Upgrading some FC3 planes to clicky

Recommended Posts

I'm wondering how hard this would be to do for something like the A10A or maybe the SU25A (assuming its "old" enough). I mean both have the FM's done, and some level of systems modeling. I realize the clickology and maybe a new pit would be needed and probably some re-work on systems, but I'm guessing it would be a decent bit less than a whole new plane?

Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

I’ve heard that most Su-25a data is lost and any further work would have to be from the ground up.

It’s fun to go into the model viewer and see how the newer ones have all the switches animated, just no systems under them.

Eventually I feel they will have to go this route, it will always be a void in their product line, and they will want parity with other MAC aircraft which can be “upgraded”

That's interesting for the SU25A...

 

I'm more interested in the A10A for this route. Seems like it wouldn't be a ton of work, mainly simpler avionics and functionality. Otherwise the 2 planes are pretty similar.

The A10A and F15C pits has the dummy connectors... Not sure if that's just for animations or not.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

A-10A Cockpit has Complete Functionality because it was supposed to be a DCS Module before the USAF Gave Permission to do the A-10C as a Consumer Project.

Sooo. This could be a real short-list project, cockpit works, FM is good, weapons are GTG, I think the hud symbology is largely accurate, all thats needed is the rest of the systems modeling which I "think" should be very similar to the A10C for everything except weapons/comms/INS. And from the sound of it you guys should already have the docs for it.

Shame. Sounds like it would be pretty easy to do.

Even with the A10C being available, it would be nice to see a fully clickable A10A as a module
