ac5 Posted December 21, 2018 Posted December 21, 2018 I have searched trough the forum, and probably this comments exist already... but I see that the WWII birds are getting a lot of love, which is fantastic, but what about the A-10? The formation lights and also other lights are not working properly, the rain droplets do not appear on the canopy, etc.... Is an overhaul for this magnificent bird planned to bring it to the 2.5 / deferred shading standards?

Echo179 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Any plans for better cockpit textures? I find the F/A-18c's switch labels and such quite easy to read in VR, while the A-10c still seems to be a blurry mess, even when I lean in. Specifically, the switches for the radios and steer points and such seem to just be hard to make out.
ac5 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 Updates to the A-10C and Ka-50 cockpits and externals are already in work. Wags, Thank you for the quick reply, and I suppose that those improvements will include the raindrops and the formation lights?

Gruw Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Updates to the A-10C and Ka-50 cockpits and externals are already in work. Hey Wags, may you give me some tech about what you mean for "externals"? Skins? Pave Penny? Antennas? NVIS lights? Something under pylons, like new TER models... Engines covers like the Hornet? Thanks in advance
Wrench Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Updates to the A-10C and Ka-50 cockpits and externals are already in work. All hail Wags! I've long been afraid the A-10 was DCS' red-headed stepchild just like it is to the USAF. *insert sad face here* Glad to hear otherwise. Keep up the good work. Carrier Script.

flyingscotsman Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Nice to hear about update, it’s a fun plane to fly and the one we cut our DCS teeth on.

Razor18 Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 ... The formation lights and also other lights are not working properly, the rain droplets do not appear on the canopy, etc.... Just asking your opinion, what is wrong with those lights?...
Emmy Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 Just asking your opinion, what is wrong with those lights?... Running up the Formation Lights should not change the illumination level in the cockpit.

3WA Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 And there's other tiny bugs, but I can't remember them, because I haven't flown the beast in a while. I remember something about ILS... long ago.
METEOP Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 your expactations and standarts are indeed pretty low, the A-10c lacks certain features and up to date textures... Yep I started around the time when EGA was the hot new sh*t! My first computer had no hard drive and two 'floppies'. So visually yes, I guess you can always do better. Raytracing was a thing even in the 1990's but it's only really today that you start to hear some talk about that tech coming to gamin _soon_ so still a long way to go towards visual realism. On top of having low expectations, I'm also a cheap bastard and expect the graphics engine updates and community mods to keep the visuals interesting over time. I was referring more to the 'simulation' side of things, I'm still a baby hog quite frankly but there is so much depth to the systems in the A10C I wonder how much better it can become? But I like where you are taking me MemphisB, so I shall taunt the coding gods with yet another wishlist for the A10C: - MFD's (and exports) that don't impact the framerate so much - Shaking - Wing flex - Vapor - less boring wingmen AI - Nicer textures, yeah sure!

METEOP Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 dont forget the Pilot Body :). Good point. I did not add it to my list though, for some reason it always felt weird to me to look at my 'virtual' self in-game so I wouldn't activate it. I'm running a head tracker, I guess for VR it makes alot of sense to see your own avatar.

Sandman1330 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 In VR the pilot body adds an immense level of immersion. Seriously, on numerous occasions I have moved my real arm or leg in order to reach a switch, thinking the pilots body will also move! It sounds stupid but it’s true. I’ve even tried to lean on the canopy sill of the Spitfire while leaning outside to taxi...

Oh boy, there you´re saying somethings...and it does absolutley not sound stupid...I was flying the Hornet today in VR and wanted to check whether a certain Button moves on the Throttle when I was giving input on my THW, but the (virtual) left leg covered the Throttle and thus I moved my leg to see the Throttle...boy, that was a strange feeling when realizing that you´re actuzally sitting on your own chair in your room hahaha BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection
Lao Fei Mao Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 If they do update the cockpit, better make the HUD bigger like the F/A-18C's. I can't see the full info on HUD unless I get very close to the HUD, weird feeling, the A-10C and F-15C have same problem.
