The Hog is one of my all-time favorite airplanes. I remember the anticipation and excitement I felt when Janes announced their A-10 sim. I still have a copy of the PC gamer preview article and some screenshots somewhere. When the project was cancelled, I felt like a jilted boyfriend. The A-10 was also supposed to be a part of the Falcon series, but that too was scrapped.

Of course when Lock On came out with a Hog, I was one of the first in line. My computer could barely run the sim, but I had to fly the Hog. I am looking forward to this release; however, now that I am older and wiser, I can contain my excitement.

BTW, thanks for the heads up. I can't wait to read the English update.

Holy cow, I can see a lot of mothballed Ka-50s when this module is out. Not a fixed wing fan but I have a soft spot in my heart for the flying gun.

Hopefully Engravity might be willing to do a version of their CDU/FMS panels for this. I'm sure there's going to be a few pit builders getting fired up over this.

I don't care which aircraft you prefer, this is great news!!!

...and what's more, GGTharos says the Hog FM will be even more advanced than the Shark's

Thanks Sim! Is it just me or do these cockpit textures look even more crisp then the BS ones?

They look like they have soft shadows baked onto them, very nice. It doesn't look too much different from an Airbus CDU (image from the Opencockpits CDU kit).

Compared to this...devil is in the detail though. Components are available from http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/fmccdu-a320-p-152.html including screen and button kits. A new bezel and backing plate and you could have a good match for the A10-C CDU.

Admin Edit: Come on guys you know the rules.

Wowsers. A-10 with MFDs and programmable Flight Management Computer - that would be hard to top.

Actually that's mistranslation. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=637206&postcount=35
