Citizen Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 It looks like - at least on this carrier - they taxied under their own power. 21:20 shows that, again at least on this carrier, they had steering assist via towbar to catapult. It's really disconcerting to see flight deck personnel run underneath moving aircraft. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
