Shadow KT Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 True but that’s mostly through habit because more often than not we don’t operate with a JTAC. But VHF/AM is the normal radio for flight comms so the post you quoted is spot on. So what I said is correct ? What is the difference between a package and a flight ? Package is a more than one flight with the same tasking ? 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gliptal Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 So what I said is correct ? What is the difference between a package and a flight ? Package is a more than one flight with the same tasking ?Yes more or less. AFAIK a "package" is a set of flights that have the same overall goal, not necessarily the same tasking: you could have a single package comprised of a SEAD flight and a strike flight for example.

Shadow KT Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Got it. Thank you Eddie and Gliptal. BTW, I heard that someone from the 476th have had the luck to try out a real Warthog sim and the engines had more umph. Could be part of the newer suits ?

Shadow KT Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I believe the engines have been the same since the A model. My point was, the engines on the USAF sim seem to be more powerful than the ones we got. The suit being newer was just a reason I thought it might be so. And again, that is just a story I heard 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitormouraa Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The engines from A-10A to A-10C Suite 8 are all the same. It's the TF34-GE-100/91 and GE-100A. They are basically the same, in fact, all performance charts of the TF34-GE-100 can/are used for the GE-100A.

metzger Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think the question was not that the engines are different but that they are not very accurately modelled in dcs in compare to the usaf sim.

Vitormouraa Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 We had many threads about this already, and it goes in the way same all the time. I think unless someone proves the TF34 is underpowered, ED won't change anything (even though Yo-Yo last year said TF34 in DCS had issues IIRC). And I honestly don't know, Yo-Yo explained many times why the TF34 does not reach higher ITT values. I'd be sad if it's true though :( Also, we don't really have many tools or ways to measure the force (i.e thrust) produced but the TF34s in DCS, so measuring that would be quite difficult.

Shadow KT Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Well, this going a bit OT now, but... If anyone is to prove or provide data on such a topic, it would be ED themselves. They are the closest to the military data. But I am guessing, that it might be like this due to an agreement. So, I am not really hoping on any changes or updates to the A-10. Or it could even be down to the aerodynamics modeled in DCS Even wiki says that it cruises at 300 knots. :music_whistling: Don't butcher me for mentioning the forbidden name. I'd have no need for a Harrier if that was the case. Maybe next time, Snoopy should ask if they can show him a engine performance chart :lol: If you think about it, the only disadvantage the Hawg has in DCS is its speed. With that changed it would be really be the best CAS platform and besides if so many people wanna keep this platform going (RL) and keep upgrading it. If they thought the engines were under performing, they would have upgraded them.

The AMRAAMer Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I try to use the F10 map as little as possible to keep things as realistic as possible but one thing I have trouble doing in DCS is navigating through the airbase and getting myself onto the runway... Is there anyway to know where you spawn in, and to know what turns to make to get onto the runway, without using the F10 map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to know where you spawn in, and to know what turns to make to get onto the runway, without using the F10 map? You could have it in the briefing, use F2 or F11...but why is F10 non realistic? Pilots carry maps and they could mark known position of friendly or enemy among other things. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience.

Yurgon Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Is there anyway to know where you spawn in, and to know what turns to make to get onto the runway, without using the F10 map? Check your DCS installation folder and then Docs\ for some ground charts (at least in 1.5, not sure about Nevada and Normandy). These are really cool to get an idea of the airbase and they also include names of aprons, parking areas and taxiways. :thumbup: Figuring out the spawn position, I don't know the perfect way. I mostly use the F2 view to get an idea where I am and then go from memory or use the ground charts. But I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with using the F10 map for this purpose, too. IRL I guess pilots would actually know where they are on a base. Or they could ask the crew chief in case they really don't. :P Edit: :gun_sniper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRaza Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Why is it that sometimes the TAD cursor slews very fast, and at other times much slower? It doesn't have to do with zoom level, i find that one minute the hook cursor slews fine and the next it is extremely fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRaza Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 On the maverick camera there is a T-shaped cross that moves around to show you where the maverick is pointing relative to your aircraft. what does it mean when you lock a target and this cross flashes?

When the Maverick has locked on to a target, the Pointing Cross that represents the pointing angle of the Maverick in relation to the aircraft’s longitudinal axis will flash.

As I have heard that it means that the lock/thermal contrast is not strong, or that it is off boresight. Just wondering if these are true or if it simply means that the Maverick is locked on to the thermal image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if these are true or if it simply means that the Maverick is locked on to the thermal image I don't know why I bother. The manual tells us that within DCS A-10C module, the AGM-65 is lock, the pointing cross flashes. So you say;" you have established that already" What have you established? You ask what does it mean? that the missile is lock :doh: I'm out. 1 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.
