WildBillKelsoe Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Gun torque I, as a realist, consider the forces acting on all aspects. One aspect that troubles me, is the torque produced when the gun is discharged. Is it modelled? I am not new to the sim, but no harm in asking inside a dedicated thread. Speaking of which, is that why it is mounted to the left of the nose? Does that mean torque right? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer.

joey45 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 You need to put the nose gear somewhere... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Couladin Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Is the torque produced when the gun is discharged. Is it modelled? When the GAU-8 fires the recoil is heavy and pushes the plane upwards around its horizontal/Wing axis (nose up!). The enginous engineers invented PAC to use the "Autopilot" (EAC) to counter this when pulling the trigger.

JCamel Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Does anyone know if an XBOX 360 for Windows controller will work with the PC Version of this game? If the telegraph pole takes off after you, it is not a telegraph pole.
PeterP Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Yes- as long it got recognized by windows and shows up in the controller options of windows - you are able to config it in-game of DCS.
JCamel Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Under Control Panel >> Devices and Printers it comes up as an XBox 360 controller, so I guess that means it's good to go? If the telegraph pole takes off after you, it is not a telegraph pole.

Is it modelled? I am not new to the sim, but no harm in asking inside a dedicated thread. Speaking of which, is that why it is mounted to the left of the nose? Does that mean torque right? Do you mean recoil or twisting torque along the longitudinal axis caused by the barrels rotating? I believe the motor that spins the barrels spins In the opposite direction the barrels spin, so any twisting torque is essentially cancelled out...(I think...) The barrels are offset so the barrel actually firing, is on aircraft centerline.

I've asked many of our pilots what type of things they deal with when shooting the gun and not once has any pilot mentioned this. They always talk about being able to smell the gun gas after shooting, the vibration the gun produces, but have never mentioned having to compensate for a torque effect. The gun, although slightly off center, is designed to fire very close to the center line of the ACFT. Here is what various Tech Orders say about the GAU-8. · The installation of the gun system is such that it positions the firing barrel approximately on the aircraft centerline. · Due to gun acceleration characteristics of the "Gatling effect", a short burst will normally hit to the right of the aiming index. Again, nothing in Tech Orders or other real world training material I have access to mentions a torque issue. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website

Call911 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 I purchased DCS A10C awhile ago when it was still in Beta. I just did a fresh install of it. Question now is how do i get it to show playable with DCS World? I purchased the P51 an DCS World came with the dl for the P51. Do I need to point the A10 install to the DCS World Directory or do I need a patch or somthing? many thanx. P51 shows in list of available aircraft in menus but A10 does not. Sorry an thanx kinda new(still) to Flight Sims. Kirk
sobek Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 You need to download the A-10 module for DCS World, just as you did for the P-51. To be found at the bottom of this page http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=8&end_pos=135&lang=en A-10C_1.1.2.1_EN.exe Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
Call911 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Game version is 1.1.0.5 do i need all the A10 patch's or can i grab the last? or do i need to get them in order from release version to current? Thanx I have to let most of these dl's run over nite so the fewer the better, less i have to. Took me 2 full days to re-download the A10 Edited June 29, 2012 by Call911
