Haven't found the S-2A CDF. Has it been uploaded? I've found the S2F-3, E-1, and C-1A in the library, No S2A CDF. Did I miss it?

Outstanding work everyone involved! Thank you, thank you!
The archive was deleted (after it was fixed, but before it was approved the first time). Rami didn't catch the fact I fixed it and he deleted it for a fresh upload.
I just re-uploaded it.
Fast and furious with 5 aircraft in 2 days.
Thank you .. thank you
Again a master piece !
Thank you guys; it was a pleasure working with all these talented contributors and great SOH membership who chipped in with research materials and support. It made for an awesome project.
I hope the next project goes as well.

What's the Word: Stonking!!
Well Milton you may have your eye on the horizon, but for many the fun is really only starting!
Screens... what hasn't been shown yet?? just about everything, ah well here's a couple from where I sit:
And I do like the 2D controls being available, although nowadays spend a lot of time in the VC.
Milton, you have a very nice new avatar, well earned.
Many weeks before I get there, though. I have New Toys
To each one of you involved: Very well done, guys, and thank you.

Thanks Wing_Z! Great shots
T Creed, we have Jan Visser to thank for those awesome pilots. It is interesting to just sit and watch them carrying on with life-like movements, the occasional conversation, checking the skies, the instruments. Amazing animations. Thanks Jan!

An oversight on my part as I am guilty of using FSNav to activate the APR.
Scott is taking care of this so should have you something this week sometime.
Man, this thing is beautiful. Love the S2F, fine looking plane. Wish I could say that about the C-1A, but, well, that's personal preference

Niiice and Stable, but responsive enough to my ham-handed inputs... roomy and durable... perfect for a bushwacker... hmmm... has Willy bothered you about a Merc Air varient yet?
Seriously, though, I think this is a definite keeper...

It handles really well to my 'ham-handed' flying

I got it working by editing the aircraft.cfg. Both Nav1 and Nav2 do not have standby frequencies.
[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1, 1
Com.2=1, 1
Nav.1=1, 0, 1
Nav.2=1, 0, 0
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1

Like everyone has said before me......thank you very much indeed for producing these lovely aeroplanes. Being part of a developer team myself, I know of all the hard work and effort that is involved in creating these projects and am really enjoying the series.
Best wishes,
Martin

Well, I am a bit confused about that as all of the products released had the following, just double checked the release packages:
[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1, 1
Com.2=1, 1
Nav.1=1, 1, 1
Nav.2=1, 1, 0
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
And when I test, I always use the ILS to check elevator trim ranges on normal approach configurations, weights and speeds so it had to be there. Anyhow, I agree there is no APR button to activate the ILS and we are adding that. Thanks

Amazing work, Milton & crew. I haven't even got the Avias broken in, and this slew of Grummans is unleashed. A problem of plenty. Extra compliment to Nigel, you've really nailed the exterior sounds. These things overfly my place all summer long....you've created a very good evocation.
Milton, it's the ailerons.
I'm curious:
First flight out in the S7, I noticed an interesting feedback effect, a reasonable amount of feedback resistance along with a reasonable amount of aileron control, and then with a bit more deflection, a sudden loss of resistance, with parallel loss of roll effect. External view showed me a relatively small aileron in relation to the size of the wing, at least in regards to one might expect. A quick look at the aircraft.cfg showed me that you've dialed in a little more aileron deflection (25 up, 20 down) than one may expect.
A quick perusal of the documentation provides a warning to pilots about excess aileron inputs.
Hmmm.....
Not knowing too much about this aircraft design, I wondered if I might be looking at an early fifties solution to a fairly wide span wing, the designers wishing to create a reasonable aileron effect without any power assist. A simple aileron of small square footage, able to deflect to a fairly high angle, that could offer lower control input effort without the need for power assist? ( lower complexity, weight & cost)
Certainly an aileron like this could be prone to (stalling?) at high deflection, but not neccesarily as issue for an aircraft that's designed to calmly cruise and loiter in an essentially wide open marine environment over long periods of time.
Have I got it right..?

AP? Yes, see attached. It was called a P-1 Autopilot.
No other skins at present but there are paint kits listed below teh download links:
Thank you for your interest in the Grumman projects.
