Dragonfly

You know, I always caught myself hovering over the download button on the T-37 going "I would probably get this if there was an A-37 version"

Now I have to stay true to my word and get it!
 
Just flew a little cross country...

....between the location of two old A-37/OA-37 Air National Guard units. Flew from Peoria, IL (KPIA) to Battle Creek, MI (KBTL). All I can say is to pay attention to fuel management, and if you've got the tip tanks full, burn fuel from those first...it appears that the pump that transfers fuel from the tips to the wings...and then to the engines...can't keep up with the engines fuel burn at full power (I was hot dogging over KBTL when both engines flamed out...OOPS!). Absolutely loving this airplane. The author did a GREAT job on it. the flight manual dicusses fuel management, but I will need to go back and read it several times to understand it fully.

The designer really outdid himself on this one! With the paintkit available, I really hope the repainters will do their magic on this bird. The model deserves it!

It's a beauty! Interesting to fly it and the T-37 back-to-back. The author did a nice job differentiating the flight models.

Very nice! The Dev sure is a very generous person. Am going to personally thank them.

Reminds me of the A-37's I saw in Colombia, South America back in 2005. Was near a air base and saw some loaded up with what appeared to be live ordy takeoff and then RTB 45 minutes later empty. They re-armed pretty quickly. Heard explosions off in the distance and at the time, there was fighting between the Govt and Rebels. Here are a couple of photos I took of a retired Colombian Air Force A-37 at their military museum in Bogota.

This one is a real beauty! I'm going to have to dig into the manual for sure - I can't figure out how to modify the weapons/fuel loadout.

See page 11 in the manual for ARMAMENT PANEL detail...it takes a couple of read throughs to get it. Also, be aware that the electronic tablet to the left of the seat contains touch screen items to get rid of the pylons under the wings.

PS - Also, I wrote the developer this afternoon and asked him to update the paint kit beyond mere wireframes, and to include layers for all of the liveries he included with the initial release, since that would give us the basic Vietnam camo pattern and stencils...I'm loving this airplane...perhaps the most of any MSFS aircraft in my hanger (to include PMDG!). Love it.

Thanks - I will most definitely take a look.

Also, I think you have to be cold-and-dark (or at least parked) to change the loadout.

As always - thanks Denny.
 
I wonder if the developer would consider staying within this genre and working on a BAC Jet Provost (old RAF trainer), and a Canadair Tutor (Still the Snowbirds aircraft for the RCAF). How many times can I type "please" before getting tired? LOL.
