Baco Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I am running out of runway at landing. what Am i doing wrong, I am touching around 130 Kots, applying wheel brakes, but it just doesn't stop... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 +Frag - "That thing can fly, I was quite impressed by its rolling capability. Was it THAT maneuverable!? If yes it was quite an airplane!!!!" Roll rate of A-4 is around 720 degrees/second, which is about twice what larger US fighters do today. Yes, it is pretty impressive. Try going down gorges south of the Hoover Dam, the thing can turn. Great mod A-4 team. I have had no graphics glitches and it runs like a dream. Flying it the way kiwis were trained to do, 50 feet AGL (I kid you not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far down the runway are you touching down ? this thing has quite a long roll out. If you touch down in first quarter of the runway you should be ok. Can deploy airbrake with B key once down, and spoilers will be activated automatically. Landing worked ok for me. Yes, the brakes are weak so you need to land as close to the threshold as possible and not float above the runway for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrustvector Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 WOW, cant believe this is free, and all you want is thanks, well you certainly have mine. fantastic job, lands very easy first time with no checking tuts, I do feel the brake isn't very sharp when landing but that's the only thing, but if you do run out of runway it doesn't get stuck in the dirt, that's a first. once again, fantastic job, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WR269 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 did my first trap, awesome! How did you deploy the Hook? I had gear down, flaps down, etc but the hook would not come down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shagrat Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 it doesn't get stuck in the dirt, that's a first. F/A-18C can land on dirt/field. All prop planes incl. Yak-52 can land and take off from field... even a lightly loaded and carefully handled Su-27 Flanker can land and take off from grass... at least it could a while ago. :smartass: A sturdy NAVY plane like the A-4E, virtually is supposed to be able to do this. :thumbup: Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake seems not strong enough ... It's only a detail, I am pretty sure they will be able to fix this quite easily :) But I am still wondering what is that sound looping from the Coldstart ... sound like an APU but since there are no power connected yet ... Anyone has an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tirak Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 While the radios may not work, the F10 menus for things like Through the Inferno work perfectly fine, so even though you can't phone up a tanker or call in for ATC permissions, you absolutely can make custom missions work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tirak Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Newbie here sorry where does one go to download this and how do I install it ...steam here Q: How do I install? A: Download the A-4E-C Folder, unzip, and place the unzipped A-4E-C folder into the following directory…C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Mods\aircraft. Please note that you CANNOT place this into the C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Programs filepath or it will not be usable in DCS due to file integrity checks. If you're playing on the beta branch then you'll put it in the DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft file. There may not be a Mods or aircraft folder, if that's the case, simply create one using the New Folder command and you'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdawg Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I was having a little trouble getting this to work and I have just noticed that 7zip is creating two A-4E-C folders in the directory instead of one. I removed that second folder and it fired right up. To everyone involved in making this project happen, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktoberfest Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I'd like to know if this mod works in 1.5 version. You should try and then let us know. Odds are there might be some shader compatibility issues though It’s free though so no harm in trying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphazulu Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Aim-9 Question Hi Guys, Thanks for the awesome mod! It is very fun. I just have one question. From what I have read this A-4E variant should be able to carry 4 Aim-9s at once, but it can currently only load out with 2. Is this correct? Also, one other FYI- for me it appears that the internal canons are firing 7.62mm ammo as opposed to 20mm. I fixed it on my end for myself, but this is something you might want to look into. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. I had noticed this (guns) too, the log/score (‘ key) showed hits by 7.62mm after a test flight last night. I’ve submitted a bug via the bug submitter form for this so hopefully they’ll fix it. Assuming you tweaked a lua file - care to share the file and fix? :) Thanks..

Baco Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 You have to map the key. Its not there by default I believe... It works good on this end too. On the topic, there are several keys you need to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWC_SLAG Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The loading instructions say to download the zip file and unzip it. Then, they say put the unzipped file in Mods/Aircraft. I don't understand that. Does Mods/Aircraft get the zipped or the unzipped file? Once I have the right file downloaded in the right place, how do I choose it to be flown, and do I need the Persian Gulf scenery?

Baco Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Well thats a broad question Slag. 1. the Folder A4E-C hast to be placed at: C:\Users\(Your user name on your PC) example> PC1\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft\A-4E-C 2. once you have the Mod installed properly you need to crate a mission with it. there are currently no mission on the PG. You need to create a mission with the mission editor. or join a server that has the A-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
