Snappy Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 @Reverend Kyle, yes it does. @ Baco the folder structure is as you mentioned . Inside the mods/aircrafts/A-4ec/ and then the various subfolders. Not sure about the source code. I downloaded the upper most file of the 3. Not the Tar and not the source code. I'll try their discord channel now. Thanks a lot anyway for your ideas guys. Kind regards, Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSharkAce Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Anyone knows if there is a way to get Viacom to work with this ? It seems not, but I’m wondering if there’s anything that can be modded so it would. If it’s a DCS module thing then maybe is my thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snappy Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Ok, just in case anyone else has the problem with getting directly into F10 view,being unable to get into cockpit view and fly the aircraft after starting any mission. My problem was solved after installeing this library package. It is different from the one Reverend Kyle linked earlier on. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0 Thanks a lot to the very helpful & friendly guys in the A-4e Discord server, they sorted me out with that one. Great support there ! Kind regards, Snappy Edited February 12, 2021 by Snappy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirk7312 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I don't know if here is the place to report issue. I found two issues. 1) It cannot connect with the Tacan which is set with carrier and portable Tacan device. It works perfectly with the Tacan set in the airfield. 2) Autopilot doesn't work with FFB2. it cannot hold alt if I use FFB2. It seem reset the trim when I set hold alt on.

Doc3908 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Does anyone know how to communicate with carrier? Once in the air, I call "Inbound" but there's no response and no change in the comms menu. If you bolter or do a touch-and-go, the comms menu pops up automatically with a "Kiss Off" option. Once you select it, the carrier deck lights up (at night) and you get the LSO grade when you trap (no communication from the LSO in the grove). When I practice, I learned to do a touch-and-go with the hook up, then another approach with the hook down. But it gets tedious after a while: To get 3 graded approaches, you have to do a touch-and-go first on each approach. I know this is work in progress - in fact, I'm amazed how well communication works with the deck crew - but I'm just hoping someone can let me in on the secret of how to communicate with the carrier while in the air. Thanks in advance! (And a HUGE thanks to the developers!) Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Are you tuned to the correct frequency?? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

I'll certainly try. Does carrier communication work for you while in the air? I thought the same thing, but I still had to tune into the carrier frequency to get in contact with the Tower. Also make sure you are in T/R+G mode. Here is a video I did today flying the newly installed EFM model with my PIMAX 8K. LOVE it. Absolute blast in VR. They still need work on comms with the super carrier such as calling the ball, but it still works a lot better than it did before. Another thing I noticed was when taxing up to the CAT, when the deck crew gives the signal to accelerate forward, you have to rock the throttle a little to get her hooked in. There is also an issue where the pilot reds/blacks out when hooking up to the CAT. The only other issue I have noticed and it may be my flying, is when I touch down on the deck and catch the wire, the nose will shoot into the air at times. Please watch the video below on the first trap and let me know if I am to fast or coming down to hard. Not sure if this is pilot error or a bug. Keep up the amazing work. Really loving this aircraft. I will post a night flight here soon using ILS on the carrier. I expect it to be just as scary as the F-14 with all the red lights.

Joe1978 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I am really enjoying this plane. It is a lot of fun to fly !!! I would like to share some differences that I have noticed vs 1.4. I understand that they may be due to the new flight model or maybe they are my perceptions ¿? 1. It is difficult to reach high speeds. It seems that ver. 1.4 is quite a bit faster. 2. Sometimes the airplane tends to rotate on its axis without control (especially to the left). Trim has little effect and it takes a lot to regain stability. I'm used to flying with the F5 so it doesn't bother me to correct the flight with the trim but this tendency to spin without apparent cause is quite annoying. 3. The effect of the brakes is quite limited. A question about development (maybe this has been asked before and I not sure if it's in this plane) would possible add the bombing computer and the AJB-3A? This, together with this latest update, would greatly complete the module Asus Rog Strix Z390F, i9-9900K, 64GB Crucial DDR4/3300, RTX3080, NVMe M.2 980 Pro 1T x2, SSD Evo 860 1T x2, Seagate Barracuda 1T, Seagate Barracuda 6T, HP X32C, HP Reverb G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Noticed a slight tendency to roll left as well - as long as I have stores (symmetrically). To be fair, this is not the only plane in DCS where I see that. F-16C is also very good at that, just as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I use the AFCS enabled (this helps maintain a stable flight ) but in this Beta 2 version I think the behavior of the A4E is better without it.

With piston engine airplanes I understand that effect (although EMO in DCS is quite pronounced). As for the F16, I have flown it little but I have never had such an exaggerated tendency to rotate on itself as with the A4e Asus Rog Strix Z390F, i9-9900K, 64GB Crucial DDR4/3300, RTX3080, NVMe M.2 980 Pro 1T x2, SSD Evo 860 1T x2, Seagate Barracuda 1T, Seagate Barracuda 6T, HP X32C, HP Reverb G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
