Douglas A-4F Skyhawk (Remastered)

Auto Credit Based on Cutters127's Douglas A-4F Skyhawk

This is the definitive version of the A-4 Skyhawk based on EngineerOtaku's A4D-5 (A-4E) Skyhawk and a minor modification to streetman19's A-4AR Fightinghawk.

New Features Includes:
1. Two of my custom-made AGM-62 Walleye TV-Guided Glide Bombs (Both Walleye I and Walleye II).
2. A smoothened and improved avionics hump.
3. US Navy aircraft markings and roundels.
4. A hydraulic piston for raising the main cockpit view when the landing gears are down.
5. A Catapult Bridle for accurate carrier take-offs aboard USS Beast.
6. New renovations to the Cockpit.

Main Controls and Activation Groups:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Nose Wheel Steering Mechanism
AG3 = Drop the two Walleyes
AG4 = Jettison Bomb Rack
AG5 = Drop Tanks
AG6 = Release Bombs
AG7 = Release Catapult Bridle
VTOL = Flaps
Trim = For Trim Controls

Note:
1. This aircraft has unstable take off characteristics because of the external stores, I recommend to pull down the trim controls to pitch the horizontal stabilizers up or remove the fuel tanks, if you want to.
2. There are two Walleyes on this aircraft and both have different performance stats in of its effective range and flight time towards the target. The Walleye I has a effective range of 5,500km in terms of its glide time, while the Walleye II is effective at 7,500km.
