Included is the following: - D-704 with retracted Basket in HighVis White - D-704 with retracted Basket in LowVis gray - D-704 with deployed Basket in HighVis White - D-704 with deployed Basket in LowVis gray Pods are set up like the known BDOUG-pod as GP. A template is also included. Installation ============ 1. unzip to a temporary folder 2. open "Put_Content_In_Your_MOD_Folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P 3. enjoy! The included A-4E_65_DATA.INI is an example how to set up the Pod in your planes data.ini and is only changed by adding a new weaponsstation for the Pod. This station works on all Skyhawks beginning from A-4B. Credits ======= - Thirdwire and TK for a great game - ???? data.ini from the bdoug-pod as template - myself - model, skins, template If you created the ????-marked items, please contact me, so I can add your name in the credits!

After 1,5 years I'm in the final stages of the Malaysian Skyhawks. I made a fakepilot to add several parts specific to the plane - one of them is the different gunsight. Now my problem is, that this part looks good from external view, but is also visible from cockpit-view floating over the dashboard. The fakepilot is added under the fuselage-section which has "ShowFromCockpit=FALSE". So are there any other options for a fix other than removing the new gunsight-model from the fakepilot?

added new version that contains both versions - set up as gunpod and tank

You're probably right. On the other hand - the bdoug-pod exists for years now and nobody really cared that is was set up as a gunpod ever since...

Hey there. What I did here, was adding an external model, that reaches into the cockpit and therefor is visible. In your case the mainproblem is that you need a display of some sort. The designator image is set up in the cockpit.ini, so I think the cockpit has to provide something that can act as display. I think, the only thing, that can be done is to add a static display model, that always shows the same pic. But I'm not really an expert here, so maybe someone else knows more. I'm also interested in a solution for this for a possible A-4S/SU which requires a MFD to be added to the cockpit.

Jungle Scooters - Almost done. I will also upload the D-704 refueling pod tomorrow.

Ok, I found my problem: I adjusted my cockpit position and changed the size of the gunsight a bit. After removing the old one by ini-edit the new one is roughly in position now. One small glitch stays though. If you move the head to the sides or up and down it starts to disappear at some point, but I can live with that.

Edit: Nevermind. For some reason I've only seen the initial post.

It actually does nothing except looking good. No inflight refueling in game, so no real use for the pods.

Exactly thats how it works - it's some sort of perpetuum mobile. 😉 Seriously, refueling pods are used for aerial refueling by planes that use the probe-and-drogue method (for example Navy-planes). But of course the amount of fuel transfered is limited. 😛
