Ah ok, my bad, I didnt read the memo about the MCL.

Thats new since I last flew an ILS in the A-4.

 

It's working now

Many thanks.

 

Last question, is there audible ident for the ILS? Volume control etc?

There is no audio IDENT for the ILS only the tacan.

Im getting crazy. Is there a way to drop the center tank?

[Helles Belle]

From memory:

 

turn the EMER SEL knob to 3

pull EMER BOMB handle

[Eisprinzessin]

Thanks, i will try.

 

I was focused on the "Drop Tanks" switch left of start button.

I just downloaded this thing, and it seems awesome. I do question the accuracy of the FM, that role rate though. And departures seem a little to violent. But it seems on trak to be a really spectacular module. With that said is there any possibility it will be added as one of the free aircraft in DCS World? It woukd be a really good candidate I think. Lets you get a feel for air to ground, and even some air to air. It has interesting weapons, Walleye and Srike. And it can takoff, and land on boats.

720 deg/s is what you get irl and that's what you get in the module. Verified by a subject matter expert.

I read on Twitter that 2.0 release is close. Right?

Yeah, that's what I was looking at.

Yep, that's a nice skin. I'll PM you.

Question, and apologies if this has been brought up earlier and I missed it but would you be willing to add the A-4 into the game as an AI asset? I actually spoke to I think it was Chizh or Nineline, he said they'd gladly get it done, they just need a yes from the main devs that is you guys. 

 

Please consider this as it can be implemented into various servers without having to break IC. Many servers like the Cold War server could really use the A-4 in so many missions

Hi...I've got a couple dumb questions:  First, a friend of mine got the A-4, and he doesn't seem to be able to hear the the AIM-9 sounds.  I have him following my instructions- master arm on, bombs/rockets selected, and correct pylon selected.  He can fire a missile, but he never hears either the standard growl or the lock on tone.  Does he need to have some other mod or airplane installed to hear it?  I have a number of paid airplanes and I hear it fine, so I was wondering if that was it.

 

Other question: If you have multiple pylons selected with AIM-9's on them, is there anyway to make it so they don't all fire at once?  Or do I just have to select them one at a time?  I had seen a video a while back where they guy had all pylons selected, but only one Sidewinder would fire on each trigger pull.

 

Thanks!

[Frederf]

Only one AIM-9 should fire. I always have both switches up and you're only supposed to hear the priority audio (i.e. from next missile to fire). To fire two AIM-9s it should always take two trigger presses. Perhaps your friend did something odd like not uninstalling a previous version and overwriting with a newer version?

I read somewhere else that the F-22 interfered with the sidewinder growl in another module.
Maybe worth a check to see if he has it installed.
Cheers!

He does not have that one installed.  But at least the F-22 replaces the Sidewinder growl/tone with another one.  He's just got nothing.

 

What I'm starting to wonder is if it's because he has no paid modules (he's just starting), so he'd have no planes installed that actually have the Sidewinder sounds.

This wasn't the issue, however, your post "triggered" me into figuring it out!  I have a VKB NXT with a two stage trigger.  I had the first detent mapped to gun/rocket fire, and for some reason the second detent mapped to bomb release (it should have been mapped to the red pickle button, so not sure how I managed that).  Anyway, apparently the "bomb release" will also fire the missiles, so when I was pulling the trigger fully, it was firing one missile, and then a second missile.  Moving the bomb release off the trigger solved it, so thanks!

HI all,

 

I'm not able to use LABS at all. I hae everything set correctly according to various youtube tutorials, but when I press the pickle button, nothing happens...

(radar AG mode, master arm on, stations on, ripple set, selector to LABS). Anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

Thanks.

if you are using version 2 of the mod, I understand that it doesn’t have Labs

 

try version 1.4 instead

If you're trying to use the computer aided bombing, you need to set the switch to "computer" (CMPTR) instead of LABS.

 

Although some YT videos show using the LABS selector, it doesn't work for this version, but the CMPTR selector does.

Hope this helps.

I find the gunsight is dimmer than pre-beta-4. It is quite hard to see in daylight. Keep up the great work. 

 

Even with the brightness turned all the way up, I'm finding the gunsight hard to see in daylight also. Aside from that, the A-4E is probably my favorite plane to fly.

Wish more MP servers had it, but I understand why they don't. Just glad we've got the Vietnam server hosting it. It's been great flying the mud moving missions.
