WOW lovely cockpit~

isnt the texture come from "Lock On"?

Nice texture

Looking good downloading now!! And that on my birthday.

looks promising, but...

as for the m113, and other stuff, as for csla2... i'll never use it.

Sorry if i sound harsh but i dont get it with this new flavor of the month : encrypting the pbos.

to be honest , this even pisses me off a lot.

Where would be ofp and its community if the pioneers of addon making and scripting had acted like that ?

And as a lot wasnt documented at all, what if ppl had "protected" their little knowledge and not done any tutorials ?

I have a pretty good idea of the answer actually...

Now, ok, i am not forced to use those addons, so i wont, but allow me to voice my opinion out about that, hoping that more and more ppl wont follow this deplorable example.

The more funny part of it being that almost no addons (especially inq's ones) exist from scratch, everyone has learnt from others' work. Now this is pathetic.

Thanx to all the excellent "cooperative" addon makers out there for making ofp what it is. Hope you keep the good spirit alive !

Preach it brotha! I thought the encryption bit was a flavor of the month a while back. For some time I haven't seen any. Although it seems Inquisitor does it a lot... and yeah CSLA.

It's unfair, but eh. OFP has a huge end-user community compared to many games. So we still have variety for our personal customization pleasure. Let's just hope this doesn't turn into a trend.

Beautiful A10 by the way. I noticed it looks a lot larger than the BIS one. More to scale I'd imagine.

The drawdistance in the cockpit screenie is pretty far. I'd imagine clipping along in an a-10 you'd hardly see things before you flew right over them otherwise. It might make CAS a tricky business If your viewdistance was knocked down a few. Then there's the whole lag issue.

Nice, if you've got the machine for it. Personally I couldn't fight the compulsion to ignore all that and just put a gajillion guys on the map.

humm the dl i got is a white A10, and whats up with that 50 round burst I cant stand when they put burst mode in addons. Its a very nice job though

[Bobcatt666 0]

Nice I live in Tucson where A10s operate, and the gun sound is great, however I suffer a little lag when engaging with the 30mm cannon. its at its worse flying it with the outside view on. Letting the AI fly it is not as bad. Thanks for doing the plane still, can't wait till its optimized for the folks like me who have gimpy computers.

[Baphomet 0]

You think it will be? This is inquisitor we're talking about.

He obviously enjoys making pcs work very hard.

me either. i depboed it and fixed that for myself. gave it alot more ammo thou for fun oh and i equiped her with ECM's too. i dont like dying

Lighten up man. It's not done to keep you out. We do it because it optimizes the addon in file size, texture compression, and load times. (though there's not much you can do about this stuff texture-wise if you're using Jpeg textures).

That's even more of an absurd attitude you're sporting if you consider the fact that it's entirely possible to unencrypt them.

AND. Furthermore, even if you don't have the tools or the knowhow to unencrypt them yourself, I have yet to run into a supposedly 'uncooperative' addonmaker who isn't perfectly willing to send you an MLOD model or an unbinned CPP if you email them and ASK for it.

As for Binned configs, the reason you don't see them more often right now is because binarize doesn't deal well with configs with eventhandlers in them.

The reason why some of you may have the white A-10 instead of the advertised BIS green version is because some of you have INQ's old White A-10 retexture replacement A10 LGB installed.

(this replaces the BIS LGB A-10 textures with his own white ones.  INQ obviously sourced the textures from the BIS library when making this beta model, and if you've changed it with his old A-10 addon -> TA DA!  White A-10... which I think is much cooler anyway)

A little laggy (the sounds I think need tweaking) but the rest is cool.     Ie, GAU-8 smoke, Gau-8 explosions on the ground.  It's a bitch being chased around on foot... desert island with AI packing this bird.  Simply awesome.

Inquisitor you rock, you totally ROCK.

Pics to illustrate rocking-ness.

Very good plane, beautiful cockpit, cant wait to get the version with functional AAM and Bombs

The only thing that its not my cup of tea is the burst duration on the GAU-8 (60 rounds??!!) IMO 20 round bursts would be more than enough..oh, and i find the optics mode a good idea.

[AdmiralKarlDonuts 0]

Suggestions for the next version....

- Shorten the burst for the gun, or have a mode selection for it to toggle between burst and regular modes.

- Please please make a really detailed HUD like the DKM Bronco has!

- Add some mirrors to the cockpit frame.

- Hopefully you're cooking up some nice CBUs for us to use

- Change Betty back to an American voice

- ECM, flares, real ejection seat

- Maybe change the optics view to a close-up of the HUD?

- CCIP for the bombs? (if it's possible)

GJ on the plane dude.

[Gollum1 0]

I like the long burst.

Suggestions: With the BIS Mavericks, you can kill 8 tanks in 8 seconds. It makes the A10 very overpowered, IRL you would require a lock-on and it would take a LOT of time to identify targets and lock on for 8 missiles, so I think at least a 3-second "reload time" would be great.

Also, the HUD idea is nice, and the graphic could be changed since right now the optics are nothing like what you see in 1st-person view. Otherwise, it's very good.

The A10 is the oldest aircraft the US airforce is using next to the C130, it dosn't have mirrors in the cockpit. Or most of the fancey weird things of other aircraft like the FA-18 or even the F16.

My only gripe would be the mild slowdown you get with the plane when doing gun runs. The burst mode on the Avenger, should link the gun firing action to the airbrakes to simulate the recoil effect of the 30mm slowing down the forward. If you fire the gun too long in real life it will stall the aircraft.

Armor values should be raised, an A10 can survive getting hit by say a couple of stingers/grails due to its extra armor and redundant back up systems. The A10 isn't an F16 that will break apart in the sky if it sheads a turbine blade. It can be beat up pretty baddly and limp back to home base.

ECM, chafe, flares and eject seat are a given. But may creat more lag being added. Very nice flight model, can fly with both joystic and keyboard, where the A10 from BIS was not so nice on the joystick at times. Handels about as nicely as some of Footmunches aircraft.

err the A10 does have mirrors in the cockpit, it has been upgraded many times in the past and will probally be updated many times in the future aswell. They didn't just stick to the same plane when it 1st came into service.

An F-16, flying under 10,000 AGL without an extremely good reason is a big No-No in the US and NATO aircraft tactics doctrines.  Of course have  +-1000 ft window for target attacks and regular flight and terrain.

Depending on the circumstances, if an F-16 was caught flying below 10,000 ft AGL in Afganistan or any other major combat zone without a very good reason, he could get an earful from his CO or worse.  (Unexcusable risk of govt. property)

It's the job of SEAD aircraft to take out the medium and high altitude long range SAM's first, so the Precision strike and CAS aircraft can come in fast, hit hard, and be gone in notime.

Time below the 10,000 ft AGL minimum should only be to evade SAM and Airborne threats.

A-10's can fly in the flak nest muck all they want, that's their job.

Why would its age have anything to do with mirrors?

As for the other features....I don't think it's radar is A-A capable, is it? Would there be a way to model that?

I thought the B52 was the oldest

anyway nice airplane good job

I would say so too, the B-52 is from the '50s IIRC.

Edit: Fas.org sez: B-52 '62, A-10 '75.

Yes, the A-10 can defend itself with it's A/A mode for the Avenger cannon.  It also can carry two AIM-9 Sidewinders on one outer hardpoint and equip an ECM pod.

No, the A-10 does not carry a radar.  That would be the easist and probably first electronic equipment shot up to pieces when it gets in a messy situation.

Here's an image of the possible loadouts for the A-10:
