lobo Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Pushing the limits with the amazing DCS A-10C Warthog. The question: With the wind blowing 100 knots directly across the runway can the A-10C make a safe landing and takeoff with out suffering any damage?

Jester Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 All it needed was "Danger Zone" as you did the takeoff <SALUTE!> :thumbup:
winz Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Nice one :) The Valley A-10C Version Revanche for FC 3
Irregular programming Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 That was way better than my blackshark landings.
bartleby Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Now I see where they get the lower figure for A-10 landing rolls. Nice work. DCS Wiki! :book:
OutOnTheOP Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 First thought: "100mph straight across the runway? Hell, you could approach the runway from the side and make a 30mph touchdown!". ...halfway through video: "you don't want to land this way; let's try plan B". Me: *highfives* :thumbup:

Boberro Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Nicely done, I remember I made maximum wind in FC 1, brick could start from about 100-150 meters and missiles were flying really curved way lol :] Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Malleus Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Now I see where they get the lower figure for A-10 landing rolls. My thoughts exactly! :D @OP: Nice video. :)
Seanner Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 If you like this sort of thing I recommend MS Flight Sim X....put a 747 on the aircraft carrier with 180 kt headwind and it becomes a VTOL. It's also fun (and easier) to fly around with the C172 in an 80 kt headwind, you can fly in reverse, forward, whatever..try looping the tower continuously..

bartleby Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 :D Neat skin in there. Is that available anywhere? DCS Wiki! :book:

Tornado_Pilot Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Didn't know the A10 hat VTOL capabilities. Nice one..
Rahvin Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 :D How did that open canopy not fly off for the ship-landing? Do they use groundspeed instead of airspeed? Or does the canopy actually not disattach at take-off/landing speeds?
AlphaOneSix Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 The canopy currently ignores physics, you can fly with it open if you want.
Bushmanni Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 For me the canopy took a pretty explosive take-off after opening the canopy during flight.canopy opened.trk DCS Finland: Suomalainen DCS yhteisö -- Finnish DCS community -------------------------------------------------- SF Squadron
RigorMortis Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 @ OP, great video, thanks. LOL. If any of you have flown aircraft in real life (me only a Cessna 172), that reminded me of a 40+ knot head wind landing I had. Literally stopped in less than 50 feet on a 2500 ft runway.
