Yeah found it in google docs. As Red Dog mentioned ther also in the down side of the wing. I will read it tomorrow to see if i can figure out how they work.

One I found pilots manual had nothing about them.

Yup i did read it… it seems that it needs a fair amount of banking either left or right so the spoiler will activate even though it says that if Aileron exceeds 2 degrees and 30" spoiler moves a proportional amount. Therefore on the general stick position it says that Spoiler are open ,probably 100% ,when the stick is either left or right at 36 degrees… Hmmm… its a bit difficult to “translate” this in the game i guess so im thinking maybe to dont use them at all. I know it took me couple of hours to make them but in every video i saw about A-7 They dont really seem to move, so i cant really tell if they actually are needed… and if i dont use them i know i will save some tris also… another delema…Also another cool thing i read its that when you hit wheels down the airbrake retracts automatically. I gues this is easy to “translate” in game right?
Edit: In this video shows how they work but only in ground and testing control surfaces in the rest of the video again they dont move!..

So any help on that? Everyone? As i saod i can just delet them and leave it as is cause either the movement is so small during normal flight or dont move at all but (as i understand at least) in hard manuevering (i hope i wrote it right) they move. Reference of the RAZBAM model in FSX/P3D also in very soft banking they hardly move meaning if i lean the stick 2-3 dgrees left or right u dont even see them but when i move the stick completely left or righ then u see them open. I will need some help on what ill do on them… Thanks in Advance.

Ok due to non existence of references (good ones i mean) and the mystery around the Spoilers i will not use them and i will continue the model without them. So wait for more news soon

Let me check if I can find some help for you.

I’ve searched more at least at photos and i’ve seen some photos of Landing (most of them) and 2-3 in take off that they where deployed so my simple mind thinks maybe they are deployed in very low speeds? as an extra help to maneuver the plane? Or is part of the Airbrake system? Most of the photos are in touchdown fase in aircraft carriers….

So i manage to keep it in around 66k tris even though i added more details, I found out it had many stuff duplicated from the start (dont really know the reason), Im keeping till we found more details for them, the spoilers. I think ill start unwrapping now then ill start to Dofing/switching Unwrapping might take some time cause many stuff are made almost from scratch but i think ill manage to make it. Also i did a lot of welding so some parts of the surfaces look smooth and i know i will have to do more cause now i cant really see if i dont unwrap. Bad thing overall is that Nitrous driver doesnt show me the statistics when using it and i prefer it cause in realistic mode on viewports is way better than DX.
EDIT: I made some experiments,I Might be able to reduce more the tri count to half ~35-36K with all the details as well as the model in General is very good builded without any major loses or holes to the surfaces. Therefore i must unwrap it so i cann really see whats happening… More Updates soon…

So with the model comes an excellent paintkit I did some experiments and i made a well known (at least to scale modellers) Desert Storm Camo (sorry Raptor. I need some reference first to greek Camo ) and one of my favorites as well, I had this camo patern anyway in one of scale models i made before so it was quite easy to represent it.I might make another one when i finish unwrapping for VA-15 (i think) Valions witch is another favorite. I did some research for the markings and stuff and made the others. so partially textured it looks like this :
-
sorry Raptor
For what? lol
This skin was the 1st of my 5 in total bird models! Good old times…
-
Unwraping is done…. so now i will start dofing/switching it slowly… By the way the low vis formation lights in the scale models usually are orange.1st Are they? 2nd Are they dimable as Phantom or Av8 and other airplanes?
-
Awesome work
-
Looks good!
How many tris is that?
-
68k. But i can work it to be around 35-36k

I do like this one too much, dear Manos, until its colors! I would have one at my hands, really!
So in Desert Storm did they make the script visible in each wing? … Interesting.
Keep on!
With best regards,

Here is the real one :
EDIT… comparing the photos i think i have to make a bit smaller the seat in height at least or make the pilot bigger

Thanks for the nice shots, Manos!
And yes, IMHO I too think you’re right…

it didn’t flew during DS, it was painted like that for the return trip of the carrier
both squadrons painted one airframe for the special celebrations coming home after victory
