I think a major issue with stalls isn't whether we stall at the right speeds but what happens during a stall. Right now in DCS in a stall during a turn the aircraft pretty much spirals out of control with massive wing dip. This might be in conflict with the real aircraft given this excerpt from the flight manual:

A-10C UHF is powered by DC power, while the two VHFs require AC power. That would be me first thing to check.

I think it looks right, but I think we should standardize the scenario so we can replicate the results across different variables to rule out external factors.

Yep! If you let the throttle rest she'l droop on you, but if you constantly adjust then you instinctively adjust to a new average without even realizing it.

If you want CDU and TAD help, you can PM me and we can chat on IRC or TS. Air refueling is easier with good axis curves, and patience, and being able to relax. Most importantly is throttle control. When I'm refueling my throttle is constantly adjusting.

The A-10A chart I'm looking at is is a four way guide titled "Level Flight Maximum Speed Maximum Thrust" located at 1A-10A-1-1 A6-8 Figure A6-1 where you start from gross weight, move right to the altitude, go down the line to the drag index, and from there left to a final deviation from something called "Standard day" temperature, which gives you the final expected airspeed. So all I'm missing from your description is the airplane's gross weight in thousands of pounds.

Best as I can tell, unless scripted otherwise, JTAC will choose its recommended weapon not based on anything dynamic such as weather, visibility, or target types, but rather some sort of pre-built priority table that has cluster bombs on a high priority all the way down to guns being the lowest priority.

One issue might be the wrong grid (38T vs. 37T) Another issue is that the numbers have to be even, not odd. So for example, MM123451234 won't work because there's 9 digits, and its expecting 8 or 10. Just for testing, put in two digits. It autofills zeroes to 10 digit, so MM12 ---> MM 10000 20000 Hope that helps!

Other people have answered most of these. 3. You need to fire the Maverick inside an area called the keyhole for it to hit. 4 & 5. You can adjust the NVG brightness to balance the brightness of the interior with the darkness of the exterior. 6. After landing the CICU automaticaly syncs the CICU and CDU data with the DTS cartridge through a function called 'DTS Upload.' Because of the way the aircraft memory works while the information is being read by the DTS system the navigation data is unavailable, which means the airplane doesn't have its location, which triggers a NAV caution, which is what triggers the master caution.

That second one is incorrect. You can type in a letter and number combination.

I just wanted a quick baseline check to see if my tests were even in the ballpark. Since they're not I'm gonna assume for now my testing is wrong and I'm hoping someone can help establish a proper scenario for baseline, which takes not only the pylons into account but also temperature and pressure.

The chart takes weight into account. The aerodynamics should be close enough.

I dug up the maximum thrust maximum speed level flight chart from the A-10A manual which cites its source as flight tests from 1982. For a point of comparison I started DCS A-10C in the black sea air start map, climbed to angels 20, and turned so the wind is at my back, dropped all ordinances, and went full throttle and let it fly. I got to 242 IAS knots. According to the chart, at 40k lbs, at 20k feet altitude, drag index 0, I should be getting around 270 IAS knots, with a range of 250 to 285 depending on temperature variance. I concede I am not an expert in these matters, so with all likelihood I am not doing the measurements correctly. I would appreciate any guidance for how to preform the tests accurately so we can compare results to the flight data properly.

If we knew or could get some feedback as to what information is needed to adjust the engine model, it would help a lot. I'm sure even if not all the data is available a lot of it can be inferred through secondary means and be in the right ballpark.

From this conversation with a real A-10C pilot, he felt the DCS A-10 engines are indeed underpowered. I know it's not as helpful as raw data/numbers, but I feel it vindicates that we're on the right track with this discussion.

Deleting the Radio Height and Radio Width would have done the job, but I'm glad you got it fixed!

Well so much for that. The data and suggestions were dismissed out of hand, and when I asked what sort of data would be sufficient to not be dismissed, my post was deleted and the thread locked. I hope we have better luck next time.

I'd like to clarify, I'm not saying the FM is wrong because I saw it in a video, I'm saying it's wrong because an A-10C pilot said so, and I explained why I believe him. If the FM is wrong, then the data to explain how it is wrong is out there, and if we're opening up performance data as it relates to the engine, performance data as it relates to AoA stall parameters should be there too, and I'm drawing attention to it so someone who can explain it better can give the numbers needed to hopefully allow ED to fix it.

It's not just his statement, but also from videos I've seen on Youtube of cockpit cams inside the A-10, it's fairly clear that they can pull back on the stick and turn very tightly, and in DCS trying to do the same thing will get you stalling and cause the wings to drop. I know it's very difficult to tune very precise aerodynamic formulas to adjust to something which comes down to a gut feeling, but I was hoping to bring this up so someone who knows a lot more about aerodynamics than me could find the way to describe the discrepancy mathematically.

Found an issue with the overlay. If you drag it to the top of the screen it tries to force it into a horizontal layout, which causes most of it to be cut off. The only way I found to undo it is to delete the height and width radio settings in the registry. There should be something to lock the overlay's width height ratio, it might also prevent the triple monitor bug.

Based on my discussion with a real life A-10C pilot: From the r/hoggit A-10C pilot AMA.

It is also my understanding, while we're at it, that the A-10 stalls too quickly, and in reality can give you a bit more AOA than DCS simulates.

Having issues with the new standalone version 1.1.4, flying in multiplayer, hopped into A-10C, but the Overlay continues to behave like I'm a spectator. (shows frequency 1s with guard, and manual tuning is vailable only.) I tried uninstalling DCS-SRS, and reinstalling it.

How about adding to that list sound that plays briefly before and after every radio transmission? Check this out for an example of how it sounds in real life: [ame] [/ame] Also, what about preventing people from talking over each other? Some sort of feedback or beep or something like that?

More pro tip: You don't have to bind it. It's already bound by default. LCtrl + Lwin + keyboard/numpad keys
