mavyalex Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Hello, I know it is possible to simulate engine and hydraulic failures with the mission editor, however I would like to know if you would be interested in begin able to simulate major wing destruction . For example at X time, simulate a right wing blown off (presumably by AAA or SAM). This way I could create realistic missions based on my current novel about Warthogs in the first 1991 Gulf War. I know it would be odd to have a wing blown off without an actual missile hitting it, but what's interesting is how the pilot would react in this scenarion and then we would have a common situation to compare betwenn fellos DCS: Hog "drivers" (I'm getting used to the A-10 community vocabulary :-) or shouldI say RF0A-10G pilots? :-) Damn I wish I was an A-10 pilot!

sebihepp Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Well, I also think this would be a very nice feature. You can make much better training missions with simulated failures. But there should also be system failures, for example: fuel leak, oxygen failure, generator failure... of course only the ones, which are already implemented in the game-engine.

However, if you're under the age of 30 and have 4-year degree - u can apply for OTS (Officer Training School) then apply for UPT (Under-Graduate Pilot Training) and hope to get assigned to A-10's... Of course, that's info that I know of from the 80's [early 90's] -- not sure if requirements have changed since then. But, there's always the chance....

kingpinda Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 bah.. I just did the mission defend the village... had a furious amount of kills and was diving in again to take out some bmp's. Mybe my speed was to high and levelling out to hard or the buggers really did land a nice shot which tore away half my right wing. Anyway... Trimming and staring at my wing on fire I was lining up for landing. Was hard to get the trim properly but all went good and with landing gear out and even flaps I thought. Yeah I'm gonna do this!!! Then something came to mind.. I had bombs still hanging under my wings. I pressed the external jettison thingy... Bam Chrash! Not the plane but the game :p ACK! hehe
