"DCS: A10 Beta" Landing a damaged A10

Mind you, this is a play-back, so you can't see me clicking the switches, etc.

Great game though. I lost my wing tip to hostile fire, and had to fly back to an airfield to land her. Though you can't see it, I made extensive use of the emergency trim function on the yellow, left-hand cockpit side panel to keep the plane relatively level in-flight, and so I could focus on the TADs, HUD, and instrumentation without having to stress about the joystick.

DUDE YOU SHOULD OF DROP THE ROCKETS,AND LANDED ON THE BELLY WITH OUT GEAR DOWN...

After reading the comments I am quite saddened. It seems that ignorance is more and more common... Particularly about aviation. It seems that the majority of people here do not have the slightest idea of an aircraft actually operates, even worse they think that any damage at all means that all hope is lost. If such were the case, aviation, sailing, driving for that matter, would all be just a dream.

Wouldn't a gear up landing be better than using just 2 sets of wheels? Of course you would have had to fire the Rockets / Missiles first, Still a nice landing :)

Im going to get this sim, thought about downloading it but i think now better to wait and order it online and have delivered than a hefty download.

Oh and those that say it would not fly, you want to see just how badly mashed up planes have made it back, especially planes like Lancaster bombers in WW2 just incredible ;)

@Braeden123698745 What flight computers? heh

nice landing

[Braeden123698745]

Did the flight computers compensate or did you have too>

@97epicman Well, you could fly with mouse and keyboard but I say that a joystick is NEEDED to make this game fun.

LEFT THRUST TO COMPENSATE FOR ROTATION! :D

In the first few seconds I lol'd at the fire spewing from the wing

[smeghead666]

Smoothly done :) I like how you disengaged the left elevator to stop it flipping the plane out.

Like folk say a jettison a belly landing mightve been a better idea.

Next time (optimistic :P) try shutting down the left wing pump, can sometimes stop a fire

@97epicman you can also fly with your keyboard if you want but a joystick is more fun and easier to play with.
