The radio is already in the Hornet. How long should it take to put it in the Hog? It's been years.

It’s more than just the radio, the HUD needs updating, the control unit and it’s screen needs to be created and the COMM MFCD page needs to me created.

One ARC-210 will be added, RT1, with UHF and VHF functions and related HUD, UFC, STAT page, and COMM changes. This will replace one of the VHF radios. We still need to add the STAT page and UFC f

We have nothing new on this. The task is more complex than other radios. We are currently working on integration into the HUD and COMM page.

Sounds like a year and a half's worth of work.  But I get your point.

Congress has approved funding, it’s gotten through testing and development, now it’s waiting on inspection phase inspection cycles on the jet to align conveniently for maintenance to install them… but oh wait the air force is trying to kill the jet again and took away our budget to do the installs so standby on any new updates, put the parts in a warehouse and stand by for words until we forget the part is there…  

DCS is crushing the realism of the USAF acquisition timeline!

I bought the A-10C II two years ago to the month. That seems long enough to install a radio.

 

I'm not impatient. Just saying.

Your point is valid.

 

Where is that radio?! Been almost 2 years?!

   It's on the way, new files after 2.8 update : Mods\aircraft\A-10C_2\Cockpit\Scripts\ARC_210

I would guess probably next update or two it'll be out.

It will get bugfixes, but no more features after the radio. That is what I understood. Not happy about it, too.

But then why should it? In that it should get additional 'features' - such as???  It is a simulation, some (me) see it as a game, TBH I only want Arc210 in the hope the pre-sets will be fixed.  The sim model is based on a variant and corresponding systems (I believe) as true to life as they can be subject to information release up to a certain modification/Blok level, so once at that level - endgame. Same really as the current AH module - D model. We'el - there is now an E model - so when is that going to be rolled out in a 'DCS Modification Programme' - maybe/probably never - it is currently a simulation of an aircraft at that development (D) standard - although still enhanced from the original D model specs (TEDAC coupled with MTADS vs the older ORT as an example). Could also argue for the Brits out there why hasn't the UK DAS suite been modelled, likewise Israeli, etc etc etc...

I guess ultimately as 'simmers' 'we' will never be happy (to a more or lesser degree), similar to real life pilots, and will always want the best kit, against what the simulation actually represents in terms of modelling at a particular date stamp?

I would just like ED to actually finish a product.  That's the whole point. A radio has taken them over 2 years to implement, and now coming up on six months since the developer "returned" to it, because it does not pay them anymore to put in the work.  It's frustrating from a customer perspective.  I don't require them to add more than was slated, just that they don't take eons to achieve what would appear to be a relatively simple task.  ED lacks follow through.

Have a look at the wishlist section 😉

Not that I demand anything that wasn't promised, but it would have been cool to get some of the requested features.

The A-10C (v1 and v2) isn’t anywhere near a specific suite.  The original release had a mixture of suite 3 and 5 features and version 2 has a few suite 7 plus features but has so many items in the TAD, HMCS, TGP, and HUD missing you couldn’t truly say ED was trying to model that suite either.

it will be interesting to see how accurately the ARC-210 is modeled and if things like UFC integration and HUD projected info is included.

Another update and newsletter with the no mention of the A-10C II.  I know what the response will be but it really does appear that the module is abandoned.  Released over two years ago but we’re suppose to be patient for promised and advertised items not being included yet.

It would be nice if a newsletter at least mentioned the progress of the ARC-210 instead of just telling us a programmer has been assigned.  We were told 6 months (and counting) ago they were assigned.

Now that Wags let the cat out of the bag, can whoever deleted my post put it back so I can publicly wish you a timely "Merry Christmas?"
