Sorry Viper, not this weekend.

I've got about 6 freinds beta testing the first beta version.

The next one will be a general public beta release. This well contain @4 payload versions of the A-6E Intruder. The closed beta only has a light bomber in it.

Screen capture of current model in game. There are still some issues I'm working on, eg. MK84 payload proxy problem, flaps/radder animation problem, etc...

A-6E's from left to right, Mk82, Mk81, Mk84, Mk81 & Mk82 payloads (everyone except the MK81's don't load in OFP!

Just so long as they actually load up with 1.90 patch keep working hard. If you could get those things to load up with 1.46 as well you'd be in business.

I'm currently using 1.90 myself.

Have fixed a few more issues with the base A-6E model, and have been doing some inhouse testing of the new model.

Taxi'ing onto runway.

I've also been testing the NAP capability of the A-6E and have manage to keep it below the 100m mark and even under the 50m mark.

Below 50m's it pays to watch where your flying and not anything else, as you'll crash in a big way.

Flying 483km/h at a height of 22m's

Flying 438km/h at a height of 14m's

Another flyby 438km/h at a height of 14m's

I hope this helps tie you guys over for a few more day.

I've just released a beta of the Intruder bomber (mk81 armed) to the public. See Topic here!

There are of cause a few things that haven't been complete yet on this addon.

This aircraft is a subsonic attack craft it can do NAP flying very well if handled by a good pilot , but the AI's not good a flying below 100m's and tend to crash a bit!

As you can see I've managed to fly below the 50m mark and have even got down to below 25m's at 483km/h ( only thing is at this speed and height you have watch what your doing)

Here's a scale example of the A-6E with other Aircraft.

If you look through my other posts you find there's a large number of image of the A-6E, through item development.

i downloaded the beta...looks good..but somehow i feel the cockpit is huge..cause the pilots look too smal in it..or maybe the plane is a little bit over scale. I hope these textures aren;t final. You should add some part lines..some dirt...some stains on it. This will bring it to life.. cause the model looks good.

cheers

The cockpit interial is still in the works as I've a very limited number of photo of this area. But the plane is to scale ( this took me a full week to get right). The cockpit just needs to be filled now.

The textures are only test textures at the moment.

Till I find the cause of the weapons not showing, the A-6E public beta will stay at the point it is at.

DragoFire

[DragoFire 0]

Have fixed weapon problem and here's a few screen captures for you all.

[DragoFire 0]

Have fixed a few things, the cockpit is still being worked on at the moment. I'm also looking into adding folding wings (mainly for use with carriers when one's done). Still trying to also get a working turret going for the Gunner sights and laserdes.

At the moment I've made five payload models;

Rocket Gunship ( carries 6 LAU-10 5inch FFAR launchers, each holding 4 rockets & 6 LAU-61 2.75inch FFAR launchers, each holding 19 rockets)

Heavy Rocket Bomber ( carries 6 LAU-10 5inch FFAR launchers, each holding 4 rockets & 8 Mk-83 1000lbs freefall bombs)

Attack Bomber (  carries 14 Mk-83 1000lbs freefall bombs)

Heavy Bomber ( carries 5 Mk-84 2000lbs freefall bombs)

WARNING DO NOT DROP BOMBS BELOW 100M, AS BLAST WILL DAMAGE YOUR AIRCRAFT!!

Intruder Bomber ( carries 28 Mk-81 250lbs freefall bombs)

Note: I'm going to change this payload to Mk-82's in the next beta release

I've upload these for everone the beta test, while I keep working on the cockpit and a few other special things for the A-6E's.

I wish that the tracer's would (could) be changed though

I wanna see some Flight of the Intruder attacks

[DragoFire 0]

I've been chatting with "Sefe" (many thanks), and with his advise I've got the wings folding. They do need a little bit of a tidy up, but with this "new" knownledge" I'll be adding the tailhook and a couple of other features.

Here's it in action;

And the real thing;

I hope that what I've found is of help to others.

Looks awesome ! If only there was a carrier to launch it from this'd be heaven

I've even got an idea on how to cataput the A-6E off an carrier once there's one available. And still thinking about how to get the tailhook to work when touch-down happens.

[DragoFire 0]

Mk-20 Redeye (cluster bomb)

GBU-10/12/16 Paveway II's(2k/500/1k lbs laser guided bombs)CBU-78 Gator (antitank/antipersonnel mine deplorer bomb

[peanuckle_00 0]

Now the harpoon is what we really needed. If you make those, will I be able to put them on my tomcats?

Really nice DragoFire m8

When will you update the beta with the new version with the napalm bomb and the wings looks very promising m8 keep up the good work

And DragoFire m8 it seems everyone is scared to make a Aircraft Carrier you have good moddeling skills m8 why don't you make after you A-6 project m8

Been toying with the idea of making an carrier, complete with air-defence weapon systems, radars, etc... and utility vehicles (I'll make those first for the Airports).

Anyhow if I don't catch you'll before Xmas, "all the best"
