Watch out for birds Aircraft: BOMBARDIER INC DHC-8-402 During the approach to land, the flight crew reported a bird strike to the leading edge of the right wing. The crew declared an emergency and made an uneventful landing at their destination. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed a 12-inch-diameter hole in the leading edge of the right wing centered between the right engine nacelle and the right wing tip. The damaged area was covered in bird remains, which were identified as the remains of a Common Loon (Gavia immer). The average weight for the species is about 10.9 pounds.

I thought it did, looking at this picture and at a guess by 2 or 3 inches. I think I will go for the lowered floor myself for an extra bit of comfort.

I've been away from DCS A10 for a long time and thought I would check up on what you guys are upto and get some inspiration in attempt a to build a pit of my own. With your generosity y2kiah of supplying these drawings I might just make it :) THANK YOU :thumbup:

Wow this looks great and thank you for posting. Could you post a small demo video?

Look who's looking back

That’s my point mate, we are all in the same boat. We have all been driven into finically supporting countries and possibly regimes that we don’t believe in. Here in the UK the majority of our airports the BAA one are not owned by us but are solely own by the Spanish company Ferrovial, The UK’s car industry by China and the Indians, Power, water and gas is owned by the French and Germans. Santander (Spanish) controls a huge proportion of the UK’s banking. The frightening thing is that the majority of Brits don’t realise any of this because its not put out in the media. If and when it is it gets a quick clip and the rest is completely off topic. Korea, That’s be careful we don’t all get ‘gung hoe’. We know we have been suckered there before. I for one was all for nuking that bas**rd Sadam after we were going to be attacked by chemical weapons of mass destruction. All this media hype and war ‘games’ crap is just fueling the fire and placing NK on the world stage. Vietnam war. …French having to release there hold on part of their empire due to WW2. Western powers promised to help regain control after war ends…. French get massacred in Dien Bien Phu. The Americans get thrown into a war to fight against communism? Yet the public wasn’t told about the deal with the Vietnamese War Lords, the drugs, the CIA and Air America. Oh and the people we were meant to help are still living in agent orange. No because the war would have probably never got off the ground. Anyone know why we are in Afghanistan? And why the Russians left? Be prepared to be open-minded STOP, LOOK and QUESTION.

LOL stop supporting them then and buying there goods then :megalol:

A few years back he used to sing ‘Keep the Red Flag Flying’ at the party conferences and is now as you say multi millionaire. He changed his faith to become a catholic as soon as he got moved out. I presume he thought it would help his chances to become UK PM if he wasn’t a catholic at the time. Now he’s on first name terms with the Pope (Nice bit of political leverage there) and as for the UN envoy position (as well as many others). No doubt that was a deal struck for his support for the invasion of Iraq (Nice to see that on wikileaks). The EU is hell bent on combining the individual countries military forces to be controlled by the E.U in Brussels. Now just imagine the fun Blair could have with that lot under his disposal if he was to become the LIFE LONG unelected president of Europe (Dictator). Try and get back to topic. We are aware of the troubles in Korea and to tell you the truth it’s beginning to scare the sh*t out of me. The fact is regardless of how effective North Korea weapons are, they are fanatical race. They are also aware that the so-called west still has troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are aware that there has been a gradual build up of ‘discussion’ of a ‘show of force’ on Iran with the Saudi putting pressure on for an attack (and now proven? via the leaks). Israel, which did not really exist until 1948 (a deal set up by WW2 allies) and who have been fighting Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, so never going to be a happy bunch there. The UK amongst others trained the Taliban and the CIA trained old Bin Laden and his crew to help fight the Russians etc. Of course the thousands of tons of weapons and explosives, which ‘the west’ supplied, went to help certain heads of corporations become very wealthy and of course paid by the good old taxpayer who is now broke. Can we honestly do anything or should we do anything about Korea. We had all get our own houses in order and lead by example, not by military force. We do not even bring our own war crime criminals to justice! Weapons off mass destruction my arse. Get used to the idea that communist china is now calling the calling the shots. That’s what we get for taking the eye of the ball and swallowing the bullshit that we are consistently fed. Our track record is full of the benefits of our expertise in interfering. I suppose its all to easy to forget about how we help countries by giving them people like Idi Amin, Gaddafi and good old Sadam in the first place. If we really care about Korea that’s look back and see what history shows us not the manipulators feed us.

Hate or love the leaks one good positive thing that comes out of this is that the public start to question decisions being made for them. Maybe one day the will be accountable for the decisions made in our names. Anyone tell me how Blair became middle east envoy after being accused of war crimes? That's just hope the korea settles down and sence prevails. Anyway how about spending some money on this http://www.deepastronomy.com/apophis-asteroid-could-hit-earth.html. But then I guess it would be hard to make money out of it.

You are right it’s not new but before all was hear say, but for the first time the world is waking up to how it’s being controlled through a minority of very but select individuals. Democracy (which I’m a huge supporter) is being replaced with Plutocracy. Ask the people of Europe who want the European parliament AND YOU WILL FIND VERY FEW. To me that’s not democracy? Blair to become the unelected lifetime president!! So ask who does want it and what do they achieve? When was the last time anyone sat down and watched an interesting unbiased piece of investigated journalism? No we are all being fed propaganda and X factor. It is our right to have a democracy and other counties right to run their countries how they wish and not force our belief upon them by deliberately destabilizing their governments. Freedom of speech is eroding in the name of safety from terrorism and being replaced by the antiterrorism laws and legislations like the Patriot act. Switch of the biased FOX and the BBC news, Switch off X factor, Eastenders and the rest off the brain draining crap and be prepared to make up one own opinions. H Clinton stated with regards to Wikileaks that it portrays our leaders being liars and therefore we are all liars as they represent the public. Man and these are the people who have their fingers on the New Global Order! Sarah Palin thought the North Koreans where the U.S allies. I have not got time to go into the Muppets that represent the UK or the European super state.

Nope nothing and therefore does not bode well for any support. It’s a shame as it looked like a good board but I certainly wont be tempted to purchase now and will stick to what the wizards on this forum seem to be using. The Leo Bodnar boards and then the Opencockpit cards. One thing guaranteed is that the Bodnar is real plug and play and very simple to use and the O/C stuff lets you be creative and there is a huge following and therefore support. I have no programming skills but was able to get through my first attempt of interfacing an O/C USB Servo card with some help on my first cockpit trials. http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/showthread.php/20050-Opencockpits-USB-servo-card/page7

Interesting board. I have just emailed Simmeters for some more info. I will let you know if I get a reply.

Thanks for posting that up I’m sure that will come in very handy. In the meantime I will some how have to find a way of finding the info again when needed.

Great idea :thumbup: I'm sure we all have something we could pool.

Thinking about placing an order myself but can someone tell me what the throttle levers and handles are made from? THKS

Very nice and thanks for sharing. If you have anymore of the day please post them up.

Thank you. It is a great help +1. Please keep it going.

An option to see a pilot is what I would like to see,with the option to remove the control column. For me both are nice to see when giving a demo but other than that often get in the way:pilotfly:

Thanks for the link and reply .....Now I think my brain has now jumped into gear. I was getting hung up on the fact the F16 is racked back to 30Deg which was too much for the A10, but did not realise that its the way the seat is mounted to the airframe and not the angle between the seats base and back:music_whistling:. Great web page you have there by the way. Very useful.

I was thinking about having a go at building a Simhangar' ACES2 seat, possibly starting this weekend. However I'm struggling to find a comparison between the F16 and the A-10 version. Can anyone point me in the right direction or know what angle the A10 seat sits at? Thanks

Brilliant !!! Thank you.

Just found in a old Flight manual, Diagram A2-31 shows that it is possible to have a max N1 of 85% on this A/C. I stand corrected :doh: Well done DCS :worthy:

Doubt what you want matey but N1=Fan Speed N2= Core speed.:smartass:

For what its worth I am an A/C Engineer and fully agree with you :thumbup: 96% Max cont thrust. Take off approx 97% depending on Airfield temp, Alt and engine condition etc is a good ball park figure. Therefore 85% N1, firewalled can not be correct. 85% N2 for bleed air cross starts maybe?
