Secret Documents #1: A-10C Warthog Guide Update Draft

Added 2020-01-02 02:49:59 +0000 UTC

Hi folks!

First of all, Happy New Year to each of you! 2020 is shaping up to be a very, very busy year for me.

For those of you who wanted to see more closely what I'm working on at the moment, here's a quick preview of the A-10C Warthog guide update. Eagle Dynamics has provided us with a brand new cockpit, so I thought... why not re-do the whole Warthog guide almost completely from scratch? Since this update is a massive, massive one, why not go all in?

Feel free to consult the attached pdf, which is a draft of the cockpit description section update.
