@Abitar,

Sound great is there a way to get your upgrade ?

Thank you by advance , best regards

I figured it would work, since it has rockets and bombs for training, so I just added some A-4 rockets and bombs to the T-45 (I know it's not realistic for the T-45, but it is for other versions, I think you can tell since I'm using a fictional repaint based on the Brazilian AMX lol). It also has a gun option and a working trigger, I don't know if it's possible to add this weapon, or a Gunpod that works, maybe in the centerline, which is where the Hawk T1A uses it, I'd like to.

I'm still testing a few things, but if you want I can send you the file I changed...

I noticed there is a missing texture on the throttle from external view, barely noticable

I installed the VNAO T45 mod update recently.  I have successfully exported the MFDs to small mfds using HELIOS.  My questions are in regards to interaction with the Supercarrier.

1. I downloaded the training missions for the T45 from DCS.   I completed the first two but the third taxi and launch mission on the super carrier has issues.  I start to taxi...the first yellow shirt tries to direct me the opposite direction from the training dialogue.  I taxi out based on the dialogue but receive no further deck crew directions.  Nothing from the cat director so cannot hookup and launch.  What am I missing?
2. I have read about the non-folding wing issue with the supercarrier.  Is that part of the issues here?

I have flown sims and real aircraft for 50+ years.   Started with MSFS1 and have owned and flown every sim ever produced so I have thousands of hours in military aircraft in various sims.  I have quite a number of DCS modules but wanted to refresh for carrier ops with the T45.  I can fly the F18 but enjoy the simplicity of the T45. Would appreciate some feedback and guidance.  Thanks

Hello,

I’ve edited some training missions for the T-45, but i’m no sure if you are using my mission or one from another author. Mine works like this:

Hi Rudel,

I’ve tried to find your T-45 training missions in the user files but can’t find them. Do you have a link.

Much appreciated.

Hello,

I’m re-making them for the upcoming T-45 v1.2, they will be included within the updated version so it won’t be neccesary to download them from user files. The older missions are not available anymore as they didn’t work properly on the current DCS version.

best regards,

Hi Rudel, I am using your missions.  Have watched videos from various users.  For some reason the interaction of the T45 with the deck crew is not normal.

The mission files in the zip are dated 2024 and 2021.  So the file downloaded from DCS may not be current.  A statement on the DCS download site says "Missions by Rudel_chw and FR3SH"

Any estimate of release for the T45 V1.2?

 

This is the link to the current download page...
Missions Zipped for basic VNAO T-45C Mod 

If these are old let me know.  Thanks

hello,

the original missions were meant to be used with the Stennis free carrier, not with the supercarrier, so they cant interact with the deck crew.

the file was uploaded without my permission, I’ve just checked my personal messages and can’t find any request for them. The missions were created on 2021 and thus they are not really compatible with the current version of DCS.

I deleted this mission set and will wait for VNAO T45 V1.2 and the new mission set.
