HUD wind drift


Steel Jaw

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to override the HUD wind drift for times when it blows too far to the side to be useful?

 

In the F16 (I know from Falcon4) there is a switch for drift override that forces the HUD to stay centered.

 

We couldn't find this option in the A10.

 

Cheers.

I don't think there is HUD drift override on the A10C IRL, but I know there are people here who actually work on the A10C IRL who can answer this question for certain.

It may not be the best solution, but I trim the rudder. Sometimes I have to counter trim the ailerons.

It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm

No such function in real and DCS A-10C.

...they should have included a 16:9 super wide HUD along with the FCS/ECM upgrades when converting the A-10As to Cs ... not to speak about a bubble canopy and more powerful engines, and ummm a radar (i hear opposition coming haha)

Would that be an F16 by any chance? :D

Mic1184, where would they put the radar?

 

Don't forget, the nose is taken already

 

Replacing the GAU8/A with a regular 20mm Vulcan should give it enough space... :music_whistling:

 

I believe the C model has a tow bar listed as an optional extra. Don't know if ED has implemented it though:smartass:.

 

ED did implement it, it's called RCVR ;-)

Vulcans are for fly-swatters. Mud-movers have no use for it. :P

 

And what would you use a bloody radar for in an A-10? Just something for your enemy to home in on imho. :music_whistling:

DCS A-10C: putting the 'art' into 'warthog'.

(yes, corny. Sorry.)

Perhaps ground mapping or ground moving target detection. :smilewink: There have been times when I've longed for my old Viper and it's radar while orbiting over the battlefield trying to find an elusive target.

Other aircraft have 20 mm Vulcan cannons. The A-10 has the GAU-8.

 

Other aircraft have puny little radars. If the A-10 had a radar, proportionality dictates it'd have a radar which could:

 

1) Fry bacon, small animals, T-72s and small countries from up to 7 nm away.

2) Make the planet spin the other way due to the electro-magnetic recoil.

3) Absorb all the global warming.

4) Act as a weather radar by painting the weather. Painting as in "drawing new weather", not as in "recording the current weather".

5) Make the RWR beep, as the radar beam hits the transmitting A-10 after circumnavigating the planet... or possibly the entire curved space-time continuum.

6) ...

7) ...

This is where you put the radar when your nose is occupied:

The only acceptable alternative to the GAU would be the ABL.

 

or maybe the M102 105 mm howitzer from the AC130 gunship...

Like I said previously, use your rudder trim to bring it back into view.. it works for me.

 

The Warthog has a 90% mission success rating in our current conflict. I think we should consider the fact that there's something available today that allows better search and acquisition of ground targets than the conventional ground radar.

It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm
