[Bwaze]

Awesome! Thank you, Wags!

[PoleCat]

Thank you Wags. Great Producer note video.

 

Out

[Pizzicato]

Yep. Thanks from me, too. Really looking forward to seeing more.

[JaNk0]

One word...

Epic!

[VMFA117_Poko]

I have question about airfield textures. Will there be separete textures for different airfields? I spotted differences on concrete plates surface in comparsion to Producer's Note #1.

What is next? Be nice to wrap myself around that UFCP, but then i want to see wags blow shit up! :D Combat combat combat. Now that i think about it, coudn't do combat if we dont know how all the other systems work :doh:.

Who am I kidding, I'd worship anything he puts out.

 

 

 

Anyone else sad that there isn't as much switchology as with black shark? I like starting BS up more than flying it lol. MORE SWITCHES MORE SWITCHES!

 

I just want them to release the manual BEFORE the sim...:rolleyes:

 

 

P.S. What happened to the bashing a long dad horse smiley?

Not to worry - a coupla hours in the Hog and you'll soon land up in the A&E with 'Mouse-Elbow and attendant swollen index finger'.......:P

Don't worry, there are plenty more switches left yet. Doing one thing might take a lot fewer switch actions than in the Ka-50, but there are a lot more things you can do. Just wait until you get into the MFCD sub menus,nav systems and weapon functions. Your brain will be melting in no time.

 

If you want to start studying now, grab yourself the A-10A flight manual, most of the systems are similar to the C model and the electrical, fuel, hyd & engine systems are the same.

Wait for the Tactical Awareness Display (TAD), Digital Stores Management System (DSMS), Targeting Pod (TGP), Control Display Unit (CDU) / Embedded GPS INS (EGI) system, Maverick, Status (STAT) page, datalink, programmable Countermeasure System (CMS), and message system.

[GGTharos]

Flight performance and limitations should also be as per that manual, IIRC.

By the way wags, if it isn't too much trouble could you give me some kind of idea as to when the 3rd note should be ready? Just so I could know when to look, and can stop F5'ing before I get Carpal Tenal? ;)

[HitchHikingFlatlander]

Awesome Producer Note we're all in for a real treat! Going to be an interesting year of learning complex aircraft systems and raising our soon to be born daughter.

[snowman123]

One skin that needs to be put in A-10c is the wild bill teeth from bill et john Ep. 2 Love that skin...

I can't recall where I read this, but one of the "cons" of the Ka-50 (when compared to the Mi-28, IIRC) was the lengthy start-up procedure, which limited how fast it could be deployed on short notice.

 

With the A-10C being a more modern(ized) aircraft, I guess it makes sense they tried to make the pilot's life easier - the fact that you start the engines by moving the corresponding throttle out of its lowest detent instead of pressing a button, in particular, stands out to me as a user-friendliness thing (unless there's a technical reason for it, but I wouldn't know).

[Pilotasso]

So the turbine is visualy confirmed to be turning from the pilots seat at 2:22 heh? :D

 

Those are the fans. :smartass:

 

Turbines are at the back of the engine. :)

[EtherealN]

If I recall the TF34 right, the fan and turbine are on the same shaft, meaning if one is turning the other is as well.

 

Though the schematics I have aren't really detailed enough to be sure.

Wait for the Glowing Amraam video then :)

I don't think so, usually turbofan have two shaft, one for the hi-pres compressor and another to move the fan blades (which have to spin slower, because the bigger diameter), so it depends of what turbine are you talking about (hi press or lo press)

 

Regards!!

[SUBS17]

Awesome video any chance we could see a video of the C and JTAC doing some CAS?:joystick:

Nope they are definately two stage, wouldn't make any sense to put turbine and fan rpm gauges in the pit if it was not, eh?

 

Although if i recall correctly from what my uncle (an aircraft mech turned commercial pilot) told me once, fan spooling up is a visual cue that the engine has lit.

It has to be turning, single or twin spooled. Otherwise the compressor wouldnt work, basicaly the engine wouldnt even start. :)

[Ratcatcher]

Most enjoyable and the cockpit is looking fantastic!

 

1 question though, could anyone explain why its all tied together with a bit of string?

 

Budgets cuts perhaps? :cry:

[TheMoose]

Thanks for keeping the startup cheat key as you did with the KA50, without it, it will take me weeks to be able to startup. I'm still using that for the KA50. To many buttons, not enought time to learn... However I do want to learn, so one day at the time.

Cheers
