@Red:
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 victoryYes thats true Red Dog. I read the story behind this paint. Still because (As Raptor’s as well) was one of my favorite themes i thought it would be cool to use it :). I will definatelly do a VA-15 late paintscheme (Low Vis) witch its another one i like. I have 2 1/48 ones the first one wear the VA-15 skin and the other i transform it to an Greek -H

First in game dof tests… only the basic dofs i made for now. I have to make the “glass” verts double sided…

Nice Corsair Manos, Good work

I have a problem. Even though i used the material i use for the canopies in my other models as well In game They appear (when i use ptype 17) invisible and when i convert to 25 it has only the slight glossines u see in the pics above even when i make the material doublesided… Im confused right now… I will see maybe i made a mistake or whatever. I will import the original canopy/lights etc to see…

I was out of the internet for a while and I see a lot of progress !!
This Corsair II has an excellent rendering and the unusual camo has a really good looking. CongratulationsComing back on the spoiler law (guess it’s too late ) :
Spoilers provide better roll authority in automatically helping ailerons (Same option than the one chosen by LTV on the F-8Spoiler deflection law is 2,6° for every 2°30’’ of aileron moving above the trim position
Meaning that when trim is on a neutral roll position, left spoiler starts his deflection when left aileron deflects more than 2,6° then, spoiler deflection runs proportionnally to the aileron moving (approx. 2,6° more for every additional degree).
All that dance within the following limits :
Max aileron deflection +/- 16°
Max spoiler deflection + 36°
Source : A-7 flight manualThat could explain the fact that we rarely see spoilers moving on videos.
- At high speed, aileron deflection could often be below 2,6° (not enough to trigger spoilers)
- At low speed, aileron moving needed is higher so we should see spoiler moving but the high angle of attack is often a mask that makes the upper part of the wing hidden…:?

Source : A-7 flight manualNo its not late I have kept the spoilers in the model just havent dofed them yet. Therefore all this you write how it is translated into the sim? meaning how i have to “declare” them into the dat file for example?
-
Sorry I have no skill in programming I don’t see how to declare an item in the dat file…But I guess we have some data experts around that could help.
I would say the more you do it simple the best it would be (A unique spoiler deflection trigered above a roll rate value ?) -

I see it ok m8.
Ptype 25 is correct. Double sided as you say not correct.
Maybe Alpha channel and opacity level.In general JUST WOW M8. looks awesome. Well done. Superb work.
Respect.

Nah it wasnt had to do with opacity. probably it was som mistake i did and it was completely Invisible for some reason. I use since the F1 ptype17 cause the reflection on ptype 25 sometimes is akward (u can see a tiny f-16 there lol ) Therefore it looks more realistic. Anyway i always keep backups and i deleted theese and inserted the old ones and looks fine now. so all ok…

The “signature” Airbrake is done

OK one more question. Is there a switch or dof witch can operate the Catupult thing in the front gear? In the greek version of course this will not exist but in the US i want to use it. Thanks in advance!

I’m not in a position to check at this moment, but while the A-7H may not have had this, didn’t the ex-USN A-7Es come with all the carrier features attached? I can’t recall if the catapult stuff had been removed from the nose gear prior to delivery to the HAF?

Yes both H and E at greek air force had them removed. My question its for the game if it works with a switch or a dof

I realised something; I though the outer parts opened into the slipstream not against it
That airbrake must be efficient !! -
Not sure if im getting it but i saw this picture and i mde it this way
-
no you made it right, I had a false idea and seeing yours corrected it

@Red:

Yeah i also had i slight doubt when i saw Hasegawa’s Instruction sheet for their 1/48 witch i bulded twice… And its wrong it has the flaps opened and on their halfway meet with the slipstream. Yet its not confirmid 100% that they open this way or the way i did it the photo i just posted might be when deploying the airbrake and not when that is on full deployment, i mean during the movement…
-
Ah yes I do remember adding that brake on a 1:48 model I did many years ago. Doesn’t it completely disappear into the fuselage?

Actually is part of the fuselage. I can say it one of th biggest and complicated airbrakes i ever seen. Maybe the f-15’s might be bigger but maybe not i think they have the same length. But it is complicated in A-7 And rare to see over the internet in photos and i mean clear at least. The clearer i found was the one i posted. L.T.V. had made a good job making this plane! All the systems it had on the era it was made was extraordinary!
