I installed the March ARB and took a few flights around it and found it to be pretty accurate. I have the MAIW West Coast ANG AI pack installed and you can see the KC 135s from that installation on the apron below my Skyray. At some point I'm going to have to replace the F-16s and the F-15s with 60s era fighters to more closely match my 60s and 70s era atmosphere.

I actually flew into March back in the 90s and spent a few days there waiting for my C-141 flight to Korea.
 
Just for the heck of it I thought I'd have a go with these. The A-4E/M models look pretty nice in the spot plane view, not sure if Michael Verlin/ J-P Langer did anything to polish up the textures but if they did, they did an excellent job. The 2D panel and it's multiple views are extensive enough to keep the flights interesting, and the gauges are clear and readable.

Only thing I had a question about, when you deploy the airbrake, the drag chute comes out....:isadizzy:Looks kinda odd when recovering from spins in the spot view. All that aside, the little scooter-hawks are a challenge to fly, and lots of fun.

Thanks to Kaz the master, Michael Verlin and J-P Langer for their joint efforts for these excellent little jets. :medals:

Yea, I have a few others by Ito San that operate the same way. Just the way he does it...:salute:
 
There is a "Volume 2" update for the A-4 Packs available at Avsim... It corrects texture anolomies on all the versions, adds an additional A-4C paint that was not included in the original package and really makes the exterior models look nice. It also mods the aircraft.cfg, eliminates the roll rate over-sensitivity.

Hold on... be right back with the link.... Here you go: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004acrp&DLID=171514
