MAXsenna Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hi, I can't seem to bind the A-4's (v.2) hook up/down action to my Warthog. The configuration utility makes the assignments to the appropriate throttle switches, but the switches do nothing. Tried different switches - same result. Even tried the stick and still no-go. I have a similar problem with the master-arm switch. Everything else (LG, flaps, spoilers, etc.) binds and works just fine. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else tried to bind the hook to a switch? Thanks, Doc By the way, it would be nice if there was a toggle for the hook (like there is for the LG). Otherwise you need either a 3-way switch or two separate switches for the hook-up and the hook-down. There are DIY ways to edit the Lua to make this works.Have a look in the T-45 mod thread where some has put some examples. I'm trying to learn his to myself.Search for@LeCuvier's guide in the forum.Cheers! Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded the A4 files and created the main bindings plus tail hook.

Pappy2 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Good morning all, I have a special request for two skins of this beautiful plane. These two decorations are in particular A4 because their pilots managed to achieve a victory in flight by destroying the Migs with their rockets. Thanks again to the creators of the Skyhawk A4. The first is the Unit A-4H: 109 tajeset "The Valley", series IDF / AF: 03 (03109) Israel, in 1970. On May 12, 1970, Major Ezra "Baban" Dotan (also known as "M.Skyhawk") shot down two Syrian MiG-17s. The first MiG was shot down by air-to-ground rocket bursts, the second by bursts of 20mm guns. At that time, the Israeli Skyhawks were not equipped with an air-to-air mode sight. The No. 03 aircraft of "The Valley" squadron was lost on October 18, 1973, the pilot was recovered. Réf: http://www.cieldegloire.com/016_dotan_e.php The second is the Douglas A-4C Skyhawk 148609 c / n 12802 was delivered to VA-64 in 1961. After spending time with VA-64 and VA72, # 148609 was assigned to VA-76 "Spirits" in 1964 as NP-685. The VA-76 was deployed to Vietnam aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard when on May 1, 1967, during a sortie against Kép air base, LCDR Ted "TR" Swartz flying on No. 148609 shot down a MiG-17 over northern Vietnam with an unguided Zuni missile, making it the only time a Skyhawk has achieved an air-to-air victory in the Vietnam War. Lieutenant Commander Swartz received the Silver Star for his action.

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I like the new engine sound in the Beta-4, and new keys to bind. But at first, my profiles for joystick and throttle are all wrong. Fortunately, I note down the mapping on a spreadsheet and it is fine now. I still notice the fuel pump warning when I am in active pause. Thanks for the update. VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

Yea the fuel pump thing in active pause is strange, haven't looked at it yet though since it's quite low priority for the moment.

Baco Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 if you increase throttle the light goes away, so it might have something to do with fuel flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNelson Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 20 hours ago, Baco said: if you increase throttle the light goes away, so it might have something to do with fuel flow. They are referring to the defect where you use active pause and the engine will shut down. The fuel trans light coming on at low RPM is correct/realistic behaviour this is because the bleed air from the engine is not strong enough to power the wing transfer pump so the pressure is reduced, indicated by the light. This light will also come on when the wing tank is empty since there is no pump pressure. 2 Community A-4E-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahuuna Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hello to all. I am having trouble keeping my updated keyboard and joystick profiles with these new releases of the A-4. I setup my TFlightX and my keyboard and then use the 'save profile as' for each, but they will not save. After i input the name that i want to use and hit 'ok' the save file dialog jumps to the upper dir ../config/input and then i can either hit ok or cancel. either way, nothing is being saved. I have re-installed dcs-openbeta, and the mod. i have run dcs as admin. and still am having this strange behavior. other mods that i have added, like the F-105 D and G, F-104 etc are all saving OK and as expected. Any idea as to what i might be doing wrong???? Thanks for any help / ideas and also thanks for this great mod..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Save as" etc. are only for backup purposed. Did you upgrade the module without deleting the settings in your "Saved Games" folder?Cheers!
