Decided to try out something new, let me know what you guys all think since you are all A-4E fans :)

[sidekick65]

See what happens when you put 3 factories, 24 Skyhawks, over 50 AAA guns, two dozen Mk. 83 bombs and a couple hundred Zuni rockets together and shake vigorously

That is some awesome work. Wish I was that accurate with bombs in the skyhawk. Manual Bomb delivery a real challenge

Just loaded the A4 to the latest update & have a question if anbody can help

 

I see in the Control Bindings some Speed Hold Commands (under the category Modes) but I haven't been able to find any reference to an "in flight" AutoThrottle as opposed to the APC.

 

Does such a control exist in the A4 or do these controls not do anything?

 

Any help would be much appreciated

[ghostdog688]

I am unaware of any kind of speed hold, but I’d guess if there was, the APC would be the one for it. It’s an automatic throttle for landing, and the tomcat and hornet all have different terminology but similar functionality.

This is gonna sound really stupid, and yes.... I've tried searching. Nosewheel steering? How to turn on/off? No binding in controls for me and I have the most current module

It doesn't have operative its on/off switch ... so, it's always on. Hopefully, once the developers finish its revamping of the flight model it will be added.

Lol, I literally cannot steer my plane on the ground though... I can go in a straight line though, haha!

 

*Edit - Nvrmmd... I am a bit slow today apparently. Thanks!

Strange .. the nosewheel steering works just fine for me .. maybe its an issue with your Hotas controls:

Absolutely was. In my haste I glossed over axis, saw rudder mapped, completely missed it was mapped on my throttle, not pedals. My bad!

Plans for an A-4M or OA-4M? ARBS and fac capability would be A MAZ ING

[Shmoo42]

Anything advanced is probably not going to happen, because its locked behind the SDK. However, a simple aggressor A-4M (without anything fancy like most guided munitions or a targeting pod) would likely be possible if you wanted to give it a go.

[pakeitor]

Very nice work, thanks a lot for the job, whith this mod.

[Wardog21]

First off, I love this beautiful Mod. Thank you for all of your hard work and continued dedication.

 

Does the portable tacan stations ED recently added not work with the A-4E? I have verified they do work with my other ED aircraft, so I know that I'm using them correctly in the mission editor, but have tried numerous times to get the A-4E to pick up the portable tacan stations with zero luck. Normal tacan stations on the map and carriers work, but not the portable tacan station. Just to be clear, this is the ED portable tacan station, not a mod.

Ummmm..... YAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!

When I try to set the Lat/Long for the destination or present position, I have to hold down the mouse button and then use the mouse wheel to change the numbers.  Is that correct?  If so, this is not easy to do.  I have tried to use key commands with a button box, but that does not seem to move the dials.  Any thoughts?

it took several years of work for a generous team of members of this community, to develop this A-4E ... why don’t we simply enjoy flying it, instead of requesting more work to  be done just to fly another version?

it’s a bug, and its already reported:

Hey Mate! My apologies... I was just voicing my enthusiasm for an aircraft that I fell in love with during my childhood.

 I truly didn't mean to offend. No need to start any of that rubbish right?

I am absolutely *not. at. all.*  ungrateful for the A-4E... It's a fantastic mod.

 

I hope you are safe and well! Please tell the wife and daughter I said 'Hello!' Cheers!!

Here's me taking the good old A-4E up against an F-16C (armed with two AIM-120C and two AIM-9M). Hope you enjoy the video!

Ive been getting lots of game crashes recently. I've been going through the log files and have posted on other mod posts about errors relating to particular mods. I've started loading DCS and reviewing the log without going into a mission to try and narrow down any errors. My log shows the following sound path errors. are there any current bugs or something I need to do to clear these errors or do thy relate to something else other than the A4 mod?. I have the latest version of the A4 installed.

this is a community work, nothing stopping you from step up and Actively help with the development, so that it gets finished sooner.

[archer86]

Aim was only ask for if any news about development update, not judge or interrogate. 
Only an ordinary question, nothing more. 
I wish I could help

Hi, sorry Farlander and myself were busy for a few months up to Christmas. Hence the lack of updates. Just last weekend however we did another test event for the A-4 EFM. If you want to keep better up to date you should join our discord. 

 

The EFM is nearing release, we are just polishing and fixing bugs at the moment. There is no firm release date yet however.
