Merker Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Any news on making this IC compatible? And yes I have it in my saved games Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's part of what's holding up things at the moment. I want to dedicate some time to that and one other thing. It's by far our biggest bug request. If it's not in 1.02, it will be more out of getting things out before Christmas rather than giving it. Unless it is 100% unavoidable, I'll be working to fix it. Along with the SAM damage bug, it's by far my highest priority. Edit: And to specify, this is referring to the bug which kicks folks out of MP or prevents them from rejoining.

norbot Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 And, after some consideration and several requests, we've removed the unused ECM panel which was obstructing the airspeed indicator. Check it out! That's great news! Particularly with carrier landings the ECM panel was only annoying. Are you planning to implement the ECM functionality at a later date? Do we need a pod or is the ECM electronics installed in the hump? You guys are doing a great job. Since the release of your mod I'm flying it more often then the A-10C and the F/A-18C. It's just fun flying the A-4E!!! :thumbup: A-10A, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B, F-5E, F-16C, F/A-18C, F-86F, Yak-52, Nevada, Persian Gulf, Syria, Supercarrier, Combined Arms, FW 190 A-8, FW 190 D-9, Spitfire LF Mk.

JagHond Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks a lot for the good news, Merker! This plane is going to be fun day after day. May I ask for a possible anticipation? Is it planned also an A-4M to be released some day in the future? With best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert31178 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Forgive me if this has been covered already, but how do I drop tanks in the Scooter? I tried this morning with bags on the inboard wing stations and I could not get them to leave! I did look in the Community manual but it was not covered, not that I could find anyways. Thanks in advance! ~Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magot Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Are you planning to implement the ECM functionality at a later date? Do we need a pod or is the ECM electronics installed in the hump? This is good question, because ECM was installed only on several A-4Es for testing. In fact ECM was mounted only on one type - A-4L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABO2009 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hey all, just want to give you a quick update. Version 1.02 will be available next Saturday or earlier. The RWR won't be included but will be worked on going forward, however, all of the other changes I mentioned will be available. If you've sent me PM's, I apologize for taking awhile to respond. It's a very, very busy time of year for me IRL and I haven't had much time. Thanks for your patience, I appreciate it! P.S. Thanks Skate for making this post stickied! thank you so much for the hard work MERKER ! :thumbup: How I wish , the A4 mod could be integrated into the Sim, so the IC issue would be obsolete ! Having the A4 as a standard airframe slot on the servers like the other ED modules and it becomes flyable when you install the Mod is wishful thinking , but it would be soo Awesome :music_whistling::thumbup::joystick: Intel I7 - 10700 K @ 3,80GHz / 64 GB DDR3 / RTX 3090 / Win 10 Home 64 bit / Logitech X56 HOTAS / HP Reverb G2 Running DCS on latest OB version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_mojo97 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Ok, so I downloaded this mod but it doesn't show up in DCS.

Kev2go Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 This is good question, because ECM was installed only on several A-4Es for testing. In fact ECM was mounted only on one type - A-4L. A4e humpback models had ecm. And besides that panel is used for rwr control too. So it will be needed in the future when that gets worked on.

AcroGimp Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Verified during testing today, the Scooter's AN/APG-53A Ground Attack Radar can detect CVN size targets at nearly 30nm. It is VERY sensitive to radar elevation and will be fleeting but the Scooter Ground Attack Radar does in fact see CVN size ships and from almost 30nm away. First shot is map overview showing strike group related to a known terrain feature that I have previously detected with the Ground Attack radar. 2nd shot is Radar Elevation 6 degrees dish down, only terrain targets detected. 3rd shot is 5 degrees dish down, terrain AND Strike Group targets detected. All shots were active pause on, at Angels 15, range 27.5nm - bottom line is it can work but will be best from a stable platform (e.g., AFCS with Path and ALT HOLD Modes engaged). Verified similar results at Angels 6 and 23nm using 4 degrees dish down. Suspect possible at longer ranges but not yet verified. This is truly an impressive bit of coding and yet another reason this Mod is just beginning a brilliant career as a capable naval strike aircraft. At speed you will need to manually change dish elevation regularly to maintain contact and would want to switch to short range at some point but so long as you let the plane do the flying I don't see why we can't get to where we can reliably use this - that is simply jaw dropping to me.

thrustvector Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 strange, its pretty simple, unzip, then click the folders till you get the last one called A4, that way in the savegame/dcs/mods/aircraft itl show.just see if that does it. thanks Blackwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRogers Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 This aircraft has been a blast so far! Definitely a great addition to the hangar. Anyway we can get the first post updated with latest news etc? I've seen a few previous posts that would be much more visible on the original page (Mainly talking about the upcoming patch). Might be easier for the newcomers to find if it is there? CO 6vMAW Looking for wingmen? Come Fly with Us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the problem. if you have multiple versions IT DOES NOT WORK. You need to place it in: C:\Users\baco1\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft\A-4E-C (where "Baco1" is YOUR user name in the PC).

oldpop Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I saw that the TACAN only works for land based stations, will it a patch to allow it to receive CV TACANS come later??? What about CILS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
