Training videos

[Corley_C]

This thread is aimed at supplying instructional videos to teach one the A-10c's systems, weapons, navigation...etc. More so for people who are brand new to the module as I am currently.

I personally find it easier to learn the A-10C by watching other people do it, this is also particularly useful for non-HOTAS people when configuring your controllers. Not only does it give a better reference most of the time, but you can also go step by step until you understand everything. From my perspective (brand new to A-10c) it is easiest to watch 10-15 minutes worth of video, then stop, go in game and apply what you just watched until you have learned the given subject. Everyone has their own method, this seems to work very well for me.

I will update the threat with videos I come across as time progresses.

 Nice man, that's helpful

Hey Corley, can you change the name of this thread to A10C related.
I was thinking about dedicating this section of the forums to be aircraft specific.

btw, we still need more resources for F15C, SU27 and of course SU25T for beginners.


Props deserve some love too. Once we get going on that end, threads for K4, D9 and P51D will be needed.

I will try to figure out how to change the thread name, I asked Pand about modifying threads yesterday but he must have been busy as I didn't hear back. I will change it to ''A-10C Training Videos'' when I do get some information. I'm not necessarily volunteering to be the ''training video'' guru per say. However, I will do what I can as I start flying more DCS aircraft as time progresses.

Just name it A10C training, so it will prbably be a general format for the training threads.

Another good documentary on some A-10 history. The interview at the end is pretty incredible.

-Basic quick and effective startup

   Here is a written checklist following the startup sequence video above. This will start the aircraft, in a ''scramble'' manner. The only things that have to be set at that point are the radios and lights, which I will leave at y'alls discretion. The left hand side numbers represent the number in sequential order from start to finish, the letter(s) with a circle is what side the switch is on. For example, R is right side panels, L is left side, UL is upfront left (referring to the Auxiliary Hand Control Panel) next to the steam ADI, and H is HUD.

I don't know what I was thinking. I meant to say (Armament HUD Control Panel)

UL is upfront left (referring to the Auxiliary Hand Control Panel)

A great WIKI for CDU usage, videos are good. However, it is nice just to have a list to look through and memorize. Copy and paste the link below:
