Main Differences between the A10-A and the A10-C?

Since the A10-C is a seperate module I just wanted to ask what the main differences between the two models are. I've seen that the C has two monitors, the A only has one, I think that means that the A is a simplified version that does not have as many functions as the C Version?

Yes the C is much more advanced with full clickable cockpit and system very accurately modelled. The A version does have a good flight model but everything else is very simplified and the cockpit isn't clickable. There is a huge difference between the "Flaming Cliffs 3 level" planes and the "DCS level" ones.

I should get the C then definately, but nevertheless I will definately have a lot of fun going for the bombing runs with the A version for now will I? ^_^

Should be a good training for the main modules I guess. For a newcomer like me the A version is a lot easier, was watching a C version startup video, whew, glad I only have to start my two engines and the cockpit lighting, but I am looking forward to getting onto the real beast.

I need to collect some money to get a new rig, a second screen and a flight gear. DCS started out as an experiment for me but since I familiarized myself with the SU25-T completely I can't get enough and both the F15-C and the A10-A are just awesome as they are :)

Thanks for the info! the C version is now on my wishlist (well, behind the FC3 pack and the BlackShark, but it's on there ^.^)

there is not a huge difference between FC3 and DCS planes unless your talking about the MiG-29A/S/G, Su-27 or Su-33 (because these either lack AFM or 6DOF pits)

the difference is a clickable cockpit... thats it.

The A-10C is much harder to learn with all its advanced avionics though for some that may sound awesome and for others its a turn off.
