DCS A-10C QUESTIONS

[power5]

That rain is a nice effect, but its such a short loop. Either needs to be completely random, or a much much longer loop.

[Poor mans sniper]

Did you add rain ,snow effect on vc? es.

That video just reminded me of how awesome the nightime missions will be.:thumbup:

Will there be Mk 83 bombs available? The Translated russian thing on pg18 of this thread says there'll only be Mk82's and Mk84's...

The mk-83 is exclusive to the USN not the Air Force. At least it was so in the 90's but I haven't heard any diferent. the -82's and -84's are both adequate for their different target types.

Is this less complicated to fly than the KA-50?

 

Fixed-Wing by it's very nature is less complicated to fly than a Helo. If you are meaning less complicated to operate **properly**, ie as it should be, then yeah it's a damn side more complicated!

Will the JDAM ER's be in the invatory?

 

whin can we have the full list of weapons that will come with the A-10C

No, they are not used by the A-10C. I'm sure ED will release a full list of weapons and other features closer to release, the project is still very much a work in progress at the moment.

Is there any way our new A-10C's can be tricked out with some cool ladder door art...like these?

I hope that they (ED) do some kind of rain effect. It's pretty numb to have wipers in the kamov and when you are in rain you don't need it because there is actually no rain. Never saw a good representation of rain in videogames/simulations. Hope they do something, I think it was intended to integrate some rain effects on the black shark windshields.

 

Best regards.

[Deadman]

They should be able to do it we did it on the Simmod A-10A.The area was associated with high er resolution TGA files.

Okay, 3 more questions for you guys:

1. Will firing the gun for a prolonged amount of time cause a stall?

2. Will all weapons be more accurately modeled and function more like in real life?

3. Will bombing play a part of the campaign, or does it matter about preference of weapons?

[Olgerd]

Okay, 3 more questions for you guys:

1. Will firing the gun for a prolonged amount of time cause a stall?

 

No, because every time trigger is pulled, engines ignition is activated.

[Avilator]

No, because every time trigger is pulled, engines ignition is activated.

 

I think maybe he means an aerodynamic stall, not an engine failure.

[AlphaOneSix]

Still, no. You'll run out of ammo long before you lose that much airspeed...unless maybe you were barely above stall speed to begin with, and you didn't increase the throttle at all.

[Avilator]

Also, for the physics to allow it, you'd have to be in level flight or climbing. There would really be no reason to fire the gun in either circumstance.

[Deadman]

Shooting down a enemy Aircraft in either situation,Gun runs on ground targets on hills in level flight and climbing. Inverted dive taking out tanks one of NotiA-10 best moves:thumbup:

[Avilator]

Alright, point taken. Anyway, you'd have no reason to be that close to stall speed while making a gun run.

[Poor mans sniper]

Huh, my A-10 book said stalls from firing the cannon were Uncommon, mostly due to bad pilots. Now, the other 2 questions ;)

[GGTharos]

The smoke from the gun would choke the engines, which would cause a compressor stall.

 

This was alleviated by firing the engine ignition constantly while the trigger is depressed.

[CAT_101st]

This was alleviated by firing the engine ignition constantly while the trigger is depressed.

is this a hint for things to come :detective:

[AlphaOneSix]

Now, the other 2 questions ;)

 

Okay.

 

#2. More accurate/more like real life than what?

 

#3. Weapon selection is up to you, as long as the mission goals are achieved, the process by which you achieve them is irrelevant.

[lubey]

The mk-83 is exclusive to the USN not the Air Force. At least it was so in the 90's but I haven't heard any diferent. the -82's and -84's are both adequate for their different target types.

Oh that makes sense, massive bummer though! Love the -83, not too big, not too small...

[Scabbers]

Alpha I whole hardely disagree with #3.

 

Weapon selection is made based on threat level. if you can make a run with the cannon with minimal risk to taking ground fire then that is good. but if not then a longer range bomb toss or rocket/maverick attack would be called for. I mean it really is just common sense. Dont make a dangerous gunzo run just for the thrill. They would ground that guy/gal.

The question was for the DCS:WH sim, not for real life procedures, check the thread title :music_whistling: Even if it wasnt, there are other factors aswell that matters. (ROE, weather/visibility, proximity to friendlies, the nature of the target, monetary and logistic cost and availability etc..)

As mentioned, the question was in relation to the game, and so was my answer.
