Yeah that caught me out too

Your rudder should be Joy_RZ

Toe brakes should be, for left Joy_X and right Joy_Y

me thinks I'm getting there.

I have assigned the rudder action and each toe break.

I think the rudders now are just to way to sensitive!

BTW thanks for help today much appreciated

I increased the tension adjustment on my pedals as I liked the sensitivity.

Well played with the play pedal behaviour using "Axis Tune" in the control settings and created a small dead zone with large curvature,smaller saturation. Now sort of content

Oh and I inverted my toe breaks!! Good job I played around first rather than doing a proper mission and finding out I'm landing with my wheel break on

Now I will start my training

Yes, invert the toe brakes and remember to tick the Slider box too. Like Mace said, it's a good idea to make sure no other extra functions are mapped to irrelevant controls. For instance, sometimes the game will assign function to buttons 1-12 for my Saitek rudder... which obviously does not have buttons. This usually happens after installing a new version of the game.

What does everyone use their slider for? I'm a bit surprised they didn't leave it as the throttle tension as in the real A-10.

The other piece of advice I highly recommend is picking up a USB trackball that works either right or left-handed, then keep it next to your throttle. The second mouse won't conflict with the primary mouse you use with your right hand, and if you have to use the mouse in flight, you can do so without removing your hand from the stick.

"remember to tick the Slider box too.."

hmmm,not understanding what this option does but if I do check it I get all sorts of problems, aircraft seems to turn/spin by itself etc
I have to uncheck it??

Congrats Steve, this sim just gets better with time and understanding.

It was about 5 months of training for me before I felt ready to tackle multiplayer. When you are ready join in an mp mission, especially with any of the folks from around here at SimHQ, the ability to ask questions and follow a conversation on techniques and functions is orders of magnitude better than training on your own. (The built in training is good, too!) There are a couple of pilots right now who are coming into the mp missions with little experience but are ramping up their abilities very quickly. We joke and poke each other over some of our individual techniques and it's great to get different perspectives. When you feel ready to join us don't hesitate too much - you can always fly around away from danger and watch and learn from the other guys. Your trigger finger will get itchy fast but you should be able to learn to survive longer, quicker.

A few weeks back the moderators put some new Training and Reference sub-forums at the top of this DCS A-10C forum - be sure to check those pages out.

Enjoy!

You have to tick it. A slider means the inputs go one way, like zero to 100. With the slider unticked, that means it can go from -100 to 0 to 100.
