Looking forward to this module so much. I have been around these bad boys for a while at our museums and a guy that works with me was a pilot with the Sandys during Vietnam. I was just talking to him about them today. It is a pleasure listening to his stories. Any last year teaser screens before rolling into 2017? Looking forward to this one a lot! Going to be fun using with the UH1

I really hope you are able to put some of the lessons you're learning on the A-4 to good use on the Skyraider. I really can't see myself flying anything else than the SPAD and Scooter once they are available. :pilotfly:

 

My Dad was the XO of VF-20B (later to become VF-194) in Air Group 19 when they were flying the F8F Bearcat and gave them up temporarily to be the West coast evaluation squadron for the AD-1. Next to the Bearcat, he said that the AD was the nicest flying prop plane he ever got to fly.

wow coming along great.

 

It be fantasitic if ED did grant you a 3rd party license of the Skyraider. Would buy a AD module ( especially A1H) in a heartbeat.

Archimaede, as the A4 gets closer to release, have you been able to devote any time to this awesome airplane project?

 

Sadly no, I didn't have much time for DCS at all lately, and whichever I had it was for the A-4. Don't worry though, I didn't forget about the A-1 :)

I just found out the a-1 was used as a buddy tanker too... is this something that can be done? Would be cool to see it top off the a-4 before or after a strike :)

It can be done the same way it can be done for the A-4, ie as an AI, but not as a player aircraft.

Hopefully you'll find something to make it work on player planes as well.

I hope we'll soon can fly this gem in DCS. As a Vietnamese, I heard a lot about this prop plane in history war book, one of the most fearsome foe of NVA infantry.

Not that I would even presume to speak for Archimaede, I have asked this very question myself on more than one occasion and have been told that he is presently working with the Community A-4 project and that this is on the back burner until then. That is all the more reason for the A-4 to be released as soon as possible so that the skyraider can get finished!! As much as I would love to fly the Scooter, my true love is the AD. This is going to be the mod to end all mods!! :thumbup:

From the last update, they said that real life studies and work have slowed progress through the summer, but some things were accomplished. So I'd assume that the same factors are present and expect the same amount of progress. I would not expect anything on the Skyraider until after the A-4 is released.

 

But I too cannot speak for them, just my observations from reading.

Yes that's pretty much like you said; and it will probably be even more delayed when the F/A-18C releases...

 

 

There is no doubt in my mind that it will be well worth the wait :thumbup:

Given that the a4 is nearly there, and the f4e has been announced, the a7 and a6 have been announced... it's coming ever closer to a mid 70s extravaganza!

So whats the difference between a mid 1960s A1H' and a Late 60s - early 70s A1H?

 

I have a A1H/J manual from 1965 so im just wondering since the A1H was a fully analog aircraft till the end of its service life, and had a basic sight with mills depression for bombing. Just how much changed in the late 60s or early 70s revision?

The difference is pretty much only in the avionics and instruments (radios, tacan, etc), as well as different payloads which weren't used in the 60s.

 

can you be more specfic regarding pyalods ?

 

Or better yet if possible do you have a online site that has such a late manual from 70s on sale?

 

the A1H's were after all ready retired from the US NAvy USMC and US air force after their exit from Vietnam in 1973. I can imagine theres only so much they would bother changing for an aircraft that was on its way out to the scrap yards.
