First Time poster here guys, but since this seems to be the only place to talk about this Aircraft, here is as good as any. What are everyone's thoughts on the Flight Model? The given ref numbers in the manual seem off, when compared to the NATOPS. (Complete disclosure here, dad was an A-4 instructor pilot in Meridian, so I have the Natops and someone to bounce questions off.) Vrefs are off as are the approach speeds

Am I expecting to much out of the add-on?
 
I totally forgot I had a NATOPS here also......I may have to take a look also. I am hoping that the FDE is looked at.....it might be my PC but I get alot of side slip when making turns under 250kia, and coming out of the turn I get a pitch up in the nose.

Seeing the same thing here. Also see a couple of instrument issues, need to get my ducks in a row before asking about those though.
 
Skyhawk,

Which aircraft have you been flying? Each aircraft has it's own flight model and it's own flight characteristics.

PM me your email and I'll send you a new modified airfile that has a bit more lateral stability. Hopefully that will improve your flight experience.

Landing Weight

Skyhawk,

Would you please tell me what weight you were flying at (either in pounds or as a percentage of the total gross weight). I have flown the clean and dual tank versions out to the ship and also done acrobatics with the aircraft - and am not experiencing anything that indicates a FDE issue. I do not have a NATOPS manual, but I do have several thousand hours flying for the NAV.

Well my wife who serves at GTMO NAS as Marine AVDET unit just asked me to purchase the Skyhawk and ask also if any painter will be doing the Brazil Skyhawk?

I might be able to do one...but don't they only have A-4AR variants?

I believe so. My wife would know better then me. She actually gets duty assignments once in a while in Brazil. I also noticed our resident memebr from Brazil posted in the 1st page thread #8 a similar req. Now if I wanted to pick a flight with my jar-headed wife lol I'd go to VC-10 Challengers who where based at MUGM NAS with the TA -4J Skyhawk. I think there is a living example at Robbins AFB last time I checked. I know the MUGM NAS Museum has one.
