    Twigster's intro

    Hey guys, just wanted to do a quick intro to myself and say hello. I'm relatively new to DCS A-10C but in a short time I've come a long way thanks to a few people. I'd say that I'm proficient with targeting, basic flying and using mavericks and guided bombs but still have work to do with the CDU and unguided or GPS guided bombs. Oh and I've managed to refuel a couple of times too. Anyway, hope to meet you all in a server soon and hopefully get to fly with you!
    Matt.

    No worries. I'm a happily married 34 year old with two great daughters aged 8 and 5. From the age of 4 until I was 20 I raced motocross to a pretty high level, since then I've gone back to playing rugby and dabbled with American Football a bit too, but I called time on my playing days at the end of this season after discovering it now takes nearly three days to recover properly! I'm a CAD monkey by trade so pretty much anything even slightly techie gets my attention, I'm pretty outgoing, love a good laugh and I've been known to be partial to the odd beer or two as well!!

    My background in sims goes all the way back to microprose grand prix in the early 90's, since then I've been a huge fan of pretty much everything you can think of be it either racing, flight or even the space stuff like wing commander or freespace. I took an enforced break fromthe heavy sims when the kids were born, so haven't done much flight since Combat flight sim 2 or Il-2 was released but now they are older and I have some free time again I've been able to indugle myself some more and DCS has (so far) been exactly what I was hoping to find! For me though, it's not something that is best played alone. When I have joined servers where people have TS etc it's far more immersive and you learn far quicker when playing with people who know what they are doing. So after browsing the ED forums for the last few weeks, here I am!

    Edit: I have a HOTAS Warthog and I use my Fanatec clubsport pedals for rudder, they work prety well for A-10C and for FC3 but I will be getting some proper rudder pedals before I look at moving into KA-50 or the Huey.
