Their trademarks have expired, one in 1984 and one in 1992, but I understand your reluctance to use them.

There are a few more recent filings, but in general itās better practice to avoid them altogether if we are not associated with the manufacturer.

I realize the AD-3 and 4 donāt carry weapons but are you able to add external fuel tanks?
I donāt see the option to add stores, just the map
Watching a youtube in-flight video I was surprised to see how agile the Skyraider can be flow. It is a France based (Muse Salis at Ferte Alais south of Paris) Skyraider. With no external loads and I guess low fuel on board roll rate is 6 to 7 sec and flight behaviour surprisingly responsive. Watch https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/C8s5S8wbwYc to get an impression.
Maybe developers should adopt the flight model for low weight configs?

The Flight Model Review channel on YouTube posted this video (link below) showing a modified Skyraider flight dynamics file that demonstrates some similar behaviors. He was mainly working on ground handling but the aircraft in flight seems a bit like the Salis one. Heās been pretty negative about the Skyraider but then heās pretty negative about a lot of aircraft. I donāt yet own the Skyraider so I canāt judge one way or the other - just thought this might be of interest.

Will this be available to purchase directly from the MSFS Marketplace, and if so, when do you think itāll be up? Thank you!
Itās currently going through the ingestion process. Canāt confirm a release date just yet.

Thank you! I look forward to its release!
Im excited to try his flight model, heās done good work in the past. Iāve read that Miltech is planning their own improvments too, so itll be interesting to see how the two flight models compare.

Any idea where his flight model is available? He seems to have done a fair amount of flight dynamics work in the past, but so far I havenāt been able to find out what his name, what work heās done, or where he posts. Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.
Sure, heres his flightsimto account: https://flightsim.to/profile/FlightFizzix
The Skyraider model isint uploaded yet. It sounded like he wanted to fix a few things in his most recent video on it.

Ah, got it! Hadnāt put him together with FligthFizzix. Will check out his othersā¦ and also keep an eye on reactions to his Skyraider and any Miltech updates.
Appreciate the heads-up!

Is there any chance of possibly including a fix for the productās āBad Newsā livery, as well? Currently, the bottom of the horizontal stabilizers and elevators arenāt properly textured (they should be light grey, like the rest of the bottom of the aircraft). All of the other camouflage liveries appear to be correct.

Great news, much appreciated! Another missing key bind on my wishlist: fuel boost pump. This item is hard to reach for mouse operation, hence assigning a button would be helpfull.
hereās an overview of my paintwork for this wonderful mdel so far:
I also added all (?) the stencils I could find:
The one above are all on fs.2.
I also painted one without any markings, would anyone be interested in that as well?
