Original request is now 2 years old - and they haven't managed to figure out how to put wheel chocks in for the A10..........

lonewolfknight Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) +1. To help support this please review the video attached of a A-10 Demo team. There's technically 2 requests combined. 1. Add Chocks 2. Adjust idle thrust to reflect realistic idle taxi (this may not be as popular.) @~10:40 you'll hear the pilot describe the A-10 idle produce enough thrust to 'idle uh pretty fast so you've got to sit here a just hold the brakes' @~13:50 another discussion about idle and brakes. P.S. the startup procedure timings and counts are informative. Edited November 18, 2022 by lonewolfknight 4 1
agrasyuk Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 Yep. I can't imagine it would be so labour intensive 1 Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
Minhal Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 Probably a feature not that complicated to implement and it really is an important quality of life feature. When i arrive on Incirlik north EOR and decide to take a break, i sometimes find myself in the grass once i return. And no: the emergency brake is not a workaround parking brake 3

And no: the emergency brake is not a workaround parking brake that’s because all the emergency brake handle does is switch to the emergency accumulator it doesn’t apply the brakes. 2 v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website

True. But it is yet the first thing everybody tells me to use when i complaint about no choks. Hence i checked that mark right off the bat Fun fact that makes it even funnier: vanilla autostop sequence pulls the emergency brake as if it was a handbrake. Edited April 23, 2023 by Minhal typo
lerxster Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Yes wheel chocks are a must...! nothing more annoying than holding brakes when trying to start up on a windy day! Any addition to make the airframe more interesting and realistic gets a thumbs up from me... 1
