Second video of the series showing basic radar Operation:

Far as I understand it, the INS is simply an alignment system the AC uses to coordinate the GPS with the AC nav system - so the satellites know your current location at ramp start thus knowing where you are during flight which gives the Nav mode your current location at all times. All you do in the pit is turn it on and wait for the alignment to complete before moving/taxiing the AC.

 

In the F-16C block 50 models it takes about 7-8 minutes to align. You have the INS alignment implemented in the A10C as well - just sit and wait, don't move the AC, until INS is aligned and calibrated.

 

Not much to do to implement the INS except to turn it on and wait.

 

Good day,

INS stands for "Inertial Navigation System".

 

Prime source of position is NOT the GPS, but "Inertial references" which most often consist of ringlasergyros and accelerometers.

 

The IRS' will drift over time, thus GPS is used to update current position.

Another way of updating the INS position is via DME updates using known VOR/DME or DME stations.

 

In aviation GPS is most often not used as prime navigation source. The reason is that f.ex the GPS system is owned and operated by the US military, who claims the right to shut it down without notice.

The INS system is deemed more reliable since it can operate without external sources.

 

Even airliners, like the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 does not use the GPS as prime navigational source, but also uses IRS'.

 

Other Global positioning systems are the Russian Glosnass and the European Galileo.

HI could someone please do a video on how to employ lgb with a buddy by either doing it from a a10a or jtac

[spiddx]

It seems like this method isn't working at the moment, so you'll have to wait.

[dotChuckles]

I'm still learning this whole YouTube foo... but here is my offering. A tutorial covering countermeasures, selective jettison, radar, missiles, canon and close combat modes.

 

Hopefully you can see past the fumbles and get something useful out of it!

M-2000C Crash Course by Fire [German]

 

A quick crash course with:

+ ramp start

+ taxi and take-off

+ VFR landing

 

... and my first impressions.

 

[Elefant1301]

Excellent landing VJS. It is very hard to achieve IMHO, I haven't yet succeeded in making a nice one (always too fast at touchdown).

[PVI_Eagle]

Basic video tutorrial in

Italian language ....

Use the airbrakes, they are very efficient and will slow you down quite a bit. I have more problems with the plane once it is down it simply wont stop rolling, even with aerobraking :)

[Elefant1301]

The problem is I can't get a good rate of descent with the recommended approach speed. If I try to approach at a speed of let's say 160-170 kts my descent is too fast, if I want to slow it down, my AoA gets too big...

I can't figure right now how to do it, but I am sure I'll get it ;)

 

Strangely, I do not have any problem to stop the plane before the end of the runway, even at a touchdown speed of 170 (that is the slowest I achieved). I just keep the nose up until 100 kts and slowly push the stick, apply gently the wheelbrakes until 30 kts and then use the nose wheel for steering to reach the parking area.

[OnlyforDCS]

Are you using APP mode on landing? Speed is not really as important as hitting the glide slope correctly, and in my (very humble) experience its better to be slightly faster than to slow down too much and fall like a brick :)

Another video today, showing how to use CCRP bombing with the M-2000C.

 

 

:thumbup:

[xxJohnxx]

One more (last one for the year :music_whistling:)!

 

As a follow up to CCRP, this video shows how to perform CCIP bombing:

FYI, RP is "Réservoir Pendulaire" (Drop Tank), not cannon. Cannon switch is the one left of MAG ;)

Also it's not BLI it's BL1 (Bombe Lisse - Low Drag Bomb).

Same BF1 (Bombe Freinée).

Good videos

Oh, thank you very much for pointing that out. Got myselfe confused there.

You allways learn something. :thumbup:

You're welcome! Your videos are usually quite popular so it's better to have it right :smartass:

Last video for the weekend (probably :music_whistling:).

 

This video shows how to use CCIP deliveries for low altitude bombing:

thank´s for the nice tutorials John:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::joystick:

Has anyone had success with JTAC or an A-10C lasing for gbu?

[bzhnono]

Not yet implemented on our version

[gospadin]

FWIW, the 1/2/4 in BF1/BF2/BF4 is apparently the weight of the bombs, in multiples of 250kg.

I believe there are a few working this, but mentioned in another thread that I am unsure of the moment. Anyways I am trying to figure the proper settings in the mission editor, if any, for the AI A-10C to buddy lase. If any suggestions I also would appreciate it. :)
