Hi!

Is there any manual, how to use  CBU-2B/A?

I cant use them at all, cause my aircraft is always hit by my grenades.

1.  Fly level or slightly climbing.  Any attempt to drop these things while in a dive of any kind will have unfortunate consequences.

2.  Try to be above 400 ft AGL.  Any lower than that might have unexpected results.

3.  Practice.  Practice some more.  Than practice again.  I like using them on SAM sites.  Takes most of it out in one pass.  Zuni is probably more realistic, but man, those clusters taking out a SAM site are fun.

Sidekick has a great video on using them:

I‘m pretty sure if there is an incompatibility with the latest OB they will fix it in no time.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

First, I LOVE this mod!  I don't know specifically why, but its just fun to fly!  Sadly, I cannot seem to get rearmed at all, the ground crew just doesn't respond so I haven't tried other weapons. However in addition, LABS doesn't work. If i function select to it, I get no indication at all when I choose the bomb release. However if I move it to the next function (Bomb/Guns I think), then LABS lights up, but it doesn't tell me the bombs are released by going off.

Anyone have suggestions?

Would absolutely LOVE to have this officially in DCS! 

EDIT:  all the videos I have seen online indicate to select LABS which I have been doing.

If you mean LABS, the simulated A-4E does not have it, instead it has a CP741 bombing computer:

I might remember wrong but try to open the canopy when talking to the ground crew. 

Cheers!

Cool! Thx for the feedback. So the Skyhawk is innocent, but an update breaking a mod is not far fetched.

Hey @grimm862, check this post of mine, you'll find references to both multiplayer and single player content for the A-4E.

Hey @Skunk Cabbage, The Early Cold War servers have a dedicated A-4E Vietnam War themed server with various missions set in historical moments of the conflict; here's the link to the forum thread, you can find the link to their Discord in there

Not very populated, at least in EU early evening hours (say around 19-21 GMT), usually 3-4 players, but it's a PVE with AI friendly aircrafts, so you can play even by yourself, if you can't find anyone.

As you can see above, another server that host a mission with the A-4E is Alpenwolf Cold War 1947-1991 server; here's the link to the releavant forum thread:

And here's a link to the Arab - Israeli war mission that Alpenwolf runs:

I don't know of any other multiplayer content using the A-4E, if anyone knows any other server/mission using the mod, I'd appreciate it if you guys could point us to it.

As for single player, there's a mini (seven missions) Vietnam campaign in the User Files section of the website:

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3317148/

It's short, you have to pretend a lot (it's set in Caucasus, and there's basically no era correct assets around), but it's fun and does what it can to immerse you in the mood (there's even a "soundtrack" with '60s/'70s songs).

Beside it, there are Sidekick's mission, they're single ones, but well done and engaging (IMHO, of course)

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-sidekick65/apply/

You can see some of them - don't remember if it's all of them - on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/IainChristie/featured

There are other single missions of the User File section, but I haven't tried them.

That's all I got; again, if someone has other suggestions, please post them!

I searched this topic and did a general Google search and haven't found an answer regarding this problem. Have always had issues with mods in the past as some don't pass integrity and others require everyone to have them in order to just be able to see them. So I'll post my question here. We have 3 dedicated servers, two for group missions and one for training. I would probably test this on our SUPT server first before handing it off for submission. We have to carefully analyze any changes we want to suggest and they have to be tested thoroughly before being submitted.

1. This mod obviously requires that you have it installed on the dedicated server, and in the mission file you're running, any other files or changes required?

2. Does this mod require that every client that connects to the server have it installed as well?

3. What will happen if they don't have the mod installed in their client files?

2. yes.

3. they will not be able to connect and will see the missing required module listed with the server info (see photo clip below)

note: this is how all mods with added assets work in MP

1.  No other changes required for the server.

2. Mod dependency is tied to the mission.  If the active mission contains an A-4, then by default they will need the A-4 installed.

3. By default, they will not be able to join the server while the A-4 mission is active.  There is some trickery you can do in the mission file to remove the mod dependency (in which case, those without the mod will see a digital camo Flanker as a stand-in aircraft), but this must be re-done every time you edit/save the mission file.

Hi.

While I'm flattered that you are suggesting my missions, this mission set was edited for an older version of the Skyhawk Mod and don't work properly anymore. I will be deleting the file to prevent people getting frustrated with them.  I hope someday I will have the time to update them for the current version of the A-4E.

Best regards

With a THRUSTMASTER base, what would be the axis settings for the Pitch and the Roll. Thanks in advance for your answers.

You mean curves? 

Test for yourself to find the sweet spot that works for you. I have no curves but I have 2x20cm extensions and the blue spring from Sahaj.

Tried out AAR the other day, and aced it after a couple of hours. Time well spent. If I connect, (the hard for for me, but I'm getting better, trim is crucial), I never disconnect now. 😊
