Id like to know if there are real Hog pilots who could share their thoughts about DCS A-10 beta?

 

What do they think about it. Anyone?

 

Thanks

There's a few crew chiefs, i think, not sure about pilots.

Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two.

Im a crew chief but not on the A-10 though :smilewink: I do know another crew chief on here who works on the A-10 I think he will show up soon!

 

just out of interest, how does one become a crew chief? or more likely why? im sure it is a very interesting job, and very important too, but i would cry bloody tears every time i saw someone take off knowing that i'll never fly one :( for me, it would be a torture! being so close, but still so far.

I doubt any RL Hog Drivers will show up here let alone fly the sim.

 

Many are Guard pilots with full time jobs (so already busy) and, if you do it RL full time, why would you want to simulate it?

Not if you knew who just fixed it......you'd probably feel safer on the ground.:pilotfly:

I have a buddy...! Works for FedEx and a few of his bros at the airline come visit (we live at the beach!) Next time the ex-A-10 guy is here I will see if I can get him to come over to try it! There was an ex-F-14 pilot here a few weeks ago, but I missed him. Additionally, we had a cookout at my place about a month ago, and I had an Apache ex-pilot here and I did not even know it! If I did, I would have definitely had him try the Blackshark!

For the same reason RL race drivers use simulations...practice!

I have worked on the A-10 (6 years) and F-16 (11 years). Mower, when I was in Alaska I had a few friends that were A-10 and F-16 pilots. They did try the game out and the F-16 pilot laughed at the 120. He just said that it's wrong, he could really go into any details. The A-10 pilot said it flew pretty good, but was a lil slow.

Thanx Cali. What sim was that they flew?

Mower - listen up: Cali is probably going to say LockOn. Now before he does, steel yourself and suppress the fit of righteous giggles that's bound to erupt from the depths of your gut which might just lead to a cracked rib, or worse, the wrath of the Missus for conduct unbecoming........:P

 

As to the OP, I'm sure there are Hog-Pilots on call. Probably wary (and with good cause) of frequenting a Public Forum though I would have thought.

I'm a RL hog pilot and I'll be taking questions for the next seven minutes only

It must have been LOMAC...

 

It's nice to test take-off performance and reference that with the perf. charts in the TO 1A-A10 manual. Given my poor piloting "sKilLz" I'd say the FM is dead-on.

 

Acceleration speed, which is all I had time to test thoroughly, was never off for more than 4 kts. Both at 35000lbs. and 41500lbs.

Yes Viper, it was lock on and back when I was stationed in Alaska. Weather you believe me or not I really don't care. The 16 pilot I knew got out of the AF and went to fly at Tuscon. The A-10 guy stayed up there and I don't know where he is at now, but I can find out if he is still in. They both only flew it a few times, since enlisted and officers aren't suppose to hung out together. So go ahead and have a good chuckle, remember this was lock on 1.01-1.02.

Woa M8 - why would I not believe you ;)

 

I was just having a wee jab at Mower is all - obviously not well stated judging by your response. No worries, it's all good :)

I know a lot of people say all kinds of stuff (lies) in forums. I wish I would have taken more pics of the hog when I was up there. I also wish I would have been able to take some pics of me and them standing next to their jets. I almost got a F-16 ride with my Viper pilot friend when we were in Guam, but our deploy got cut short cause the Navy came back.

IMO the reason why a A-10 pilot wouldn't want to play this game is because it's work.

 

I'm sure bank tellers wouldn't want to play a bank teller simulator. ;)
