  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

RAZBAM LTV A-7 Corsair II released

Well I can land it, after some practice - so you didn't make it too hard, Pam, just "challenging". :d

Seriously, hats off to everyone involved with this. It's a superb little jet.

One thing that may help those struggling to get it onto a carrier deck is to start VERY light. Empty all the wing tanks, empty the auxs and put half fuel in the two mains. That should give you enough to have a play around, without the original problem I had of the SLUF's backside falling through the deck into the water after what appeared to be a perfectly good landing. I don't know what the designed landing weight of the A-7 variants are (I'm hoping that'll be in the manual! ;)) but that gives you a tad over 120KIAS landing speed in my tests and seems to work.

Gotta go out now, will fly more later. :)

well I like it but I can't fly for more than 5 or so minutes and then the engine shuts down on me......I can't figure out why though. Kinda pissing me off but....I guess in time I'll figure it out...I know i'm not over heating because I did a test flight at high altitude with throttle cut back.


the warning I got was HYD Failure.
 
Gosh... she's a handful to fly for sure. I love it!
(wished A-6 and A-4 would get this treatment)

Great work, RAZBAM!
Super FDE, Pam!
 
I don't know what Ron has up his sleeve next, but I'd really love to see the Scooters done up to current specs. They do work in Accel, I had them installed until my last PC upgrade and rebuild, but they are starting to show their age a little when you compare them to packs such as the A-7.

Next thing I'll want, of course, is the moon on a stick.
:ernae:

Watch the engine TOT temp. If you go beyond the red line for more than three minutes the engine will suffer damage and soon you will find yourself without one.

Full throttle is not an option beyond 1 - 2 minutes. Top continuous throttle is 96% RPM. Power dives are a no no, quite easy to go over the red line within 30 seconds. That's the wasy the original Allison TF-41-A2 behaved. We were quite pleased when we found out that Pam managed to hit that spot too.
 
It really looks fantastic.

Is there a paint kit? I didn't see any reference of it at the site.

OH MY GOD....

.....this is incredible. I love it. The only thing I either don't understand (or wish were better) is a way of monitoring engine power (% gauge) so I can avoid destroying the engine.

I'll tell you this-- the A-7K is a NO-BRAINER!!!!

This is WONDERFUL!

Thanks, Prowler....

P.S. Can we get the travel pod option on the -K too, please?
 
Hi gents:
1st all thank you all for the comments, it´s great to see you´re enjoying it, as i stated before, you do feel the lack of a manual, that´s in the works.
As for those small bugs, i will fix them and issue a patch.
BTW, Zeus here is our main coder, so all the instrument/weapons magic is his work, so hats off to him for an awesome work, also any questions regarding those, well, he is the guy (i just pull polys, lol)
Hats off also to Pam, great work sweety!

Repaint kit:
There is one, you should look for a RAZBAM folder in your main FSX folder, in it you´ll find 3 psd´s.

Once again, thanks, and..well...no pics??:jump:

We are very glad that you like it. The tachometer is located below the TOT gauge in the A-7D and to the right in the A-7E. You can monitor engine %RPM with it.
 
I'm getting a RAZBAM file with no extension as well in Firefox, I had to switch to Internet Explorer to get it to download properly.
 
Just got it. The droppable bombs (especially the high drag ones) and the extremely cool appearance of the bird got to me.

Off to fly her, between painting F-35's :salute::running:

I run firefox as well, but it downloaded just fine. Do you have the latest and greatest from Firefox :ques:
 
Hi,

Just finished a looong flight, by my standards at least, lasting close to 90 minutes and this thing is excellent. If you remember to keep below 96% RPM you should be good in most situations .... and yes, I am still a chicken and have not been to the boat yet :sheep:

Thanks again Ron and crew, this is my favorite :jump:
