***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)

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.
