That is not accurate.
The EPLRS radio doesn't care that it is on the ground and as soon as it is initialized it will try and time into the network. As long as there is line of sight to another SADL player it should work. If pilots don't see their other flight members on SADL prior to taxiing out of the chocks they call maintenance to come and fix the equipment.
Obviously SADL is more complex than the game and there are valid reasons why it might not work until after takeoff, but it is by no means the norm. You should have SADL in chocks while taxiing around.
Already said the same based on first hand real world experience
and @NineLine said he would talk with the team right above your post.

I did a quick test:
Groupmember visible on both TAD as HMCS:
nullnull
It's a weird bug, my last flight it was fine for during launch and the initial portion of the flight but halfway through the flight lost them on HMCS but could still see them on the TAD.

Not sure who is providing that info but that isn't correct. Can't share the actual document due to ITAR but it does work on the ground and we often work redballs (maintenance while the pilot is in the seat during launches) and blueballs (maintenance while the pilot is in the seat during recoveries) specific to the Tactical Data Network issues.

MP last night network setup correctly could see both of my wingmen (clients) fine on the TAD but not in the HMCS. Track was to long to share will try to get a shorter one this week.

News from ED : New units will be available in 2024 that will range from World War II to modern day. Each unit requires thousands of man-hours to create and will be provided as optional packs at their highest levels of detail.
I understand that if I want the new 3D models I will have to pay for it, like for the WWII assets pack? This one shot will become a standard in DCS ?
We're moving towards a game with two levels of modeling...
What can be expext in the future ?
You want a better vegetation : you have to pay for ?
You want nice new buildings : you have to pay for ?
Sorry, and this is my personal opinion, but if confirmed, I'm very disappointed by this kind of policy (even if I totally understand that ED need money to continue the development of our favourite simulation game).I would also think creating two levels of detail for models would be double the work but maybe I’m not understanding how ED is doing this stuff.

Sure hope the save game feature works in MP. Something as “simple” as the mission is saved when the last client exits the server would be great.

ED, just tell me Kuwait is going to be featured (eventually) so I can sleep at night!
Al Jaber AB, Kuwait was a key base post Desert Storm, during the second Iraq War & during Operation Inherent Resolve...if the base is not included in the map that will be a huge mistake IMO.

Wags mentioned in an interview earlier this week they "hope" to update the NTTR map someday to the latest map tech but the map team is busy with other maps. Sorry don't recall the timestamp.

Having flown the real world sim at Moody and Whiteman and talked to multiple pilots over the years even the real jet requires trim often.

I believe you meant, didn't fly "in combat." I seem to recall a few at the end of 2004 flying. The guys still deployed, did not get their upgrade until they got back.
Nope meant what I typed. Guard/reserve could because A-10A+ (plus), AD couldn’t.

Haven’t updated yet but based of this and others posts I’m assuming ED didn’t add the tactical data network (TDN) subpages in the comm page. This would be where network stuff can be updated in the jet.
hopefully it’s gonna happen “soon” otherwise it’ll be an issue for MP groups.

Also you wouldn't take a sergeant fletcher tank into combat because it increases the overall explodyness of the airplane to an unacceptable level.
That's not correct...was tested back in 2013 and it is now an authorized loadout for combat operations. What we have in game isn't sergeant fletcher though so no it wouldn't be used in combat.

But as mentioned the original post isn't a bug its an actual real world limitation.-

Is there a way to set up switches for a clean cockpit in the Mission editor?
Currently, some of the switches are in the correct position prior to start up some or not. I want to have all the switches in the correct off position when I load the mission.
What stitches are not correct, the pit is basically set up on a cold start exactly how I set it up for my pilot when I was crewing the A-10?

From the newsletter "At a later point, we plan to add a second data link option that will be compatible with those other aircraft. Stay tuned!"
Yup but the post you’re quoting is from 4 days before the newsletter. My response when the newsletter hit…

Looking forward to when the gateway is added to the data link network so A-10s on SADL can interact with others aircraft on the other network formerly known as Link 16 ;)! Curious what the new functions for the APKWS are, is it HUD symbology or something else? And any updates to the ARC-210s functionality is awesome (hoping for a surprise second one eventually lol)
Either way love that the A-10C is getting some love!!!

From someone that produces content for film studios, Licensed trademarks and fees the last 5 years have become ridiculous.
You wanna wear a Slurpee or Jurassic Park T-Shirt in a Monetized YT short?, Fork over $10K or Blur it out.
Fun fact, that scene in Jurassic World, where the operator is wearing the original Jurassic Park T-Shirt, cost the production crew $45K in TM License and Art Fees.If Snoopy's happy, we're all happy, as for APKWS, maybe it wasn't Advanced enough or Precise enough..
Suite 10 has some nice symbology that was added to the HUD for laser rockets. I’m gonna assume that’s not was is being updated though.
anytime the A-10 gets some love I’m happy, excited for the eventual “gateway” so we can set up to include formerly known as link16 capable aircraft

I’m assuming “SNS+INS” is referencing EGI Navigation (ENAV)? Wonder if ED can’t use that terminology the same as they can’t use Link16 anymore.

Impacts looking through the TGP as well would be nice at least to have buildings and vegetation appear in the TGP and not magically pop up as you get closer as well.
