VEAO is doing the A-4C "Skyhawk"?

They were specially modified for the Argentine air force.

 

Its not something we are looking to simulate at the moment. Our A-4C will have 3 hardpoints.

Thanks for info!!

The A-4 just looks so cool when standing on the ground. Short and stubby, but with long legs. :)

btw: Are all Skyhawks carrier landing capable? Or did the non-navy users leave the hook and stuff and/or change the gear? What about the VEAO one?

Back on topic, foks:

Yee haw! Jester's Dead!

Carrier ops is something we hope to include in the future however we are not presently making a carrier for DCS so it's down to ED's ones for the time being.

Pman

Will you at least include the arresting hook ? Even if we can only land on the K, that'd be unrealistic - but fun to do :)

oh yeah the hook and gear will be modelled and as far as we are able it will be functional.

Carrier ops are abit of a sensitive subject at the moment, we will endeavour to make it compatible with carriers within the sim as much as its within our control

Brazilian´s A4 operate at São Paulo carrier....Will be great to fly this plane and land at a carrier.

Maybe wait and see how ED or coretex handles carrier ops with the F/A-18?

All Skyhawks kept the hook, not so sure about the catapult bridle hooks though know the RNZAF A-4K's did

The Kahu looked even better without its hump, I'm quite sure all A-4s are carrier capable so long as the retain the bits and pieces required.

BTW carrierops will probably be solved while ED is doing the F/A-18C and I doubt it would take much for basic carrierops capabilities when they do.:thumbup:

I´m so happy. I couldt belive that no one was making the A-4. Simple plane and carrier capability. For my it´s the most exiting plane til now!

The question is, will that incorporate bridle launched aircraft or just launch bar aircraft?

:p

Here is a link to explain why some info is restriced

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Traffic_in_Arms_Regulations

This sorta explains WHY certain things that you would consider unclassified can't be published or distributed.

Probably just launchbar but what devs like VEAO or Razbam would most likely do is a mod for their aircraft where bridle would appear instead. Didn't the carriers support both at one stage?:pilotfly:

ITAR is not an international law. VEAO is british and customers are worlwide based :)

Doesnt really have much of an effect

As a pure example : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17146487

But subs is along the right lines

Irony being in that case that the Hawk was sold there as part of the Contra affair, heh.

Thought I'd add a couple of more renders for you all :)

Jim, Tony and the team have been working tirelessly on the A-4C

Hope you all like them :D

Pman

Thanks for the update Pman!

A must buy! Thanks!

Just a note, the Textures are very much a WIP and more there to have something on it then reflective of what we envisage the final ones to look like :)

Pman

Even with those simple textures the model looks awesome. Very detailed, everything straight and crisp.

Thanks for the update! So nice to see that VEAO keeps posting regular updates of cool stuff they do.

My favorite aircraft of all time. Thanks VEAO! Can not wait.

As a kiwi living in NY I even have one on my desk to remind me of home :D

Looking Good:thumbup: Will you guys be doing a payed alpha /beta for the A4?:thumbup::music_whistling:
