Still no one working on the A-10.  You've got about another 2 to 3 months until we see any movement.

 So I wait to fly again. putting away the gear and waiting for valve's next VR headset

VR headsets are getting more and more impressive with each iteration.

This is still broken. It definitely worked last year, so a patch broke it some time ago. The "Disp" brightness rocker doesn't do anything.

I'd just like to point out that it's a serious issue and not a nitpick. This is what night flying looks like right now, with MFDs switched to the "Night" setting... The A10 is just not useful for night flying any more.

Yes, it was a couple updates ago.  The only workaround for now is to reduce both the brightness and symbology brightness, but it's still pretty painful

Still another few months (at best) until we get any movement on the A-10.  Might have some luck with this issue since it's such a blatant problem, but they haven't had a dev on this aircraft in quite a while.  Last real update was over a year ago.

@BIGNEWY Any updates on this ?

Night flying is quite painful in VR to the point where screen remain in my vison after removing the headset

Sorry I have terrible eyes.

[xanstin]

Yeah new campaign better hope there arent any night missions and even day its nice to dial it down at times.

Still no devs working on the A-10.  Check back in a few months.

From a normal view in the cockpit it is impossible to see targets on TGP, the worst is WHOT, I started to use LAlt + F1 intensively during night tasks and do not adjust anything at all, I would ask once again to fix TGP in the next update and minimize night light.Also from the beginning I personally have a problem using TGP in cannon attack, during deep dives between -20 to -30 and more TGP loses grip and strays from the target.I think that intervention is needed here complete TGP for A-10C...

No problem during daytime but awful at night. LAlt+F1 is a workaround in 2D.

Hope they will correct it soon.

you with ED?

If he was he'd have a "ED Beta testers" or the like under his name. But the answer is no, he just assumes that they're not working on it. And I don't know if they're working on it either, so don't ask me.

Nope I am not with ED, but both BN and NL said no devs are working on the A-10 currently.  The one dev they did have on it was moved away from the A-10 months ago without any expected return date.  So it's a bit more than just an assumption but more like an educated estimation based on their words and the lack of any progress with the A-10 since the December timeframe, the release of the Apache, and the current updates being seen by the Hornet, SC, and Viper. 

 

*The only real assumption is that in a few months, the dev will return.  It could very well be longer until that status changes.

sounds good, thanks

[Zarma]

No update in today's patchnote. Haven't tested yet.0

 

Edit : no changes still have to turn up contrast and down brightness but awfull image.

They release a new campaign for the plane that they have left untouched for what seems to be several months to almost a year.

For me this issue is pretty game breaking for any low light situations. The work around is garbage.

My hope is that as soon as a developer is free again to work on our A-10, we will see lots of bugfixes and updates to compensate for this period of almost nothing.

The sad thing is, it is not even a real bug or missing feature. It is a function that was already implemented and has suddenly disappeared. For me making it impossible to use in VR.

[xanstin]

Yeah that’s exactly the problem. I get not adding new stuff while you work on new modules. But this is something that worked, is critical for half the paid campaigns out there as they all include low light ops plus MP, and it broke in an update and well just work around with contrast and brightness making a relatively unreadable eye sore in VR

Imagine charging £82 for a plane that you can't fly at night.

[BIGNEWY]

I have highlighted it to the dev again. 

thanks

Since the new FLIR system it's almost impossible to detect targets with TGP!

In A-10 we don't have a CP/G that can play with gain and contrast levels to see something!
I can understand that no devs are available to add functionnalities to the plane but, i can't understand that they break the plane and dont care to repair it!

Devs are not currently working on the ARC-210 and other updates for the A-10C II. The FLIR and display issues are being worked on.
