Fromall the sims i remember the most ofc Falcon 4.0, Flight of the intruder witch also had a copy of the book and the Manual from the A320 on the Amiga. It had the basic, relatively small manual and a yellow pages sized book with all airport charts from Europe from Jeppesen and an assortment of high altitude IFR charts.

As for the A10C manual, i suggest you print it out by yourself using spiral holes to bind it witch makes it allot easier to read. Instead of the spirals though i use cable ties. They never break loose and look cool as a bible out of a Mad Max film.


I have had a few situations that called for it. It has happened usually after severe structural damage to wing or tail which led to hydraulic failure. The control surfaces stopped working completely, and manual reversion allowed me to regain control of the aircraft.


So what happens if you trim down while in manual reversion? well, in normal operation the trim tab would move down to increase the elevator lift to cause the tail to move upward, causing your nose to go down.


The flight manual states that this is incorrect. In manual reversion mode pitch trim is still possible, but roll trim is not possible, since in manual reversion mode aileron control are disconnected from the stick and the stick instead controls the aileron trim tabs. The following is an excerpt form the A-10C flight manual:


Like he said, I have no use for manual reversion because it simply is not modeled correctly in the sim plus even losing both engines I have never lost hydraulics to need manual reversion. If manual reversion behaved the real world like it does in the DCS World almost ever Functional Check Flight after a phase inspection we would be crashing A-10s.


This was one of the first bugs I submitted to ED when I was a tester was that with engine loss you didn't lose hydraulic pressure. Needless to say over 4 years later they didn't fix it because they don't believe me and they feel the fans spinning would keep hydraulic pressure from bleeding off.


You don't have to tell me about any A-10 famous cases, I've worked A-10s on and off for almost 20 years. Because of this I know exactly how both the right and left hydraulic systems work and that engine failure is not the only way.


Little known fact: the reason why a right engine failure during takeoff is considered more critical than a left engine failure in the A-10, is because the loss of R HYD system pressure will cause the slats to extend a few seconds after losing the engine, increasing drag significantly and resulting in degraded Single-Engine Rate of Climb (SEROC).


2. I've been able to set preloaded frequencies in the Mission Editor but the box for names is closed so I can't name the preset freq. And then when I try a Prepare Mission and manually enter the name in the MFCD (using the UFC) it always defaults back to Wing, etc, etc. and not the name I typed in.




The above is the beginning of the description of the Intercom Panel.

My assessment is that the ARC-210, like the AN/ARC-164, does not have a volume control. The AN/ARC-186 does have a Volume control, but the manual describes it as "initial volume". I guess that's the volume at pre-amplifier stage output.


Edit:

I wanted to bind the Volume knob on the Intercom Panel to a rotary encoder. So I selected the category "Intercom Control panel and happily found the bindings "INT volume decrease" and "INT volume increase". But when I went to the cockpit and used the rotary encoder, it rotated the button labelled "INT". I didn't try if the rotation has any effect.

So I went back to Controls/Options and found the bindings "Volume volume decrease" and "Volume volume increase". These actually rotate the "Volume" knob on the panel. The naming of this control binding is (IMO) ridiculous. It should be named "Master Volume Control".


The knobs "FM", "VHF" and "UHF" also have bindings for "volume increase" and "volume decrease", but the manual states "Rotary Selector position will not matter". So why do we have those bindings? Seems to be that a bit of clean-up would be appropriate.

This manual will explain how you can use DCS-BIOS to connect the clickable cockpit of a DCS: World aircraft to real-world hardware such as toggle switches, push buttons, rotary encoders, potentiometers and displays.


So you want to build a panel for your DCS: World aircraft.Whether you own a CNC machine or just a drill and a hot glue gun, you probably have some idea of how to use the tools available to you to mount controls such as push buttons, toggle switches, rotary encoders and potentiometers to a faceplate.


We understand the frustrations when you try to build something or use something that has little or no instructions.This document was produced to ensure you have the help you need.It was written in easy to understand terminology aimed specifically at the novice.You do not have to be a programmer or an electrical engineer to understand it.After you read this User Guide, you will be able to connect a simple switch panel to DCS.


On a low-end system (running DCS at 10 to 15 fps), we did not notice any measurable performance impact.On a high-end system, running DCS-BIOS reduced the framerate from 55 fps to 52 fps (about 5% slower).The additional computation it requires of your PC or its precious resources is negligible.


"So ED just broke my switch panel with their latest update".DCS-BIOS will not let that happen.DCS-BIOS isolates your switch panel from the impact of any changes that Eagle Dynamics might introduce in an update.In the extremely rare event that Eagle Dynamics does make a change that breaks something, we will ensure DCS-BIOS is immediately updated.Your panels will always maintain their functionality.


The communication protocol that DCS-BIOS uses to talk to your panel was designed with slow serial ports in mind.Your indicators, gauges and displays will never stutter or lag during a flurry of activity in the cockpit.Pressing the signal lamp test button when spooling up the engines, or when half your caution lights panel is blinking after a SAM hit will have no impact on how fast your cockpit instruments respond.


There are a variety of interface boards available that allow you to connect switches or rotary encoders or maybe even both to DCS.DCS-BIOS however, extends way beyond any solution you might presently find.In fact, it is the most comprehensive means of connecting your switch panel to any combination of your DCS aircrafts' buttons, switches, rotary encoders, potentiometers, push buttons, three way switches etc., etc.In short, if it can be manipulated using Lua, DCS-BIOS supports it.


DCS-BIOS was designed to work with the Arduino family of microcontroller boards.Why? The choice was easy.By using a popular, general-purpose microcontroller development board instead of designing a custom PCB, we benefit from the low cost associated with mass production and economics of scale.Suitable boards can be bought for approximately $25 from the official Arduino store.100% compatible clones can be purchased on eBay or Amazon for just a few dollars each.


The popularity of the Arduino platform has also spawned a huge number of online tutorials, guides and blog posts.There is an almost endless supply of support available.In fact, you may also find numerous other uses for it besides controlling your cockpit.


You are now going to create a sketch for your Arduino board that connects it to DCS and makes your switch and LED work as in your DCS aircraft cockpit.In order to simplify this process you will begin your sketch by opening a "template" that we have provided.Until such day as you become an Arduino programming expert you will start every new sketch with this template.It provides all of the essential code necessary to communicate with DCS.It automatically reads the state of your connected switches and reports this to DCS-BIOS which then updates the switches of your DCS aircraft.


Another function of this template is to automatically gather output data from DCS.You can use this data to make gauges function, displays work or indicator lights to light up.We will provide you with several examples in the appendix.


Go to your saved Games folder/DCS-BIOS/doc and double-click on the file control-reference.htmlYour web browser will automatically open and display all sorts of colorful headings and code.If you see a red warning instead, you need to enable JavaScript in your web browser and reload the page.
