Here's the neccesary steps to starting your plane and becoming an ace of crashing.ġ- On the right panel of your plane (On the picture go down from the 2 to the end of the screen directly below it, then go right to the furthest switch on the closest row to you) And turn on the battery.Ģ- Turn on the inverter switch (Up one from the battery and to the right)ģ- Turn on radios to proper modes (Look at 4, the top and very bottom knobs circled should be to TR, and the middle to main)(The middle one, can also be set to BOTH mode, meaning you'll be able to tansmit and recieve. Starting the plane is the first thing you must do before flying, derp. This is not afffected at all in multiplayer. Your pilots stats, medals and achievents are shown here. The pilot can die if you crash unless it is set to unvunrable. This profile and its stats are only affected by single player missions (including the editor).
Logbook- Profile for your SINGLE PLAYER profile. I reccomend you learn to use the Editor fluently before even looking at this.Įncyclopdia- List of every unit, sprite, object and anything else in DCS, along with stats, info and description.
Will let you literally replicate any military scenario accuatley and with ease.Ĭampaign Editor- Like the editor, but instead of creating single missions this lets you link multiple missions together into a whole custom campaign. Stats are not tracked, clicking this will minimize the game and go to another screen.Įditor- Start creating a mission from a blank slate, lots of advanced functionality and features. Very fun, missions increase in difficulty as you go. Mission- Lets you select from any missions you have: Downloaded, saved or createdĬampaign- Lets you play the premade campaign as an American A-10C pilot in the Russian - Georgian War. DCS is not the type of game where you learn on the fly very well. Training- Training missions for DCS, pretty self explanatory, I highly reccomend doing all of these missions, as DCS if a very, VERY, complicated game as it is nearly an exact simulation of flying a combat aircraft. It also gives you a chance to move or tweak anything once the mission is generated. Each mission is approximatley 30 min - 1 hour long.Ĭreate Fast Mission- This option is alot like Instant Action, but instead of going straight into the fray, it lets you oultine parameters, then generates the mission how you like. You also may select the season for each difficulty. Instant Action- This option lets you start off flying in mid air with the aircraft.The missions are pre generated, and are in order from easy to hard. Pretty much as Vanilla A10C menu, this one is from DCS World (free version that links all DCS games so you can play them together, you must buy seperate games though) only differance is bottom logos on left. Before anything is done in DCS A-10C, you must know what each menu button does in the main menu.
