A-1H Skyraider


Recommended Posts

This model will do fine with an all glossy navy blue color scheme to fit it into a Korean War scenario!! :thumbup: You asked for PM's from folks that are willing and able to help. I have no artistic or coding skills but I am ready to throw as much money at you as I have for the A-10 or the M-2000C or the P-51 or the Bf-109 or the FW-190 or the F-86 or the Mig-15 or the......... This AD would be worth as much as any one of them as far as I am concerned!! Good luck with this project, it means a lot to me. My Dad was the exec of VF-194 when they briefly gave up their F8F Bearcats to evaluate the AD-1 back around 1948 I think. I'll have a look at his logbook.

Very nice!

The Skyraider is one of my favorites aircrafts.

Good luck!

August '47 through Aug '48 in the AD-1 then back to the F8F Bearcat. It was "Attack Squadron 20A" and became VF-193 of Air Group 19. This was back when the navy was trying to decide between the AM-1 Martin Mauler and the AD. Douglas won the contract.

Archimaede, judging from the in-game screen shots, it looks like you have a buddy pack installed on the centerline pylon. Is that the case, and if so, the next obvious question would be, are you planning on having the AD pass fuel to jets?

 

Also, will this plane be fully capable of carrier operations?

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.

Nice, love the Skyraider! Always wanted to have it in a modern sim since the day it flew past my head at an airshow. The engine is by far the loudest I've heared yet, it nearly completely drowned the P-40 and P-51 it flew in formafion with.

 

Would love to create some engine sounds for this, but only as a mod.

 

Anyway, keept it up pls., looks very promising!

While going through "A" school at NAS Millington (Memphis, Tenn.) in 1960, I got to sit in the cockpit of an AD and actually start that rascal up. Instructor stood on the wing next to the cockpit and talked me through the procedure.:joystick: We were training ground crew (plane captains) to be able to taxi these birds while trying not to get fixated on the prop and actually taxi the plane into themselves. Can you say "Sliced Salami?" I thought you could.:helpsmilie: Anyway, the power and sound of that engine truly has to be experienced to get the full appreciation of its awesomeness.:pilotfly: Really looking forward to once again sitting in the cockpit of that plane. Good luck with the development.
