gospadin Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Wow thanks! Actually I'm quite surprised of the "fluidity" of the flight model. Are you sure you're still using SFM? :music_whistling: Flight model doesn't look as SFM to me :) I can assure everyone it's still SFM. Edit: I'm pretty happy with how we've tuned our SFM tables, and the documented behaviors in various phases of flight are within a few percent of the data we have available. However, you can still see simplified behaviors at certain flight envelope corner cases, and airframe-specific oddities (e.g. slat buffet) cannot be implemented in SFM.

Beamscanner Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) No progress yet. I had a few ideas but none have panned out yet. The trick is how to target something without a targeting system. =P Here's how the shrike targeting worked https://books.google.com/books?id=K_T4M-nA6JYC&pg=PA590&lpg=PA590&dq=employing+the+shrike&source=bl&ots=uRDvPtl7ZG&sig=CgCndqbHdul-aZiELIZjeVFpnPs&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi1lumH69nVAhVK-2MKHZ_yAkEQ6AEIKDAA#v=onepage&q=employing%20the%20shrike&f=false Process 1. APR-27 (or other RWR) detects threat emitter (and produces a tone for the pilot, as all RWRs do) 2. APR-27 activates Shrike seeker head. 3. Seeker head must be manually aimed at the SAM(radar) to lock 4. When the seeker head gets a lock on SAM(radar) it produces a lock tone for the pilot. (similar to AIM-9 targeting) There are two audio indications 1. APR-27 audio of threat (which exists with or without shrike loadout) 2. Shrike lock tone Edited August 15, 2017 by Beamscanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospadin Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Thanks. I do know how the targeting is supposed to work, from your source and a few others. It's the lack of API access that makes things tricky. =P My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crudboy12 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 It would be fantastic if you got in touch with ED and got some kind of official support for the A4. I would love it if it was included with DCS much like the SU-25t and TF-51 as free aircraft.

Didn't mean to imply that you were complaining, that's on me. I think ED's choice just makes groups like yours less likely.

n8d0g Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 This may have been asked before, but will the A4E be carrier capable? I was thinking in context of the carrier that (i believe) is bundled with the F14. Not sure how the technical side of it interacts, perhaps its too early. But I was curious if this is an unknown or known quantity at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking in context of the carrier that (i believe) is bundled with the F14. Not sure how the technical side of it interacts, perhaps its too early. But I was curious if this is an unknown or known quantity at this point. It can land and takeoff from the existing in-game carriers. Tailhook works properly, and we made a change in our engine modeling to allow carrier takeoffs. (PS: This was covered in the FAQ on the front page of the thread) We have no information on any upcoming carrier projects or what changes might come with them, so we cannot predict future compatibility. --gos My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gospadin Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) Community A-4E: August 2017 Update Hi everyone. Just a few things to report this month... First, while the interior unwrap is continuing, we aren't yet finished updating the new surface texturing to match, and thus we're not quite ready to show off the fully painted cockpit yet. Hopefully ready within the next few weeks and ready for our next update. We did take the time to re-model our fuel tanks (to include bobtail variants on the centerline) and give each livery its own fuel tank skin, as a function of the squadron you choose. We combed through a bunch of historical photos we had of the various squadrons, and tried to replicate the tanks as accurately as possible. As an example, here's VA-163 Saints with a pair of 300 gallon wing tanks and six Mk-82 bombs on the centerline: And here's VMA-311 Tomcats with a relatively plain bobtailed 400 gallon centerline fuel tank. Aerodynamics and weight of the new tank variants is modeled. Tanks are painted according to base livery, size of the tank, and whether they're on station 2/4 or the centerline. On top of the new fuel tanks, we've done a lot of small changes to improve how the cockpit warning lights and textures look in the new 2.1 engine with deferred shading. As that's that path forward for DCS, we're trying to keep up. We've also got a number of small fixes to our external model to improve how it renders, as well as fixing the left side bort numbers for our aggressor skins. I don't happen to have pictures handy, but we'll include more cockpit pictures and video when we're ready to show off the full unwrap. Systems wise, just a few small changes: New g-meter behavior with max and min needles, the pitot-static based VSI behaves more realistically, and we've fixed the behavior of some knobs and switches. Thanks for everyone's support! --gos Edited September 1, 2017 by gospadin My liveries, mods, and missions for DCS:World M-2000C English Cockpit | Extra Beacons Mod | Nav Kneeboard | Community A-4E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
