  1. Even on the real jets nose illumination on bright isn’t that bright and wearing NVGs for night air refueling is the norm now days not the exception.
  2. That was for A models not C models and for the Mav screen.
  3. Classified isn’t an actually “informational category” in the DoD anymore. Could spend hours explaining export controls and DoD information classification but everyone would fall asleep before they reached the halfway point. lol
  4. Classified isn’t the correct terminology but everything, including what we have now, is secret. It’s just a matter of what ED has been allowed to add. I’m overly critical of ED at times but understand these limitations. What frustrates me is when communication isn’t clear or it is ambiguous. That being said I for sure can’t understand why something like threat rings are okay in one module but not another. Only thing I can think is the A-10C (v1 and v2) are direct results of DoD contracts which likely have clauses specific to the consumer product where as the Hornet, Viper, and Apache (to my knowledge anyways) are not.

    ALQ-184 Long

    I’ve only seen the ALQ-184 long on A-10s at Moody and Whiteman over the last 10 plus years. Not exactly sure when we transitioned from the short pod though. We carried the short version at Moody and Osan in the mid/late 90s
  6. ha ha ha okay if you say so. So it’s okay they have one for the Hornet, Viper, and Apache but not for the A-10C v2…and the A-10C v2 hasn’t had a meaningful update or bug fixes for over a year. we don’t need an unofficial roadmap/faq we want a statement on what is planned for the module from ED.
  7. Like I’ve said a few times….a roadmap thread would likely reduce most of these type of threads. I guess as long as the DM folks are happy with what they’ve gotten from their contract we’re just out of luck.
  8. it does encryption without needing the Ky-58, you can change presets/freqs through the UFC, and depending on what ED decides to code “when a programmer becomes free” we may have two radios managed by one head unit.
  9. Maybe an official statement in a newsletter or a roadmap thread on what is still planned when “a programmer becomes available” would stop all the complaining and questions or at least provide a location for those with issues could be pointed to. Otherwise all we’ve gotten for almost a year is the same statement you posted above. Which to be honest is basically a slap in the face for paying customers who expected at least some development movement on a product they purchased.
  10. Actually we connect the bag to the cord (with Velcro straps or metal clips depending on the bag type) so It doesn’t move around excessively.
  11. ED considered the original A-10C feature complete years ago. That being said the TAD never had all the features the real suite 3 or 5 had. version 2 of the A-10C is missing even more TAD functionality, HUD symbology, TGP symbology, the HMCS is missing lots of symbology as well. Unfortunately we won’t get any of that and I’m not holding my breath for the ARC-210 or long ECM pod in 2022.
  12. Nice….that’s been a big for a long time
  13. Even just a small mention in a newsletter would be appreciated….the impression right now is development has been stopped/abandoned.
  14. Couldn’t say I’m not an ED employee but I personally I don’t expect it.
  15. I have…it’s the blank button to the left of the back button on the CDU. Your comment about it not being added to the original A-10C…I don’t recall what suite number it was added but it wasn’t possible with early suite A-10Cs.
  16. That’s a good question….based on my interpretation of the “discussion” with Nineline basically when it comes to the A-10C v2 if the paying customer (aka DM contract) doesn’t ask for something don’t talk about it if you have first hand knowledge and don’t expect it in the sim.
  17. I could explain it but I was recently told by Nineline that even just posting knowledge that is from tech orders with export controls breaks the forum rule so I can no longer share that stuff. Aka if y’all can’t find it on “Google” it can’t be explained/shared by people with real world, first hand experience/knowledge.
  18. To be fair any updates to the TGP we’re never announces as part of v2. adding TAD symbology was though so hope that doesn’t change/disappear.
  19. It’s missing much more than that.
  20. Real world the HMCS monocle goes over the pilots dominate eye.
