Originally a part of the aircraft selection in LOMAC, the A-10A was ported over to DCS through the FC3 package.
The A-10A is not nearly as complex an aircraft as the upgraded C model, and by virtue of being a simplified “Flaming Cliffs”-style simulation, the A-10A module is also much less complex and complicated than the full-sim A-10C. Just like the other FC3 planes, the A-10A is more designed to be controlled through a standardised set of keyboard shortcuts than through any kind of advanced set of peripherals, nor does it feature an interactive “clicky” cockpit.
Features
Compared to the flagship A-10C module, the A-10A is perhaps better characterised by what it does not feature:
- No mouse interaction — only keyboard shortcuts (but still 6dof head movement).
- No smart weapons, with the exception of the AGM-64 Maverick — only free-fall dumb bombs and rockets.
- No MFD-based glass cockpit — only analogue instruments and switches.
- No real night capabilities other than, again, the IR Maverick.
