Few thoughts…
1. Since this model is going to be the only hi-quality a-4 in bms DB, I’d suggest detailing the rudder ribs, and adding vortex generator plates at front upper wing.
2. Whole StablizerTail can be dofed, use gear up-down dof, to simulate the aoa trimming.
3. A-4 is a popular ac, theaters need more variants!
4. The difference at air intake, e model has protruding plate, su doesn’t.
5. The fuselage and upper Wing airbrakes, may use xswitch-gear up/down to switch their animation inflight or on ground.Hello,
Most of your remarks were already planned to be integrated.
This first model is simply a test model, which will evolve till the end.
For trims, this is expected already.
For versions, here is the thing :
A-4 has 46 variants… Most of them have a good reason to be implemented into BMS. Honestly, A-4E and A-4SU are for me relevant. While I have plans to make A-4H and maybe A-4M, I will not do many versions, as it would imply infinite discussions about why this one and not this one.
For contractors versions, Chuck, for which functions you would like it?

A-4b and a-4c would be great to support Falkland and Vietnam mod.

This is third party… Your remark could be the same if somebody considers a New-Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesian theater… As a BMS dev, I have to stay pretty neutral !
Very cute isn’t it? But I will not make it.

Since the two PMCs (Discovery Air and Draken International) are the main operator of this fleet currently, I think it could worth to have it in standard KTO.
However, these companies are operating different variant, A-4N and A-4K.
I don’t know much about Skyhawk, so have no idea how much different externally and internally between each model. -

AFAIK, yes.
They provide it as part of Red Air in various military exercises, and also play a role of coalition aircraft for JTAC training. -
Updates!

Hello,
As Malaysian A-4L are close from Singapore A-4SU, I made some tests to check if I can go from one version to the other one easily…
I may include A-4 PTM which is very close from A-4L in the final package.
I continue to enhance the model and fix normals issues.
Cheers,

A-4K was a major upgrade…

A-4K was a major upgrade…
Yes, this was a very nice variant! Many aspects were close to A-4SU.

For those who requested and are interested, you can see that landing trim works well!

Hello,
tonight, I made, unwrapped and backed A-4 pilot. I assume, it will be used for most A-4 variants, even this one was especially made for A-4SU.

Nice work, well done!

+1.
And, Radium, if for any reason in need, I would volunteer for testing.
With best compliments and regards,

Hello,
Some news there, I am working on a muti-version system for A-4…
Not that easy, as there is a lot of differences between them…
Then, I will be able to integrate more variants…

Amazing work on the A-4.

Hello,
Thank you Stratos!
I am finishing the last details before unwrapping.
I might offer to some of you a beta test copy… Just thinking of it. Do not send any PM, it’s far too early.

Multi-version. can you add the A4-AR version?
-
Totally AWESOME!!!
It would be extremely cool if we can have the RNZAF A-4K “Kahu” upgraded Skyhawk in a future BMS release.
Why? Because the RNZAF pretty much stuffed the internals of the F-16A into their A-4K Skyhawks during the 1980s, complete with AN/APG-66, two MFD screens, a wide-angle HUD, full HOTAS controls, giving these super Skyhawks the ability to carry AGM-65s and even GBU-16s.
