MTFDarkEagle Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 The A-10A still remains a FC aircraft but just upgraded visuals. Don't count on it I'd say. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
Jona33 Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 no. only available on the A10C. :thumbup: A-10A+ was capable of using the litening on station 3/9. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
blkspade Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 There is the also the fact that FC3 allows you to equip it on the A10-A, there just isn't any way to interact with it. http://104thphoenix.com/
oniellnz Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 I was just asking the question if someone from ED could answer. In a future patch, we are getting a new cockpit and flight model. The A-10A that we can fly can be equipped with the Litening Pod. The SU-25T has a targeting pod in the nose that works. Are we going to get the system to use the Litening pod on the A-10A?

oniellnz Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 Not going to happen. The Mav's are your pod. How can you say that if you are not part of the ED team. When FC3 first came out in beta, there was no indication we were getting a new model for the SU-27, or new cockpits for the 27 / 25 /A-10 etc, or a new flight model. But we are getting those. - Have the new SU-27 model now. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Shaken, stirred, snap frozen - twice, turned into a snowman and shaken some more.
71st_Mastiff Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I for one would love for it to be available for the A10A, it shouldnt be to hard to port that over. But your changeing the scope of the FC3, granted the other weapons would need to be programed over too. Then they would need to program the MFD into.. So I'm pretty sure it could be done.. But at what cost? :joystick: "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

Grimes Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 It is likely outside the scope of FC3. AI A-10A can use and benefit from the pod. Players can put it on their wing, but it won't be functional. Unless someone makes a DCS: A-10A, I doubt you will see it implemented, and even then the feature wouldn't be filtered down to the FC A-10. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

blkspade Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Actually I can't see why it would be outside of the scope of FC3. Putting it there for the sake of the omniscient AI seems a bit pointless, as they aren't bound to the same limits of visibility as the human player anyway. Using the Su25T as the measuring stick here (pre-DCS world even), we're talking about adding a keypress that manually engages the MFD connected to a pod that the user obviously put on the plane because the plane is capable of using it. It already uses the same primary controls as maverick. http://104thphoenix.com/
