wtf

[srutherford1172]

the instruction in this game is so incredibly bad that this game is very difficult to pick up the basics on. I am not already a pilot and wish that I didnt waste money on this

[CaptainJae2]

yea.. its not for the casual flight sim fan. You can adjust the settings to be easier.

I think the OP means that the instructions given are sometimes difficult to follow. It seems you have to do everything he says, obviously, however sometimes he tells you to do things that you haven't covered and then the next instruction will fail to load.

I am going to land this thing successfully even if it kills me!!!

So it looks like you did not bother to read ANYTHING ahout this sim before you bought it, this is not a easy to learn arcade shooter experience, this is a flight sim that was made primarily for the very niche flight sim fanbase, taken from that perspective, this sim is probabloy the best on the market but if you go into it thinking it is going to be like War thunder, well, sorry but that was your fault to begin with.

I encourage you to try to learn it, it is actually a very fun, engaging and challenging simulation that won't hold your hand and forces you to actually use your brain unlike many other titles out there.

Read the instruction manual besides taking the tutorials. The instruction manual pretty much covers and clears up things the tutorial doesn't explain well. The instruction manual helped me a lot. Also take notes of the steps during the tutorial. You may have to play the tutorial several times and look at "quick notes" you made to fully enjoy the campaign.

If you are like me you just might spend most of your time in the tutorials on things you do not understand, that is part of the fun. I am alright with this. I can play the campaign game with the help of my "quick notes" that I have written out.

No, I don't think this game is too pick up and play friendly. If you have a demanding job or are going to school, loaded with homework, it is a pain in the a$s to try and learn this. But, I still think it is a pretty great game, and I have some memorable moments.

Oh, you can also pause the tutorial by hitting the pause button on your keyboard. This will help if you take notes. I didn't figure that out and learned it by watching someone else play.

If you actually watched the video you would have seen ( at 2:02 ) that the player leans towards one of the screens set to targeting pod. Also, An A-10 isnt a pick up and play kind of plane. Even in a casual setting you need to learn how to use it like most other planes/helicopters.

It takes a long time to learn it, but I believe it pays off in the end.

(I'd recommend visiting some classes on punctuation though)))

Youtube vids and a good joystick/throttle will help greatly

[srutherford1172]

yeah, that was an old comment, took a while to learn but I got it

[Rawrlex]

i suppose this is a troll thread. otherwise i lost a little more hope for humanity.

[srutherford1172]

this was started the day after I got the game, like a year ago. It is one of the more frustrating tutorials I have worked with, but I got over it, thanks for checking in

Does anyone have any recommended settings for THrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X? I can't even touch the rudders without the aircraft rolling all over the place.

you can set curves in the axis options.... meaning that isnted of 5% of stick movment equaling 5%ingame.... 5% stick would translate into 1% ingame.

stock settings are 1 to 1.... but you can set it so that at half of your sticks movment, the game only sees it as 1/4.

but at 100% stick, the game still sees it as 100%.

and to the OP.
its a sim dude... your not going to be able to jump into an a10 in real life and just fly the thing. im glad you figured it out.

when the tutorial says PRESS TMS UP SHORT OR THE K KEY.....you can go into options, press k, and it will take you to TMS UP, then you can set it tto what you want, or find the list of controls you need.

i constantly remap my controls.... when you get use to the plane, and know what buttons you press more often, you cna remap thows to buttons on your stick.

im got a x52 pro stick.... i use the one 8 way switch as the slew for my missles... but if a press and hold the pinky button, the same 8 way hat switch is used for zooming in and out, and creating a SPI mark point for lazor guided bombs.

this isnt how it wants me to set it up... it wants one 8 way switch for slew, and a totaly different one for zoom.... but to me, having all the controls for the mav/targeting pod cameria on one switch just makes WAY more sence.

Does anyone here have spare copies to sell? I was interested in it for a while after playing Black Shark 1, but I kept missing it when it was on decent sales. It then kinda got forgotten and after a while i noticed it wasn't on the store anymore :/ (and yes i know its a DLC in DCS world)

I dont have a problem learning the game I read the entire Falcon 4 manual when I was learing it twice and used it as a checklist. My problem with this sim is the plane always pitching or rolling. I can calibrate the joystick until the cows come home. But A10 always seems to roll one direction or the other. Ive never gotten it to fly straight and level.
