Very Nice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Pretty far along for a Mod!!

As you watch the video, take a very close look at the silouett shot right after he selects the aircraft and weapons. There is a picture of an A-4 in the air for just a second or two that shows a buddy pack on the center pylon. Very interesting!
Archimaede, who is in some way associated with this team, is developing a model of the AD Skyraider, which is also shown with a buddy pack on the centerline pylon.

What is a buddy pack?

Gas bag for tit suckers!!!

That is freaking AWESOME!! The thing that really keeps me interested in this mod is that Archimedes, one of the team members on this project, is working on a Douglas AD Skyraider also. He says that work is suspended at the moment while he devotes all of his time and energy to the A-4 but I have a good feeling that once the Scooter is done, he will drag Gospodin and the rest of the A-4 team over to the AD. All we need then would be an angled deck Essex class carrier! Oh Wait!! They are already working on that as well! :thumbsup:

This is really beginning to get my attention!!

You can certainly tell it is a project of passion... They keep going on like this you never know they may pick up 3rd party status..
-
No, I don't think that will happen. I believe that I have seen something somewhere in the forums about Douglas - or whomever owns them now - not wanting to allow the use of their handy work in a flight sim for less than a large fortune. As long as it is put out as freeware, there is nothing they can do about it. I always thought that as long as you don't mention their name, you could even put it out there commercially but I guess not.

Features NOT Included in the Community A-4
- Operational Radio
- Air to Air Refueling (Dependent on Radio)
- Buddy Air to Air Refueling
- Non-boresight AIM-9 Launch
- F/A-18 Fidelity Carrier Takeoff
- Nuclear Weapons Deployment
No air to air refueling is a huge disappointment! I am confident thought that they will eventually get it figured out. I mean, if the mod community was able to get the F/A-18C to tank, I'm sure there is a solution for this one :thumbsup:
I wonder what they mean by "Operational Radio"?? Hitting the \ key doesn't bring up the comms menu? If that is true, it means that the whole DCS world will not recognize the Scooter as even being in the game. No AWACS, no calls to the carrier to get them to turn on the lights, etc.
-
I took that as in the first release...maybe wishful thinking but eventually I'm sure it could be hammered in there. Heck, maybe ED will help them out?

Doesnt look like I'll be getting this when it's released. Its not complete enough for me to want to fly it.

That's OK Flyguy, I'll get it and be your opponent in Top Gun :thumbsup: Here's another update from Merker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=XntP0UX-Jqs

I highly recommend that everybody downloads this and installs it in Saved Games>Mods>aircraft. If there isn't an aircraft folder there, just create one. You don't have to fly it but if you don't have it, you won't see it when some of the rest of us are flying it. :thumbsup: For the moment, it has fairly limited utility without being able to communicate on the radio but apparently the Shrike works fairly well so we now have another anti-radiation missile to compliment the Sidearm. :thumbsup:
-
I got up last night. Watching 10 MK81's coming off the racks at once while overflying the fuel farm in Flyguy's mission was really cool. Also landed first pass on the Stennis

It's been out for a bit but forgot to link it, someone started a 'guide' on the Scooter: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cUH7jpAoGHm-IzUDnv_NDhiZlvX55Q9WvpgR1d9ksYY/edit#slide=id.p
-
Any idea what the effective range for the Shrike is?
-
According to this vid, about 14 miles and no more than 3 degrees off the nose:

14 miles is great! I would figure out a way to get the Scooter pointed in the right direction via the ME. :thumbsup:
