-0303- Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Is there subforum here (not github) for bug discussions? I think more people would discuss them here. Dedicate a bug forum to it here. This could weed out known issues before posting to the Github place. I believe there's panel lighting bugs reminiscent of all the lightning bugs affecting a lot of DCS planes (Spitfire, Su-33 ...) also affects A-4E. The wheels warning light and the AoA lamps definitely display the same color error as the Spitfire LG lamps. Differential wheel braking doesn't work. Braking one brakes both. It explodes to easily on the carrier. Controls Indicators doesn't work.

toilet2000 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 ED Owning a License for the F/A-18C has nothing to do with another independent company wanting a license for an A-4E Skyhawk. Licensing Fee is not the problem, if the team is not selling the product. The Last developer that stated the A-4E was dropped due to license fee was because they planned to sell the product. As for SDK, it is restricted to licensed development teams for a reason. Beoing still owns all the rights to the A-4 Skyhawk, The Lockheed Martin A4-AR is essentially an A-4M Upgraded w/ F-16 (Lockheed Martin) Avionics they were contracted to do the Upgrade, that's the only reason the A4-AR is referred to as Lockheed Martin Fighting Hawk. With the A-4E's Level of Tech, the only thing the lack of SDK Access limits is Radios. Everything else can be done without it. Actually, some weapons can't be added due to the lack of SDK, namely the Walleyes, the Mavericks and the Bullpups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey45 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 SFM limitation I think. It doesn't have NWS so it uses the wheel brakes to steer.

Callsign Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Wasn't there a plan for a USS Oriskany mod to complement the A-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyBtown Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Wasn't there a plan for a USS Oriskany mod to complement the A-4? Yes, the Oriskany was being planned back when Merker was part of the dev team. When Merker left due to personal reasons I think the dev team decided they wanted to focus on getting A-4E-C more complete and taking care of the bugs that came up or was placed on the fix list. Note this was all before DCS Super Carrier was even announced. I'm not sure what the overall plan is next for the Dev team other than guessing.

Harlikwin Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Wasn't there a plan for a USS Oriskany mod to complement the A-4? I think M3 plans to make an Essex class for their F4U and F8J so hopefully the A-4 mod will work with that. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

sidekick65 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 ... and speaking of the Stennis and the A4. Sorry couldn't pass up the segue... Here is a link to a video that I made to showcase the A4 mod and some of things that you can do with it. This video (which features some video footage of the Stennis) is actually a review of some other videos I have been making that show the kinds of missions you can fly with the A4. Take a look. I'd love some feedback. I'd also be happy to hear suggestions for the subjects of future videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have very good videos, I’ve learned a lot of details from them .. could you do one about landing on the Stennis?

sidekick65 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hmmm... OK. I will think about that. The dirty little secret is that I use the time code on the screen to sync the video to the mission time line. I actually make several recordings of the mission and then cut them together. I can probably find another way to do that. Appreciate the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found I'm most successful if I basically crash it down, yes really, after the first wire. I made it my mission once to trap 10 in a row, which I managed after a couple of hours. I have a track and TacView somewhere. Don't remember how many traps/misses I got eventually, but quite a lot. I stopped when a got the 10th in a row, was quite tired at that point. Just to be clear. No "recovery procedures". Just got it down. Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
