jeffyd123 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I guess that the real A10 doesnt have a parking brake... so be it. In real life, the ground crew puts on chocks.... got it. But in the sim the plane moves around a lot if there is wind or whatever and there is no way to stop the plane.... yes its irritating and yes it should have a brake to compensate for the ground crew not being able to put down chocks. PLEASE PUT THIS IN A FUTURE PATCH.... thanks Jeff 1 i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueRunner Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I vote chocks and thus intercom comms with your ground crew as well! With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napa Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I vote chocks and thus intercom comms with your ground crew as well! There are comms with the ground crew (refuel, rearm and repair). And the option for instructing the ground crew to place and remove chocks should clear this problem as well.

I know there's comms with the GC already, what I meant was that they should just add the chocks option and you control that then with GC comms.

Agg Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Chocks would be nice indeed, the more interaction with the ground crew, the better ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) I vote chocks and thus intercom comms with your ground crew as well! Me too...a simulated launch wouldn't be hard to do IMO with a crew chief on a headset/comm cord. No parking brake, I understand some things we can't do in the sim that we do real world everyday but parking brakes, that's a big negative to me. Chocks could easly have a trigger to be removed (say when you request clearance to taxi to the active) or installed (when you request rearm, refuel, or ground power). But, I'm not a programmer so I don't know how much code that would require but it would add to the realism of the game. +1 to comms to ground crew asking for chocks to be removed.. great idea. (i do have a toggle on my HOTAS as a parking break.. so i have my own chocks!) Launch varies slightly from unit to unit but at Moody we launch with one crew chief (same with recovery) and we are on the headset until the pilot is ready to taxi. Most go like this: Pilot: "Chief, you can pull cholks." I (crew chiefs) put the ladder up and close the door (F69) then take out the chalks on the (pilots) right tire first then the (pilots) left, walk to the comm cord panel (F71) tell the pilot to have a safe flight and I'll see him/her when they get back, disconnect the comm cord and close F71. I then take my positiong in the front of the ACFT (side varies on the direction they will be turning when taxing out of the spot) and wait for him/her to give the signal to run up the engines. We stand at attention while giving the Stop/hold brakes marshalling signal with our arms. The pilot will then give us the signal they are ready to taxi and we give them the cholks out then the run up signal followed by the taxi foward signal: Most times we don't need to direct them to turn left or right but if we do its: Once we don't need to marshal them anymore we "wave them off" (direction depends on side you are marshalling from) followed by a salute Edited March 9, 2011 by Snoopy 3 v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 ......followed by a salute You salute your aircrew?? That's a really bad idea, you'll end up making them think they are important. ;) But hey, I can't even get my head round the crew chief concept. On Topic: It would be excellent to have realistic ground operations in the sim, and the same goes for ATC. You never know what ED has up their sleeves (NO, we mere testers don't either! ;)), but if the guys can do as good a job with see off comms/ATC, and dare I say it AWACS (you listening guys ;)) as they did with the JTAC the future is looking good.

RogueRunner Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I think we are sometime away from active/visible ground crew around the aircraft but the invisible one for chocks ala refuel and rearm should be relatively easy to implement.

sobek Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hey Jeff doesn't the 'emergency brake' on the left console double as a parking brake? No, it just switches the brake system from the left to the right hydraulic system. Absolutely no parking brake on the A-10. 1 Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa!
