Fairchild A - 10 Thunderbolt II

"What's that smell?"

"It's the smell of FREEDOM!!!"

Hello everyone!

It's been so long since my last upload, but here I am presenting one of my first re-make!

First of, I would like to warn you about something issues you might find.

Wobbly pilot
Wobbly bombs
Slight bounce on landing
Bombs not detonating

Most can be fixed by turning your physics level to HIGH.

Anyways.....

Here's a short description about the A-10

The A-10 Thunderbolt II, nicknamed the "Warthog," is a single-seat, twin-engine, subsonic attack aircraft designed for close air support (CAS) of ground troops. It is known for its durability, survivability, and powerful armament, particularly the GAU-8/A 30mm Gatling gun. The A-10 is specifically designed to target armored vehicles and other ground targets with high accuracy, even in challenging low-altitude environments.

Controls!!

They're at default, nothing special
Instructions are in game.

How to use the GBU - 12?

Get close to the target (about 3km), I prefer dropping the bombs above the target.
Use the cockpit cam or the pave penny cam to lock the bomb to a target.
Then fire!

    @ToeTips seems less about relevancy and more that simpleplanes community is kinda dying, or atleast not as active... my outlook on it.

    Back in the day, an A-10 like this would have gotten you at least 70 upvotes. Guess the plane has kinda faded in relevancy.

    @SupremeDorian It's mostly just digital cockpit parts and the USAF roundel.
