When doing so on the TAD map, the actual target can even be set and highlighted on it by simply hooking up with the JTAC. The full color map display on the Tactical Awareness Display (TAD) is even said to be capable of accepting data from the Joint Terminal Attack Controller (think of a super high-tech AWACs) on the fly). Being they’re modeling the new C version of the A-10, there are some new full color displays to be found within the cockpit, and going through the various modes offered on them is pretty exciting. Everything is truly a mouse click away in virtual cockpit that they’ve created. If they can touch it, you can too in the A-10 Warthog cockpit.
It will take about six minutes worth of work, but it goes to show how realistically they’ve modeled every thing in the cockpit that an actual pilot can touch. Like also in DCS BlackShark, if you want to sit back and go through an actual start-up sequence like the real pilots do, you can. They offer a full six-degrees of freedom cockpit, so you can pan around anywhere within it, and you can manipulate every button, dial, switch, gauge, indicator, and display, as if you were in the actual cockpit. For instance the cockpit is modeled in painstaking detail, surpassing the work they did on the A-10 in LOMAC Platinum. I’ve been tinkering with a Beta version of DCS A-10 Warthog to put this preview together, and so far it’s looking quite impressive. There are also new integrated countermeasures and data-link capabilities too.
Other improvements include the means to deploy JDAMS and the Wind Corrected Munitions Dispenser, and two new targeting pods the Lockhead Martin Sniper XR & LITENING targeting pod. What the PEMP brings to the table is new flight computer, new glass cockpit displays and controls, two new 5.5-inch (140 mm) color displays with moving map function and an integrated digital stores management system. The Precision Engagement Modification Program is one of the biggest updates for the A-10, turning aging A-10s into A-10C model aircraft. The most recent version of the A-10 Thunderbolt II is the A-10C, and it’s the version which The Fighter Group and Eagle Dynamics is modeling in the upcoming DCS: A-10 Warthog simulation for the PC. As crazy as this might sound, the A-10 even scored two air-2-air victories by shooting down enemy helicopters in the Gulf War. In the ’91 Gulf War it was finally able to prove its usefulness in combat by destroying 900 Iraqi tanks, 2,000 military vehicles and roughly 1,200 artillery pieces, many of which was done with the GAU-8 cannon alone. A few years back I spoke with a few A-10 pilots at a local airshow, and its’ clear that they truly love their aircraft, because although it may be ugly, but it sure can bring some pain the shells it fires are literally as big, maybe even bigger than the old 1970s 16-ounce Coke bottles!
