A-164 Trim/Y-Axis Broken

[SpamIrwin 10]

Try and fly the A-164 and the nose will keep pulling down.

Check the Air/Sea HUD and its position is incorrect as well which makes me think the Center trim is incorrectly placed.

This creates a massive problem when doing CAS runs as the aircraft is not stabilized and your cross-hairs bounce all over the place.

Yep, just played myself and noticed it too.

Wanted to complain about it here and found this thread :D

Unlike the mod version though as AI it provided killer CAS :)

Found one way to counter the on-going pulling down of the nose, Put your flaps down, It will slow the aircraft big time but it will stabilize it. The Air Land Hud is still off however and wont stop that.

Yeah that pull is pretty terrible. :(

I don’t want to put my flaps down because as far as I’m concerned that old A-10 is feeling pretty strained as far as power and speed is concerned. Both are crucial in making an escape after a run. (Climbing fast and getting out of there.) The overall controls just feel kind of wonky.

I find it funny that a future version of the A-10 doesn’t have a simple stabilization computer to keep it flying straight and level. :/

Hopefully it’s just a bug and will be fixed soon….. I can’t even check my map without worrying about diving into a mountain.

Also.... Does the engine noise loop get on anyone else's nerves? After about 5 mintues of flying I want to mute the sound. :/

This on soooo many levels, It was almost impossible on Taki due to the cliffs, I manage to do it but several times I opened my map as I was getting Cords for the Targets and came back in and I was in a nose dive into the cliff.

I'm finding the plane very hard to fly, trying to keep it in the air is a pain, you have to nose dive to get some speed , but the plane itself when you get it level is nose heavy,

it wants to drop, thinking its a combo of my controls and the plane, but the A10 in aram2Co was alot easier to fly.

In regards to my question - "Does the engine noise loop get on anyone else's nerves?" Right now it sounds like it has a delayed pulse engine or something.

This is what I think it should sound like.

....A steady roar with maybe just a little bit of a turbofan whine or at least take that awful pulse noise out and just make it a constant roar.

Shouldn't really be any "roar" at all, except from the front. High-bypass turbofans like the TF34 are relatively quiet - most of what you hear should be the grind & whine of the fans.

And yes, the FM of the A-164 is an unmitigated disaster. Gadzooks.

Yeah, really need the good old A-10 flight model back!!!

Well I'm only talking about the pilot's perspective.

In the cockpit - I'd say a muffled roar with a fairly loud whine.

3rd person (Outside above and behind the engines) I'd say it would more than likely get pretty roary...

As for passing by..Yes I do hope they get the sound to match the video. Far= Nothing , Close=Slight roar, Overhead=roar, Passing= Quick fading roar and then.....Dat whistle! WOO WOOOOOO haha :P

In the cockpit, with earplugs and headphones, there's not much engine noise for the pilot at all. And again, high-bypass turbofans aren't that loud, and certainly don't "roar". The TF34 is the military variant of the CF34, a turbofan commonly found on regional jets like the CRJ200.

I don't mean roar as in the same loud way that the GE F110 jet engines on an F-14 Tomcat rattles windows and vibrates your chest when it does a low level full afterburn turn.

Yes High bypass engines are MUCH quieter yet they do still roar with air rushing through them. I'm not sure if you watched the first video but that loud static noise as the plane is coming towards the camera and passing is what I'm referring to (0.07 – 0.11 And a few times after that.)

As long as the throttle is forward that sound isn't going to go away the closer you get to it. (E.G. 3rd person, above and behind the engines.) The low speed air mixing with the high speed air makes it quieter yet that high speed air is still making some noise.

At slow speeds yes the engines whine due to the blades, at higher attack speeds, they still have the faint roar.

I live next to an airbase and used to have them fly over my house about every 3 months. When they had airshows I could go in my backyard and watch them do mock attack runs, when he cuts and turns he would fly right over my house then as well....Hissing roar and a whistle. (As opposed to the Blue Angels pass over which was Nothing but maybe a a faint howl and then a loud roar thanks to the much greater speed.)
