Thank you!

And plus paintkit: http://www.virtavia.com/Freeware/ind...=/Paint%20Kits

Guys can i get some more info please

after reading the description, is there a load out manager? or is it multiples of the several paints with various load outs? or 26 different models

[flaviossa]

For the description in the product page, there are 26 models with their loadouts (With a different FDE for each version). I´ll test it tonight and can give more feedback (Or another guy that buy it can give the answer first).
@zsolt: Waiting for your excelent paints for this one :ernae:

Waiting for both Scooters to hit the market. Surprised about the lack of a load out manager, seems to be the norm now with other FSX military model developers. Guess I can go back to adding drop-able objects to the saved flight file.

SOLD!!!!!! This as you can tell from my user name is the plane I have been waiting for......THANK YOU Virtavia for an accurately shaped A-4!!!

[fsafranek]

There are 22 different visual models (E/F/G versions and various loadouts). That combined with the different schemes comes to 26 aircraft to choose from. There is no load out manager, just your mouse clicking among all those thumbnail images.

The paint kit has been out since last week but no one noticed or said anything. Textures are kept in the root (clean) model folder and then linked back to via the cfg files. Sounds complicated but it really isn't. But it does mean the repainters are going to have to slow down and put together some decent documentation. As soon as I get the documentation written I'll upload this one. Several more in the works as well.

Thanks mr. Frank! Already bought it. Will fly tonight. I know it´s not the right version, but if you (Or any skilled repainter of our comunity) can squeeze a brazilian navy one in the repaint workline, it would be very nice :ernae:

It was uploaded to all four of the stores listed at the top of the Virtavia website.
So it's a matter of how fast they add new products. simMarket just got a jump
on the rest. If you prefer a different store it may be there later today or tomorrow.

I went to the other links and it was not on any of them. I guess I will wait another day or two and see when they are available.

Thanks,

[Roadburner440]

Sweet! This is definately a must have.. Probably wait till the weekend to buy it though when I actually get time to fly. Loadout thing isn't to big of a deal to me, but I mainly fly either clean birds or with drop tanks only. Guess if I was changing out weapons all the time it would be different.

[flaviossa]

Amazing little bird:


Interesting that with a full load it´s very hard to gain altitude. Nice FDE in my opinion

[Ian Warren]

I have to get in contact with Phil , Frank and the rest off the team .. A Volume 2 is a defined requirement .. a TA-4 the 'T-Bird' , .. Course this one has more New Zealand relation in regard to 'Gs' .. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! .. A little/few external cosmetics ...

Frig .. they call them small .. well they are but you go stand beside one .. I think all New Zealand's and Wigram's Museum can be applicable to all variants .. I can get access to both .. Guys you listen <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();} else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Flaviossa,
It's odd that you are having a problem gaining altitude, even with a full load. Make sure the autopilot is not engaged otherwise you will be fighting the altitude hold function.

Hey MAL.....I'm having some side slip issues on turns and banks. Might be that the flight model is supposed to be that way but just want to let ya know.


Here's my first WIP repaint.....one of hoepfully MANY!

[mal998]

What do you mean when you say side slip? Can you be more specific. As always make sure you have calibrated your controller.

[skyhawka4m]

I will double check and calibarate my controller. what I mean is.....for example...it seems like on final it is very hard to line up unless you go out on like a 3 mile final, if I don't do that I have to use a load of rudder just to keep it straight.....is that normal for the A-4? I honestly don't know.


And update on ym repaint....just the wings and some details to go.
