A-10C after 2.5.5. update.

Yeah. I was able to hear that very particular sound yesterday in a video.

It wouldn't bad to have it in the sim (including the short smoke at power up)!

I'm quoting myself.

Thank you!! I may now diminish into the west. I thought I was taking crazy pills with everyone focusing on the audio, and here I was absolutely certain that this is not the same plane I was flying yesterday.

 

 

I can finally have an AOA around 10° without stalling immediately. This really should be a bigger deal, and I really want patch notes on what they did to it.

Has anyone found any documented evidence of this? Im reading of opinions confident it has changed and others saying no difference. Its a little hard to believe they would have intentionally altered the flight model without any mention of it, BUT we've seen lots of unintended changes so its believable.

Also getting random "pull up, pull up" warnings and GCAS brake X... and no I am not flying towards terrain when I get this :P just normal level flight around 2000'

Anybody with messed up controls? I had lots of duplicates.Axis was inverted for vertical slew Weird thing is after i deleted the config folder still was inverted.I don't use target software btw.

Don’t care for the new engine sound. I’ve heard vacuum cleaners with more balls.

Feels maybe like there’s even a little less thrust than their used to be. In 2.5.4, with our usual range load out (70% fuel, TACTS Pod, TGP, 2XTAGMs, 4 X BDU-50s), I could climb at 10 degrees to 8000’ and not have to lower the nose until I reached 8000’ at around 210kts. Now I have to lower the nose to five degrees passing through 6000’ to maintain 200kts.

It’s DCS where the only constant is change...

Happens quite a bit with upgrades. The duplicate assignments I mean.

I've been flying A10 for a long time. Normal targeting by TGP. Then the MAV camera is guided to the chosen target (China Forwart Long). The camera is blocking but I do not want to react after pressing TMS Forward. There is no blinking "+". A dozen or so approaches at different heights and without results.

I’ve had this happen before the last Open Beta update. The fix for me was to go to select another weapon, then reselect the MAV, TMS forward, and then it fired.

I've just tried using AGM-65D, GBU-12 and CBU-105, using the same sequence of commands as I did for years, and all work fine.

As to the axis bindings duplicated after update, I got rid of that problem a while ago through a simple edit of the files "default.lua", "Joystick - HOTAS Warthog.lua" and "Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua".

I did this for all aircraft I use. (not for the sleepers).

Snoopy..........Keep in mind a pilot will be wearing a helmet. How did you simulate that when recording it with a mic?

You do not. You can either wing it by applying a lowpass filter or measure the attenuation of the helmet with an artificial head microphone. You can then convolve the unattenuated audio with the transfer function you measured to get the attenuated audio.

The good thing is with the APU being so loud now is that I won't ever miss to switch it off again. Also I am more inclined to watch the engine gauges when spooling up as I am supposed to anyway.

Is it just me, or did they buff the GAU-8, or change the damage model? I haven't flown the A-10C much for a while, but yesterday I took it for a spin and ran down at a MBT and did 50% damage with 1 burst. Normally I would do something like 10%. Next two bursts were about 25% damage each. Was I just on target, or has something maybe improved?

Also totally anecdotal, but I did two staffing runs last night and was surprised how much damage was done. Seemed much more like what you see in youtube videos.

That’s good to know. I’ve avoided strafing tanks in the past for that very reason!

I sure HOPE they fixed it, this has been a sore point for a long time. I have seen dozens of A-10 strafing runs and the impacts are much more concentrated than what we get in the sim, and they are devastating, even against tanks.
