SPI and Mark Points in TGP?

[SageOT]

So this latest video: https://www.funker530.com/a-10-warthogs-and-ac-130-kill-frenzy-116-isis-trucks-destroyed/

 

 

Looks like a broadcast SPI and markpoints like we see in game on the TAD, but in the TGP... Is this something newer A10's have now...? Seems pretty cool.

In DCS also your TGP (not only TAD) can be your SPI generator (and you can broadcast it) and when your TGP is SOI the mark point will be created on what's intersecting the TGP LOS.

 

Cool indeed :thumbup:

There's two possible answers here.

 

A) It's on the newer suite jets and therefore not modelled in the DCS module.

B) It was not approved by the government/Fairchild/various legal bodies for simulation. Some elements are not in the sim due to legal limitations.

This is actually very useful for those that don't know - This allows more accurate marking of a target when being acquired (Mainly from shallower angles). This is because when the laser is not being employed, the actual point being marked is where the line of sight hits the ground behind the target. (New users often find this phenomenon to cause bombs to fall long on targets.) If you use the laser the point will be on the actual target itself.

If only DCS had explosions like that.....

I answered slightly off topic sorry about that :music_whistling:

We were just talking about that in my group. Those secondaries.... man.

 

Figured it was a newer sensor suite, just thought it was... sweet. See what I did there... :)

Suite 8 and latest litening pods.

[SageOT]

I'm sure it's in the manual somewhere but I've missed it. What suite is modeled in the DCS A-10C?

 

EDIT: Never mind. Found one of your old posts Snoopy. Suite 3....

 

And, when can we get suite 8 in 2.0. :) j/k

 

Thanks for the responses.
