NZFF

Okay. I'm looking for a really good A-4K. Or any A-4 model.
But the thing is, I'm also looking for a RNZAF repaint.

..help?

Your a little early for that one yet Eddy - far from release , and that is a 'F' model , the 'K' was quite a bit different externally , canopy and tail , RAZBAM is also working on a model and have the old FS9 model that measures up to a 'K' and also the 'TA' .. also Nigels cheap KAHU at fratbro's .

Tom, as Ian says check out the Kahu A4, I just recently re-purchased this myself after upgrading to FSX, its an older model but a lot of fun to fly, and a good price until the Virtavia is released...

Nice clip .....dude, you flew the whole thing with the speed brakes open must have felt like a jet powered airtruk.

Not my vid, I would probably have flown it with the parachute deployed instead

It will be interesting to compare the new models , I was comparing with Virtavia's 111 to the A4 cockpit , the latter almost seemed a remodelled FS9 , ok but could do with something new ... i really would like to see some RAZ's updates to compare but guess time will tell .

This was a test vid flown by the flightmodel test pilot and former RAN A-4G driver. Important thing to note: Speed and AoA control during the entire flight. Watch the AoA indexer staying "on-speed". This was the prime purpose of the demo video. Now go and try to duplicate the flight at home. I'm not sure how many of us armchair pilots can match Phil's flying skills, remembering that he hasn't flown an A-4 in 20 odd years

Point taken big Sean, i wasn't taking the ####. And of course your right.....flight sim is "flightsim" , and flying (anything) is flying.

Awesome, if you do a MP give me a little notice, I'll be in for sure. Have been buzzing round Israel, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon (of all places) in the A4 lately.
