crazyeddie Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Drool, dribble, fart ... just tell me how much and I'll start selling the children ! That looks fantastic, and I have always loved that VA176 paint job.
5tuka Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Looks fantastic, although I agree with you on the exhaust streaks. Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of it, but this is basicly how RM205 looked when I saw it in 2011: (picture is not mine) She's definetly not a clean running brid. :) Creator of the Immersive Daimler Benz Soundmod [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
archimaede Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 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. Community A-4E mod

AG-51_Razor Posted June 1, 2016 Posted June 1, 2016 Beautiful work Archimaede! You are going to ROCK THE DCS WORLD with this model!! :pilotfly: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Yea, didn't actually notice it at first in the picture. Too bad this had to happen to her (and BBD...). She was in better shape 2 weeks before that when I watched her take to the sky safely.

I won't have a life at all! :music_whistling:It seems I spend waaaay too much time at the PC already and now an AD and an A-4E.:pilotfly: I'll have to check and see if the wife still lives here with me.:( Haven't been giving her as much attention as I give DCSW and that is NOT a good thing for harmony under the roof.:smilewink: Priorities, priorities.

ActionMav Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Very nice model! Stupid question: When I look at 5tuka picture I see a little door and window behind that USAF roundel. What is this for?
Foxbeard Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I am pretty sure this is something for maintenance. __________________ Windows 7 Ult 64 Bit | Intel Core i5-3570 | 16GB DDR3-2133 | GTX 770

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 : Edited June 2, 2016 by archimaede Community A-4E mod

Angelthunder Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 I can't wait to see this in DCS.Hopefully you guys can get a third party license soon.If we ever get a map of the Korean War someday.I would like to see you guys develop the AD-1 Skyraider to go with it.The H variant only served in Vietnam,so I hope we get a map of that too.
Chief1942 Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Tight. Something like that : Was inside that rear compartment on an AD in "A" School as a structural mech. That's how we were able to inspect the condition of some of the control cables. Can't imagine squeezing two into that space, and the limited views would really make it claustrophobic.

Lol probably not any worse than the beck seat guys in the strategic bombers! That would be extremely tight!

archimaede Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Archimaede, any news to share regarding this awesome mod??? :music_whistling: No, not yet. At least not enough things that can be shown. Community A-4E mod
AG-51_Razor Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks for the quick reply though :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
archimaede Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 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 :) Community A-4E mod
AG-51_Razor Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 That's just fine with me Archimaede. It's more than enough just to know you are working on it! :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
archimaede Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited July 14, 2016 by archimaede 2 Community A-4E mod
