Guide for DCS A-10A and C models for flight planning purposes: take-off, climb, cruise, descent and landing.

The following checklist is a modified, condensed version of the procedures presented in Section II and III of the F-86F Flight Handbook, as published 10 October 1957.  It is designed to reflect the procedures found and available to the Belsimtek F-86F Sabre and arranged so you may print it and insert it in to a plastic sleeved flip pad for convenient use.

Instructions:  Print two pages per sheet, single sided.  Cut page in half.  Fits entirely in to a Staples 5.5" by 8.5" bound sheet protector (or similar).  Consumes 10 double sided sleeves.

Version 1.00:  Initial release, emphasizing cockpit flow.

Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

So you have a crappy PC just like me? Worry not. Use those downscaled textures to skyrocket your framerate (or not).
All 4K textures are scaled down to 2K, and "unnecessary" stuff like M4 (forgive me ;-;) and seats are downscaled to 1K. Can be used with "Low" texture setting.

With many users unhappy with the bad performance of latest versions of DCS World and the very steep requirements for hardware, questions have now been arising on how to install previous versions of DCS.

This package provides the necessary files to easily (and separately) download and install DCS 2.5.6 (its final Stable release 2.5.6.61527.3, March 5th 2021) from ED's official servers. Just follow the instructions provided with the download package.

Useful for calculating the Drag Index, Aircraft weight and position of the Center of Gravity (% MAC).

In order to complete these forms, some data from my SPOC (Stores Page-Ordenance Codes) document are required. You can find it here:

** FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION ONLY **

Standard cockpit textures downscaled from 4K to 2K. I've also removed all mipmaps from them, so those textures should retain quality even on low texture quality setting. I did like zero extra-editing because everything seems to be readable already. Extract "A-10C-2020-CPT" folder into your "Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\" and then select "Factory_new_reduced" option in A-10C II's special options.

This mod version works with DCS World 2.5.6, from version 2.5.6.50321 up to 2.5.6.61527.3 (the final release of 2.5.6, before 2.7).

This is a modification to slightly improve graphics performance with no noticeable image quality loss, and no issues with slow loading of missions.
It works perfect for regular screen monitors, and also absolutely fine in VR.

This mod is also IC compliant for Multiplayer (no issues whatsoever in Online MP).

PLEASE NOTE: this mod will NOT work with the newer 2.7.x version of DCS. For that one, please look into my other files (click in my user name).

This mod was made compatible with DCS version 2.7.11.21408.1 (latest OpenBeta as of 17th March 2022).
It may or may not work with future versions (will be updated whenever possible).

This is a modification to slightly improve performance with no noticeable image quality loss, and no issues with slow loading of missions (same as original!).

Version 2.3 corrected a problem with latest OpenBeta, where the game would crash (due to missing bloom parameters) - NOW FIXED!
Version 2.31 improves performance a tiny bit more, with few more changes in bloom parameters.

PLEASE NOTE: this mod will NOT work with the older 2.5.6 version of DCS. For that one, please look into my other files (click in my user name).
