After a couple of short test flights I'm loving this airplane! Anybody working on any liveries yet?

I also love it. Beautifully done.
I secretly hope they follow up with an A-1E variant!

Cheers,
Mark

Agreed. Love this airplane. And I TOO would love to see MILVIZ follow up with an A-1E variant. I can't see it however, as it would require a completely new VC....I guess the best thing we can do to raise the odds of an A-1E is to encourage people to buy the A-1H, to maximize MILVIZ's profit, and make it worth their while to consider an A-1E.

Maybe they will come out with one that carries ordnance such as this.

Relax, the toilet bomb has been included :-)

Mark,

I'm as cool as a center seed in a cucumber

Edit: wonder if Tacpac will recognize the "John" Bomb?

As many Spad models as they make, I'll buy!

I made mention of this over at Milviz and they said:

I don't think there will be any further developments on it in V4/V5 so the AD-5 is probably a no go.

***gray eagle*** · May 3rd, 2021, 17:24

I bought this today, very large download. In fact, my downloader stopped at ~6%, I informed Milviz and they gave me a better link and was able to complete the DL.

Overall, it is pretty good. I do wish that they had included the original toilet bomber- I did not see it in the inventory.

Maybe someone has or will do a repaint of this:

Hopefully the painters will get busy doing some more liveries for us at least!

What's the best program to do repaints with the PSD paintkit? I need to learn how to repaint this beauty!

Skins for Milviz addons arent easy, for the first skin I advise you try it on different model (where all parts are on the one sheet). PSD its a format of Photo Shop (Adobe) software, however I use Corel Draw/Photo Paint, You can try also Gimp (free).

If they make one for MSFS, I will definitely buy it!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I like CIMOGT carriers too. You can hide also your A-1:

I dont have the model, but from the screenshots over at Milviz it looks like they have made the wrong cockpit for the A-1H. I'm quite sure it did not have a radar scope.. Have they used the "wrong" earlier AD4NA cockpit? Most of the current line up of warbird skyraiders painted up as A-1H/J are actually AD-4s (USN-> French AF).

This part is INOP but I think it isnt a radar screen but low-altitude bombing system gauge with tube (for better visibility).
