A10Yoda

I am putting together what I believe is the issue. But so far putting together the track has been a little slow due to life obligations. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I tried answering this a couple ways yesterday and they all ended up confusing and extremely lengthy. I think it will be easiest to put together a track. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

9line can you have him look into weapon and pylon drag. Several former A10 drivers including myself think there are some issues there. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

My assumption is longevity as they are strictly a monitor and do not have other conflicting software.. Additionally they are plug and play ready as an additional screen and only require a tweak to .lua file to setup. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

With 13 years between the last time I flew the A10 I cannot say the engine performance is off. However if Habu is currently flying it I would easily take his word on it. The drag issue in my opinion seems to be a little more where I would ask them to focus their attention as that could matter for several of their flight modules..

If you look at my earliest comments here, that has been my belief as well..Strange a former A10 pilot would notice things like that...which seems counter to some of the other comments. [emoji631] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

If you fly 2.5 beta I can assist you.. Without a track it could be hard for us to tell.. - A few things to check through: - Master arm is ARMED - Weapon is selected - Weapon profile is set to release in CCRP not just the hud cycled to CCRP Mode - A SPI is set Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Well thinner air at higher altitude equates to less volume of lift per square inch.. Engines work in that exact same way as it equates to less volume of air being pushed by the engine to create thrust. DCS does have altitude engine performance modeled and I would assume airframe lift at altitude as well. ..and again, as a former A10 pilot, what DCS has modeled in my earnest opinion seems accurate. I have only a few years (260 flight hours) on the A10 so I would believe a more tenure pilot observations than mine. My only complaint has been with known loadouts to what I was equipped in the past and DCS do not match up in my opinion and believed it to be an issue of drag but it's only a thought and I may be inaccurate. ...again, this is a VIDEO GAME and while I understand the topic of being accurate matters, it will never ever be exact..because it just can't. My complaint here has been with some of the people adding information is that they are speaking to what trained military pilots can or can't attest to when they have not one single understanding of what real training consists of. The A10 has a climb rate, roll rate, etc which is limited by it's flight abilities. That said, pilots have found clever known ways to increase some of those numbers by manipulating the aircraft's control surfaces, an example of being air brakes to increase roll rate. Yes there are current and former pilots that will engage in hyperbole and exaggerating the aircrafts performance abilities but generally as a norm pilots in the larger percentage are very accurate on the abilities of the airframe. The only addition I would like to see with the A10 is a higher resolution cockpit which apparently is coming and flexing of her wings under stress for immersion. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

This is correct.. The way we train is based off DATA of the aircraft and it's limitations. Watch Mover explain BFM (Basic Flight Manuevers) and how he is calling out speeds and G readout of turn to new heading.. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I was hoping they wouldn't renew the program. I wouldn't mind volunteering to fly a civilian version at Air Shows.. [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

..because your reading comprehension is horrendous and your statements are inaccurate. Pilots are trained observers and docmenter's. Pilots are trained in manuevers using velocity benchmarks that relate to turns for lead, exact and lag pursuits. The point you are missing is that knowledge does not generally go away and depending on their flight time, some more experienced pilots can rattle off those numbers in their sleep. The reason they can do this is because they have the data in front of them in the form of instruments. All they have to do is read and recall the data, which they absorb over time. Some minor details do deteriorate over time but however it translates where a pilot tries to pull the exact 3g turn at 250 kts and gets a different outcome in DCS than when in reality. I honestly have not had that problem as I stated early in this thread buy I have seen where with some loadouts I believed drag on the pylons and mounted payload was too high as it was bleeding energy in an inaccurate way to real life. The reason I feel that way is because I recreated a previous flight where loadout and weight was known and the simulated aircraft underperformed to the real life scenario. So when a pilot states something feels inaccurate it very well could be because he/she is basing that belief of recalled data from repetitious manuevers and loadouts and not just some physiological response.

You're explaining what a pilot does to a former pilot? You're that guy.. Please continue.. Sorry I told you you were wrong about pilots observing flight DATA and recalling that information as part of their feeling that it is accurate.. By all means..please continue..

Excellent post.. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

This is horribly inaccurate.. We are checking instruments at all times during flight relative to dive angles, entry and exit to turns, egress, climb rate, hack times, G meters, etc. The feeling comes where all that information feels accurate from DCS to memory. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I know the feeling lol.. My time was "limited" and I would rely on a more seasoned pilot that didn't have an almost 14 year gap on recollection. However, the A10's performance is similar enough to me (as stated in replies above). I am not sure you will ever exactly get it correct as the A10C has not been retired and fully unclassified. DCS is working with knowledge best at hand and there are a multitude of other factors like dynamic real life weather conditions, fuel grade, mechanical issues, human error..etc.. There are some things I would love to see added as upgrades to the A10 but what we have already is so good it feels needy to even ask.. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

..and all real pilots know every checklist is ALWAYS followed to a T. I stand corrected internet expert.. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Run up full thrust with brakes on and do not lower flaps to takeoff position until 140 knotts.. You're welcome.. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Uhhh..no.. full payload takeoff speed is going to be around 155 knots or more.. Kinda has been and will continue to be. 125 knotts will allow you to rotate if you are light on fuel, ammo and payload. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Accurate.. If you are given the green light to hit a target with the 30mike, you hit the target with the 30. In a lot of situations it is meant to disable the target not always destroy. That said, from incidents before my time (sounds like yours), the 30mm was used in dire situations and unfortunately ended in FF. I believe it probably is the highest FF % in combat if not mistaken...and that is sometimes do to glancing rounds off armor close to friendlies.. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Centerline is not as affected as pylons on the wings. My comments are accurate and my point is weight on wings causes stress fractures which equates to $. The practice is rare.. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
