SUBS17 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Yes all of us Kiwi's would love that, hopefully in the future we'll get one once we have the C model (and then F) The K was one of the best upgrades which included AN/APG66 radar, Hotas, Ferranti Hud, RWR and chaff/flare dispenser. And could carry Aim9L, AGM65 and GBU-16. Would fit right in to DCS.:thumbup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A4K Pity they sold them they used to be fun to watch.:doh: [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Stratos Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Wondering the chances of VEAO doing a "E" version first, here the reasons. - Two more hardpoints, that means more weapons = more fun AND the hability to carry two Sidewinders + drop tanks + A-G ordinance will give the player more chances to survive against the current planeset. - More loadout options, including the AGM-45 Shrike ARM (AFAIK the C only fired the Shrike on firing range), so we can have a more effective way of dealing with Iron Hand (the SEAD for the navy) missions. - The Echo version was the one used in Nevada exercices, so we can represent better the Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program aka as Top Gun. My 2 cents. (Shrikes, Bulpups and a drop tank in the photo). Edited June 19, 2014 by Stratos I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

At a guess it was around the 8-10mil mark This was when we signed up buy our hornets

Although we appreciate that the later variants have additional payloads and capacity we want to crawl before we run ;) Who knows what the future holds regarding alternative variants. Pman

Pman Don't share your point of view, but I respect it, and kudos to you for the open and civilizated discussion on the VEAO forums. Good luck with the project, will keep an eye here to see how it goes. Thanks. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

X93355 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 We currently have several teams working on different aircraft, the Skyhawk being one of them. Cheers, Chris. Chris, I've posted some pics of an A4K on here for someone else. If you need anything specific (non engine), let me know. 1 InWin S Frame with Asus Z170 | i7-6700K @ 4.5 Water Cooled CPU and Graphics | 16GB DDR4 | GTX1070 | 240GB M.2 SSD | Warthog Hotas | MFG Crosswind | 40" Samsung 4K | CV1 | Replica MB Mk10 Ejection Seat with Gametrix 908
SUBS17 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 The A4K Kahu has a popout generator for in the event of a flame out or electrical fault which was attached to the fuselage. I haven't seen any pictures on the internet of it but it has one, I don't know if any other A4 types have that though. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Oesau Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Haven't seen any pictures of it, though have seen comments that there was one in the A-4M model (which was of course before the Kahu upgrade). Flight Magazine has some information on the Kahu project http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1988/1988%20-%203548.html
JazAero Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 All of the models had it, it's on the right side of the fuselage just in below, and in front of the gun.

Darkwolf Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 The C model is fine, any chance it serve as basis to devellop later model afterbward ? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site. Also....Join the largest DCS community on Facebook :pilotfly:
Pman Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 The C model is fine, any chance it serve as basis to devellop later model afterbward ? That's what they've been saying lol. what he said hehe Pman
J7G Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Because I'm answering questions from the great unwashed for you now, pman, you owe me a brand spanking new Hawk me thinks? ;) :D
SUBS17 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 All of the models had it, it's on the right side of the fuselage just in below, and in front of the gun. I have yet to see any sim model that on an A-4. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Pman Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I have yet to see any sim model that on an A-4. It's on ours. little lift up panel on the front, I'll get a render up of it at some point. Pman
J7G Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I didn't feel like this needs a new thread but I really think you guys could benefit from a general FAQ (covering all modules) thread. That way you're not repeating yourselves all the time.

J7G Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Perhaps but at least you could have a standard cut/paste post with the link for the repeat questions.
Ells228 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Yes but also understand that we have more aircraft being developed that aren't announced yet. The Skyhawk hasn't officially been announced yet. When it does it will have it's own forum section.
