"The Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft designed to provide close air support (CAS) of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets. As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other attack aircraft against ground targets. It is the first US Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support (CAS) of ground forces."
"This is Fairchild-Republic A-10, also named Warthog. It's a U.S. single-seat, twin-engine, very robust jet aircraft designed for ground attack."

TODO: Implement "easy mode".


In the current developement version, the aircraft simulation starts with stoped engines. Actually, part of the electrical power system and the APU's operation are simulated. At FlightGear startup, both electrical power and APU are shut down, and there is no external power supplied.
In the current version, the aircraft simulation starts with stopped engines.
 
A big part of the electrical power system and the APU's operation is simulated. Air to air refueling is implemented too.
 
The navigation instruments are TACAN, ILS and also a VHF so you can have homing on a VOR station.
 
Several external loads are available and the HUD provides a CCIP (Continuous Computed Impact Point).

== Development status/Issues/Todo ==
Outside:   
* turbine does rotate but should become an alphaed disk for the high rpms
3d Cockpit:
* no ejectable seat
* no RWR (radar warning system)
General:


* no crash handling, the a/c just stops when touching the ground
