TA-4J Skyhawk Work-In-Progress

Does PBR technology automatically work when a designed aircraft is loaded or does there need to be a graphics setting.
I am aware it only works with P3D version 4.4 and 4.5.

Correct... HOWEVER I highly suggest to turn the Dynamic Reflections ON with PBR models... this enhances the effect (in a subtle way).
 
its a beautiful package Dino, huge immersion with the model and PBR and night flying makes it a stunner, I have to say one of the best 2019 packages out there.

Please, i cant stress enough, finish off the single seater, if it will be anything like this, you are going to be the king of naval aviation at this rate with all your releases
 
Dino

This is an outstanding product.

Your contributions to USN flight sim cannot be matched.

I look forward to your releases.

Patiently waiting on this one and weird how my September edition of Combat Aircraft Magazine had an article on the TA-4J! Thanks for all the hard work on your models Dino.
 
Wonderful work Dino, I purchased this and love it. I did find a problem with the aircraft.cfg in the weight and balance section that prevented selecting armament properly versus the wing tanks. One other thing that I keep seeing is that I get a fuel transfer light coming on intermittently and a fuel warning (pilot tips are turned on) and to remedy it with CNTRL > X. I do that but it keeps happening. Not able to fix that one. I couldn't find a place to report these so I posted here. Apologies in advance if this isn't the place to report this.
 
@docjohnsonThe TA-4J implements a quite realistic simulation of the real TA-4 fuel system, custom coded to reflect the flight manualThe FUEL TRANSFER light is not a problem... it will turn on whenever the transfer pump does not trasfer enough fuel from the main tank to the feed tank. It will turn on at low RPMs and in maneuvers with high acceleration. It is a problem only if it is continuously lit for some time (as the risk is to deplete the feed tank and cause an engine stop) -> that is whenever the FUEL LOW light comes on.You should disable pilot tips as they may report a false warning for the TA-4J. The FUEL LOW warning light in the cockpit is the one that you keep your eyes on. See the manual in the DOCS folder.
 
I finally got a chance to fly it last night. I can tell I'm going to be spending a lot of time in this bird. The cockpit looks amazing and is easy on the frame rates. I flew it from Iwakuni MCAS to Futenma MCAS in Japan and the way the Radar works is awesome. BTW, I highly recommend the MAIW Matrix program for their military air base scenery and AI.

I did get the fuel light in the landing pattern and I knew it was because I just hopped in and went flying. I am going to read the manual about that before my next flight. I like all of Dino's birds and have been taking more time to figure out the systems in the Typhoon, but the TA-4J is just a lot of fun to fly. Once I learn it's systems I'll begin learning ordnance delivery in it. This is easily one of my favorites, so far. Great work Dino and team! :encouragement:
