DCS: A-10C II | ARC-210 Radio

[@MattWagner]

On a related matter, radio presets in the Mission Editor are coming for all three A-10C II radios.

[@SniperSal]

Thanks Wags. Now I'll just wait for the Apache update video 😄

[@Westpoint1-1]

👆👆👆 Big Deal! Thanks!

[@Chef_PC]

About friggin time!!! How about cockpit setups like TGP and Maverick power? Oh, and HMCS.

[@SeanAnwalt]

Yay! Thank you, Wags!

[@rhino704]

I can set the frequencies but am not able to name them in the mission editor? Who's thinking was that? That's one of the biggest features of this radio and it has been ripped from us.

good to see the a-10 still receiving updates, hope it still developed to keep on level with the other ED's fixed wing heavy hitters, 16 and 18

[@c.g.262]

So glad you used the proper livery. Green is the only color A-10s should ever be in.

[@lmj06]

been looking for a livery like this for ages, never found a good one

[@c.g.262]

@@lmj06 The A-10A has one just like this for the unit that was in England. I know none of the C versions got this paint, I would fly with it anyways because that's the way I always remember A-10's as a kid in the mid-late 1980's.

[@jimb6582]

Thank you for taking the time to make these tutorials, I really enjoy flying the A10c. At first I never thought I would be able to learn it and the tutorials are a big part of that.

I love the A10 cockpit. So many buttons and menus. Wish there was a fighter with a similar cockpit

You'd love the JF17

[@kiprassereika9912]

@@stem2603 yeah perhaps, but the person who wrote it I think meant that he liked all the mfd’s and interaction with the plane. As pilot in the f-14 u rarely have to push more than a handful of buttons

[@stem2603]

This is excellent. Great work folks. I promise I’ll read the manual, honest!

No need, just push buttons until you either crash or something works. That’s what most ppl do.

Gents, I can see there's been some discussion below, but where is the livery for the A10CII as featured in this video? I have flown it quite recently but dont recall seeing this particular skin as an option. Is this a mod or core? It's beautiful and would love to fly this skin on Caucasus or Normandy. Many thanks.

This radio doesn’t work in single player talking to ATC/flight. I enter the right freq and have it on manual and trans, nothing happens. Pilot talks and nobody answers.

[@venomousvideo1621]

Hey Wags this is just a suggestion but you guys should add the MBU-20/P to dcs anyway love the changes to the game

[@GoosewithTwoOs]

Any word on a TAD update, if not to see hostile reports or threat rings at least friendly PPLI?
