Thanks Fin.. still on the edge (of jumping off the cliff) of pre-ordering the Tomcat. Decisions, decisions.

Finally watched the video...cold chills... just might break down and take the plunge. Still want the A10C..this sh$t is getting expensive ?!

May just have to try me some of this! If I can takeoff from somewhere remote and hide ?!

Thanks. Downloaded and installed on the first try... that's a new record for me ?!

I think I am about 5-6 hours time wise behind your part of the world. Being retired and pretty much a homebody, allows me to join the fun in the early afternoon my time most days. I have put Fen to bed at midnight his time many times ?!

Welcome to the fun Mark. I can surely attest to Fen's (Tom)skill as a mentor. I can takeoff and land (and on rare occasions dogfight) in the DCS Spit (and other ACs because of his tutelage). I am a newbie to the Dogz but I've felt "at home" with all of them from the beginning. So come on in, the water is just fine. BTW: Howdy from Texas, USA!

All that can be yours for the paltry sum of $90 beginning Oct 1.

Updated.. thanks Tom!

I'm in, but I have all modules and all but 3 aircraft as well as pre-ordered Bodenplatte. I agree that those that have none or only the bare minimum need to speak to this change.

...is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness month, hence the change to my profile picture. It will go back to my ugly mug in October. That is all, carry on!

True... I do remember flying one evening (my time) on a DF map created by a DD member..just don't remember who. TOAD was there so I will ask him.

Maybe something like the great map set on the DD CLoD server? Not saying we set up a server, just using that as an example. Just throwing stuff out and seeing what might stick I am <in my best Yoda voice>.

Why not just run dogfight type maps like what WOL runs? Have objectives for both sides to accomplish, make most if not all AC available so there is a lesser chance of folks getting "locked" out. I'll shut up now as I probably don't know what I'm talking about (as usual). And no, I have no idea how to accomplish the preceeding.

...still swapped controller assignments in 1946. I know I was saying since I went to a powered usb hub that swapping was no longer an issue. It still isn't with all other games (DCS, CLoD, BoX), but between me changing joy sticks (going back to my CH from the Thrustmaster T.16000m) to get more buttons and the latest Win 10 update, scrambled 1946 good. No worries, it's all sorted again and we will see if the next update effects anything if I don't change joysticks in the midst of the update.

Thanks Fen! Exactly what I was looking for info wise. I know I said I probably would not go beyond what I have (F86-F5) but I like doing the mud moving thing now and then and the A10 would add an extra layer above the F5. Waiting on sale time to get the -C. Of course it would be an excuse to get the Warthog HOTAS ??!

For those that may have one (or more) of these, other than the obvious, what is/are the advantage(s) (or lack thereof) of these models in game? The A model is $15 USD and the C model is $60 USD. Just curious at this point. Thanks!

Okay, color me ignorant, but the only JSGME I have is for 1946. I assume there is a different one for other games?

Mondays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Wednesdays....they are mostly all the same to me, but then again, I don't have a life to speak of anyway ?! You set it up and I will do my best to partake in the merriment!

looks impressive!!!

Reviving an old topic. Tweaked on my control settings today, actually matched pitch, roll and rudder to Fen's original settings in this thread. I also put a little reverse curve in my throttle (don't ask how much, I forgot) to help me with torque control and poof, I made 4 landings without even a polished wingtip after yesterday morning's 5 out of 6 crashes on landing attempts. Of course, now that I put this in writing, I never land again and will be forced to bailout over the runway every time ?!
