Will it have OBOGS?

[v81]

Watched a Youtube walk around of a retired / demo A-10C.

Pilot mentioned it had an OBOGS system installed where the LOX used to go.

 

 

Clip here if anyone interested, one of the better A-10 walk arounds i've seen.

~ 11m:40s mark

 

 

Probably not a huge deal weather we get it or not.

Just curious to know if it's accurate to the new A-10C module, and and if so i'd hope it's not difficult to implement it.

 

 

I assume there isn't a lot of logic in the oxygen system anyway.

All A-10s in the inventory don’t have OBOGS, all our jets at Moody are LOX still

Would be a pity then if it came shortly after A-10C 2 gets out, relatively speaking, perhaps asking the military department who ordered the professional A-10C update if they would like to future proof it and kinda plan and schedule it, but not actually add it in until the real ones have it, kinda, or whatever could work.

TBH i dont consider lack of OBOGS a deal breaker. This is just a sim an not RL. Hypoxia in DCS seems to only be a noticable issue when flying with no oxygen at high altitudes , and i don't recall ever flying such a long mission in the A10C that my oxygen tank ran out before RTB

Yeah, the actual nuances between self-gen systems and LOX don’t really extend into anything DCS besides perhaps a BIT system and something you might be able to give battle damage too

Hi, It would be interesting if ED created an option so that the user could choose between LOX and the OBBOGS systems.

I think ED would only have to create a few new textures of the Oxygen panel (removing the oxygen amount indicator) and program in the simulator so that the oxygen does not run out.

And if they try a little harder, they could simulate oxygen failure due to destruction of the OBBOGS system in combat. I think It may not be complicated in time and resources to do so.

The user could choose the option from the special configuration menu of the A-10C module, just as he can choose cabin texture, etc.

The users would may feel they have more modern aircraft for little "work programing".  :)

What do you think about that?

I think that I need smatr AI and functional ATC more than completelly useless "sticker" in cockpit.

I'd rather see loss of hydraulics in case of engine failure implemented. As far as I've read, a windmilling fan (and connected low pressure turbine) wouldn't be able to power the accessory gearbox driven by the high pressure compressor/turbine. Yet in case of engine failure the hydraulic pressure never drops and in turn the manual reversion flight control system is basically never needed in flight - by the time hydraulics loss occurs, the damage to the aircraft will be so catastrophic that the flight time remaining will be determined by height above ground level and terminal velocity rather than pilot action.

Long story short, I don't care much for such new features, especially when they add little or nothing to gameplay and, in the worst case, might introduce new issues or bugs.

Agreed (and the update to the TAD & missing HMCS symbology).  From the perspective of DCS adding OBOGS has zero impact I don't see anyone flying long enough to go through 5 liters of LOX LOL.

I don't think any real world pilots want obogs either for that matter
