Snoopy

Track? I’ve never had this occur

This, I’ve spent a few hours in the realms on and talked to many A-10 pilots over the course of my career and they all say they are constantly trimming the jet.

That’s incorrect we carried the sniper all the time in suites older than 7+ when HMCS was introduced. The A-10C never stopped being able to carry it we just didn’t it. We carried sniper only at Moody until around 2012ish.

Cool, all I know is the units I've been a part of and/or visited the last few years aren't using them (Moody, Whiteman, & DM). And soon you won't get to see it in your back yard at all since they're divesting their A-10s soon IIRC. On the topic of DCS though it isn't going to matter we aren't getting it.

Likely because it's not a plug and play from one airframe to another, even on the real jets. ED does "just enough" to keep the A-10C II viable (how long have we been waiting on the in-cockpit pilot) so I wouldn't expect any additions. Heck we can't even get a simulated gateway to share network information with client Vipers or Hornets (but we can see AI viper & hornet network data last I checked) they're not going to invest the time to develop the Sniper for the A-10C.

That’s incorrect the Sniper pod hasn’t been used regularly in the A-10 community since around 2012. At Moody now and at Whiteman for 2.5 years and I can tell you that isn’t the case at either of these bases.

v303 Fighter squadron Elephant Walk last night before we broke up into our separate flights to knock out student training sorties in B-Course and MQT.

Yes I know bro, I've talked to Nineline multiple times over the years on it. Was simply clarifying your statement on what capabilities should exist for Link-16 and SADL to communicate.

Technically they can through a gateway

Thank you!!

Very nice, will other VFR departures such as A-10 VFR north and west be added eventually?

Well aware of that but doesn’t fix the fact the HAS is to small from what they actually are.

f-4 reference showing the HAS on the western part of Spang are to small. instead of focusing on the A-10 let’s focus on the HAS not being the correct size.

People need to stop focusing on the A-10 and the fact that the HAS on the western part of the airfield are to small. Yes I referenced the A-10 not fitting in my bug report but it is more about the HAS being to small and used the A-10 as a reference.

They didn't build new HASs for the A-10s but thanks for playing LOL Correct and thanks for the picture. Marked as correct as is so guess we're stuck with what we got.

Yeah a quick google earth view and it’s easy to tell which ones are larger

@MAESTR0 Not sure about other bases (haven't checked them yet) but Spang has the incorrect HAS model and can't fit A-10s and you can't set any of the ramp locations for AI A-10s to start from (glad we have a work around for player/client aicraft). They should use the same model as the hotel and india loop at Incirlik AB that A-10s can fit in.

He already said it was reported LOL

Today's update Kandahar AB ILS still missing

Appreciate the update!

Thanks for the clarification. @NineLine and I have talked a lot over the years about what is missing/incorrect. Biggest thing IMO is since we get some data over a "gateway" for AI aircraft (like the F-16C and F/A-18C) at a minimum the same information for client aircraft would be a great first step.

What do you mean is everything there? Those two items you mentioned are still issues but also if you look at the posts I linked above you'll see @BIGNEWY and/or @NineLine basically said updates (aka the gateway) are currently planned.

Based on both of these threads I wouldn't hold my breath for any updates to the A-10C II's network/datalink.
