Yes it will be clickable.

It would be a fully clickable cockpit. I understand that to some it s a bit intimidating seeing all these switches and buttons, but it s also way more rewarding when you re able to do anything you want with the aircraft. Not all clickable aircrafts are as complex than the a 10c, and the a-1 surely is much simpler.

The A-1 was pretty easy to take off with a catapult, even without any flaps or with a weight over the MTOW of land based Skyraiders.

Update, the same bug exists on all the light knobs.

Thanks, we appreciate your thoughts deeply.

I used the way it's labeled in game so you'd be 100% sure about what I was talking about. Maybe we can add "wrong label" to the bug list :P

In every other modules, when using the keyboard for the stick, pushing Left or Right will slowly move the stick left or right accordingly. Releasing the key will bring back the stick to the center position. With the Mirage, the stick will hold the position it's at and not go back to the center position. Could it be possible to change that and make it behave like all the other modules ? (Yes, I know it's a sim, and using the keyboard to fly is moot, but still, it would be great if the modules were all working in the same way, which is why I'm bringing this up)

If you go to the A position of the Jammer Strengh Switch, and scroll as if you wanted to move the switch even further into the A position, you can. There's no animation but the scrolls are counted, and now moving out of the A position takes and awfull amount of scrolling. IE if you scroll 1 min into the A position, even if there's actually nothing, you'll need to scroll another 1 min to now get out and go to the 1 positon.

Same.

The knobs for the UHF/VHF radios can't be turned.

It's not a HoggitDev project. Right now it's a solo project, but it might change, and other people might join up as the project progresses. I get what you're saying by releasing it as an AI, and, if the project were to fail, I'll make sure to release what I have as an AI. Hopefully it does come to this and we'll all get to sit in the cockpit of the Skyraider :) And thanks for the kind words everybody!

Hi all, just a quick update for you. I had a lot of personnal matters to attend to this month, so I don't have much to show for. I've been mostly working on the animations (but I can't show them yet). However I can show you the placeholder textures in game: I also got in contact with a couple of former or actual Skyraider pilots that are willing to help me. No doubt their advices will really help in the making of this aircraft for DCS. Hopefully with personnal stuff out of the way I'll be able to dedicate more time to the Skyraider. That's all for now, stay tuned for more later.

Sure thing ! Don't expect a lot of updates very close together. Creating an aircraft for DCS is a looooooong process, so if I don't show something every month or so, that's normal :)

No, not yet. At least not enough things that can be shown.

Something like that :

The Skyraider pictured above is an AD4N (with an AD6 livery) The AD4N is a 2 seater, with an avionics operator sitting in the back. (You can notice the missing dive brakes replaced by the access door) The AD6 (aka A-1H) is a single seater :

Don't worry, I have plenty of reference pictures on how dirty the Skyraider is. As I said, these textures are just the first batch, they're far from satisfactory, and were more to give a quick update on the project.

And here they are : It's a very early draft. I'm not happy at all with the smoke lines and will change these later on.

AI could use those, but not the player.

Later variant

First textures are coming along nicely, be patient :)

It's not the last day of the month yet :)

Always, yes!

Good eye, it's indeed a refuelling pod. If possible, I'd like buddy buddy refuelling to be a thing, but I've got no idea if it will be possible within DCS. The F/A-18C developpement could bring new things that weren't possible in DCS before, so fingers crossed. And yes, it will be carrier capable.

Thanks for all your supports guys!
