BlackRazor Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 i thought that the A10 avionics was as updated as it was going to get. you mean there's more? if im not mistaken, isn't the JHMCS already incorporated? you would just need the new helmet? The avionics of the A-10C are constantly getting updated, the "suite" we have in the sim is older than the latest suite currently available. 1
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Hajduk, ED are working on Dedis, but there's no specific due date yet, AFAIK. News when appropriate. But be assured that ED wants to make one available.Thanks for the info.

I think according to Paulkri the sim is suite 3 and IRL they're on about six. Something like that. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

We are way farther down the suite line than the 3 that is modeled in the sim, and JHMCS isn't integrated yet... v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
Frogisis Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I would like to state my hope that the Combined Arms addon will be structured in such a way that will result in the absolutely unironic use of the phrase "We can't hold them off much longer." Whether by binding player(s) to a specific ground unit or building or some other kind of mechanic, I think having them be able to be in immanent danger would make things exponentially more fun. 1 For when it goes wrong: Win10x64, GTX1080, Intel i7 @3.5 GHz, 32GB DDR3, Warthog HOTAS, Saitek combat rudder pedals, TrackIR 5 / Vive Pro, a case of Pabst, The Funk
lobo Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I think according to Paulkri the sim is suite 3 and IRL they're on about six. Something like that. Have a look at this ppt. http://www.palmettoroost.org/documents/DARPA_RealWorld_Brief.ppt Slide 18. Recognize anything? Note suite 5.0 is completed and suite 6.0 is shown as late summer 2010. Wonder if any of this will filter down to the our DCS A-10Cs? Also interesting some of the other slides such as #20.

Snoopy Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) FYI...won't say the exact suite version but we're past 6 as well. and an AC-130 would be FUN! Edited November 21, 2011 by Snoopy v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website

GGTharos Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 What for? They're just there to learn the switchology of their new systems, not to simulate flight, AFAIK. They have the real plane for that. Oh man, you'd think they atleast would have given them a trackIR.

SimFreak Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Predator Reaper DTS or DTS AC-130? (also interesting to see Carl Norman of TIS still with links to TFC) Neither. It was teaching something useless IMHO but using DTS A10.
Speed Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 What for? They're just there to learn the switchology of their new systems, not to simulate flight, AFAIK. They have the real plane for that. A TIR at least helps you navigate through the 3D virtual cockpit much more easily, and lets you get your head around to see switches that can be blocked by things like the flight stick or throttle. So a TIR would have been useful even for just learning switchology. Besides... it's the government... you would think they could have afforded that, after spending all the money paying ED for the DTS and buying the computers. It's not like a $150 head tracking system is a lot of money to a government whose national debt now is approaching twice the value of all the gold ever mined in the history of the human race (this is at current gold prices). Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

GGTharos Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 They don't need to. They just need to learn the stick&throttle and MFDs AFAIK. TIR not needed. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Snoopy Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 90% of the pit is the same as an A model, no reason they need TIR when the main items they are learning are the MFCDs... v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
cichlidfan Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 They are training on one aspect of the cockpit which is already right in front of them. Face it, if the stick did not matter then being able to see consoles that are not changed surely was not important. Besides, you don't need all your students leaning all over the place to see what they can see with TIR and going "Wow, this is cool" while they are supposed to be learing stuff!;) ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Anything you put out I buy twice because I have two flight pods to outfit. Every time I fly, I literally find myself saying out loud, "Unbelievable!" Love it, Love it, Love it! U DA BEST :thumbup:

spiral Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 as a matter of fact, there's an episode of Future Weapons in which the reporter is put in a simulated A 10C and the environement is DTS :
GGTharos Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 That is not the DTS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda

spiral Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 well i don't get what ED did then, i mean, if the military already had a simulator, then why buy one from ED?:huh:
