heclak Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Already fixed the catapult issues. Most like TACAN too as they are all related. The latest build is out with the testers now. Waiting for them to test and get back with new findings.

heclak Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hello DCS pilots! Today we are releasing a minor patch that addresses some of the more critical issues with the Community A-4E for DCS World. This is a compatibility patch which addresses the changes in the lighting engine in DCS World as well as the new MIZ file format that affected the use of the catapult with the Community A-4E. We hope that you have been enjoyed flying the Community A-4E and we hope to see you in the virtual skies! Download the latest version here: https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c/releases/tag/v1.4.1 Find more information on the Community A-4E project page: https://heclak.github.io/community-a4e-c/ Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/tQZbkTQ Version 1.4.1 - 2 September 2020 Added added dimming wheel on angle of attack indexer ladder lights will now dim when INST LIGHT knob is in any position other than the OFF position for night operations glareshield lights will now dim when INST LIGHT knob is turned up past the first 20% (approximately) Changed changed warning lights to use additive_self_illuminated shader as transparent_self_illum has been deprecated in DCS 2.5.6.50321 updated brightness range for the gunsight updated cockpit lighting brightness for DCS lighting changes gunsight brightness is now a logarithmic function to allow for better brightness control tweaked glareshield annunciator textures for night lighting (a-4e_lights_1, a-4e_instr_details_1) updated texture for gear handle (a-4e_instr_bckgd_3) Deprecated Removed removed payload option to load incomplete buddy pod Fixed fixed clickspots on throttle where they do not track the position of the throttle fixed incorrect spelling for TRIMMER SWITCH - LEFT WING DOWN updated carrier detection code for MIZ file version 18 Twitch | Viggen ELINT App | Community A-4E-C Module | Community A4-E Guide | Throttle detents for Hornet/Viggen/F-15C and other 3D printed parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streakeagle Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Already fixed the catapult issues. Most like TACAN too as they are all related. The latest build is out with the testers now. Waiting for them to test and get back with new findings. I have only tried one mission that was having problems so far. The patch seems to fix the navigation computer, but not the TACAN. I still hear no TACAN and see "off" when TACAN is selected as the the source for navigation. Whereas someone flying an F-5E in the same mission can use the same TACAN channel without any issues.

Doc3908 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) VIDEO: Practicing Carrier Landing Here's a video of my carrier landing practice. The video is of the full practice, but I've sped the playback through the "tedious" parts. Overall, the new 1.4.1 version of the A-4E is much more stable than the 1.4 version. The plane is now fun to fly and I haven't run into any "exploding while taking off" issues with either the Stennis or the Supercarrier boats. The flight model is...well...what it is... But if you don't take it too seriously, this is a fantastic free module - on par with many of the paid modules.

WRCRob Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Is it just me or does the gunsight look unusually large? I feel like it should fit inside the glass and be fully visible when in the default cockpit camera view. Is there a way to adjust this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baco Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) That Sight is graduated in Mills. If you change teh size you throw away the graduation.. so no there is no way to change the size as there is not a way in the real HUD. Its not a decoiration. ;) Now if the Actual Scale of it is right or wrong that much I do not know. althow it looks kind of accurate..

jacobs Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The last video is cool, but that system is way more modern than what we have on A-4E. It was developed for A-4M, and harrier uses it too. About the size of the sight, it looks accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baco Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 "New" Bug.. When you force the Mission Editor to let Aircrafts "Take off from Ground", the A4 spawns with the Gear up...

Snappy Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Dear Developers of the A-4 , can't remember where exactly I read this, but I think it got mentioned somewhere, that an EFM is under developement to improve the flight modelling of the A-4. Is this correct? If so, how are things progressing if I may ask. Thanks a lot for this super fun Scooter! Kind regards, Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil 505 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 DEVS, With the new MB-339A team becoming a new Third Party Dev, have you ever considered going full third party? I would gladly pay full price for you to unlock the full capabilities to develop this module to its fullest. I think this would be a great addition so many have and still want fully done with EFM. Please consider it or maybe start a separate poll to see if anyone would back you on it. Wish you the best and greatly appreciate the free version, but you gents really should get paid for the top notch work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 With the new MB-339A team becoming a new Third Party Dev, have you ever considered going full third party? This Mod is the result of a community effort, many people that developed this on their free time. I sincerely doubt that they would have the intention of leaving their current day-jobs to form a third party company for turning this into a payware Module.
