Fubar512 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I recently sent Dave (USAFMTL) a few tweaks that I'd whipped up for both of SF2E's A-10A models. Well, to make a long story short, he all but threatened me with violence, if I did share them with everybody First, look at the images. Notice something missing from the "before" (TW default) images? Before (TW Default) After (Tweaked) I've also edited both files to use a more realistic turbofan drone, allegedly a recording of an actual A-10. It sounds especially convincing in a fly-by view.

Fubar512 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Fubar - I am now a 'fan' of yours... Perhaps I should have made them counter-rotating? Quote
jomni Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Looking at the released DCS A-10 screenshots and you can't see the turbofans as well. Maybe that is the case in real life (unless you fully look back). Can any real A-10 pilots confirm? http://www.simhq.com/_air13/air_425a.html Quote
+Brain32 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Umm don't judge by the game screenshots, especially not the 6DOF ones. I believe you would have to sit left of the HUD with your head between your knees to get this view in the real plane lol Quote
EricJ Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Speaking with Matt Wagner weeks ago, they do talk to real pilots in developing this sim. Quote

Can any real A-10 pilots confirm? That's a really intelligent statement. Let' see, one can see the horizontal stabs right where they join the vert stabs, but they can't see 1.5+ meter diameter engine nacelles sitting in front and above them? And you're forming this opinion based on the distorted views of a flight simulator of questionable authenticity? Ya think you'd miss these from the pit? Besides, a former A-10 and F-4 driver's no further away than my Outlook address book. Quote
