INTRODUCTION
hello, and thank you for choosing my mod. My
goal with this mod is to bring a new level of play
to arma 3. With help of other arma community
members, my goal is closer. The a-10c is still in
the works and many Features are still not
complete. The CCIP and CCRP weapon systems are
still being worked and are not in this alpha
release. Other systems including the option to
disable parts of the Interactive cockpit and
Tactical Awareness Display (TAD) are in the works
for a later release. I also plan on updates to
the model and textures. Note this is not DCS nor
is the a10 based off of dcs.
thank you
Peral
