Thinder Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) I played with both the stable version (v.1.3) and the latest beta version (v.1.4.b.12) of the Community A-4E-C today. Did some flights both from the SC and from the old Stennis. The new (beta) version of the A-4E works (sort of) with the cat on the SC, but there's no communication and there are at least two bugs I came across (see the video below). The stable version of the A-4E is wonderful, but only works with Stennis (though I did manage to take off without the catapult from SC). At any rate, here's the video for those who care to see it... Thanks! I'll do my carrier training with the stable version of the A-4 and Stennis, the carrier looks good enough for me... Edited June 10, 2020 by Thinder Win 11Pro. Corsair RM1000X PSU.

Biggus Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 What about the A-6 and E-2? They both flew in the Phantom era, but also off modern Nimitz afaik. Did they have a ship borne alteration, or were those aircraft modified for longevity? They both started as nose-tow birds. I assume that the shuttle was changed as required, but I have no idea how difficult that would have been to do.

I've never said the shuttle wasn't made for that, just that it is no more used. Of course the shuttle has a hook because... SEM used it before retirement.
