    A-10C WartHog II is Coming



    ***An Updated version of The WartHog is Coming***

    Planned Features

    "
    Got this from Hoggit,Original A-10C WartHog II Post that was Deleted…"Updated Cockpit
    An updated cockpit with a new 3D mesh and high-resolution textures that
    also includes a weathered textures option. This cockpit will also be modified
    to include the removal on the TISL panel and the addition of the Scorpion
    Helmet-Mounted Cueing System (HMCS) and ARC-210 radio control heads to
    match current-day A-10Cs.
    Add HMCS Control Head
    On the right console aft of the ILS controls, the HMCS control head was
    added. This panel only has a single control for ON, OFF, and BAT (battery)
    power. Almost all HMCS control is done through the HOTAS and STAT page.
    Remove Target Identification Set Laser (TISL) Control Panel
    With the addition of the targeting pod to the A-10, the TISL and Pave Penny
    laser detection and tracking system was removed. Not only does this include
    the removal of the Pave Penny pod on the outside of the aircraft, but also
    the TISL panel in the lower portion of the center instrument panel. There is
    now a blank plate.
    Left Console Changes
    With the addition of the ARC-210 radio, the configuration of the left console
    controls heads has changed to accommodate it. This includes the addition of
    the ARC-210 radio control head, the removal of the forward VHF radio head,
    and shifting the control heads aft of the AAP panel further aft to
    accommodate the larger ARC-210 control head.
    Weathered Texture Option
    In addition to the factory-fresh texture version we have now, an optional
    weathered version should also be available. This will match the reference
    photos we have to make the cockpit look authentic to a real-world aircraft
    that has seen action over many years. Note that some panels and areas will
    be more weathered than others, based on the inclusion of the system later
    than the aircraft was originally built.
    Newer, less weathered elements would include:
    Multi-Function Color Displays (MFCDs)

    ARC-210 radio head
    Countermeasures Panel (top of right console)
    Armament HUD Control Panel (AHCP) (bottom left of instrument panel)
    Up-Front Control (UFC) (below Head Up Display)
    Updated External Model
    A new external model based on the current A-10C that should have a new
    and improved 3D mesh and high-resolution textures. This model will also
    removal of the Pave Penny pod to match today’s A-10Cs. In the image
    below, not the four large connection bolt heads and the color difference of
    the paint.
    AGM-65L Laser-Guided Maverick
    Unlike the other EO and IR versions of the Maverick, the AGM-65L model
    uses laser energy to guide on target. This laser energy can be either from
    the aircraft’s own Litening pod or from an external designator like a FAC or
    other aircraft. However, to detect the designation, the AGM-65L needs to
    have its laser code set to the same PRF code as the designator.
    The E model has the same warhead and motor as a G model; it looks like we
    already have the weapon model built. Like an AGM-65G, it can only be
    mounted on the LAU-117 launcher on stations 3 and 9. It is selected in
    DSMS as any other Maverick type.
    To include the AGM-65L, we will include a new DSMS/Inventory/Store page
    and a new weapon video page on the selected MFCD.
    DSMS Status Page
    On the DSMS page station boxes, each AGM-65L box would consist of:
    AGM-65L in top left of the box
    Launch type in the bottom left of box (117)
    Status indication in bottom right of box (RDY or STBY)
    DSMS INVENTORY Page
    When either station 9 or 3 are selected from the Inventory page, an
    AGM-65L. When selected, the center station loading information in the
    center of the page will show:
    Station (STA) number (3 or 9)
    Launcher type (always 117 for AGM-65L)
    1 AGM-65L
    Selecting the AGM/TGM function from OSB 4 will cycle to the training round
    page. The TGM-65E will behave just as the AGM version but cannot be
    launched.
    When AGM-65L is selected as the Maverick type, CODE is displayed next to
    OSB 3. Upon pressing OSB 3, the scratchpad on the HUD becomes active
    and the four-digit laser code may be entered using the UFC, and then
    pressing ENT when complete to save the code. One complete, the four digit
    numeric is displayed below CODE.
    HUD Symbology
    All HUD symbology will be the same as other Maverick versions and will be
    boresighted to 81 mils.
    Weapon Video
    The AGM-65L has a free gyro assembly with a 30-degree field of view (up,
    down, left and right). The tracker will have a maximum 10-degree per
    second slew rate. The gyro will take three minutes to align, as with the
    other Maverick versions.
    Unlike the EO and IR versions of Maverick, the laser version displays a
    synthetic view along the longitudinal axis of the missile and only shows
    indications of receiving or not receiving laser energy.
    READY Mode
    When the AGM/TGM-65E is initially selected and is in Ready mode, the
    active MFCD will appear as follows with the following indications:
    [1] Laser code and cursor. The laser PRF code consists of four digits and is
    input using the DSMS/Inventory page or entered from the Laser Maverick
    format page. The default PRF code is “1 1 1 1”. Given that the laser code will
    also be displayed next to the OSB, we can remove this.

    ***SOME INFO***

    Dear Fighter Pilot, Partners and Friends,
    This week we leaked the features set and announced DCS: A-10C II Warthog.
    We would like to take this opportunity to discuss some of the features that will
    be available. These include the Laser-Maverick, Scorpion Helmet Mounted Cueing
    System, AGR-20 APKWS, GBU-54 JDAM, and more.
    We continue to improve the Mission Editor (ME) and enhance the Historical Mode filter.
    If you want to use equipment from a given era, simply click the clock icon. This will show
    aircraft and equipment that were in service within the selected country and year. This mode
    can be turned on and off during mission creation if you need to select objects outside of the
    chosen year. We hope this will help facilitate the creation of mission scenarios.
    Our bug fixing exercise continues at full strength and we trust that the next OB release will be of interest.
    Thank you for your passion and support.
    Yours sincerely,
    The Eagle Dynamics Team

    A-10C II
    Development Report


    We have now completed the flight dynamics research needed for the new
    weapons and we are close to completing the cockpit weathered textures.

    We are also completing work on the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS)
    and the integration of the Targeting Pod projection window over landmasses
    and buildings.


    GBU-54
    Laser-Guided JDAM


    A low-cost guidance kit that combines combat-proven JDAM (Joint Direct
    Attack Munition) GPS/INS-based (Global Positioning System/Inertial
    Navigation System) navigation with a laser seeker achieving outstanding
    accuracy. Unlike the GBU-31 and GBU-38, the GBU-54 can engage moving targets.

    AGR-20
    APKWS


    The 2.75 diameter, 35-pound, laser-guided rocket is known as the fixed-wing
    Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II. The rocket has proven effective in
    combat operations over Afghanistan.

    We look forward to your feedback on these new weapon systems.
    Thank you again for your passion and support,
    Kind regards,
