Hi all
Nineline and I have had a conversation with our boss about this video, we have agreed there is lots in the video that made sense and we agreed with.
The team have listened and taken on board all of the feedback ( good and bad ) from the community so we hope that you will see improvement in the future, we will of course pass on any news in our newsletters as usual.
thanks for your support
I don't necessarily agree with X-CHECK about some things in that video but he made some important points that ED needs to look at. But I take that video as constructive criticism. Also, thanks for listening to the community, that's always important. :)
Also, what Yurgon said.

Is there any major difference between the DCS: F/A-18C and DCS: F-16? In terms of development, perhaps new technologies used, etc.
-
Wonder if that's what Europe had in mind with their offer of 'paying for planes to deal with the massive wildfires'
:lol: :lol:

Looking forward to this!
My guess (based on the helmet and cockpit in the attached scene) is that he'll pilot a high-altitude recce bird with son-of-Goose (Lt. Gosling) in the back. They get shot down over Iran, sneak into an IRIAF base and steal a Tomcat to get back home with a fight along the way.
That's more of a Mission: Impossible thing. ;)

Weak trailer. There is nothing impressive about it.
The only good part IMO was when Tom rode the H2. Rest looks nothing but random scenes. CGI (if there is CGI in it) looks decent.
-
Unfortunately, we can't really measure thrust without introducing a lot of variables. Without a developer tool, it's nearly impossible.
Nice job on those tests bbrz! (I will now try to avoid polluting this thread even more - can't test it myself atm).
-
I've only tested the A-10 in clean config so far, but at least in this area she performs according to the manuals (and even better).
I don't know what point you are trying to make. Have you tested the DCS A-10 performance yourself? How do you know that the FM is 'improper' and/or which part of the performance envelope?
I feel like people keep saying/sharing stuff like this without even testing it like it was 100% true. :music_whistling:
Looking forward to seeing what Habu can do for us other than feedback. It's always very important, hopefully, this SME feedback won't be ignored.
-
Looking for HUD/avionics footage with decent quality, anyone? :)

Hopefully this question isn't too tangential, but...... why is there no afterburn capability for the A-10, at least for hastening exit? There's one answer out there that the probability of anyone left to retaliate after a gun run is so low.... but following a strafe or other low-altitude attack, a steep climb can quickly seem sluggish. I wish I could find again the standard exit procedure that minimizes footprint of the plane to ground units, for one of other tactics.
Afterburner is a bad idea because it goes against the whole point of the A-10 engines, which is efficiency. Afterburner is used on fast flying airframes, AB is used in those cases because it provides a very high exhaust gas velocity, as well as additional thrust without increasing the inlet diameter, which is great because no additional drag is created. But afterburner is terrible for efficiency, not only for fuel but also propulsive efficiency.
It's like traction on your car when the wheels spin too fast, you lose traction which results in a bad acceleration. It's more or less the same thing here, unless you're at a decent speed, using AB at slow speeds, which is what the A-10 was designed for, isn't very efficient.
The A-10 is a very draggy airframe, the maximum allowable airspeed is just 450 knots, you wouldn't want to go past that number. The idea behind the A-10 engines is to move a huge mass of airflow but at a slower speed. AB does the opposite, much lower mass flow, but at a very high speed. And according to the Kinetic energy formula, energy is equal to 0.5 * mass multiplied by the square of the speed. I.e, in order to shoot a little mass of airflow out of the exhaust at Mach 2, you need four times the energy.

I wasn't expecting that Ka-50 upgrade, I'm really excited and looking forward to seeing the new Blackshark. That's absolutely amazing.
Thanks!

What's the purpose of this thread?
-
Perfect, can't wait!
-
For me the Apache would be my most anticipated module.
Cobra would be nice, Apache would be even better :)
Or Viper... ;)
-
so our F16 will have GPS module, but not Embedded with INS.
when did EGI make its way onto USAF fleets? HAF manual revision shows they had EGI panel as early as 2003, USAF didn't upgrade to EGI until post 2007?
Wow, I love this pic for some reason.
Looking pretty good.

I don't think it's an issue with the source, but more the levels and the effort put into, or lack thereof, mixing them.
Fixed it for you. And I haven't touched DCS sounds since the Lock-on days. If I, a relatively inexperienced sound modder can improve it, I'm sure you guys could have. :music_whistling:
I'll push it up to the community ASAP.
1. Corrected the intake sounds by replacing it with a custom one and increased the gain to better reflect a Tomcat.
2. Blended the Rear Close and Flyby sounds by decreasing their volume and increasing the cone on the Flyby Side sound to better match the new intake sounds.
3. Reduce the volume of the Front Flyby sound to better reflect not being able to hear the tail pipes so loudly as the aircraft approaches. The original was on all the time and loud at that. Not in the least what one would expect looking at the front of a taxiing Tomcat.
Like I said, it's a levels thing.
This is what a GE F-110 equipped Tomcat should sound like in DCS. At least as close as I could get it. I'm no sound modding expert. So, once I upload it, if anyone wants to take it and run with it, be my guest. Just mention me in the credits so I'll know to download it and replace my version with yours, as I'm sure someone can do a better job than me. I was just so fed up with it I gave it a try today and spent 6 hours dinking with it. I'm okay with the way it turned out. :)
Let me know what you guys think.
That's a billion times better. LOVE IT!
How can I download it? :)

Awesome!
We have many Hornet pilots around here, but I wish we had a bit more of the A-10 community (pilots) with us right here.
Thanks for sharing!

The toughest job on earth: Dealing with people.
Let's calm down guys. Let ED do their thing, then once the module is out, we can discuss whether Y, X or Z is wrong/inadequate, etc. But all this drama (Especially on Hoggit) isn't necessary. :)

That betty is hilariously broken. It really pisses me off.

No matter the gross weight, you can over G with a fully functioning G limiter. If you snatch on the G very quickly, you can command an excessive G faster than the computer can stop you from doing it.
That's exactly what I thought, reminds me of an interview about the F-111 where a pilot mentioned its analogue computers which couldn't keep up with the rate of acceleration of the F-111. :)
-
Yup.
The override is an emergency tool. You basically remove all flight computer safe gards for over G protection.
Asking the flight computer for the ability to over G the airframe can be quit disturbing. BFM is violent in the real plane.
- hope this helps
Very nice posts, Lex. Thanks for sharing them.
By the way, have you noticed how the G-Limiter often fails to protect the airplane from exceeding the maximum load factor even when the weight exceeds 32,000 pounds? (according to NATOPS, from my understanding, there is no G-Limiter at or below 32k).
Is that actually accurate? i.e you can still over G the aircraft, up to 10G even when the G-Limiter is working 100%.

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing but what I try to do is, as I drop the bomb I have some time to do whatever I want until the laser fires itself at the target, so as soon as the drops out of the aircraft I turn away from the target as much as it allows, it could be from 20 to 45 degrees depending on how much time I have until the laser fires, then I place the aircraft on a bank, making sure it's not going to mask the TGP (this requires some experience), then I don't have to fly away to employ another bomb.
I think your example could work well. Have you tried it?
-
Apparently, the building got its fire suppression system triggered by the collision.
-
Looks like the pílot ejected, hopefully, he's alright.
Also, what about the hydrazine?
-
depends on point of view
ALWAYS from the pilot's point of view.

That's an awesome attitude coming from ED, I've got to say it.
