Looks like you are correct. The transition to a flat surface aft of the cockpit identifies it.

If you want near-DCS level switchology in a 747 and other large aircraft, look up PMDG for FSX. They have some excellent products, and they are doing more smaller aircraft as well. They have had a Jetstream 41 out for a while (I have this plane, great for flipping switches), and they are still working on a Dash8. If you want to take it further, there is another company called FS2Crew that makes voice-recognition software that simulates a first-officer. They have most of PMDG's planes covered, as well as planes from other companies.

I was hoping for this guy::music_whistling:

I know, the bada$$ery will be overwhelming. Now if only Glowing Amraam will release his friggen' video!:mad: JK, take your time, GA. I feel that the longer it takes, the better it will be!:D

My guess: the vertical tail from a Vietnam-era single-engine jet, used by the USAF. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what plane!

I know exactly how you feel, man. I had the same deal here. I got as far as my solo cross-country, then a little thing called "higher education" stepped in and took all my money!:D But that's why we have high-fidelity simulators like DCS, right?:pilotfly:

Just to add to the Blackbird side of things here, the engineers at Lockheed took an ASG-18 radar by Westinghouse, a GAR-9 missile developed by Hughes, and added their own fire control system. The result: They hit a remote control B-47 at 1,200 feet, while the launching Blackbird was at 75,000 feet and 80 miles away! In 1965! All in all the system scored a hit on twelve out of thirteen attempts. All to prove a point. The system was never really ordered, it was just a show of how vulernable the F-111 (then still the TFX) was to a look-down, shoot-down system. On a slightly different topic, I don't think anyone really knows the top speed of the Blackbird. The faster it went, the more power it generated, because of greater compression, and the more power it generated, in an infinite (almost) loop.

1)Negative 2)Only Wags knows 3)^^see above 4a)From what I read, DX11 is backwards compatible, so yes it will play on DX9. 4b)I have no idea.:)

Is that from a game, Blaze?

That one took me a minute!:D

His parachute has him floating down nose first? Did something break on it or is that how it's supposed to go?:huh:

I recently e-mailed a local air museum with an A-10, and asked them the part numbers of various instruments. They replied, and said they would have the information within a week.

If it turns out to be anything good, I'll be interested. But it does look like it might be console-oriented.:puke:If it is I'll stick with FSX. Now that I think about it, FSX ought to run real well on a rig with specs to run DCS:WH.:thumbup:

I believe the LITENING TGP has the ability to track other airborne targets. I have no idea if this translates into calculating a pipper. Maybe we can slew the AIM-9 seeker to the pod line of sight? Any of the devs care to answer?

1.I don't think those are bomblet casings in the first picture, I think they are cargo pods. That makes sense given that the plane is in a ferry configuration with tanks, but I may be mistaken. 2.Yes, you do see training rounds. Pretty much anything that's blue is inert. 3.That's a LITENING pod on the left wing. You can see an ECM pod and LITENING right next to each other in the third pic. 4.You are correct. Those are countermeasure dispensers on the landing gear fairings. The similar-looking devices at the wingtips are also dispensers.

Epicness!

Here's mine.

I like the MiG-29 in digital camo. But what's with the guy in the camo underwear?

The joke is that the A-10 goes so slow that it can suffer a birdstrike from behind.

An A-10 getting a birdstrike on a forward-facing surface? How is that possible?:huh::D

The bear even looks like he's smiling! :lol:

The centerline can carry a Triple Ejector Rack. The TER can mount any Mk80 LDGP bomb, including the GBU-12. The GBU-12 can also mount directly to station 6, but that is less common. If it counts at all, a personal effects/cargo pod can also go on the center. Source: The Modern Hog Guide
