    I helped the developers with this mod. At the time, I was working on a Marine Corp base that has a A-4 on display. They asked if I could take a lot of pictures, especially the gear. The MPs had questions, but didn't stop me from doing so. :D

      And you know how I know you're full of it.. No way would you have been left out of any sort of thanks or recognition that you contributed. And your name isn't listed anywhere in the docs for the aircraft. Though they thanked a lot of people for help on it. Checked for all your social names, and real name, in the docs and found no reference to you. Not a single mention of you anywhere. Even after asking the Devs on the forums their was zero reference to you.

    DCS is often criticized for being an expensive game to play and there is some merit to the argument when I look around at all the peripherals and modules I have bought over the years. On the other hand, with an old joystick lying around you can download the free client and free A-4E-C mod and have tons and tons of fun. The A-4E-C mod brings DCS to a lot of people that would otherwise not be able to join in.

    The brakes don’t work great because the designer knew the aircraft would be stopped by the arresting cable on the aircraft carrier. He was obsessed with keeping the plane as small and lightweight as possible, you don’t need big, heavy breaks if the wire is doing the work for you.

      @stevechopping3021 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The brakes work fine in a straight line, what this model hasn't got is nose wheel steering. As stated because of lightness of design, it has differential braking on the rear wheels and it takes some getting used to. Later models had nose wheel steering fitted.
      This is a fantastic model of a wonderful little aircraft.

    • @Erpyrikk
      @Erpyrikk 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      the brakes seem to lock up if you use a button for braking instead of toe brakes. if you use an analog input for braking the a4 steers much easier but most people don't have a dedicated rudder pedals.

      Good video. Brake pucks very small. Get hot quickly and lose grip. Spoilers are wired to the squat switch. Don’t want them to deploy in flight . Really don’t want an assymetrical deployment of them in flight.

    Former Air Force F-4G Wild Weasel mechanic here. The SEAD (suppression of enemy air defenses) system could lock onto a SAM/AAA radar from just a short moment of that radar transmitting. The system had radar receiving antennas in the nose and tail of the aircraft that would triangulate the location of the offending air defense battery. The WSO (weapons systems officer) could then assign the target to a HARM, launch the weapon, and it would hit the transmitter. While flying Northern and Southern Watch missions over Iraq in the mid nineties, Iraqi air defenses would not operate for fear of the Wild Weasel’s, both Air Force and Navy.
    Shrike missiles required prior electronic intelligence flights over the operating area (see the movie BAT-21 for reference) to find the targeting and/or locating radar transmitters bandwidth. This data was programmed into the Shrike missiles and aircraft mounted jamming pods for better accuracy.

    A couple of things:
    - locking your wheels (skidding) will always give you worse braking performance than if you feather them at as high as you can without them skidding
    - you seemed to not have your yaw damper on (stab aug on left side, autopilot panel)
    - your radar wasnt on so it was falling back to radar altimeter for bombing (less accurate)
    nice video tho

    As a tech that currently works on A4N I can definitely say the brakes are that weak, they are literally the same system as a motorcycle essentially, no booster or antiskid and the hydraulics are separate from the main aircraft system. We also have to inspect the tires after every flight due to such minimal damage tolerance.

    Brakes on this are actually really good, this a/c doesn't have anti-skid so if you want to get the absolute maximum out of it, you need to increase pressure on the brakes until just before they lock up (what you described as screeching)

    The A-4’s brakes are locking up. If you hold the brakes down all the way, they’ll lock and won’t actually help you much. If you put around 60% brake pressure, you won’t lock them up.
    Or you can pump the brakes.

  • @Daniel-jq4qk
    @Daniel-jq4qk 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I think whats going on with the Brakes is Hydraulics related/limited. So, for instance when landing try pumping the brakes with 3 second long holds initially and as you slow make the pumping shorter 1-2 secs long. The other thing is it may be related to an ABS style system. But, I have always landed her with that method as I found it works best as well as giving her a little nose down input at the same time. I hope this helps especially if you encounter shorter runways or poor weather!

    I wanted to love the A4 but it has some major pain points mentioned in the video. 1) The bomb computer gets messed up with any roll input, and the A4 rolls VERY easily. 2) No nose wheel steering. They desperately need to add this back. Differential breaking is pain because 3) As shown in the video, the breaks are weird. They seem to lock up even at low speed.
    The other thing I will add, my experience on Enigma's are every Mig 21 heads right at you. Because of how the AWACs works on Enigma's you can feel like Mig 21 food at times.

    Just FYI - the targeting computer doesn't work with snake eyes or cluster bombs. It can only compute pure ballistic tracks, so anything with a lot of drag doesn't work. Slick bombs work just fine, even in toss bombing, and you can sometimes cheat it a bit by aiming way past the target with CBUs. Like most things in the A4, it's more art than science - by which I mean it's complex and completely manual, so it's difficult to do well.

      That actually makes a lot of sense. I'm pretty sure there's another plane I remember that uses the same procedure when you get all wheels down because lifting the flaps would put more weight on the wheels since there's less lift.

    I've downloaded the A-4 to try out although I've got a lot of rust to shake off. How does the A2G payload compare with the F-5 Tiger?
    Admittedly I'm still itching for a company to bring out the A-6 Intruder and SU-17. I'm definitely a ground pounder and would love to see more Cold War aircraft in general in DCS, I was disappointed when the F-16 and AV-8 announcements turned out to the more modern versions.

    The A4 still has a lot of work to be done on it. Niggling little asthetic things liek the nose oleo being a tad too short to the flight model being quite a way out of whack. The roll rate (ridiculously responsive and far, far, too much rate), pitch response, acceleration, etc all need a lot of attention. A life long friend flew A-4C's (VA-75) in the mid to late 60's and is also an avid DCS flyer gave me his opinions and they pretty much went along with my own. Its good, but it isn't quite there yet. Keep going guys, this will be one heck of a mod when she's done n dusted, after the OV-10 Bronco definitely one of my fav mods.

    • @JNelson_

      The A-4E has one of the fastest roll rates in the world at 720 degrees per second. The A-4E in game is within a few % of the published numbers plus an A-4M pilot was hugely involved in the flight model tuning especially for all transient conditions, plus there are plent of other A-4 pilots that have commented on the forums saying it's quite close. So I'm not sure where way out of wack comes from. Perhaps you flew a much older version.

      ​@@JNelson_ I am fully aware of the Real World A-4's flight characteristics, alas the DCS Model is far removed from reality in many ways and I will reiterate that it has a LONG way to go. I would be happy to debate this statement with the other "real world" A-4 "pilots". FYI the A-4 was LIMITED to a 360 deg roll rate, a fact that is stated quite clearly in the A-4 NATOPS manual. This was put in place as the aircraft would break apart due to the excessive forces brought to the airframe at such high rates. Lets not get into roll rates with war loads... A book could be written concerning the inaccuracies the flight model. This aircraft has been recreated in its present form for "WOW" factor, nothing more, nothing less. However it is as I originally stated a fantastic attempt at bringing a superb aircraft to the simulator world.

    • @JNelson_
      @JNelson_ 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@Ecthaelyon The limit to 360 deg/s is a requirement for the pilots. There is nothing limiting the aircraft from A-4 from doing more than 360 deg/s. Unfortunately you are misinformed.
      (from the NATOPS)
      Aileron Rolls:
      During and upon termination of high rate aileron rolls
      (above 200 degrees per second) in the high speed,
      low altitude region, abrupt pitchdown will be
      noted. This pitchdown, though uncomfortable, is

      When executing high rate, low altitude rolls
      (above 200 degrees per second), recovery
      controls must be applied after completing
      180 degrees of roll to prevent exceeding

    The ARM is too good in DCS.
    The Shrike is almost useless.
    The AGM-122 Sidearm that Harrier has, is so useless thst it wasn't carried as it was just dead weight, because any target required you to get so close to shilka that it shot you down twice before getting Sidearm acquiring a lock, and then tou were way too close to die your own shrapnel where ever the Sidearm flew, other than target.
    The AGM-88 HARM is same way overpowered. Regardless it having a INS to record the coordinates if the radar turns off, the HARM is so inaccurate that you don't likely hit anything so it would be damaged.
    The next generation ARGMER is a different thing, as now missile has GPS guidance and it know where it is, and it can acquire better coordinate mid-flight so that it memorizes the target coordinates better.
    As well the Shilkas are so unrealistic in the game. They shoot with constant pure lead tracking, and does so awful job. As there is multiple methods how to do area denial for attack planes. You dont fly in that saturated area as you will fly to shells and die... Now tou are in control through whole attack run and Shilkas aint any danger to you.
    The targeting computer is as well way too accurate. It is great at 20-35 degree attack runs when your target is on flst desert terrain. But otherwise they are challenging to hit a thing. That is one reasons laser guided bombs were invented becsude changes to hit a stationary tank with full 12x Mk.82 release was around < 10%. And that is why AGM-65 Maverick was created. To give a 50% Pk to hit a tank size target 1.5-2 Km range.
    The laser guided bombs main benefits is that ground forces designated target for you, and you could find the target more easily with tracker. Capability drop a bomb from 15000ft while flying over was huge thing.
    There is reason why ARBS system was invented, because any bombing triangulation calculation was very inaccurate. Radar or just using bombing tables. Nothing was as accurate than ARBS until GBU-12 was invented.
    That is what Harrier got in nose and A-4 got to use later on as pod.
    Sadly all in DCS can perform wrapon drops with perfect reticle sighting, that should be massively inaccurate without GBU or ARBS.
    And Mavericks are way too long range capable to track anything.
