No, the S2A has two different, although similar, aircraft.
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?

Just took the stoof for a spin...it looks beautiful, it flies beautifull, it sounds beautiful, and the effects (startup and searchlight) are really cool.
Thank you very much Teamh SOH!
Bill
Thank you .. thank you
Again a master piece !

Outstanding work everyone involved! Thank you, thank you!
They fly real well. Thanks, Milton and "Grumman Seven" Project Team.
Took them up for a short hop first thing. Only item I need help on is the ILS. Not sure how to get the power on to change it.
Cheers

..... but responsive enough to my ham-handed inputs ......
I got it working by editing the aircraft.cfg. Both Nav1 and Nav2 do not have standby frequencies.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.

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..?
WONDERFUL aircraft, everything I was hoping for.
2 questions tho :
1. Did the R/L A/C have an autopilot, and which one ?
2. Any other skins for the COD yet, or a paint kit ?
