D4n Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 As much as I know, the community mod has no permission from McDonnell Douglas Corporation (now Boeing) to produce a full module.:music_whistling: Source? Because, why would they forbid it for an aircraft that had it's first flight 1954 (!!!) and isn't even in service anymore (A-4E)? All it (mod) does/would do (module) is make good advertisement for Boeing on what a good ground attack (+A2A/dogfight) aircraft it was/still is (with upgraded version)... That could only profit the Boeing stocks. What reason could Boeing possibly have to not want it? After all we have the Boeing F/A-18C...

AcroGimp Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Thanks for the update Merker and team. Any chance on dampening the pitch buck and smoothing out the Scooter's ability to hold a trim speed, seems very finicky - if this is an SFM limitation I would understand. Scooter seem's very difficult, for me, to set and hold a trim speed, especially if trying to fly the AOA indexer around the boat - could just be my scan or my control/throttle inputs are too slow but she is a handful trying to flying smoothly in the slow speed regime. First flight at night last night and awesome job on the lighting, truly gorgeous and extremely adjustable, great work. I am leaving my Hornet squadron to CO a stand-up Scooter Squadron in the CSG-1 org, that is how great a job you guys have done - I am sure Heinemann would approve of your tribute to the Hotrod.

dSAF Dancer Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hey all, a quick update on how we're doing. After a short break, we're back to working on bugfixes and implementing a few of the changes you've seen in submods. Changes coming in v1.02 include but are not limited to the following: New Addition - Gunsight Power On Fade - Additional Pylon Loadout Options - Rocket Connector fix for AIM-9P - Simple RWR (Tentative yes for v1.02) Bugfix - Brake Power Adjusted to Prevent "Runaway Plane" on Tarmac and Runway - Removed Debug Messages during certain actions - Other fixes TBD Additionally, I recently created a submod for those in the aerobatic community. This submod replaces the current cockpit with a new, high-visibility cockpit which omits the ECM panel, countermeasures panel, gunsight and warning lamps. You can pick it up at the link below. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xVlo6lkQd8YpjumbZV0LfhEcL2ZVK31Q but this version is not yet online is it? amazing job on the a-4, its sad tht I do not have the time to fly her at the moment.

norbot Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 After 3 weeks of flying with the A-4E, I have to say it's just fun. All the integrated systems and weapons are impressive and are better in terms of scope and functionality than in some full module (by that I mean in particular the RADAR, INS, TACAN and AFCS). It's a pity that due to not having access to the SDK, there is no functioning radio - but that's just the way it is. Of course, not everything is perfect so far, but I'm sure the team behind the mod will soon be in control of the remaining issues. For those of you who have the same problem as me, that they hardly hit anything with the gun - strap two Mk-4 HIPEG under your wings. Then it's hell from above. Almost as good as the A-10. :D Thanks again to the team! You have done a really impressive job. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I'm having a lot of fun with the Community A-4E-C Mod. And a little wish in the end: Make it a full module. I would buy it as a "pre-purchase" or "early access" already. Wouldn't even have to think twice. :smilewink: 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.

A: Download the A-4E-C Folder, unzip, and place the Please note, the file structure on the download has changed. To assist everyone in installation, and better support JSGME, we’ve include mods/aircraft/ to the mod folder. Take the “mods” folder and drop it directly into C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha* *Note: The folder name after “Saved Games” does not matter, as long as it is the DCS folder. If you have multiple, place it into the folder with the name of the DCS version you use. Please note that you CANNOT place this into the C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Programs\ filepath or it will not be usable in DCS due to file integrity checks. Air to Ground Weapons Coming Soon! The install directions are unclear where is the install placed ? also there are multiple files on the google drive which one should I use thanks Rift CV1: i-7 8700 RTX 2070 16GB 3200mhz win10.

norbot Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) The install directions are unclear where is the install placed ? also there are multiple files on the google drive which one should I use thanks Download the file "A-4E-C v1011 (HotfixPreApplied).zip" and unzip it to the folder "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta". That will extract the mod into the folder "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft\A-4E-C" automatically. If you don't have an openbeta but the stable version, you can extract it to the DCS folder instead of DSC.openbeta.

AcroGimp Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Question for Merker and the Dev Team, is hot re-arm a coding limitation or trying to be realistic? I ask because for Naval Operations we can land on the Boat, set brakes, open the canopy and get a hot refuel but chief says 'cannot comply' for re-arm. If we are unable to start on the boat (huffer appears then disappears presumably because it geographically static, not tied to boat or Scooter) then it would be nice to be able to re-arm without having to shutdown. I am excited that these are the kinds of questions/requests I feel are needed, just trying to fit in better with our Harrier and Hornet and soon to be Tomcat brethren around the Boat.
