Flamin_Squirrel Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Sensor of Interest. In the A-10C, you have three 'sensors' that can be SOI: The two MFDs and the HUD. Do the targeting pod / mav not count also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Do the targeting pod / mav not count also? Displayed on the relevant MFCD. So yeah, technically they are a SOI if so set.

Actually I've never thought of it that way, but I suppose it is a more accurate description of the way the system operates.

GGTharos Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yep .. the MFCD/HUD are your 'Sensors' in the cockpit, which are containers for your other devices :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinelnic Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Yep .. the MFCD/HUD are your 'Sensors' in the cockpit, which are containers for your other devices :) Being excessively purist, an MFCD/HUD is not a Sensor but a Display or more generically, an Interface. Since they are interfaces to the actual sensors, and they are interchangeable, their denomination as "Sensors" leads to confusion. I can live with that, hopefully, but was wondering if there was some concrete reason to call them "Sensors", considering this is the work of very smart people.

GGTharos Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I wouldn't know. Maybe it's hold-over terminology? Maybe it makes sense because they contain sensors. It struck me as odd at first as well, but once they made clear it's the container and not specifically a sensor, well. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaster454 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Could someone please give a comparison and contrast between SOI (sensor of interest) and SPI (or SPOI, sensor point of interest). I can understand the SOI acronym as applied to the 3 cockpit displays since the display does in effect, become the sensor to the pilot since there is no other convenient way for him/her to interact with the sensor. I don't as of yet understand SPI though.

power5 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 SPI is the target. SOI is the device used to target the target. I assume.

I can understand the SOI acronym as applied to the 3 cockpit displays since the display does in effect, become the sensor to the pilot since there is no other convenient way for him/her to interact with the sensor. I don't as of yet understand SPI though. In general the SOI (HUD,TGP,MAV,TAD) is the sensor you use to designate the SPI. The SPI is the point of interest that your weapons are targeted on and/or other sensors are slaved to. For example your Targeting pod (TGP) spots a target, you lock on and assign that as the SPI. That is now the target that is computed for CCRP and also you can slave other sensors to that SPI (ie a MAV). You use the SOI to Assign the SPI. The SPI is common to all sensors whether they are the sensor of interest or not. Clear as mud huh? Edit:- SPI is the target. SOI is the device used to target the target. I assume. Bingo.

Do you ever loose track of the target due to maneuvering? And! and! can we have multiple SPIs somehow stored in memory, so we can switch between them without having to re-acquire them?

The training videos are great but we could really use some tactics and some offense/defense training as well.

Laud Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I know this has been asked a few times before, but I'm not really sure how to understand the answers: Q: "Will DCS:A-10C be compatible with FC2?" A: "Most probably not!" Now my question is: Is it planned but not sure if it will happen or is it not planned at all? It's important to know for us, to plan the future structures of our squadron.

baton_bb Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hello! I`m highly curious about Targeting Pod (TGP) and fps drops, while We will use Targeting Pod and Maverick (MAV) MFCD. How many fps drops? I hope so, that we would not have any problems, just like We had in FC2, with Shkval in Su-25T. Maybe 64-bit version would allow to save fps drops? Best regards for All!!!!
