Unfortunately things like this (and pilot animation) don't appear to be on EDs list of things to implement. I had hoped they would with the Hornet but so far movement is just slightly better than the A-10C pilot. Heatblur had the pilot movement down and although I have my gripes with RAZBAM at least you can actually have NVGs on the pilot at night.
Lights only work during certain times of the evening. I don’t remember what time they turn on but IIRC they won’t be on if the mission time is after 0600 even if it’s dark out still.
I highly doubt ED would allow a 3rd party to create a later suite A-10C because it would directly cut into any sales of the current module.
We won’t get into the argument on what does what better all I’ll say is in the two or three times the Hornet will have to go hit the tanker the A-10C will still be engaging targets and hasn’t gone to the tanker once yet.
Unfortunate? Between the Turkish F-16s on alert, our A-10s, Qatar Mirages, Saudi F-15s, KC-135s, AC-130s, and Marine EA-6s there was no room on our side for the Tornadoes.
Hahahahahahaha thanks for reminding me that pilots wear helmets, I use to strap them into an ACES II almost daily. ;)
But to your question, I did not ED asked for the sound raw and thats what I sent them. But as someone who has ran APU and engines with the canopy opened and closed even with double hearing protection the APU is louder than the engines.0
You can’t hear the starter on an A-10C when starting engines. The sound has never been correct in dCS for the A-10C (and A) when staring engines. We have a very definitive low bass sound when ignition kicks off. Otherwise all you hear is the APU under a load.
We marshaled them so they were facing away from the doors then pushed them back into the HAS with a tow vehicle which is what we are doing in the second picture in the hotel/India images.
fixed this for you. I would leave a suite 7 plus with HMCS and it include all the symbology that can appear on the TAD and HMCS. I’ve got a handful of other things that are wrong on the current version I’d like to see fixed but the A-10C, at least appears to be anyways, ED’s lowest priority module.
Important wishes:
-Chocks - agree
Other minor wishes:
-External air for starting - why we NEVER use external air to start up
-Enhanced pilod movement (as F-14 does) - good luck, none of EDs modules have head movement like the 14
-Ability for hyd pump engagement on ground (for ground checks) - ground checks with pilots is never done with APG hydraulic power or hydraulic test stands. Only with engines running prior to lunch
-Raindrops. - should be part of the updated cockpit and external model.
I know the reason for this from Airfield Management direction but unfortunately it’s sensitive and can’t be shared. But it’s an operational requirement for the HASs at Incirlik.
