Community A-4E-C v2.3 (May 2025)

[Michelange]

Witch version of DCS are you running ?

I have the same problem when trying to enter in the cockpit in version 2.7 !

The answer is : This update, A-4E-C 2.1.0, and all subsequent updates will not be compatible with DCS versions before 2.8.0.32066

Yes !   I agree it.

In testing A-4E-C v2.1.0 on DCS 2.7.18 .30765 or 2.8.0 .33006 ---
 A-4E makes DCSW crashing only on 2.7.18 .30765 .

I’m loving the Scooter, great job dev team. Is this mod able to run with Soundshaker/Buttkicker? I know not all the game engine is exposed for community mods. Ty!

Bit of a Bug report.... but for some reason the ejector racks don't appear in my client. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks a lot for sharing, but I don't see an A-4E slot to fly in ... are you sure it is the correct mission?

 

Muchas gracias x compartir la misión, pero no me aparece un slot para volar el A-4E, ¿Estas seguro de que es la misión correcta?

What is the A-4 normal groove time?

It is 15-18 sec for the Hornet, and 17-25 sec for the Goshawk, but the A-4 NATOPS doesn't say.

Is there a list for ILS channels other than Caucasus map?

i do not believe there is one source for ALL charts. one has to do a little searching. though you can get from mission editor and F10 map while in flight. click on the blue runway icon to see the airport information. i did find a file that has Syria, Marianas, and NTTR. basically a bunch of JPGs kneeboard compatible and an accompanying PDF.

it is not mine( @CombatWombat ) to share though here is an example.

I use Aerodrome Data and Frequencies for a list of everything. Put the 1 or 2 page version in the Kneeboard for each map so it comes up for reference instead of the ones that come with them.

DCS updates to 2.8.1.34667.2

 

DCS World has updated to version 2.8 on its stable branch, so if you have been waiting to update to the A-4E-C v.2.1, now is the time to do so. Failure to update can cause crashes, and other additional errors when using radios, TACAN, and the ground radar systems.

 

Please do what you can to help spread to word to other users and server operators that feature the A-4E-C, as the best results are achieved in multiplayer when the server and client are both running the same version of the module.

 

We hope those of you who waited enjoy and appreciate the additions from the latest release! Thanks for flying, and download the latest version here:

Hello, I have the same mistake that JFCshloss related in page 15 on this thread.

I installed the 2.7.16 DCS version and 2.01 version of Community A-4E-C. I haven't mods installed.

If i lower my camera any further down screen goes black. I can only see that part of the instrumentation and not the rest of the cockpit located further down. I can see right, left or up views, but I can't look the central cockpit view because screen goes black.

 

Please, can somebody help me?

Regards.

 

I think these screenshots can help to solve this problem present in the last version as well. I hope that the creators of mods where visibility is not possible in the entire range from 3 to 140 degrees (A -4, SK 60 and others) will fix the bug and solve the problem.

Sorry for my Google English!

saw the A-4 on the new Eagle Dynamic upcoming 2023 and beyond video... does it mean anything?

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

It is very, very, very rare that ED includes non-modules in their videos, I tend to overthink, of course.

[Gianky]

Actually, they used the A-4 in other occasions... of course, it would be great if the A-4 would be adopted by ED as the third free module for the basic game. I honestly don't know why they didn't do that, yet!

This is like probably the 6th time or so ED and at least once also HB using A-4 in their promotional videos

[VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants]

That's why I say I tend to overthink...or I can be simply -- wrong.

Edited January 4, 2023 by VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants

[Oesau]

Yes we're probably overthinking/wanting/wishing it to be an official module but hey, how can you not when its featured twice in the 2023 AB video

 

[Gianky]

Well, we have some official replies

I like NineLine's reply better, that "as of right now" allows me to keep overthinking things!

Besides it being illegal, for the reasons mentioned on the very first page of this thread in the FAQ.

-edit

Actually, this FAQ is not as detailed as the old one. The short version : because the developers don't want to do that.

Well, the current FAQ goes like this:

«Q: Are there any plans to obtain the Eagle Dynamics SDK, make the module official, or make the module a part of the default DCS install package?

No, the A-4E-C will continue on as a free and open-source resource anyone can download and install to enjoy.»

What I was suggesting would be compatible, at least with the "free" and "anyone can download and installt to enjoy" parts, not sure about the open-source one. IMHO, having the A-4 as the third free (and only FF, combat ready) module of DCS World would be a win win for ED and the developers; maybe they could think about it one more time.

Because if it's commercialized it requires the License from McDonnel Douglas / Boeing, in which case, it would likely not be "free" after that.

This is not necessarily true look at the m-2000.

 The sun won't necessarily come up tomorrow, but statistically, it probably will. Also, in all this, people are continuing to ignore the developers themselves. You know, the people who own it and developed it.

 Unless they made some grand announcement lately I missed, they specifically said they don't want to because it is expensive, time consuming, legal headache (many people besides just the few currently involved have come and gone, they would ALL have to be contacted, so realistically all this they've done would go in the trash and they'd start from scratch, most mods do NOT make suitable ''professional conversions'' for this very reason), and they don't want to deal with the community demanding crap all the time.

 The first and foremost reason, legality and ''feasability'' aside, is because *they don't want to*. That is literally the single most relevant point, and that people don't get that reallllly drives home the part about them not wanting to deal with the community.
