[Oesau]

We are more than happy to confirm that we are working in collaboration with VEAO to bring the Skyhawk to DCS. For Obvious reasons I cant go into details for the module and appropriate announcements and confirmations will follow from the guys at VEAO in due course. Watch this space!

That's what MER's are for. :thumbup:

[southernrebel]

or ters, but remember this little hot rod was made from the begining to be capable and designed for the nuke bombs with blast shields to boot. that can make a lot of glass.

[JazAero]

I don't know what MER's and ters stand for, and judging from how fast this thread went ice cold. I'm guessing no one else knows either. Unless I missed something somewhere, how about a little explanation guys? @southernrebel and @Paganus.

looks like everybody else covered it pretty well. i agree a4skyhawk.org is a great source for general stuff. they just dont let you down load stuff. some pic's can be bu there is a lot that will not. mer's and ter's where developed by us navy officers at china lake back in the mid 60's. you could carry 250 lb. bombs, 500,1000, 2000lb bombs. walleye bomb and bullpup missiles too, as well as b-47 nuke bomb. the racks where developed for the A-4 skyhawk. they worked so well that a lot of aircraft used them and still use them to this day.

[southernrebel]

As Mk_82 showes you, that mer holds a 500 lb bomb. the thing is that if 500 lb bombs are used then you have to leave one off. the forward inboard rack on the A-4 could no hold a bomb because of the wheel well door.

Mk-82 due you have any drawings of the areo 7 center line bomb rack or the aero 20 for the wings. whould like to have lenghts on the ters and mers too. diamaters also.

boy do I feel stupid… :-)

[southernrebel]

all this is not to make you feel stupied. not all people know about all aircraft. but there is a group of us that love the little scooter called the A-4 skyhawk. if you have questioons just ask. english is my first language and still cant spell. lol . you do things that others cant. just do the best you can with the skyhawk. we will help.

don't misunderstand me. I meant that comment as a joke because with my experience I should know what those two expressions meant, the a 4 Skyhawk is also one of my favorites. I just thought I knew everything about the plane including those 2 expressions. But in my age I forgot their meanings. after all, the last time I sat in one was back in A-school some 39 years ago ;)

 

age has a way of making you forget things that once upon a time were painfully obvious:smilewink:

 

Not to worry, talking to you guys has it all coming back to me now LOL

[Chief1942]

You hang in there "Old Timer". I wish I could remember everything I seem to have forgotten about the scooter since that was the primary A/C for my 4 years at El Toro. Except for an initial stint with an F-4J Fury transition squadron, A-4's are all I worked with. VMA-311 was the last outfit I was assigned to before my discharge in '64. Looking at the pics of those VMA-311 Tomcat A/C really brings back the memories.

what in the heck is going on. Nobody wants updates? I sure do. did you get somebody to do insterments? is the cockpit done? have you model a mer or ter for the aircraft? any info would be nice.
