ENO Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Eh guys- Very quickly... what is the pod identified in this photo? And I'm not asking because I know and am testing you- I literally just don't know. I've seen it in a few photos now and I'm confounded. EDIT: Have learned from the thread and its contributors that it is in fact an SUU-25 flare dispenser.

sobek Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 gonna try a storage canister. On a combat mission? :huh: Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
joey45 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 You don't know where and when the photo was taken The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

ENO Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 I was thinking storage initially as well but the GBU38s (or lookalikes) and rockets sort of spoke against that possibility. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
Aginor Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) perhaps a FACE pod? (AN/ARC-235) EDIT: Something similar, not the one I wrote above, that one looks different. EDIT2: I think I might have been on the right track, check this out: http://warthogcombatloadouts.blogspot.de/2008/10/a-10-thunderbolt-ii-and-anarc-235-face.html EDIT3: Or maybe not. Perhaps it is a SUU-25 flare dispenser? (Can't post the photo link I found for some reason, sorry.) Edited October 5, 2013 by Aginor DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
ENO Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 That's definitely in the ballpark. Here is another image that I was talking about where it looks a lot like the one you mention above...

sobek Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 You don't know where and when the photo was taken I certainly know that there's live ordnance on that plane. You think they carry Mk-82s on ferry missions? ;) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
PalpableGlint2 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 you can find out if you try a test mission on a test flight. you can edit the mission and your aircraft's loadout. the slots you're looking for are in #3 and #9. personally, I'm not up to finding this out myself (and only just found out there was a minor match to the game at the moment, so IDK if it works this time around). so, I don't know yet.
ENO Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Yeah I'm not asking as a game pertinent question- it's more for another project that I'm working on and if anyone asks I'd like to be able to say what it is.

ENO Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 In case anyone is interested in why I was asking and what project I was talking about... A few photos of early "sketches." Below are photos of my GF (Callsign "Sweetest"- yes, she flies DCS A-10C) in the initial stages of adorning the front wall of our garage with this monumental aircraft. She's a professional artist, so I'm looking forward to seeing what she manages. I'm her "technical" advisor... lol... meaning YOU GUYS are her technical advisor! Cheers guys, and thanks again for the input. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Wow!!! she got skills! 1 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.
ENO Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 Shading and colour are her true specialities... I'm pretty excited to see this develop. "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
Milli Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 How in hells name did you find a girl who flies the dcs a-10c!? You lucky, lucky ba****d. :thumbup: Regards, Milli
NRG-Vampire Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) cool :) :D warthog in your garage :thumbup: only two suggestions: dont paint the bash to the nose and close the refueling door Edited October 6, 2013 by NRG-Vampire
ENO Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) lol thanks milli- I agree! On a side note- I know that wing type antenna visible in the photo behind the cockpit is for a radio that isn't available in DCS... but for the life of me I can't remember what the rectangular box like structure is between the engines- Can someone help me out? Wonder if it's an intake for the APU? Edit: Disregard- I stumbled into the answer looking at something else. I guess it's the intake for the cooling system.

PalpableGlint2 Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Umm...what? open DCS World click Mission Editor (use any mission really, even an empty one) find your flight, or place it somewhere (like an airstrip) click your flight for the flight editor (if the window is not already open) click the drop down menu next to 'Type' (which is 'aircraft type'). select A10C. on the bottom where the icons are, click the second one (the second to the left. this will open up the screen with the outline of the aircraft, which also labels the slots. slots #3 and #9 are where the pods in question are located. the bottom of that is the list of different loadout combinations (I haven't counted how many at default, but there's more listed when you scroll down) select the right one (if you're feeling lucky) save, and exit editor. open mission and view your A10C aircraft.

ENO Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Eh guys... just a quick update. Still in the "filler" stage and some of the lighting is a tad off (had different light sources causing differences that didn't become apparent until too late) Anyway, she's pretty stoked out about and I'm very proud of her so I wanted to show off the progress a little!
