[@MrTJPAS]

Cool, but I think I'll stick with mashing every button and switch in a panic while silently praying to myself that I don't explode the plane before I turn on the engines

[@KonwTheTrut]

That’s kind of been my angle. It’s been working great.

[@JydiRs]

Hold my beer, I can do that.

[@rickgrimes2742]

My beer can do that, hold me.

[@Grenen98]

Rick Grimes My hold can beer that, do me.

[@armafreak9616]

Grenen123 can my beer do that hold me

[@SkyhawkDriver]

ArmaFreak that beer do that me hold

[@casualgerm]

while all of you guys are holding eachother in a 'circle jerk'...im drinking your beers

[@Aeternum_]

Now we need a video for learning how to REMEMBER everything you just said.

[@AlehandroRojas]

Zaryte Sarutoshi x Write your own Pre-Flight Checklist.

[@Aeternum_]

AlehandroRojas I've since learned the procedure, it just took about 10 replays to learn surprisingly.

[@ComradeMarx1017]

Piece of paper, homie

[@reesestacks5103]

You should of said fuck it and ejected at the end.

[@britronizzo9750]

This comment is kinda 4 years late, but thank you. Watching these videos on how simple most of this eems is very nice. I've spent the last couple days just studying ways to fly in DCS and how it can apply to real life piloting. Makes me want to be in the Airforce

[@MrMegaDwarf]

We need a joystick cam!

[@pickinthatbanjo]

Ctrl+Enter would show his cyclic, throttle, yaw, and wheel brake inputs in a small display on the lower left of the screen. I use it all the time. Also works for any DCS aircraft

[@MegaLordBane]

I wish there was full simulation like this in Arma 3/2

[@rogantakeda1960]

A simulation like that will take a very long time to make, not to mention it's a lot of work. And then you won't be able to do anything until you learn all the complicated procedures for how long? Arma goes by authenticity and accessibility. But it would be nice though.

[@MegaLordBane]

I'd be fine learning how to work the controls, getting flying skills, etc. I want more authenticity over the accessibility, that's just my opinion though.

[@shaunh2467]

MegaLordBane A option to turn this on or off would be amazing though.

[@MegaLordBane]

Shaun H Yeah, would make it more viable. As people said, it would take awhile to implement..but the quality of the game would be insurpassable.

[@Hoot151]

they should totally implement this into arma, authenticity over accessibility all the way, make it so you actually have to learn to fly so you actually need pilots instead of any douche bag out of the bunch hopping in a pilot seat

[@MrHans30]

Actually, quite a few things are different to the original startup procedures. For example arming the ejection seat is one of the last things you do in something called the 'last chance' stage, which is when you're almost holding short of the runway and youre bombs are being armed. Also your pitot heat usually gets turned on just before takeoff because otherwise it'd just burn through. Just because it's not in the sim doesn't mean it's like that in real life..

[@dfurtman]

Devildog.. Go into options>controls tab. select A-10C sim, and axis commands. Click on your rudder axis, hit the axis tune button and slide the curvature slider to 22. This will be a good starting point to try out and will make your rudder less sensitive for the small movements and more sensitive when you've used full deflection on your rudders. 22 is the number I use and works great for ground steering and aerial gunnery.

[@eLLocoUno26]

Very interesting to see how everything starts up with the sequence of buttons/switches to get that A-10C 100% running. This will be awesome to see it in action!

[@kyleshepard3139]

knobs....dials.....toggles.....they're everywhere!

[@ElectricMayoGaming]

When Devil said he wasn't good at landing it reminded me of indiana Jones when he tells his dad: "Fly yes, land no"

[@SchwarzAA]

at the time i didn't know it was DCS never thought it was a thing, i always thought it was FSX, and i was following your EFT gameplay never thought i like a video of yours 7 year ago, life was simpler back then

[@archiethedog4515]

Can't wait to see you master this plane. I am sure it's a steep learning curve, but I know that you're pretty smart.

[@chrisdyer9722]

Turn EGI and CDU on as soon as the APU starts. #1 throttle (left) over the hump first, after the start cycle light goes out, #2 over the hump. EAC is said in the A-10 world as E-ack, and CICU is pronounced kick-u. Just a little real world info for you. Love the video and the graphics though. Looks like an awesome game.

[@2FlyCaptain]

On landings I recommend using Dynamic braking as long as possible which means keeping your nose wheel off the ground to maximize drag and save the brakes. I was taught this by a real world F-16 flight instructor.

[@TimmyTSkins03]

don't turn off your battery next time. if your generators go out and your battery is off you will lose all power to the acft. just saying.

well it makes noise

[@2shae475]

Battery is left in the PWR position to act as a backup power source after the engine's AC Gens have taken over.

[@Uberbrat22]

I like how you say peace at the end of your videos even though you were in the marines

[@thesatanboy]

The only youtuber i actually turn my death metal down to listen to (or off, actually). You´re awesome Devil!!! 666 Love from Sweden (onnerby country). Skål på dig din jävel!

[@frank9709]

I will stick with turn the ignition, put it in drive and go

[@PappaLitto]

push in the clutch, put it in first, slowly pull out the clutch and apply power and go

[@MrDjhunts12]

pop clutches not pills

[@Elitepoosniff]

I can`t imagine the intensity of this in real life, knowing that soldiers on the ground miles away need your support.

[@coyote47713]

Well devil was in a rifleman squad (I think) so he didn't exactly know what he was doing trained A-10 pilots do this almost every day I think

[@EvilTwinn]

Congrats on the 600 videos!

[@BraindeadCRY]

What is this madness? A real A10 starts up in 5 seconds and can do loops right after takeoff!! I learned this in Battlefield, and battlefield is totally like super realistic!

[@CODH8TER67]

"We're coming in too hard and too fast" "and that was fast, I'm hard" - DDG

[@ironroad18]

I have always flown the F-15 in DCS/LockOn. Thinking about getting the Mirage 2000 and A-10C modules after watching this.

[@Kaiimei]

Devil, you should look at Nerd³ Plays... Digital Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog, and laugh at how he fails massively xD

[@JuanMatamurkd]

don't turn your battery switch off when you shut your apu down. the battery is necessary for your primary instruments to function in case of engine failure so you can land etc. just keep it on once you turn it on.

[@RockinEnabled]

I play the standalone game DCS A-10C Warthog and the first mission in the first campaign makes you take off before the enemy gets on the airstrip close to you. It is a couple minutes! Around 3-5 perhaps. I'm still playing tutorials, so I'm really looking forward to completing that escape mission :D

[@scotty677]

I've subbed after watching this video, just could not stop smiling this looks amazing, how long have you played this game to get to the level you are at

[@a520384]

Leave your battery on, if you have a dual flamout you will still have your instruments/lights, also this keeps the battery connected to be charged. By turning it off and you loose both generators (dual flameout) you will not be able to tell whats going on. Visit us on UOAF on Sundays. Also come in with your boards out so you're up on your n1. This is in case you have to go around your spool up time is minimized.

[@nomoremarxistbs7410]

Suited n' booted hittin' switches in a drop top A-10. Now that's G!

[@EchoOfLohengrin]

Devil. Ideally, on landing, you want to keep your inertial indicator (circle with inverted T) between 0 and 5 degrees below horizon, and maintain about 140kts, to avoid smacking the ground and breaking things.

[@stella-viator2260]

I once had the oppertunity to run a Mission in a Falcon Simulator (Space Shuttle Full Mockup Simulator like what they use to train Astronauts) and I don't remember having to do anything near that amount of things to Start it up.

[@MercyD123]

If you can walk away... It's a good landing ;) Great work man, takes some patience to learn DCS. Good job and keep it up.

[@jasonerhart1775]

Awesome video. I would have loved to see you do a combat mission in this video. Perhaps you have already done one with the A-10 in this video that I haven't found yet. I need to check your page out a bit further for that.

[@Sawta]

Love the DCS videos, keep them coming! A few questions on your start up sequence though: Any particular reason why you didn't start the CDU NAV alignment process once you got power to the bird? That's usually the first thing I do since it takes so darn long. Also, I usually like to perform a bit test on the IFFCC before putting it into active mode, seems weird that you performed the oxygen test but not that one.

[@isair81]

Good stuff Devil, looking forward to seeing more!

[@crazycdn8327]

Don't turn off your battery.

[@pickinthatbanjo]

I like to equate it to a fairly simple task consisting of numerous smaller tasks.

[@HITZMAN1212]

i about to get some rudder pedals, the Saitek Combat series. what do you think of those and what type do you run. also is there a specific hotas profile your running? im running the warthog. thanks for a great video learned a lot.

[@DD-sw1dd]

Battery power needs to stay on at all times after spool up. If you ever loose power in both engines and have to air restart you'll need to realign the INS as well. Your navigation will be screwed until alignment finishes again. Leaving the battery on after startup is how it's suppose to be done. Your battery won't go dead bc the generator is handling the load....and it functions as redundancy incase you loose engine power.

[@MrZombie999]

Dl'ed this yesterday so this is just what i needed to see

[@MHadron]

Dont turn on the Master Arm until you reach the AO.

[@theaceofspades485]

"Teach you how to start this" *BIG-BAD-BITCH* ...I'm listening.

[@cplboot]

Wow man, you're good. Where did you learn all this?

[@koenevers9101]

DCS provides good training videos (people who say they're bad are incapable of sitting down and listening) Google helps alot also, not to mention that DD has a handful of guys at his disposal for questions

[@cplboot]

I don't even own this game, so I thought it was harder. You can't deny it's a lot of stuff to remember tho.

[@koenevers9101]

Jackbenv never denied it, heck it's ALOT to take in, but that's the fun part about this, DD figured out how to start the a-10 up, knows how to atleast deploy most weapons in the most simple way, now he gets to learn a2a refueling, missile avoidance, combat employment, CDU usage, waypoints/steerpoints, navigation systems and how to work together with other players... if you put it in perspective, it's little however the first steps are the most difficult. Atleast we know we've got some fun videos coming up

[@missionmanify]

you really remind me of my flight instructor, you talk the same way! you would make a great pilot or instructor!

[@NadesNBlades]

There is an aviator adage that goes as such: Any landing you walk away from is a good landing.

[@myZisfantastic]

Stop moving your head! I'm sick after ten seconds :D

[@MrTornadoman97]

Damn Devil, start putting out videos just as I get back into this amazing sim. Come join me and my friends if you want, his name is Bluedrake42 and you can find him on here. He puts out solid videos and isn't a small channel, has a little over 10k subs.

[@brendaproffitt1011]

Totally incredible video and the information on this video was great....Thank you so so much...

[@evilsanta8585]

600 videos YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHhhh CONGRATS

[@arfintr1522]

i love the ac-10c plane :D such an awesome jet!!!! i love that huuuuge gau at the nose of the plane :D this is sooo coool

[@SCtbf4]

After this DD you should do some War Thunder FRB!!! I just started and I still use mouse and keyboard haha

[@TheDevildogGamer]

SOON! Tank gameplay should be coming soon

[@brendanstanton7079]

war thunder sucks balls with a joystick

[@PullMePlonker]

TheDevildogGamer Awesome!

[@FluffyThumper4k]

FRB isn't very realistic.

[@SCtbf4]

brendan stanton Are you playing Arcade with joystick? If so then yes it does. Arcade flight models are too twitchy for joystick use. But Realistic (historic battles) and FRB can handle using a joystick fairly well.

[@pilotingace6782]

thanks for tutorial, one of the more complex aircraft from the game

[@wenderia7990]

Only Devil would attempt a landing without flaps at first

[@Scoobydcs]

when the master caution kicks in at 3:40 you can turn the apu generator off and the apu aswell

[@XixIXca]

nr 600 video :) congrats TheDevilDogGamer

[@CallsignSimba]

Oh yeah and half of the dials and buttons aren't even used often. And btw, devil, while you're in your ascent, you should change your group/self ID and your laser code, not on the ground. Also, one of the first things you should turn on in the A-10C is the alignment/NAV switches. I personally turn them on right after I turn the battery, inverter, etc. The weapon systems are also very easy to learn. I recommend you start learning how to use bombs with the GBU-12 and the CBU-105 (watch a few tutorials on those) as I remember you made a video a while back where I believe you did ground attack with just guns or something and maybe it wasn't even targets you were shooting at. I forget :). The landing speed can range between 120/130-160 depending on your weight. One last piece of advice: fuck what the tutorial says. Following every exact order it tells you to do stuff and when wastes time and can be confusing. For example, it tells you to turn NWS off at 70 knots. I turn mine off by instinct. When I feel it's too sensitive, I turn it off. Sometimes I even turn it off right after I start rolling down the runway or before it. Hope this helps a little bit in your quest to learning how to use a few of the systems in the A-10C. Good luck :D

[@kain8800gts]

you could add some curves to the view axis for your track ir in the controls devil ;) might help keep it nice and smooth great vid tho :)

[@bryceanhk1428]

happy 600th video

[@Ibfaded]

Now that's what I'm talking about. How does redemption feel devil?

[@RRVCrinale]

Now I know why ready five is such a big deal airpower-wise.

[@Nine-TailedFox4]

UUuuuuuuhh, ill stick to the Mustang...

[@Ryansanders80]

+IAB98Raptor meh too

[@mattloveday1434]

Your so pessimistic that was an amazing landing nice job

[@carterbyers6172]

also devildog if you turn on your cdu and egi power switches when u do battery and oxygen they have time to power up and makes startup faster i do it and it starts fine just letting u know if u want to get in the air faster. also how much did u buy warthog flight stick for is $400-$450 a good price?

[@-_Nuke_-]

is there a playlist with all the ramp starts from all the jets in the game?

[@HawkCZ6]

7:15 Actually, you don't need to press numbers on CDU, you can use keyboard under HUD.

[@Syfnx55]

On takeoff never put the throtle at 100% put it at about 96% because I flyed one of these beasts when I was in the USAF stationed at selfrige airbase, MI.

[@PhillMagGamerDad]

You flyed it? What most people don't realise, is that Airforce pilots are pretty smart, the academic requirements are a hell of a lot higher than other branches of the military. For that reason, I dispute your claim of ever flying an A10. An actual military pilot would not use the word "flyed", nor would they type 1 continuous sentence with no punctuation.

[@Userext47]

i would like to see devil flying C-130 in DCS world of course

[@demonman1234]

For anyone in the future just getting this plane: The flaps deploy at 150 kts, this is so you don't rip them off.

[@CrazyKid7451]

Moar DCS. This is an awesome game :D

[@klaaspaulus123]

How do I make it so I can move around the cockpit with my mouse as well as clicking all the buttons and stuff? Using the number pad is a real pain...

[@Dobhrionn]

Ah Bitching Betty, nice to hear that voice again...

[@sapplintheif365]

I would like to see some more actual gameplay and combat, that would be awesome

[@GriggsC123]

All you need now is some Thrustmaster MFD Panels.

[@BoogeyMan828]

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for anyone that needs a good but cheap flight stick. Thats what i use. Has anyone heard about the DCS F35 they are working on?

[@BoogeyMan828]

***** Cool story bro.

[@Aleksitusasd]

F-35 is very ewww, it's a flying failure.

[@BoogeyMan828]

Aleksitusasd The F-35 for DCS World genius. I dont care how it fly's in real life. ewwwww

[@Aleksitusasd]

ZombieAnusPounder I hope they model in how shitty it really is, you know, all that cracking fuselage, non integrated ASRAAM and engine blowout goodness.

[@AthruZGaming]

Aleksitusasd You only know what you read about the F35 from the internet, same as me. GTFO with your nonsense. No one cares.

[@HotPokkets]

Has your squad or whatever you're called ever had to call in an airstrike? whilst you werein the military.

[@yaminerenri]

So on the a10 you click on the buttons in the cockpit you don't have to use your key board to do it like the su25?

[@TheRealAmerica1776]

One does not simply play this game and call it easy

[@sandchar]

Joshua Jerred Says the guy that dosent play the game

[@sandchar]

As in its not easy!!!! you say it is

[@13athanatosgr13]

Its easy when you learn it ofc... but its difficult for a begginer...

[@EvoSwatch]

agree, i play like 2 weeks and now in SU-25T i can Take off, Air-To-Ground (Bombs not missiles), and Dogfight, but i cannot land because i never land always get shot down, and the amazing thing is i use keyboard and mouse, not joystick, or a paddle or something

[@Gperalta]

Just imagine if you had to do this in arma 2 whenever you hopped in a jet hahaha

[@carlitosskater89]

Damn i like this videogame. PLz make more!

[@TehJusto]

Nice video Devildog

[@LONGIRAFFE]

DDG Try a higher angle glide slope for landing and DONT FORGET THE FLARE! ;) Love the vids!

[@ElementalchaosHD]

DD do you play version 1.2.6 or are you trying the beta for 1.2.7? Dunno if I wanna upgrade to 1.2.7 haha

[@chrismcmillen6828]

i dont have the patience to play this game myself but its entertaining when u play ha

[@sarbrehawk5976]

My brother was is an ex british R.A.F pilot he wishes there was a simulator mode, the irony.

[@PhillMagGamerDad]

Does TrackIR not have a "dampener" or acceleration tweak that resolves the jittering? I'm running a DIY headtracker using OpenTrack that shakes less than this.....and saved myself $400 in the process......ANYHOW, thanks for the tutorial!

[@CallsignSimba]

People may think that this shit is tough. I can assure you that it's not. Of you want to actually TRY and learn it, if I can learn it in less than 30 minutes, than anybody can. It looks hard but it's really actually very easy. Once you learn it and start it up manually every time, it becomes natural and second nature. If you don't want to manually start it up, you can even press right windows+home to auto start it. Seriously guys, it's not hard. It honestly would be cool if DCS and ARMA could be brought into one game, but that's WAYYYY unrealistic for that happening in the next 10 years IMHO. If it were reality, though, I would laugh as hard as I did when DCS was added to Steam, watching everybody try to fly these planes, especially the pro ARMA pilots. Lol. Would be great. I'm a very good ARMA pilot IMO, but when I try, I am also a very good pilot in DCS. DCS isn't a game where you don't need very much effort to succeed for most people, and maybe requires even more teamwork than ARMA.

[@not_falcon3832]

Devil can u do more island life?

[@gvhjvffgvfuhh1989]

Hi, because the a-10 is armoured , which weapon is good for defence the a-10 at ground??

[@AdamsOlympia]

Do you have the Thrustmaster Warthog throttle? I just have the joystick and need to buy a good sim throttle w/ buttons & switches. Is the Thrustmaster one worth $236 bucks or any other ones that are as good or better for similar (or less) money? p.s. Love DCS world. All I have so far beyond the free planes is the P-51D Mustang; Going to wait till I master that until I buy any others.

[@oppotato5440]

Adam Olympia thrustmaster 1 is really good

[@evzdominos]

devil would you be confident enough to start up a real a-10 ?

[@ronniepaulinc]

are you using VR or some sort of head tracking?

[@nicotavo]

Is this the A-10 that come in the Flaming cliffs 3?

[@sleepyboiuwu6815]

wait were u a warthog pilot in the marines orwere u not in the marines?

[@rjet43]

I know this is an old video however I just watched it and several others and all of them skip the signal lights test and the fire detect bleed air leak test, all should be done prior to engine start. Ps I worked on the A-10 just so you know

[@RustyNailGaming]

Dude.. are you going to be a real pilot one day? :O

[@zumioz9226]

Were the boost pumps not implemented back then?

[@CallsignSimba]

On your landing you were actually too slow with all of that weight. Your nose was flaring fairly high way too long and way too early. You should really only flare your nose up that high when you flare to slow your vertical speed for your touchdown

[@crazycdn8327]

Oh and test all your warning lights before starting the APU. Sorry for two quick posts :)
