DCS VNAO T-45C Goshawk (Community Mod): Released

FYI I still can’t access any download link… :frowning:

Not this one either? Upload files for free - VNAO_T45_v1.0.zip - ufile.io

It is throttled but seems up. Not sure if it includes the ethereum miner bits. :wink:

Once mine is download in 21, wait 29, no 38 minutes then I’ll look for a better rehost. I hate waiting.

XKCD is always fantastic, but that one I really really love.

Do I need the base VNAO module to be able to use this?? Thank You

That’s not your fault, apparently the plane has too weak engine and the airplane light weight is not factored properly by the sim (to pass the shuttle). You really need a lot of thrust because of that. I got that from dev stream.

I just unzipped the VNAO_T45 zip into my C:\Users\(me)\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft folder and it was all good. You might need to create those folders if you haven’t done that before (the Mods\Aircraft ones to put the VNAO_T45 one in).

It feels very friendly. No drama so far. The wingman does some crazy things, but for carriers and patterns and the like it’s sort of relaxing.

Is the cat stroke on a real T-45C that slow…I count about a 4 second run down the track - is that to keep from tearing the nosewheel off?

My extensive research confirms…4 sec is accurate…

The 2nd result on a Google search gives this - which might be useful… (2009 date…so things might have changed…)

Sorry for the spamming (the forum often yells at me about it…haha…) - if anyone finds a MP server that has the T-45C, I might be able to hop on later (like late late tonight), so post one if you find one. Would be fun to do some stuff. I’d love to give those practice bombs and rockets a try (I think they are smoke markers). Be nice if the server had a target/training range on it… :thinking: Yes, yes, I know… “I” can run one (and we will), I just can’t commit to getting that up and running THIS week. Next week however…

There’s a few here

I used the VNAO T45 Open Flight | NO PVP S02 and it was rocking…

Looks like that Nevada one has a range.

Can’t remember you being this stoked for a DCS mod before, I will have to get it. Make a nice mudspike fly in when we get the briefing room for the carrier. The mudspike greenie board, qualify and you get to fly the hornet :relaxed:

Ha…well…I really enjoy the simple modules a lot because they aren’t taxing on my small, barely primate level brain. Probably why I enjoy the C-101/CC so much… Although I’m growing to really enjoy the Hornet because it has all the fun of flying and has some cool stuff it can do too…unfortunately I just can’t remember all the stuff…haha…
