Virtavia A-4 Skyhawk available

It's still only available at Simmarket. I prefer FS Pilot shop or PC Aviator. Guess will have to wait a bit before they finally show there.

Yes me too, Simmarket tend to take a little more profit from the purchase than others.
 
We've wanted a good Skyhwak model for quite some time and I'm glad to have her and no disrespect intended but this is a tad expensive, 39 Euro for a steam gauge jet is a touch high, comparing to the price of a VRS Hornet is only 7 euros more at is market.
 
Didn't want to be the first to say it but to be honest I feel the same. To be fair I missed the bit about the functioning radar and had been expecting the usual simplified avionics of older Virtavia/Alpha models. Frankly 39E is in my view too much for whats on offer, FS pilot shop is more reasonable at around 32E, still going to think about it as I only really want the G model.

It´s a bit over priced i agree, but it´s a joy to fly (Had a problem with a underpowered climb, but i think it was the conditions of the flight), a very well done vc with multiple workking systems and a very nice model. Maybe lack of more paints (International ones, like Israel, Argentina,Singapura,Indonesia,Brazil, etc...) I´m very satisfied with this purchase.

Paints are coming....trust me! If they flew the E or F models I will do my best to get more done! I will only do aircraft that are as some say "prototypical" in other hobbies.

I was hoping for a Super Fox adversary paint! So I can scare the crap outta unsuspecting squids who think I can't go vertical with 'em :)

Well, the fact that it's a "steam gauge" jet is a + in the "buy/don't buy" calculus, to some people, including me. The only "fancy-pants wide screen TV" jet I ever paid money for was the VRS Super-Bug (for FS9), and that was because I worked on it in another life and wanted to see how well they did with it. I love the steam gauges. All that said, it's only over-priced if you decide it is. :) This A-4 looks really nice, and I have been having a "buy/don't buy" argument with myself over this one since this thread started. I may loose the argument... :icon_lol:
 
Brake Noise

When applying wheel brakes upon landing, does anyone else think it a bit loud and screechy (inside the cockpit sound)? Never having flown the A-4 or any other fighter, I don't really know how loud this would be inside the cockpit. This plane is a joy to fly by the way.
 
I think they were going for brake 'howl' with moderate to hard brake pressure, but it sounds more like grinding metal / a radial arm saw. It's not bad though, lol.
 
Was just watching this on Youtube, think its perfect for this a/c.

Keep in mind the Super Fx had the hotdog on the tail which they have not modeled. I'd be glad to do one with the understanding it won't be 100% model accurate.
