DESCRIPTION :

======================

 

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). Commonly referred to by its nicknames "Warthog" or "Hog", its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter that was effective at attacking ground targets. The A-10 was designed for close-in support of ground troops, close air support (CAS), providing quick-action support for troops against helicopters, vehicles, and ground troops. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft that has served in the USAF that was designed solely for CAS. Its secondary mission is to provide forward air controller – airborne (FAC-A) support, by directing other aircraft in attacks on ground targets. Aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.

 

The A-10A single-seat variant was the only version produced, though one pre-production airframe was modified into the YA-10B twin-seat prototype to test an all-weather night capable version. In 2005, a program was started to upgrade remaining A-10A aircraft to the A-10C configuration with modern avionics for use of precision weaponry. The U.S. Air Force had stated the F-35 would replace the A-10 as it entered service, but this remains highly contentious within the Air Force and in political circles. With a variety of upgrades and wing replacements, the A-10's service life may be extended to 2040.

In the 1980s, Germany was the front line of the Cold War. Countless people were preparing for the world war that might happen on land, sky and sea."Fulda Gap" was one of the entrances for Soviet and Warsaw's troops to Western Europe. But there was no war, and the Cold War ended.

The first A-10A skin pack, "Over the Fulda Gap," tells a known or unknown story of A-10A pilots flying in the sky at the end of the Cold War.

Little history about Detachments

"As Firewill's reference advisor I'll mention a few things. You may not have ever heard or seen A-10s with the SB, NV, AN or LM tailcodes. That's due to the fact that at the time the higher ups at the USAFE Headquarters and Pentagon considered basing A-10s at the detachment locations instead of rotating aircraft from the Twin Bases every 6 months. For about a month some A-10s recieved the tailcodes mentioned, however after about a month it was found to be too costly to permanently base A-10s at the locations due to needing funds for other projects such as modernizing Rhein Main and Ramstein's alert facilities. The tailcodes were removed and replaced with the WR tailcodes we're all fimiliar with. Soon after Ahlhorn and Leipheim ceased A-10 detachment operations and Norvenich followed leaving Sembach as the sole A-10 detachment at the very end of the Cold War." - Shawn Semzock

Thanks, and already F-16 can lase the target with built-in laser designator(since latest update)

A-10A can't lase the target but can see the laser target and throw the LGB because A have Pave Penny. but A-10C, will can be self-lase with targeting pod(LITENING and Sniper XR)

[themaster303 22]

great addon mate.

 

two things:

 

1. the pod-camera, cant be used with mouse. mouse is stearing the plane.

2. the canopy is very milky, especially on the side and in a 90 degree angle.

if you use track ir5 its nealy impossible fly sideways and look at the ground.

 

testen further, really like it.

 

thx for your work !!

[ab_luca 24]

thanks for sharing this new plane!

I have to report that @ACE3 don t work , it spawn with 0 ammo of the gau8...

can't try mighty gau because i dont have it...the standard is very good (destroy tanks!)

[Masnooper 42]

Good, I like it's flight model. It doesn't stall easily.

But a question. Why every bomb is kinda smart bomb?!

All you have to do is pressing "R" toward enemy vehicles and release a bomb. Not matter what kind of bomb it is. 10 times R+Fire = 10 enemy vehicle destroyed.

Even dumb bombs lock and follow targets even if they move!!!

One question from me

Hhow schould the SUU-25 Flare Dispensers been used becaus they did not work last time I tried them in the editor they just worked like normal FFAR's with HE warhead.

[bars91 956]

Congrats! The late 80s - late 90s USAF with your stuff is really rounded up as far as small fixed wings go  :)

One question from me

Hhow schould the SUU-25 Flare Dispensers been used becaus they did not work last time I tried them in the editor they just worked like normal FFAR's with HE warhead.

its working for me. and if having trouble with weapon, please leave reply on AWS(Standalone Thread) not A-10.

 

Congrats! The late 80s - late 90s USAF with your stuff is really rounded up as far as small fixed wings go  :)

A-10 Warthog beta 1.01

FIR AWS US - AirWeaponSystem US/NATO

[Bamse 223]

Hey Firewill. Awesome release!

 

It flies beautifully, sounds good and looks good. Cudoz man, good job.

 

I found a few small things, not sure if on purpose or bugs, but I thought I'd post them anyway:

1+2+3.  Reported in the AWS thread

4. Station 7 and 5 can only load 5 Mk82 Snakeyes even if the selection says 6. One bomb is missing per pylon (the inner one in the back). Regular GPB's load 6 as it says.

 

Question on the upcoming C-version. Will the C-version be capable of carrying GBU-39/B or GBU-53/B? Some sources says it's in development and some says development was canceled in the fight to keep the A-10 alive for a few more years. I don't know the IRL details, but what's your plan? :)

[Mero 0]

Hi! Tested this a bit today and I love how it flies, shoots, looks and sounds. Like one guy mentioned further up here when you bank left or right the glass over the cockpit whites out, so in turns, or flying upside down you cant see anything but straight forward. I'm guessing its the sun reflecting causing it, but its a big negative for me atleast. The glass itself looks a bit rough, even damaged. More visibility is better :)

 

Thanks for making the best A-10 so far! 

[shrike88 43]

Thanks for the Early release. I will supply you with some feedback on the thread if you want for any issues I experience. Im sure will be a while since you stated you were releasing early due to your schedule getting busy here in the future.

 

Thanks again for your constant support and always great work.
