learning" the aircraft and the systems.

With that said I have found a great article over at SIMHQ discussing the trials of "green" A-10 pilots. You are not alone! At the beginning, everyone feels/felt like a lump of crap flubbering their way around the A-10 cockpit! !grin

Please give the ARTICLE a read and I really hope you guys stick it out and continue to learn to fly and fight in DCS:A-10C, it is a great sim but what you put into it is going to be what you get out of it. As always I am available if you have any questions, I am still learning myself so I may/may not have the answers but I will do my best to find them.

Thanks for the link Bones. I was feeling the frustration the other day when I was running the single player Hideout mission for the first time. I thought I'd use it as a training mission and work my way through it and see how far I'd get. The idea being to run this mission multiple times until I completed it. That way I'd know the lay of the land, radio freq's, even the airfield layout. Basically I could concentrate on learning to fight the A10. When I got to the target I started to realise that I didn't know enough by a long shot, and it was all very overwhelming and deadly lol. And a bit depressing. So, now I'm back to the tutorials, making notes, etc. practicing so I don't blow my tires on landing :D Also I've found a guy on Youtube who's got some great tutorials vids uploaded. I gotta learn to walk before the sprinting comes up :D

haha! I know right, it's kicking my ass but I will pwn this thing if it kills me! The Scenery is like nothing I've scene before and it's sucked me in! I will master this as I master my life...I will



FYI LockOn: Flaming Cliffs 2 looks just as good. Same graphics engine. Plus you can fly F-15s, Mig-29s, and Su-27s!!! !good Hint Hint!
