Static display A-7 Corsair? USN?

fsafranek said:
The FSX version currently has seven A-7Es on the deck representing VA-22 and VA-94.
Also since it is a moving carrier you can't put statics on it anyway. We're looking into
a static version with full nav aids (again something you can't include on a moving carrier)
but the deck eye candy will be fixed in place.

That's cool anyway!!! But to be able to add static Corsair IIs to land scenery will be a lot of fun. Lemoore AND Cecil!

It's a good thing I am single now.... With all this cool stuff being released, it would definitely put a strain on a marriage!!!

So, living on Sanibel Island, single, no responsibilities (except to my cat)....it just doesn't get any better!!!!

Navy Chief, I just got an email from Guy Diotte and your Corsair is coming along nicely. The model is almost complete and then the paint will go on for your two requested schemes. He sent some preview shots which I would like to publish but out of respect for Guy I will wait till the final. It should not be long now. This guy is one of those talented people that add so much to our hobby.

Tom, that is so awesome! Thanks to you, and of course, to Guy Diotte, for taking the time to create these for me (for the community!).

His models are great, and I will (at long last) be able to populate flight lines, without a great impact on FPS.

Thank you so much!

This is great! I could also use a Corsair to add to the Hellenic Air Force Museum in my Tatoi scenery. I have used Guy's excellent F-5 and F-104 so far. I will make my own skin for that so I am just waiting for the model.

Then I would be just missing a HU-16B Albatross, a Mirage F1, a T-33, an F-86D, An F-86E and a Mig-15 to complete the external static displays.:jump: Maybe I should try this converter program.

The following scenery has a T-33, F-86E, F-100D, Mirage 2000 (2 types), S-2 Tracker, and F-104 static models. They're not up to Guy's standards, but they're not bad, either.

I see it up there on flightsim.com this morning. Looks very nice with a couple texture sets and loadout options (MDL file size nearly tripled with external tanks and bombs though). Not sure what model you wanted but this one appears to be an A-7B with the 20mm on both sides of the intakes.

Was away for a couple days, but just downloaded it. THANK YOU Guy Diotte for this wonderful static aircraft model!!!

I will email him myself, and Tom...thanks again for assisting me with contacting Guy; I really, REALLY appreciate this so very much!!!
