Hi all,

 

We do have different sources here that show no green on the dial and other marking are different

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks

Short answer is they are all right.:) Depends on the maintenance unit and if the guy who painted it gave a little that day. Even some of our jets have slight variation in cosmetic appeal. Engine guys don't usually paint in our neck of the woods or they would be all the same :happy: I can see why APU isn't greened up on RPMs on most because it is an all the way on (100%) or off kind of device. Any deviation outside of startup would mean malfunction. Too bad I missed taking a pic in the jet today. If I had to find an existing picture that is most like what we have it be this one:

My picture references above are from Moody AFB that I took myself in March 2020. Like zinhawk said every A-10 cockpit is slightly different, but per the TO the markings should be there. Doesn't mean that every one has them when gauges are replaced. You can see proof of that in my picture above where the #2 engine RMP gauge didn't get the markings painted on it.

 

I could go out to all 40 something A-10s we have on the ramp at Moody AFB and find things different on every jet. If ED really wanted to be realistic they'd offer multiple version of the A-10C cockpit for members to select. The issue (not really an issue) is it's "one texture fits all" when in reality that doesn't exist.

 

Below is a video of me starting the APU back in 2011 (Bignewy, if it's not deleted this video was provided in mantis back when I was testing to show the speed an indication the APU should be during start). You can see then the green mark wasn't there but the picture I took in March it was. Again neither is wrong per say.
