llOPPOTATOll Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Is the last thing we are getting the AN/ARC-210? Or is there more in the pipeline for the A-10C The A-10 currently is missing quite a handful of features that would be pretty handy. Its missing the COMM page which is used to change IFF keys, Change ARC-210 presets (When arc-210 is added), adjust SADL and VMF datalink. (Not sure what year this was added) The three blank buttons on the CDU actually have functions, one of the buttons deletes the markpoint currently displayed on the WAYPT page, one creates a overhead markpoint, and the last button initiates a LASTE manual data capture. The last one might not be as handy but the first two would defiantly prove useful. There are also quite a bit of features missing from SADL and maybe VMF if thats within our aircraft timeframe. Air tracks should be displayed on the TAD aswel as the seven different type of threat rings. The TAD is also missing J3.0 messages such as Kill Zones, Hazzards, or low level transit routes, Kill Zones would be the main thing though. The datalink symbology should also be displayed on the TGP and the HUD. The A-10C also has the ability to send and recieve images over datalink. It would be nice to also receive updated VMU callouts; "Pull-Up, Pull-Up", "Missile, Missile", "Speedbrakes, Speedbrakes", "Chaff-Flare, Chaff-Flare", "Obstacle", "Celing", and "Counter, Counter". Fixing the Datalink gateway would also be very nice. There is probably a bunch more i missed but these are quite important in my opinion. Is IDM accurate for our Hog? 6
