Open A-10C

[Snoopy]

I guess one of my questions, is what would upgrading the suite really do for us as flight sim pilots?

 

I think the scepticsm is because most here have no idea what is missing from the current suite modeled in DCS or what is offered in later suites. But I can promise you I have lots of ideas what upgraded suites would offer a pilot, and that isn't even taking into account HMCS.

Like they did with Blackshark 2 right?

 

Exactly dcs 2.0 would be the perfect platform to bring a a10c 2.0. They did it with the shark which was great sure we would like some better night capabilities. A10c suite upgrade only makes sense especially when paired with the f18c when it comes out.

Yup I can't believe people actually have that attitude of what would a suite upgrade bring anyway. It's ridiculous how much more Effective the a10c is with a more current suite. It would bring about much more advanced training and domination of the air ground aspect.

Is there any official non-secret document about differencies and effectivness?

I'll let snoopy answer that, but in mean time if you google a10c capabilities brief you will find a open to public brief.

 

Not the much up to date but gives you a good idea and it's a unclass brief

So many mission oportunities left out :huh:

I'd take updated TAD for few bucks.

[rcjonessnp175]

Amen

[cichlidfan]

I would agree, only when the avionics coding folks have nothing left to fix in any existing modules.

Interesting topic. Certainly an upgrade to the A-10C will revamp this awesome machine and gives us more to squeeze from our initial investment. Obviously, I like this if it doesn't stop the development pace of current and future modules

I second that DCS 2.0 will be a great opportunity for an avionics upgrade

That's the best you'll get publicly.

I'd rather have DCS A-10A :), but thats just me...

I'd be happy with that as well :D

 

But even that leads to the same discussion. For example, the external model in DCS for the current A model has antennas that don't match the avionics in the cockpit (a bug I submitted when I was still a tester).
