TuTu Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 hello everyone, do you know if the tacan can switch to the Yankee band? if so how do we do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianky Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 AFAIK, it should operate only in X band. As a matter of fact, on a 1977 NATOPS for the A-4E/F it's stated that the A-4 can operate only the X-band, so the mod should be correct this way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deck officer decided how things were run. If you have evidence of A-4's being pulled around the deck by tractors, from parking to cat, and from landing zone to parking, I'm sure we'd all love to see it. Never too old to learn something new. not a tractor but there are lots of pics from vietnam era using towbars. there are at least two on this site. https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/a-4-skyhawk.html other cool photos too. 3 AKA_SilverDevil AKA Forums My YouTube “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plusnine Posted October 19, 2023 Author Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) A-4E-C and DCS OpenBeta 2.9 Update Good afternoon, A-4E-C pilots. If you're updating to DCS 2.9, be advised the A-4E-C's radios are not compatible with this update, and using their functions will probably result in the client crashing. This can include using the communication radio, VOIP radios, TACAN and MCL (ILS) systems. We'll be working on a fix to issue along with some other changes as soon as it is feasible to do so, so hang tight and have patience. The issue is on the tracker here: https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c/issues/614 Edited October 19, 2023 by plusnine 5 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Eyed Ross Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Rats. This is going to seriously cut in to my DCS time, since I fly the A-4 almost exclusively..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calabrone Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Too bad. I fly almost exclusively in the Huey, but occasionally get my ass in the seat of the A4, the only plane I do some flying in. Fix it as soon as possible thanks Edited October 21, 2023 by Calabrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG-51_Razor Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Back to the deck handling qualities of this A-4C MOD, it is true that the Navy had a "J" bar available to help maneuver the Scooter around when necessary whether they used it or not, but the bottom line here is that the brake effectiveness in the model is not sufficient to allow a normally competent sim pilot to maneuver the Scooter where he wants it to go while on the flight deck with a nominal wind of around 30+ knots blowing over it. This is one of the more annoying aspects of the Scooter that makes me not fly it as much as I'd like to. Otherwise, for the most part, it is a lot of fun to fly! 4 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird - don't know what happened. If I have a 4 plane flight leave a carrier, usually lose one of them to crashing into the sea. Another thing is "Bingo fuel, ejecting". I don't think it is the A-4, but the AI for DCS. It does strange things sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plusnine Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Hello, A-4E-C Pilots! This new version adds some exciting features like new damage effects, ADF, improved radios and new nosewheel castering simulation. This version of the A-4E-C requires DCS version 2.9, which as of release, is only available on the OpenBeta branch of DCS World. If you're still playing DCS World version 2.8, you'll want to stick with the version 2.1.1 for now. You can download older versions from the A-4E-C Releases page. Remember that in multiplayer, server and client versions of the A-4E-C must match, so be sure you are in sync with your favorite server's configuration when playing online! https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c/releases/tag/v2.2 Version 2.2 - 27 Oct 2023 Added A new NWS (that's Nosewheel Simulation, mind you) makes correcting turns on the ground much easier, and eliminating the "stuck wheel" feeling due to over-braking in taxi. Amaze your friends with your drifting skill! AN/ARC-51 UHF Radio supports DCS VOIP radios. In addition to Radio Microphone Push-to-Talk (PTT) Transmit binding for sending to VOIP radio, a second Radio Microphone Push-to-Talk (PTT) Guard bindings allows the pilot to transmit to the guard frequency when the radio is in TR+G mode. These two bindings function identically to the DCS default "cockpit r.1 VoIP PTT" and "cockpit r.2 VoIP PTT" bindings, respectively, and you can use them instead if you wish. See the Updated AN/ARC-51 UHF Radio guidance on page 1-2 in the Kneeboard Manual for additional details. AN/ARN-25 Automated Direction Finder (ADF) system is now modeled for use with the AN/ARC-51 UHF Radio. Information on using the equipment is detailed in the Kneeboard Manual on page 1-3. Weapons: AIM-9J and AIM-9P3 are available on inboard and outboard stations. AGM-45B Shrike is available loadout options on inboard and outboard stations. 2.75" Hydra rockets are available loadout options with LAU-3 (19 rocket) and LAU-68 (7 rocket) launchers, including white phosphorous, HE, HEAT, as well as Mk1, Mk61, and WRU-1/B practice munitions to the loadout options. LAU-68 launchers also allow loadouts with Para Illum and Practice Smoke Hydra rockets. Outboard stations support 1 launcher, inboard stations up to 2, and up to 3 can be added on the centerline station. AN/ASQ-T50 TCTS ACMI pod is available on inboard and outboard stations. Enhanced damage modeling: In addition to Reduced effect of transient forces to prevent wake breaking wings, and improved engine damage. The following system failures can be triggered by damage, or selected as a failure in mission editor: Radar Receiver Gear Jamming Gear Actuator Pitot Tube Static Port Boost Pump Wing Pump Aileron Actuators Elevator Actuator Rudder Actuator Wing Tank Leak Fuselage Tank Leak Engine and Inlet Cold Start, Taxi, Takeoff, and Free Flight missions for the Sinai map are available in the Instant Action. Input bindings: Else option for the Chaff Dispenser Select added (for a 3-position switch). Radar Altitude Warning - Slew axis. Changed Standardized naming conventions for loadouts with multiple ejector racks, and provided additional detail for weapon payloads original to the A-4E-C. Recalculated the weight of rocket launcher pod payloads. Kneeboard Manual: Updated AN/ARN-52 TACAN guidance on page 1-3. Updated Airfield Radio and ILS data on page 1-4, which can now accomodate up to 30 entries, making it compatible with the contents of the Sinai map. Updated Shrike and Sidewinder delivery guidance on page 3-5. Updated AN/APR-25 Radar Homing and Warning System guidance on page 3-6. Compressed images for smaller file size and faster loading. Fixed TACAN and MCL system crashes. The AN/ARC-51 UHF Radio volume knob now adjusts radio and VOIP radio volume. The AN/APG-53A Radar OBST tone and AN/APR-25 RHWR audio properly route to the Helmet sound channel. Black lines along center and around the nose cones of fuel tanks have been removed. Malaysia TUDM livery uses the provided custom fuel tanks. Station arming switches no longer produce a debug printout with the weapon selector in the BOMBS & GM ARM position. Loadout option inaccuracies in the Kneeboard Manual on page 1-6 are corrected. Eliminated Kneeboard Manual typos in page reference annotations.
