Hi everyone. I must be missing something??? Whenever I start world, there is an icon with the A-10 along with a $. I click and it brings me to the DCS store? I'd love to fly her in World because I think the terrain looks so much better.

Thanks in advance! There are just soooooo many posts I can't find my answer, blah.

You need to have bought either the standalone version of DCS:A-10 or the DCS:World A-10 module. One you have installed DCS:World run any A-10 mission, you'll be prompted for the A-10 product key. Enter key and fly the A-10.

To add to Para's post, once you purchase the key, you'll need to also download and install the A-10C DCS World module. That'll get rid of the $ and then DCS will prompt you for the activation code.

Remember, when you log into multiplayer, use the same login info that you used to purchase the activation code. This will save you heartache and frustration later.

Thanks for the quick replies, however I still have questions (I know I know).

Para, when you say open an A-10 mission, from where are you talking? I was in World, and navigated to a mission in the the mission folder in my stand alone DCS A-10. The mission came up, but I was not included in anything, only AI aircraft.

I know I'm doing something wrong, missing something really easy.

Have you installed the A-10C module for DCS World? Even if you previously own and have A-10C installed, you need to install the module for world. Then you can enter the code somewhere (I never had to because I had an old install of "standalone" A-10C).

Lead, how do I d/l and install the module? I've installed and played the stand alone A-10C. Then I d/l and installed world. Ok so when I run world, of course all I have is the SU. I don't understand the module part. Right now it's still confusing however after I get it going, I'm going to feel like an idiot!

Thanks for covering me angel

Click on the A-10c icon with the dollar sign on it in the World home page. This will take you to the DCS website for the A-10c module.
Or you can go directly to the DCS website to D/L the module without going into DCS World in your game. There will be a download place in this website
that will allow you to D/L modules. D/L the A-10c module. When you play for the first time after this it will ask for your activation key. Enter the activation key on your stand alone A-10c game.

P.S The modules are to download different aircraft etc to play in the World environment.
