REL Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Unknown to me at least ... What exactly are those ? Picture 1: Picture 2: Thanks
Krebs20 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Picture 2. Hud camera and gun cam? It's a complete guess on my part. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Miro Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 What's the rope tied at each side? it's still beta, and this rope holds whole cockpit in one piece :music_whistling: :pilotfly:
Nate--IRL-- Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 The rope is to hold maps IIRC. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
Krebs20 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) The ropes are for checklist and approach plates. Any paperwork the pilot wants out of his way most of the time. Edited January 14, 2011 by Krebs20 damn. beat to it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cali Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) The 1st pic is the aircraft real radio call sign and tail number, according to what I see the jet was built in 1990 and the tail # is 208. But we know that it wasn't built in 1990.

BlueRidgeDx Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Pic 1 is a floodlight fixture. The red circle is also drawn around the data plate that serves as a reminder of the aircraft's tail number. Pic 2 is the DVADR remote control panel. "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col. Creighton Abrams
Le0kong Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 What about this box on the right side of the seat? And this box on the top left side of the seat, it is only visible on the external model: PS: I just noticed the stick on the external model is from the A-10A AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8@3360 MHz | MB Asus M4A78-EM | 4GB DDR2-800 Kingston | XFX HD 5770 @850-900/1200-1300 | 500G Samsung HD502HI | Case CM 335 | CM-EPP 460W | Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) | Saitek X65F | Freetrack(Wii Remote) | LG 23' W2353V
Stretch Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 First picture: Radio callsign plaque, and the NVIS light that illuminates it. The inset cylinder is probably related to mounting the cockpit to the frame, since there is an identical one on the opposite side. Second picture: Camera controls. The A-10 has a HUD and EO camera I think? Above picture: Mission recorder.

BlueRidgeDx Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 What about this box on the right side of the seat? That's the actual Digital Video Airborne Data Recorder (DVADR) unit. As opposed to the OP's picture, which shows the DVADR's remote control panel. And this box on the top left side of the seat, it is only visible on the external model: That's the Data Transfer Unit (DTU), where the Data Transfer Cartridge (DTC) goes.

recoil17 Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Wags mentioned a book to buy with good pictures of the A-10C. I decided to buy it to learn more about the plane. I highly recommend it. It explains everything you've asked about and more. It covers the A-10, A-10+, and A-10C. http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Hog-Guide-10-Warthog/dp/0979506425 "Simultaneous selection of fuel dump and afterburner during high AOA maneuvering may cause fuel to ignite with resulting fuselage damage."
MemphisBelle Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 That's the actual Digital Video Airborne Data Recorder (DVADR) unit. I wonder if it´s possible then to record the flight as it happens in real. And where would those tracks been stored then? BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection
LostOblivion Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 ED states in the preliminary change log for 1.1.0.9 that the DVADR will become functional. It probably just means they will model the switches, etc, not actual recording functionality. Nice plane on that gun... OS764 P930@4 MBUD3R M6GB G5870 SSDX25 CAntec1200 HTMHW
GGTharos Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Correct. If ED was to add another camera to record a separate DVADR, you'd never use it. It would murder your FPS and you can record 'hud footage' by replaying the track, anyway.

hog_driver111th Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Anyone know where the file is to edit the data plate numbers? I'd like to repaint it to be the same as my tail number. I tried searching through the different cockpit textures, but didn't see where I could edit it.

It covers the A-10, A-10+, and A-10C. http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Hog-Guide-10-Warthog/dp/0979506425 Old post, but I just wanted to mention that I bought the above book. Whilst it's good for model makers and skinners and such as it has pictures of everything on the A-10 down to each rivet, it does not go into any depth with regards to the avionics or functionality, and there are only about 2 pics of the C's pit. I was pretty disappointed given how much the book cost. Edit: Bajesus-Amazon shows one used available for $307.88. If you buy this book for any reason I will personally come to your house and slap you. P.S. I bought mine new about 6 months ago for around $50. Edited July 5, 2011 by hassata [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

But we know that it wasn't built in 1990. Thought the same thing lol. 90s my ass, this is an A-10. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Scabbers Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Thought the same thing lol. 90s my ass, this is an A-10. Well not exactly true. If the aircraft was modified from an A-10A then the buno would still be the same. If the aircraft was a new construction then you would be correct. Now where is that speed brakes control again? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Snoopy Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Well not exactly true. If the aircraft was modified from an A-10A then the buno would still be the same. If the aircraft was a new construction then you would be correct. I know myself and many other A-10 maintainers would be VERY happy if they actually built some new A-10s....never going to happen though... v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
Frostiken Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Well not exactly true. If the aircraft was modified from an A-10A then the buno would still be the same. If the aircraft was a new construction then you would be correct. Err, yeah, that was my point, the current A-10s are incredibly old. They're not quite the oldest airframes still in use today but due to their design and heavy use they've not endured quite as well. The USAF had to start up manufacturing for new wings since the current ones are cracking and falling apart in critical areas beyond the scope of even depot-level repairs. The saddest thing is the USAF doesn't even have anything even approaching a replacement for the A-10, so in twenty years they'll probably still be trying to keep them intact enough to use. To put it into perspective, us using the A-10 today is roughly the same as if WW2 were fought using Wright Flyers. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EtherealN Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Well, to be fair Frostiken, it's not quite the same. You can't compare the age aspect of mature technology to a place where the technology in question was literally revolutionary and completely new. Aerospace technology had a much faster turnover rate because people were still learning what is today very basic stuff.
