This guy spawned in an aircraft. ejected. then walked all the way over to the A4 just to record a short 5 second clip for a video lol

dude the amount of detail you put into this, the populated map, shot angles, etc... really great. keep up the great work!

I'm just 30 secs into this tutorial and already overwhelmed by the 80s style videotape entry with the background music. Awesome, thanks. Immersive and entertaining. Most enjoyable tutorial so far.

I watch almost every content producer for DCS tutorials, and your videos are by far the most thorough and helpful on youtube. Thank you!

Hoooooly shit, this thing is fun to fly! I did not expect it to feel that amazing after having only flown the frogfoot.

Great tutorial, looking forward to the next ones. I've shared this with my squadron mates. Keep up the great work, you have a talent.

Excellent video content, walking us through and great editing as well. All those camera shots were top notch.

This was really well done man. Would be great if you keep this going!

Thank you Sport! This tutorials are what I needed to get my hand on the A4 module. I never got my head around the older version procedures.

Definitely one of the best tutorials I've seen! Hope you do more of these. Kudos!

One of the best videos I have watched. Can't wait for the rest of them. Please keep up the good work.

This tutorial is awesome and I can't believe that the A-4 is a free DCS mod, with all of the details and care that has gone into it. Man, keep up the good work because the tutorial is awesome and I would definitely love to see more of these about all the things the plane can do in the future.

Great content and editing sir! Congratulations on this awesome tutorial that will be really helpful for both A-4 newcomers as well as rusty old timers like me.

One of the best tutorials on KZread. Congratulations!

Love that you used the 131 skins. When the A-4 first came out I was part of a squad that flew as the 131. Back then there were bugs about spawning on the carrier and AAR, radios and all. Glad that's all working now. Great job on the video!

Great instructional video….with all of the airfield animations…etc etc….it was just very well done.

Great job Sport!! As you know, I'm an old A-4 guy, so seeing such a detailed video on The Scooter is awesome... Keep up the great work..

awesome. the highlights on the cockpit tour were really helpful!

This is the best tutorial for this aircraft I’ve seen so far, thank you!!

Good video man! My favorite mod!

Best start-up tutorial for the A-4E ❤

It is amazing how good the A-4E Community Module is. And your Tutorials are also so well made and comprehensive... Great Work, Thank you!

Your instructions are very complete. You cover details that others overlook because they may be used to it and find useless but I like how you cover everything no matter how insignificant it may seem.

Hello I'm new here with the skyhawk mod, installed it yesterday and wow! great part. that's exactly how i love the model, the analog technology and the cockpit view is just fantastic. Many thanks!!! greetings from thailand.

Excellent introduction - thank you.

Great vid. You did a fantastic job explaining the bird. I'm going to install it now. Thank you!

Another really well done video. Keep the content coming please!

This is one of the best tutorial videos I have seen. Thank you for explaining how the systems function in addition to walking through the steps. It is so helpful to understand *why* we are flipping the switches. I'm going to boot up the A-4 tonight :)

This is the kind of DCS video I like to watch: entertaining but also teaching. It is very easy to slap a couple cool combat takes together and call it a day. But to carefully create content with a clear concept, a well-defined objective and painstaking attention to detail is a totally different ball-game. The final product tells me one thing: you respect your audience. Well, that respect comes back to you now: liked, suscribed and shared. 👍 Keep up the good work!

You are the greatest DCS tutorial maker, I just downloaded DCS and within an 1 I was airborne shooting guns and doing rolls. Thank you for your great easy to understand tutorial.

Well done tutorial, thanks a lot! The very first thing I did after installing the A-4E Mod was put it on a Super Carrier in one of my general training missions. When I started taxiing I nearly ran off the carrier but finally arrived at the cat after 2-3 extra rounds ;D

This is some of the BEST content out there! Well done man! Pls keep it up!!! Brilliant

I'm not a DCS player but If you had met my uncle he could have astonished by your detailed instruction. He was A-4E Skyhawk pilot in the 80s.

that intro was amazing!

Great tutorial

Good tutorial. Earned a sub. Thnx for bringing the A4 to my attention. Will check her out. Keep up the good work!💪

great video on a great jet ... thx for the work

Hahaha, that 80's intro is worth the attention alone. Thanks for the 'how to', this helps.

This mod really needs to be officially adopted by ED. It can be DCS's "full fidelity" jet aircraft so there's three distinct types of flight system: tail-dragging full-fidelity (unarmed) propeller/WW2 (TF-51), low fidelity ground attack jet (Su-25T) and a the A-4 as a high-fidelity, carrier-capable attack jet aircraft to give newcomers to DCS a taste of what paid modules - of all types - have to offer. Of course, someone, somewhere has to deal with licensing if it went official and even with the popularity of the A-4, I doubt Boeing (McDonnell Douglas parent company) are really open to just "licensing the dev team for free"...but one can dream. As far as tutorials for cold and dark start up go, that was pretty easy to watch dude. No long, drawn out explanations of the full start-up checks and, despite there being checks done that aren't really necessary in the DCS environment, it didn't take too long at all. Good job.

It won't be adopted because devs don't want it adopted.

Love this! Excellent choice of music as well if I may say so :D

Great video, thanks :)

Fantastic man, would love to see a tutorial on the F86 Sabre in a similar fashion

Wow I loved the intro!! So 80's!!

nice video. can't wait to see some new weapon deployment and action vids

0:35 GENUIENLY LOOKED LIKED REAL LIFE HOLY CRAP

Love the 80s vibe. Great vid.

Excellent. Thanks.

Nice job on the video! But I noticed 2 things that are wrong. I was a crew chief on A-4s, and we set the pitch trim and half flaps in the chocks before the plane left the ramp.

Great tutorial series!!! Just missing the landings (carrier and AF)😊

Hi there 👋 As usual, I'm late to the party. Sorry about that 😥I was looking for a a guide to help me start up, etc, etc, the A4. I have flown it a few times but memory and other things are not what they could be. Now, for all I know, I have watched your video before! Still, I have no issue rewriting my sincere thanks for this video. You may well be an IRL aviator but having worked with military aviators it is no guarantee of communication or presentation skills 😆 You, my friend, have both of those in abundance. I loved the whole production and as I have a bit of insight into making a video documentary I know it is not simple. Thank you for this as it is really, really helpful and enjoyable. All the best, Dave (Puffin)

With a nickname "Scooter"? Yea -- I'd say so.

god I love this video and this plane!

i really think this mod should be added to dcs as a free plane so when you download the game this comes with the base game moduel free

Well done! "Thank you daddy"

Well I didn't think I would need help taxiing 😅😅😅😂

I love the intro Dude! Sooo 80's Bad ;)

This module is same if not better than some official ones. They should put it in multiplayer servers.

Music Intro! 80's era

Be great to see a NZ A-4 Project Kahu style Skyhawk mod next…

I saw and i learned

dude taxiing this aircraft is hard

Your the new Spudknocker

Well done. Please continue with this. Haven't been flying this bird until yesterday when I learned about the latest 2.0 version. And man, it is so much fun. However I feel completely stupid when it comes to bombing. I can't really grasp the different modes and what to press or not when dropping bombs. So if you ever do an in depth tutorial about that, I would really appreciate it. P.S Is there any way to lower the volume of that release cue sound?

Wow man, amazing video. Great great. How do you put these crew animation?

9:05 Me who's flown taildraggers IRL before. heh heh he heh, AHAHAHAA!!!!!

nice. very helpful. but i think there might be a bug in the special option where you can hit the check box for simplified steering. that doesn't do anything for me. rudder controls have no effects on steering or brakes. am i doing something wrong? also, what setting are you using to bind an axis to brakes? right now i have left and right wheel brake ON OR OFF set to buttons but you seem to have analog control of the brakes. what setting do i need to bind to - i can't seem to find it - and is there something special i have to do to get the effect your getting? previously, when i tried to assign it the rudder paddles on my twcs, it would just brake on one side using left and right rudder inputs on just left side brake. thanks!

Man i love that 80 music at the start, sounds so good and for the plane super well. What kind of music is that ?

Amazing video!, i learned so much from this. at (5:34), i couldn't find any altimeter information on my briefing. so, how do i know the right altimeter option for my altitude radar?. thanks!

Awesome video man. Love the A-4 Mod. The Magnetic corr you made looked like 000.2 Deg. Not 002.0 like it should be. Right?

I did not, however everything I used can either be found in the A-4E Manual, included with the mod, or in the actual NATOPS manual (It's pretty amazing you can use a REAL manual to correctly operate a mod in DCS!)

How do you get to the menu to request the ground power from the ground crew?

Nice tutorial! Which location did you use? Is it one of the default locations (e.g. Caucasus)? Did you create this scenario in the mission editor?Also, how do you call up the radio menu, and is the ground crew there by default, or do you need to enable ground crew somehow?

@SportDCS

Жыл бұрын

This was on the free Marianas map, and yes, I populated the mission through the mission editor. The radio menu is opened by default by pressing the \ key and the ground crew is thankfully always standing by!

Where do you see the amount of trim and flaps?

how do u turn on the gnd like what is the key to request it

Hi i'm pretty nex to DCS and I'm trying this mod and making a cold start, but what key do you have to use to have acces to the ground power unit request?

The backslash key opens the radio menu. From there, click (or use the F-key) for ground crew, ground power, turn on!

Is there parachute to slow down on landing aka drag chut

is there a coms server or something I don't now if im doing something wrong but it says invalid dlc
