You serious?

They cannot be deleted. This accords with the procedure in the real aircraft.

This has further been confirmed to be the case by various A-10C crew-chiefs and SME's over on the DCS forums if you have a careful look.

They can be over-written but they cannot be deleted.

To clarify, I put "lesser" in quotes, because some folks have this (IMO, false) assumption that ED has lesser flight models. The idea was that even if you credit them that this were true, the platform still has evolved faster and delivered on it's promises more than DCS.

Hmm, seems I'm wrong, from what I can gather, the delete button wasn't implemented until a later suite of the A10, it's a bit of a confusing mess, a lot of people including me were under the impression the delete function was missing.

Most of the comments in the DCS forums just state you can't delete them, they don't give the reason why. A guy over on reddit says"You can see a Markpoint clear button on the CDU of later suites, unfortunately ours does not have it."
So obviously that manual page I found in the DCS forums is from later suite.

ED don't seem to update older modules so I guess that's as good as it gets, if they did we would have a delete button.

A10 pilots saw a need for it, so do sim pilots.

Maybe it's in a non-public version of the A10...who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



No I do stand up.

ED had permission from the DOD to create an A-10C, Suite 3 sim. They do not have permission to add features from later Suites so that is why it has not been added.

Where did ED state this ?

Somewhere on the forum back in 2010 or 2011 and several times since.

Not that it matters now.

I now have the knowledge the A10C is suite 3 and the current one is suite 8...this is not a good feeling, especially after reading this :

...guess I'll have to settle for the shiny new FLIR system. :/

A few months ago i would have joined the haters and bashed ED to pieces, saying I would never buy anything from them again. I was at a point where I just hated everything about DCS and the slow process off getting to 2.5 and other problems.

But a few days ago i decided to try DCS again in lack of something else to play, and i fired up a plane i once bought but never used and tought i would never be intrested in, the f-86 sabre. Joined the korean server, after the first intense dogfight with a mig15 I was mindblown, what a rush, most intense moments i ever had in a flightsim, made me forget about the old ugly terrain and all other things that had bothered me about DCS. Im now back to being a fanboy, buy everthing they sell, the sabre sucked me back into this sim again and im hooked.

I even started enjoying normandy ww2 and bought the spitfire, just hope they can solve the problem with MSAA and deffered shading.

Now i kinda regret that I got myself banned from the ED forum.(wasnt their fault, I was asking for it😜)

Long live ED and may DCS grow and prosper for many years to come, hallelujah😎

I so wish people would not be so simple

Some of use really really LOVE playing DCS .... but think that some of the business decisions ED makes are very bad
It is not a simple black and white type thing

Thats awesome. I'm glad you're finally getting your moneys worth and enjoyment out of he sim. That is after all why we buy these products. The end result of going out to work day in day out. To spend our money and to be able to enjoy our time off. If I could I would gift you my unused modules so you could enjoy those too.

yes - one of the very good things about the new licensing is that we can gift our modules - that is something I am looking forward to.

That is good news. Be prepared for a give away.

that was a very common complaint in our community - I can understand not allowing 3rd party websites selling modules, but people who bought modules should be able to give them away as a gift.

I am happy that you've found your fire for DCS again. I wonder why you say "lack of something else to play" though? I guess you prefer the Korean War era aircraft?

I also fail to see how enjoying the F-86 means buying everything they sell? Surely enjoyment of one module does not mean you'll enjoy every module....

Absolutely. I always feel like the customers were/are being penalised for being loyal to DCS. Thats just not right. My personal feelings so dont take that personaly anybody.

Why does it matter to you how he spends his money? Or what he flies? Or what Sim he flies to the exclusion of others?

Common decency dictates that you’ll take his word for it and not question his intent. Really man, that tone is just argumentative.

Àaaaaaaand here he is right on cue.

Welcome to you as well. This is after all a discussions board where more than one participant to every discussion is allowed, yes?

Or is there a secret club of posters? Outsiders not allowed?

Yes you are correct this is a proper discussion board
