  1. those blisters under the wings are AN/APR-25 - and should be a little bulkier longer and more rounded. APR-15 was on the wingtip itself little behind the wingtip lights - -where in late models were located formation lights. here is the visible place where ALR-15 was installed (flat squarish spot with 6 screws) ALR-15 was old shitty system that could look only left and right (more or less) and two lights in the cockpit indicating left - right side warning. later changed to APR-25 and later ALR-45 was added too (at this point ALR-15 was removed from use already) 1. those are speed break actuator fairing - so if you have fuselage speed brakes and no windspeed brakes this should be not there (very early A-6) 2. APR-25 3. here is more or less ALE-18 chaff dispenser...(do not remember if it is one or two slots) I will check next week.
  2. Looks good. You are missing wingtip lights, and ALR-15 antenas on wingtips (early A model), front gear doors - those 3 lights should be evenly spaced along the side of the door (angle of attack indexer lights), There should be a small slot on the lower fuselage (left-hand side) between the engine exhaust and speed brake for AN/ALE-18 chaff dispenser
  3. yet, you were asking in your 1st post about the real thing in Shooting Star and Sabre. So I pointed out that no HUD in that period.
  4. Make fake weaponstation for rhino with viper's 370gal tanks. And do not load them on rhino. But it will be available for 16 if you choose to use it as your wingman. I am doing this walkaround in some of my helos to have mixed flights (fully equipped) huey/cobra or cobra/loach etc..
  5. no not this....I will try to figure out which one. I think most understand what is HUD and what is simple reflector/gyro reflector sight. You also admit that you know the difference...so why build confusion. you have jet aircraft and piston engine aircraft, aircraft...both can fly...but you feel the difference.
  6. come on.. no HUD back then. Map, height, speed, timing, and training. It is nicely described in one of the Meteors' books, can not remember right now which one.
  7. a lot of the thingies/differences are in small details, like tail hook doors/or no doors, intake scoops, front gear doors, wing fences, chaff dispensers, etc etc. I will search over the weekend for what I have. A good source is 'Intruder. the operational history of Grumman's A-6' published by Shiffer. Also, Tailhooktopics blog is a reliable source...https://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2015/09/grumman-6a-vs-6e-intruder.html - must read as many 3d models are based on late A-6..
  8. I can send you max file, (Friday/Saturday)
  9. generally, they are going to the mother's womb for a big deal...small things can be dealt with on-site.
  10. did something like this for a stock drumstick. VA-85 for 1965 CVW-11 deployment. Decal camo on two airframes amid 17 white/greys. And also for TRAM in ODS30.. yours is VA-165 in 1989. I think they painted one more in sand shades.
  11. just some time ago I started Vietnam war squadron deployments. So got some reasearch. no 2 and 7 - are you planning A-6B and A-6C too ?
  12. Mirage F1CR standard F4

    Very nicely done. @ludo.m54 check data for weapon stations in data ini. you are missing some StationID= numbers in sequence...(11,12...and some more) resulting that the last working station is No10.
