v303rd Fighter Group, v303rd Fighter Squadron

Please make it so we can save HMCS settings when “preparing mission” similar to the radios. also to avoid confusion I’d suggest removing items such as air hostile, suspect, and neural (and other items) from the list if they aren’t going to be added.

We fly without ballasts at Whiteman. Every other squadron I’ve been in we always installed them when gun was empty.

That isn’t correct, C and A models have the same exact engines and performance. You can’t use the demo bird as proof…not only does it have items removed (like pylons) it also flies with the minimum fuel load.

No issues on my side with any A-10 presets

Wouldn’t call it a bug so much as leftover from when the A-10C was it’s own product. would be nice it it was updated to mirror more recent modules though.

The ED model of the RSC has been there since the II was released

We "know" from the 3d model that we are getting the ARC-210 radio set control (rsc) panel in the cockpit. This is what I'm hoping the ARC-210 also includes: 1. MFCD Comm page / ARC-210 Presets pages 2. MFCD DTS Upload "LOAD ARC-210" button (although honestly without a mission planner/DTC builder this isn't useful) 3. Control of the ARC-210 via the UFC 4. HUD displays ARC-210 configuration/status

Yes but it does have an ARC-210 PRESETS page that we hopefully will get.

UFC integration ties it to the HUD

During the day you don’t need to adjust any switches to see the repeater or clock at full brightness.

Actually the default color in DCS is almost a perfect match to the real color on the jet.

Color is the same for day & night.

So same exact response paying costumers have heard for over a year with ZERO actual updates or information.

So based on your responses all we are getting for the A-10C 2 is the radio and maybe some bug fixes? is ALQ-184 long and additional TAD symbology not gonna happen?

We’ve been hearing this for a year and at this point it’s a blatant slap in the face to paying customers. Basically the A-10C has zero priority and we shouldn’t expect anything anytime soon.

I have not but it’s in my “to do” list

Appears to be the case but I’m sure we’ll eventually get the same post we’ve gotten for over a year… ”when the programmer has time they’ll get back to the A-10C v2” ignoring it was released over 1.5 years ago with little updates or bug fixes and zero additions of promised features such as the ARC-210 or long 184.

Year or so ago ED said they were going to add some symbology/features to the TAD as part of the A-10ac v2 upgrade but it’s been super quiet on the subject (and any other bug fixes or planned features such as the long 184, ARC-210, missing HMCS symbology (I.e. what shows for AI Hornets and Vipers isn’t the same as clients) and based on comments from Nineline I don’t expect any of the actual missing HMCS symbology to be added).

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.

That was for A models not C models and for the Mav screen.

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

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.

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
