Virtavia A-4E Skyhawk released

As there is no proper Virtavia A-4 Skyhawk category for uploading paintings flightsim.to does not allow me to upload

:banghead:
 
Confirmed with Phil that the speed brakes have been implemented in the 1.2 update, so I bought it and can confirm they do indeed work as you'd expect them to. Now you can fly a realistic approach.

Tried to use the IndiaFoxtEcho carrier add-on to confirm that the hook's working okay now, but I suck at carrier approaches without a proper ball to call, so I can't verify one way or another. But that's not Virtavia's fault, it's my mediocre Naval flying skills. :)

Hook questions aside, the flight model feels good and the visuals are nice as well. Happy with my purchase as a Naval jet fan.

ZSoltb, there's an "other" category you can use.
 
Zsolt, could you do a repaint of this bird like this photo?

Thanks for considering this.

ZSoltB, got your liveries off FS.to and they're beautiful! Thanks as always for your hard work and for sharing your talent!

Never did manage a successful carrier landing, but honestly, I save those for DCS because while the MSFS carriers look good, they're just too much a simplification of the actual landing process (and missing so many of the aids even WW2 pilots had) to make me feel like I'm doing anything resembling real ops in this sim anyway.

Back stick definitely helps de-squirrel the takeoff!

Now we just need a Blue Angels paint for this baby... Nobody should ever release a plane the BAs flew without including a livery, gorramit!
 
I'm hesitating buying this A4. Can those that do own it confirm the rumours I'm hearing that there are separate models for different loadouts, a la FS2004? If so, I'll be astonished (very FS2004)! Many thanks.
