Pr0metheus Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks man! Does it work for mk20's also?Diferrent weapon, diferrent values, so no... Snake Eyes are high drag weapons. You must test everthing by yourself on the bombing range and write down the values unfortunately. The table in my previous post is something that I've made to try to find similar values in the tables that I came across the internet but nothing really fits terefore I asked if the sight depression is being calibrated in the module at all as values in the DCS doesn't correspond to anyhing that I found by now.

Ok, thanks anyway. There's a A-4E-C guide that has bombing tables for mk-82 (both low and high drag) based on the F-5 manual. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GNsvLojKhlihl-G7B-Mif628isJIcLGk/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegie Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Anybody know where the Kneeboard is meant to be? I can't find it, there was a statement about it being present in the Knneeboard builder too, but dammed if I can see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruprecht Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I just haven't found any usability or parallels with these tables and A-4E-C module. My mate and I have found pretty different mils settings for the same attack profiles even if we swear blind we're flying the exact profile pretty closely. e.g. I use 40mils for 45* / 400kt / 4000' rel / MK82 slicks. He uses over 100, and we're both pretty accurate. So yeah, fly a test range and work out your own numbers. One hot tip though - use 75mils depression as a landing setting for the Stennis. Gives you a nice reference for the upwind, downwind and groove pitch to fly accurately. YMMV.

Hi All, Being a newbe to DCS, I'm wondering if anyone is using a Warthog HOTAS profile for this great A-4 ? Looking for that. Thanks, Toan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudel_chw Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Why don't they let you have access to the SDK? It is not as easy as it seems, you would need to get Boeing’s license to use the A-4 trademarks, then the team of people that developed this aircraft would have to form a software company that can convince Eagle Dynamics that they are worthy of being Third Party Associate .. no, not easy at all.

Baco Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 And the dev team does not want that kind of presure.. They have already stated tehy do not want to becoem a 3rd party asociate. And its quite obviouse that TheMC donneld douglas fee must be astronomical, otehrwise soemone would have picked up the B or C models or even the F or M...

Taz1004 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Why don't they let you have access to the SDK? I think he's asking why ED doesn't allow SDK access to independent mod makers. Well, then DCS will be open source (not exactly but pretty much) and there wouldn't be any incentive to be licensed developer or ED if mod developers put out free, fully functional content. And altho open source may sound good, it also brings lots of chaos. Kinda what happened to Falcon 4.0. There were Free Falcon, Falcon BMS, Falcon Allied Force... So many versions of Linux. It'll divide the what already is relatively small community.

Nero.ger Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 its kinda funny that some people assume the SDK is some kind of fairy dust that makes everything better in an instant. It would require rewriting a big chunk of the codebase and probably even require some new coders since its a different language, which are in very very short supply in the modding community to begin with. Plus, no sane person would want to become 3rd party cause that means getting yelled at by 100 people when one of the lightbulps has the wrong RGB color. and all the other things mentioned above. 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baco Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Actually, McDonell-Douglas doesn't exists anymore .. was absorbed by Boeing. And That is what I find So Intriguin.. they give ED the license for the F/A-18 but NOT the A-4 Skyhawk?.. weird to say the least... Someone should aporach Lockhead Martin and ask about the A-4-AR witch is theirs as I understand it, and the avionics si all LM, since its a mini F-16 APG-67 ARG a nerfed 66, and a better engine...

Why weird? .. licenses are not free, why would ED spend money for an A-4 license if they don't have intentions to develop such a Module? Someone should aporach Lockhead Martin and ask about the A-4-AR ... I have no idea how much $$$ is a license for simulator use, but I doubt that it would be something cheap, unless LM was interested on a professional version of the simulator (doubtful, as the LM development dates from 1994 and Argentina was the only customer). Anyway, my point is that developing commercial simulator software has a lot of not so obvious costs, and that goes beyond what a users community may want to do .. a free Mod is one thing, a commercial module is quite different.

ED Owning a License for the F/A-18C has nothing to do with another independent company wanting a license for an A-4E Skyhawk. Licensing Fee is not the problem, if the team is not selling the product. The Last developer that stated the A-4E was dropped due to license fee was because they planned to sell the product. As for SDK, it is restricted to licensed development teams for a reason. Beoing still owns all the rights to the A-4 Skyhawk, The Lockheed Martin A4-AR is essentially an A-4M Upgraded w/ F-16 (Lockheed Martin) Avionics they were contracted to do the Upgrade, that's the only reason the A4-AR is referred to as Lockheed Martin Fighting Hawk. With the A-4E's Level of Tech, the only thing the lack of SDK Access limits is Radios. Everything else can be done without it.

Baco Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Thanks for the clarification Skatezilla! good to know. Pitty because no radios mean no AAR. Hopefully maybe RAZBAM wants to pick up the glove and give us a flyable B/Q and C/P... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
