jocko417 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I've seen screenshots with various panels open on the aircraft, how do I get this to happen in the sim, I've tried the rearm bit but nothing happens. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tornado_Pilot Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It happens when you call for a repair... Then those panels will automatically open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REL Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Would be cool to have to remember to close the ladder as part of the startup sequence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically you can't close the ladder from the cockpit, your crew chief has to do it for you. That being said, I wish the ladder door and W79 (single point refueling receptacle) were open when you first get to a jet (ramp start). v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA I've found the easiest way is fly low over the triple A guns, they always seem to open most of my panels for me. :music_whistling: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]HP d5000T/Vista SP1/Intel® Core 2 Quad CPU Q9490 @ 2.66 Ghz 3.00 GB Ram/32 bit OS/Nvidia GeForce 9500GT.

Scratchy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Excuse my ignorance... but how do you call for a repair? I've not seen this radio option either. However, being damage during a flight, landing and then shutting down on the ramp you'll see it...eventually. In fact, your plane gets put on jacks, the access doors open and your crew chief starts yelling at you: "What are you doing!" :D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Intel i7-8700K @4.9Ghz | 32Gb memory DDR4 | Evga GTX 1080ti | Saitek Eclipse keyboard | Logitech Mx518 | CH Fighterstick, Pro Throttle/Pedales | TIr5 | Win10 x64 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragged Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think the repair guys forgot to close a few panels.. Do they say something when they are done with your aircraft? I mean, I didn't order them to do anything when I landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Roto Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 IIRC, it takes three minutes to repair your a/c. Also, don't shut down - ask for ground power. That way you won't lose CDU alignment.

hog_driver111th Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It'd be great if, like in the one mission where the crew chief starts running onto the ramp, you could have a guy that comes over to the jet to close the doors. Even if you don't see him physically doing it, just him moving from spot to spot to do it would be great eye candy from in the cockpit.

WildBillKelsoe Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Why is the ladder door even included? we can't go out the regular way can we? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

Snoopy Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Why is the ladder door even included? we can't go out the regular way can we? Well for me it is because of the door art option and it's a big historical thing for A-10s. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostiken Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) Well for me it is because of the door art option and it's a big historical thing for A-10s. Leave it to the US Air Force to go from highly artistic, stylized nose arts in WW2 to a tiny little painting inside a panel that has to be closed for flight... we had some guys paint the underside of a speed brake with the squadron colors and logo on the OG aircraft and they got in trouble with that. The best part is, the USAF officially just talks non-stop about heritage even though they piss on and draft new regs every week to ban anything even remotely morale-building. Hell, I'm surprised there's even A-10 squadrons that can still paint the tusks on... though that doesn't change the fact that most of them cannot even if they once did.

lubey Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I found that the electric power would momentarily cut out when moving from AC generators to APU gen, so always used ground power. This was in 1.1.0.8 though so probably isn't true any more.
