A-1H Skyraider Introduction

We are delighted to introduce a new third party developer, Crosstail Studios, who are developing the DCS: A-1H Skyraider. The ‘Spad’ excelled in the US Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force due to its immense payload and ability to loiter over the battlefield for extended periods. It also served with the British and French Air Forces.

The A-1H Skyraider is a single engine, low wing, attack aircraft that served most of its time during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Known for its ability to carry heavy ordnance loads, the Skyraider is powered by a Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone supercharged radial engine; the same engine that powered the B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber.

DCS: A-1H Skyraider will aim to be the most accurate representation of this aircraft for any flight simulator. Crosstail Studios has a partnership with the Cavanaugh Flight Museum, from which they have been given access to all aircraft, which includes two airworthy Skyraiders.

The Crosstail Studios team has spent an enormous amount of time recreating the A-1H Skyraider based on 3D scans from the aircraft located at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. Subject matter experts have guided the flight model characteristics and other key details. Crosstail also has the support of the A-1 Skyraider Association veteran’s community to aid in the development of this magnificent aircraft.

The Skyraider was primarily used to support combat search and rescue, and it helped save countless lives during the Korean and Vietnam wars. In a world quickly evolving into jet- turbine powered aircraft, the Skyraider still managed to have a long and successful service. In fact, the A-10 Warthog was designed with some of the characteristics of the Skyraider, including heavy ordnance load capabilities and long endurance.

Crosstail Studios is also proud to announce their partnership with Echo One Niner Audio Production who will produce the A-1H Skyraider audio! The Echo 19 team has extensive resources and a passion for recreating true-to-life audio experiences. With their help, the A-1H will come out of the box sounding fantastic.

A-1H Skyraider Development Progress

Our dedicated third party partners, Crosstail Studios have been hard at work refining the upcoming DCS: A-1H Skyraider module. We are delighted to share some existing progress. This module is designed to captivate veterans and newcomers alike and brings the glory days of the Vietnam War back to life in stunning detail.

We are thrilled to present the latest developments from Crosstail Studios' A-1H Skyraider module. Their dedicated team has been working tirelessly, achieving remarkable progress in multiple aspects to deliver an extraordinary aviation simulation experience centered around this iconic aircraft so loved by its pilots.

Flight Model Advancements:

Significant progress has been made to achieve a high level of FM realism. The seamless integration of ground effect and ground handling during taxiing provide an authentic feel to takeoffs and landings, while support for differential braking and a parking brake enhances the ground handling capabilities, ensuring precise maneuvering on the runway.

With the newly initiated cockpit shaking effects, which accurately simulate engine vibrate and atmospheric turbulence, you can immerse yourself in the thrill of aviation making each flight a true adventure. The further refinement of drag calculations for the various control surfaces ensure a realistic aircraft responsiveness and authentic flight realism. All control surfaces simulation is nearing completion and the hydraulic system is being implemented. Engine management, fuel consumption simulation, and the implementation of the onboard oxygen system and all progressing well. Additionally, the groundwork for future autopilot features has been programmed and the AN/APN-22 radar altimeter is operational.

High Poly Cockpit Progress:

The high poly cockpit is meticulously refined in every detail to create an unparalleled cockpit experience. The team of animators are also hard at work, adding lifelike animations to various cockpit elements, ensuring a truly immersive experience for every aviator. Furthermore, the skilled texturing artists are hard at work crafting intricate textures that will bring the A-1H Skyraider's cockpit to life, with every gauge and instrument being meticulously detailed. As a sneak peek into our progress, we are delighted to showcase rendered images of the cockpit, showcasing the incredible attention to detail.

Radar Weapon System Progress:

The team has achieved significant milestones with the AN/APS-6 Radar Pod, specifically tailored for the A-1H Skyraider. The detailed architecture design guarantees a seamless integration of hardware components, signal processing algorithms, and data integration, creating an authentic recreation of this early radar system. The successful implementation of core signal processing algorithms enables good aircraft detection and tracking. Currently, our functional radar prototype is undergoing rigorous testing and calibration, ensuring accurate and reliable results.

Future Development Efforts:

In addition to the very high attention to detail, the team are crafting lifelike animations and intricate textures that will breathe life into every gauge and instrument, providing an unparalleled cockpit experience. The team is dedicated to delivering a highly immersive and visually stunning environment that captures the essence of flying the iconic A-1H Skyraider.

Whether you're an air-to-air or air-to-ground enthusiast, this robust and versatile aircraft will undoubtedly become a favorite in your virtual hangar. Stay tuned as the project progresses towards the release of this remarkable addition to the DCS family. Discover the full experience of DCS: A-1H Skyraider and explore more at crosstailstudios.com!
