openfalcon68 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Its cool to see the Litening tracking its target in external view. The can pilot after ejecting. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avilator Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Smoke from burning vehicles can MASK the targeting pod. See this video at 5:50 (not my video) Do you mean the entire screen blanking out? If you do, that's not smoke, that's the wing. I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!" Who can say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow. -Robert Goddard "A hybrid.

Weaponz248 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I have been reading the manual as I dont have the game yet but I think so far the coolest little detail for me is the three selection types for ammo. Thats awesome. That was stuff that we had to worry about down range so for me thats cool. Cant wait to finally get this bad boy up in the air for some flight time!

recoil17 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Do you mean the entire screen blanking out? If you do, that's not smoke, that's the wing. No the "M" that is flashing on the TGP and the HUD means there is something masking the targeting pod. Maybe it's part of the aircraft that triggered this but in the video I don't see anything in the view of the TGP. When the smoke covers the target the M appears and starts to flash. EDIT: Now that I look at it more, I think a solid M came on warning that the sensor was in a position that it could be masked soon. Once the pilot entered POINT tracking the M started flashing. Maybe just a warning? Edited November 19, 2010 by recoil17 "Simultaneous selection of fuel dump and afterburner during high AOA maneuvering may cause fuel to ignite with resulting fuselage damage."

MTFDarkEagle Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yes, the M indicator is just a warning that the TGP POV is about to be blocked by the aircraft.

Blaze Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hopefully they'll still keep that feature but you'd have to pull the landing gear breaker to be able to fire it on the ground (IIRC it's how the ground crew tests the gun). i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

I think it's a little more involved than pulling a breaker in the cockpit :) With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.

effte Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I think it's a little more involved than pulling a breaker in the cockpit :) Familiar with the C/B game? It's a game played at cruise level in complex multicrew aircraft. The crew takes turns pulling a circuitbreaker, and whoever ends up tripping the autopilot loses. At the advanced level, you are not allowed to use the aircraft documentation... :pilotfly: Not strictly on topic, but too good not to share.

Zag Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Hi, On the ground, when you activate the gun PAC , the master arm, you can shoot the gun and the A-10C will go back and if you hit the brakes, the nose will go up.

26-J39 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I remember seeing an A-10 doco a while ago and it mentioned that the A-10 cannon is not able to be fired on turf by either pilot or maintenance crew ever (in normal circumstances).. Just imagine some dodgy, twitchy, trigger happy maintenance crew dude in the cockpit.. Opps, i accidentally flicked Master Arm :huh: bugger! Oh I flicked GAU-8 Arm too :P Gee my finger is on the trigger... i better be careful ...:gun_smilie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaha Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 When I first noticed the cannon rounds ricocheting, I felt like I was back in the Army shooting a .50 cal with tracers (though of course the GAU is much bigger!).
