fl0w Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Awesome! Very nice work! Just a quick question....does 'NO operational Radio', mean at release or No Radio - ever? As for me I'd trade Aim9s for a radio.... At any rate This is one I'm really looking forward to. Didn't even know this thread existed until today. What a cool surprise! Radio/Comms require you needing SDK. In this, it would need ASM. Edited August 2, 2018 by Sirius clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Radio/Comms require you needing SDK. In this, it would need ASM. That’s the part I don’t get :huh: No radio = no AA refuelling. But FC3 level simplified radio would allow to refuel ? Mirage fanatic ! I7-7700K/ MSI RTX3080/ RAM 64 Go/ SSD / TM Hornet stick-Virpil WarBRD + Virpil CM3 Throttle + MFG Crosswind + Reverb G2.

fl0w Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) A-4E Community mod has an ESM, which allows you to make your own systems. Simply "copying" FC3 level systems is simply not possible, not without using all of the FC3 systems. You would be flying an F-15C disguised as an A-4E if that were the case. SDK would allow you access to create ASM, which is the same as ESM with the exception of more advanced instrumentation, and radio communication. SDK is only accessible to 3rd party developers, which the A-4E community team is not. Edited August 2, 2018 by Sirius +SDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeroamer Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I wonder if this will ever become a full module.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tread_Head57 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I wonder if this will ever become a full module.. Many wish it would, however, the dev team (I refuse to call them simply a mod team) would have to form a business and enter into a business relationship with ED. Now enters all the complexity and legal mumbo-jumbo of running a business. The player side of me wished ED would just give these guys 3rd party status and let them make this a free addition to DCS world. The pragmatic side of me understands that if ED lets them add a full fidelity module for free to DCS, it will undercut their profits.

fl0w Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Besides profits being lost from a free module addition, the A-4E would have to undergo real testing, have real A-4E pilots confirm the systems, be re-coded into C++ for DLLs (iirc only mods do Lua, and the only time Lua is used is for testing purposes) and many other things. It definitely is a dream, but I don't see it capable of being done at this time until the community team work on it way further and do more work to it.

lunaticfringe Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The pragmatic side of me understands that if ED lets them add a full fidelity module for free to DCS, it will undercut their profits. Unless it were permitted to be a Su-25 analogue in the free release, thereby extending a limited performance carrier aircraft at no charge for interested players. And I'll be perfectly honest- for Western players, especially those interested in Vietnam to late 70's era aircraft such as those that will be forthcoming in the not so immediate future (MiG-19, F-4E, etc.), that's a big, BIG draw for those on the fence to see the legitimacy of what is on offer. Personally, I know a number of people whom I shared this announcement with this afternoon who will be installing DCS for the first time specifically to roll in the Skyhawk. I'd be hard pressed, were I ED, if this release hits on all the points for what an ESM-based mod can do, thereby proving this team has what it takes going forward, making a one-time offer for a not insignificant financial investment to pique their interest, and give them the tools required to get it over the ASM hump with the SDK.

Tomcatter87 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 This is looking so damn good, can't wait to try that bird out.

Scotch75 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Awesome work and kudos to all involved with getting the skyhawk "off the deck" lol... she looks a beauty! I wonder if someone may be able to produce a Royal Australian Navy 805 squadron skin? Admittedly it is an A-4G variant, which was tweaked from the US Navy specific A-4F. Nevertheless, they look essentially the same. Cheers!

joey45 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Fantastic. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Mimes Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Infinite excitement, This humble scooter, first flight in 1954 and still in service, what performance! Being flyable with such an awesome cockpit is just a cream on the cake of having this bird in DCS at all. Thank you for all your hard work.
