"You see, iron hand's my thing."
Great aircraft but the hook won't grab a wire on any carriers for me.
looks really nice.. and great setup you got there.
Thanks man!
Please do a video on how you built your screens 🙏🏻
Its like flying anything else in this game. Whats the point if cant even drop a freaking bomb...
Yes exactly. I love to see the community so brainwashed xD
Yup, I was thinking DCS for the military stuff.
Exactly. Flying in a military jet and not being able to do combat is a waste. MSFS for civilian stuff. DCS for the combat.
@@Duchoviciusit's like saying. We can sell you a gun but you can't buy ammo.
@@Duchovicius just remember there’s more to military aircraft than the combat. That is the niche MSFS fills.
I agree with the sentiment though but I do hope combat stays out of MSFS. Here’s my perspective
VFR/sightseeing/fun - MSFS
IFR/training - Xplane
Cold War/modern milsim- BMS/DCS
WW1/WW2 milsim- IL2
With IL2 Korea on the cards for next year, I’m looking forward to having both the right map and the right aircraft. This is where DCS fails for anything other than modern.
I’d rather fly the C47 in IL2 than the Asobo version, proper paratrooper drops.
Would like to see an A6 in DCS but only if we also get a Vietnam map. I’ve not purchase the Sabre for DCs for this reason, no Korea.
No one sim is going to be fit for everyone’s needs…hence why I fly many 😀
curious about pricing sensitivity: 25 bugs for a 2-year work or for the consumable experience as shown? one may look cheap, the other expensive. how should pricing go to cover development cost vs. satisfy the buyers? what are your thoughts? and what steps do relate to what price level?
Totally agree, $25 is a drop in the bucket. If the module was crap, I'd get it, but by all accounts, this is a very good aircraft. Furthermore, suggesting that this should include the prowler is pretty ridiculous. Although built originally from the A-6 airframe, its still basically an entirely different aircraft. Different exterior, different cockpit, different performance and capability, etc. Just silly. On top of it, the guy is flying with very expensive winwing gear, has a very robust multi-monitor or projection setup and has clearly spared no expense on the hardware...then complains about a quality $25 module? Bizarre.
In my opinion aircraft that just look good and have a decent flight model with minimal switches and buttons in the cockpit should be around $15 to $20 which is where I feel the A-6 fallsn, it also doesn't come with a manual. In order to justify $25+, i feel the aircraft needs more included, such as deeper systems or include all variations of the aircraft as in this case including the 4 seat EA-6, or even including a cool scenery like miltech did with the Chinook, and although stupid because this isn't dcs, but animating dropping fuel tanks or bombs just to add more to the experience. In the A-6 case I was also dealing with bugs such as not being able to map the hook to a button and a few other issues.
@@CrewChiefThreeSix both of you have their points.
allow me to add my thoughts:
25 bugs from my point of view hits the quality level pretty accurately.
a more sophisticated model (usable weapons, deepers systems etc.) would consequently go up to let's say 39 or 49 dollars.
a near study level would then be at around 79 dollars.
i agree that 25 is accurate for this aircraft as offered, but the obvious anger about what's all missing drags the impression of fair pricing.
thank you both for your impressions.
@@CrewChiefThreeSix Fair enough. That didn't come across in your video. Apologies if I missed it.
I want to emphasize that I thoroughly enjoy flying the A-6 it's great! It's just my opinion that $20 maybe more in line of what it offers, and just because I have high end gear and disposable income doesn't mean I can't have an opinion on the pricing as I purchase all my aircraft with my own money. I appreciate all of your comments.
nice, but why does the play back footage/exterior view cam look real good, but the footage/view taken from the "go pro?" cam on your head look real bad? like, the quality between the two is night and day?
Once again, what’s the point of flying strike combat aircraft in a non-destructible flight sim?
I get your point, but I still enjoy it!
I play both sims, dcs and msfs. The only real reason for me to buy this FM is only to practice my carrier landing skill. The Mil tech super pro carrier add on allows me to do this.
What was your experiences working on the F-35 and Viper? That sounds awesome! Also say hi to the doggo for me :D
@2ksnakenoodles It was a wild job getting the opportunity to work on the F16C, one of the best 4th gen fighters with technology from the 80's to then working on the newest 5th gen the F35, the coolest part was doing engine runs especially in the F16, we would connect the arresting hook to the ground to do engine runs in full afterburner! We don't do that in the F35.
I bought it today and I have been doing a lot of catapult takeoff but not yet been able to land on the deck due to some faulty settings on my part where the arresting cable was a no show.😂
Ya as you saw in the video I also can't get the animation of the cable being caught by the hook either. I've only tried it with the miltech carriers though
@@CrewChiefThreeSix i don't think the hook works on the A6. You can land it only on Miltech carriers because you enable the settings for it. (like a cheat code) i hope they fix it, to be able to launch and land on any MSFS carriers... like on the USS Saratoga
They did a great job. They need to make one for DCS.
It's a fun and interesting jet to fly!
@@CrewChiefThreeSix Been waiting for it to come to DCS for awhile.
Ooooh sick flying today!
Thanks I appreciate it! It was a fun sortie!
Great flying and thanks for the review.
Thanks for the comment and nice words! I appreciate it!
What model of A-6 is this? The speed brakes weren’t on the wing tips on the earlier models. They were on the fuselage.
Not sure Deimos didn't say, but I believe the speed brakes on the fuselage were only on the early models and due to issues they changed the design.
First they tried putting holes in them. Then moved them to the wing tips
Like the TV's! But landing with full ordinance? Can these be dropped/jettisoned?
How did you select the start point on deck? I have the super carrier pro pack and was trying to fly off the coast of Vietnam, but it seems like when you start from parking, there is only one option.
I used slew mode to "park" the cold and dark jet on the elevator and then just proceeded to start it up from there, appreciate the comment!
From what I’ve seen I agree it is overpriced. It however is definitely one I’ll be picking up in a sale.
Having already flown Deimos’s Tanarg and Flanker their aircraft are definitely getting better and better but not to this price point.
thanks for the fun video to watch.
Don't get me wrong the A-6 is fun to fly just a little overpriced for what it offers, it's one of the better deimos acft for sure! Appreciate the comment!
Does anyone know where the wing fold button is located in the cockpit? I could bind the key but still wanna know where.
Ya its on the center console towards the back
Wait for Sim Plaza more like.
Enjoying your videos and reviews. Been spending more time in DCS lately (looking forward to an eventual Heatblur A-6) but was also looking at this one. It does seem a bit overpriced for a somewhat unfinished model (at least on the interior). What is with the giant neon green beachball attitude indicator? It is hideous. I've seen pictures of the one in an actual A-6, and it looks more like a weird greenish Game Boy display. This one just looks cartoonish. They need to just stick a Garmin in there and be done with it.
Thank you! awesome to hear when someone enjoys my vids! My next video is actually going to be the chinook in DCS, cant wait for it to come out on wednesday! I agree the green bubble HSI is a little off hopefully it gets improved.
What are your sensitivity settings in game ?
It depends on the aircraft but it's pretty close to out of the box settings the most I've changed is making the rudder less sensitive
Was my favorite mod in msfs10
I enjoy flying it, thanks for the comment!
I think MSFS never got the flight dynamics right.
I'm excited to see how it improves in msfs 2024
You don’t use taxi lights on a carrier
Thanks for the info! I was in the airforce so I don't have any firsthand experience on navy carrier operations
Spent lots of time on carriers. Position lights only used at night.
I don't like the flight dynamics. It's like flying a 737
Welcome to the old school fighters wtf do you expect
I mean it's a little chonky so it's going to handle as such haha, thanks for the comment!
flying this and a cesna is the same. none of it can drop bombs in mf2020.
4 seat jet fighter is CRAzy tho !
I mean what other “Fighter/Attacker” in the World had That many pilots IN ONE 😅a lot of Lives at risk fr
Can someone explain me where is the fun in flying military aircraft in a SIM that does not implement any kind of weapon or damage model lol
I enjoy flying badass planes anywhere in the world with no restrictions....but I understand what your saying and when I wanna drop warheads on foreheads I play dcsn I enjoy both!
