Currently, there are three F10 map options that you can select: Map, Altitude, and Satellite. It would be nice to have a fourth, 'blank' option that just sets a black or gray background. In some situations, this would make it easier to see units.

The brightness control knob for the AoA Index and Refule Status Indicator is not working. It is on the Auxiliary Lighting Control Panel.

oh lol yeah i will move this to bugs

From what I remember if I tried starting without turning the inverter on the igniters would not be powered and the engines would be flooded with fuel. If I tried restarting without motoring it would not work. Now it seems you don't have to motor them anymore you can just restart. I am remembering wrong or did they change it?

That makes sense. Thank you

roger, thx

On some planes in DCS you can connect a ground air supply unit. On the A-10 you can't. Is this a bug or is it not possible for the A-10 in real life?

When doing a motor start in the A-10, at what point should fuel be introduced? Is there a specific N2 speed? Thanks

According to the dash 1, momentarily placing the ENG OPER switch into the IGN position will activate the igniters for 30 seconds. But according to the DCS A-10CII Manual, holing the switch in the IGN position activates the igniters. Does anyone know if the way it is modeled in DCS is that you have to hold it, or if the 30 second thing really is modeled and the manual is just not descriptive enough?

I understand now. Thank you for helping me!

Thank you for responding. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly about the bleed air. I'm not sure what you meant when you said leaving the bleed air valves open will cause drag. Do you mean that by leaving the bleed air valves open you are basically letting the bleed air system steal air that could be used for starting? If you could elaborate on that I would really appreciate it.

A noticed that during a windmill start the manual advises you to turn off the bleed air switch and enable the cross feed. What exactly is the purpose of doing these two steps? If someone could explain it to me that would be awesome. Thanks!

In the dev screenshots, there are some pictures where the apache pilots are wearing uniforms with MultiCam camouflage, and there are some pictures where the pilots are wearing uniforms with UCP (Universal Camouflage Pattern) camo. Will we be able to select which camo we want to pilots have? If so, will we be able to do this on release? If not, which camo will the pilots have on release?

There is a CDU page where you can adjust settings for the OWS, but the OWS itself is not modeled. Will it ever be implemented?
