Daze Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 All the pics I see of real A-10 cockpits, you can see dust, rust, scraped paint etc. I'm wondering if this could be implemented into DCS: A-10C (perhaps someone could make a mod)? I think it would give it a more realistic and used look. What do you think? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] First to Fight, First to Strike.
FatSlapper Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Take a good look at Your pit and all the objects in it. I think they did a good job of not supplying a "new" pit, though I too have seen mostly heavier "worn" pits.
Snoopy Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Honestly it's different from jet to jet....but yeah, although DCS "aged" pit panels trey are still a lot cleaner than most of our real jets. v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
hayesj23 Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I think the cockpit level of wear and tear is fine. The thing that bugs me is that the cockpit doesn't have any damage modeling. You could have both wings blown off and both engines on fire but the cockpit is still in perfect visual condition.

I'd think that if something managed to damage the pit, the pilot would have bigger issues.

You could have both wings blown off and both engines on fire but the cockpit is still in perfect visual condition. The cockpit is incased in a titanium "bathtub" to protect the pilot. Now broken windshield, that would be cool [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sierra99 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 All the pics I see of real A-10 cockpits, you can see dust, rust, scraped paint etc. I'm wondering if this could be implemented into DCS: A-10C (perhaps someone could make a mod)? I think it would give it a more realistic and used look. What do you think? If someone wanted to be real slick... they could model cockpits that were different depending on if it was an Active Duty or Guard aircraft. Active duty birds are "Well maintained"... but the maintainers are barely given enough time to to whats required let alone all the little things they would like because of the "do more with less" attitude. Guard Birds usually look like they just rolled off the assembly line... (Yes there are exceptions to every rule) A few years back I took a student out to look at a KC-135R from a Guard Unit. The Crew Chief had been assigned to the airplane for 24 years straight. My student couldn't believe a 40 year old airplane looked better than out 22 year old KC-10. (Course the -135 hadn't spent as much time in the desert as the 10 had.)

poschi Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Thanks for the photos. Seems that the A10c has a newer communication panel.
Abbath Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 What is the yellow paddle used for on the stick? Below the picky button? I didn't know what it should be mapped as so I have it set for NVG. AFAIK it is a SAS emergency-off. You are welcome to my DCS A-10 server "Ugly Bastards".
Sierra99 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 WOW... Did somebody leave the canopy open during a dust storm and then hose everything off with ditch water? If I were buying this plane I'd check with insurance companies and make sure it wasn't totaled after a flood! (L@@K For Sale, Like New... New Interior Carpet!) :megalol: (And I think there is a Strawberry Jelly Stain on the O2 Regulator) Great Pics paulrkiii... Its amazing they can look sooooo good on the outside and soooo natty on the inside.

poschi Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Please don't ask about a patch to update this in DCS! :P :P I'm not asking but hoping:P After a little search I found out that it was discussed earlier in this forum. That is the control panel for the new AN/ARC-210 secure voice radio stack. I asked Wags about it and was told this would not be implemented- at least not in the first release. With a cost in the billion range, they are in short supply and are not in every A-10 anyway. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=816351 But for now there are more important things to do for ED.
