I want to use 3D light effect
Is it possible for these values?
Any idea?

Shockwave landing lights will be a hassle because the land based models like the A-7D have it attached to the nose gear, sea going models (e.g. A-7E) have it at the right main gear.

Anyway, I only figured out the [lights] positioning for the land based models (nose gear):

light.* = 5, 10.900, -0.40, -3.600, fx_shockwave_landing_light_small_old

To have both land and sea working, you could split up aircraft containers or use different light channels with an xml controller (which I did not do, I did not think it was worth the effort).

Thank you!

Good that this thread came up from the archives.

How about the cold and dark procedure, the manual isn´t very helpful in this respect. Is it possible to start by the book or just ctrl+E?

The link referring to this was dead and lead to junk site.

Nope...cntrl-e....other than that, you will find the avionics and operations far more challenging...she is not a fly by the armchair type of plane...the best a-7 made for asx all around. Hope you picked up all the volumes while they were on sale.

Actually I got it from sales a year earlier, but the test flight queue is so long.

You were a bit mysterious with your comment, so only ctrl-e to start-up? PC Pilot review pointed this out as well.

correct...control E is the only way to start the TF-41A2B engine.

landing light for the naval version

light.xxx= 5, 0.58, 2.9, -2.0, fx_shockwave_landing_light_narrow

also need to edit panel.cfg to add

gaugexxx=shockwave_lights!SW Lights_gear, 1,1,1,1

to extinguish light when retracted. set appropriate 'xxx' numbers.

works on the 2 seater, should also work for single seater as datum of the model is probably at the same location.

I Bought A-7 vol.1 few days ago for TacPack idea. I spent many hours to checking and trying cold and dark (i dont like cartoon planes). Im surpriced of realism of this in Corsair model . Only ctrl and e and always generator is on. Some of bugs ( like doesnt move back) of switches still not solved . Harrier of Razbam is for me a big star, Corsair, only reflection of star in the lake (I talk about check list). For sure its a old model from 2010....but I expected a little more with start up procedures. Pity because 3d model and VC looks very well still.

I bought this awhile ago; at the time I hadn't read about the requirement of CTRL+E to start, so it came as a bit of a disappointment. As well as, if I recall correctly (it hasn't been installed in my sim for quite some time), the inability to shut it down after a flight. I don't always care to run through a full start-up on everything I fly, but I almost always taxi to parking and fully shut everything down after a flight.

Hi,
I've been flying the 2 seaters for years and I love the plane. I just bought the single seat A, B, D and P package last night. I see the familiar HUD control panel in the single seat P model, but the panel isn't in the A and B models. I did figure out where the hotspot for hiding the stick and the throttle, but I can't find the control to turn on the HUD. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

I have FSX Steam Edition in Windows 10.

Thanks to the folks at Razbam for another great model.

A-7A and A-7B did not have the Head Up Display. The AN/AVQ-7 (v) HUD was introduced in A-7D for the US Air Force and then included with the A-7E, for the US Navy.

Agree -

as far as the Navy was concerned, the A/B models were placeholders for fleet introduction and community buildup. They knew the INS and weapons system plus a better engine were in the works. Early fleet startup with the A/B gave the Navy a jump ahead when the A-7E was finalized.
