Evoman Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) The T-45 Goshawk would be the ideal aircraft to be included with the free DCS download. That way new comers to DCS can start training landing on carrier decks and thus resulting in more interest in buying the Naval modules. I hope some things could be worked out with ED to make it happen. Edited February 19, 2021 by Evoman 3

Alexsandr - I think we all share your excitement and enthusiasm for this aircraft and are eagerly looking forward to it's release. I suspect you probably have loads more questions, most of the answers are in the 9 pages of this thread and others will be answered when the release comes out. So I am guessing the answer to your exact question is "yes" - the real winner for us all will be whether ED will share some of their structures so as to allow things like radios etc to integrate really well rather than the developer of the T-45 having to always chaise & modify their aircraft to play catch up every time ED updates it's software. 3

MadMaxter Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 Testing always continues on every patch and version of DCS that is released. We have no reason to suspect at this time that the 45 will not work in any future versions, including 2.7 On 2/15/2021 at 9:49 AM, Copprhead said: @MadMaxter just saw the Reapers interview from 2 month ago where you stated that adding the radio is not possible without SDK. Most likely you are already aware that the A-4E now has a working radio. We have initial tests where we have SRS working. The other radios and controls are being looked at. I don't mean to mislead. All things are possible. Just more difficult without an open SDK. But we will continue to work hard to make as much possible. 2 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Proud founder of VNAO and current deck jockey with VFA-103:pilotfly::pilotfly:

Katalan Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 Fly this plane a lot years ago with FSX, it will be a pleasure to fly it again, now with an extended functionalities inside DCS enviro. I'm feel excited!! 1
KWard Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 This aircraft has MFDs in the cockpit, correct? Would these Thrustmaster MFDs be a useful purchase?
Rick50 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 I can't remember the available loadouts for T-45.... I know the British Hawks can use Sidewinder Aim-9, but does the USN ever put 'Winders on the Goshawk? Or is the T-45 even wired for, and cleared for "heaters" at all?

No. Bomb racks (practice), rocket pods or fuel tanks. 1 - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
joey45 Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 Thought it was only wired for fuel tanks. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

The T-45C is strictly a Naval jet trainer. No active weapons, however it does have training bombs and rockets. The bombs and rockets are intended to be included with the T-45C upon initial early access release. They have already been tested in CCIP mode.

Yes, it does have to multifunction displays and we are trying to get all the controls that are active on the place to be profiled in the controls settings. This would include TM MFDs and indeed any other controls that can be recognized by DCS. 2 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Proud founder of VNAO and current deck jockey with VFA-103:pilotfly::pilotfly:

MadMaxter Posted March 5, 2021 Author Posted March 5, 2021 Rest assured we are burning the midnight oil to get this bird to early access release. Until then, here are some preview shots from our media vault. Remember, these are WIP shots and are subject to change.
