The A-7A Corsair II was introduced in 1967. I'm thinking of retrograding the TW A-7A to somewhere between 1960-1965. The A-7A was introduced with: AN/APN-153 navigational radar AN/APQ-115 terrain following radar AN/APQ-99 attack radar and RWR (AN/APR-25 I think). I don't know enough about avionics to know if these were available in the early '60s. There were 6 hard points for bombs which I think are too many and I will probably remove a couple. Any advice, especially on the avionics is appreciated. Any ideas are welcome. TIA, Geary

Thanks. That's probably one piece of the avionics I need to remove. Just need to figure out how and cover it in the cockpit.

Hey, I changed the name. No one will know.

Made with Pappychksix's TW F-14 Templates.

Wrench's USN F-111B Dominator (with a few skin tweaks).

The TW F-15A has a non-animated tail hook. It's got a piece of metal riveted over the hook. I added animation lines to my F-15N data.ini but it doesn't actually animate the hook.

I had considered those as well as the E and I may do one of those later but I've been tinkering with the TW F-15A and have a half-built template for it. Still all a WIP.
