Are the complete BIT test sequence planned for Hornet?

This is one area Razbam does great. Their Harrier pilot textures are amazing. Maybe ED can reach out?

My guess is there was an update along the way and the developer of the skin needs to update it.

With patiences, this will complete in a matter of months. Im excited!

I think ED was banking on not much of an A-10 community left, which has proven otherwise in recent days in discussions and rants both here and on their Discord server. Hopefully they “Get on it.”

oh ok cool, thanks!

Nice! Your objects are all over my single player missions for immersion!

Can I use the KC-10 to refuel (Boom)?

I 100% support them and would even be willing to pay more for their products to support the developers, just bummed out when they take the assigned staff off this aircraft project and assign them elsewhere. This aircraft still has a huge community.

Affirm, you must see the runway from circling minimus or must execute a missed approach. Usually you’ll fly to the hold and evaluate if you will divert to alternate. IRL, most of the mi,itary fields have precision approach radar, so they guide you in.

Taz, I’m currently in instrument training right now, so I’m somewhat well versed in this topic. So here is how an ILS works: There are two main components for guidance: the localizer, which provides lateral guidance operating on the 108.1-111.95 MHz range (Every odd tenths). It is somewhat similar to a VOR, except doesn’t have 360 degree radials. The Localizer is positioned on the departure end (Opposite the runway you are landing). The Localizer is only 5 degrees wide, at 700 feet wide at the runway threshold. The localizer is 4 times more sensitive than your standard VOR, which means the needle moves a whole lot faster. The localizer is identifiable out to 18 miles at 10 degrees and 10 miles at 35 degrees. The localizer works on both the landing and departure end, the catch us landing the other end will be a “Localizer back-course approach,” meaning you will get reverse-sensing of the needles. The glideslope is the 2nd guidance component, similar to the localizer, however providing vertical course guidance with a beam 1.4 degrees set at a 3 degree glide slope. It is positioned several hundred feet up and offset from the runway. Unlike the localizer, the GS ONLY works on the approach side. Now there are other components such as the approach lighting system, PAPI/VASI/REIL lights, as well as the runway, touchdown zone, threshold, their makings and lighting as well. Probably more information than what you were looking for, however your question most directly answered like this: (1) Fly the localizer back course approach as a non-precision approach w/ no vertical guidance, or a more popular method for wind situations like you inquired: (2)“Circle-to-land,” which is this: fly the ILS approach to the runway you are not landing in, descending to published circling minimums, which is a MDA (Minimum descent altitude). MDA is usually 400+ higher that the ILS minimums. Minimums: a published altitude which you must make a decision to land or go around…basically you must be is a position to land on intended runway and have at least one of its lighting systems in sight. You must continue until you are in the “Safety area,” typically charted 1.3NMs from the runway, at this point, you enter the visual landing pattern…a typical method is 45 degree turn right for 30 seconds, then left, staying within 1.3 miles the entire time, then turning to land the opposite runway. typically you will not descend until on final approach, as circling minimums only guarantee 300 feet obstacle clearance. I hope this answers your question

Would be cool to get all the NAVAIDS modeled as in real life, however as far as navigation goes in DCS, we usually have displays which provide positive course guidance with the route visible.

Here’s another good one: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314506/

I’m hving this issue as well. Any fixes?

Sounds amazing!

Haven’t made a track file yet, just information only for developers…First, AI A-10C II’s do indeed fly to tanker when I tell them to, however stay plugged in forever until you have them rejoin, apparently without taking any fuel aboard, quickly putting out: “2, bingo fuel!” followed by “2, ejecting!” Next, formation rejoins and maintaining formation. Takes the flight forever to rejoin, have to reduce power significantly and slow to 200-210 IAS for to catch up. Now as underpowered as the A-10 is, when the flight is saddled in formation, I gradually increase throttle to full, next thing I know, the entire flight in 10NM behind me, even though my payload exceeds theirs.

If ILS isn’t working, revert to localizer minimums and fly the published step downs to MDA and descend to runway at the visual descent point as long as you have the runway in sight. I fly these approaches, as well as VOR-A’s in actual IFR conditions irl. There are two DME-Arcs at Incirlik I may try tonight.

On Discord last night Nineline said the A-10C II has only one developer, and he’s been reassigned to one of ED’s many projects. This explains why the A-10C II has received virtually no update for months. Kind of a bummer.

Any updates on this?

They’ve reassigned developers to other projects. Honestly its cool they are doing the Apache, however I think its going to be a dud for them, as most of the community are fixed-wing types. They are overextended, they have crossed the line of upsetting much of their customer base.

"Hawg Leader, you are coming on broken and unreadable!" "This is hawg leader, I am missing a radio!"

Been complete silence on this topic from ED. They said by the end of this year, which is mere weeks away. So..yeah…

It's been CTD central for me since the last update. Been smooth sailing prior without issue.

Been getting a lot of CTDs as well, most current nvidia drivers. My guess, driver related.

I guess you are right! I just wish they were a big more obvious
