DCS A-10C Trim system and MRFCS guide (Part 1)

Update: Part 2 is forthcoming, however I'm waiting for either the next beta or a strategy for making it since some MRFCS in flight functions are still being worked on. Stay tuned!

Part 1 of this video shows you how to use the trim and manual reversion flight control systems in the DCS A-10C beta. Keep in mind that this is beta software and subject to change, but I was impressed by how closely the way it works in the game matches the way it's described to work for real. I figured other DCS players could benefit from my experimenting with this.

Recorded with DCS A-10C beta 1 (prepurchase). You can prepurchase and gain beta access at http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com .

I was going to make a bunch of links, but the below wikipedia entry has most of the backinfo to the concepts described here, in case you're new to flight sims or aviation related topics:

Feel free to suggest what you would like me to cover next. Thanks for watching.

Good stuff. Keep it up!

It's kinda like a second source of producer notes.

@einarst Appreciate the feedback. Just keep in mind I am not trying to replace the producers here, just share my findings while playing, and hopefully turn more players on to the "study sim" genre.

nice vid... how about a start up? I know there is a producer note about it and a training lesson (which is not working for me cause a button hidden by throttles doesnt seem to work) but I like your style.
