Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of RAZBAMs Vought A7C/H/P(CH & EA7L Corsair II aircraft model. We at RAZBAM have worked to deliver to you the most accurate model of this fascinating aircraft and we promise you that you will enjoy flyingit. The LingTemcoVought A7 Corsair II is a carrierbased subsonic light attack aircraft introduced to replace the United States Navy's A4 Skyhawk, initially entering service during the Vietnam War. The Corsair was later adopted by the United States Air Force, to include the Air National Guard, to replace the A1 Skyraider, F100 Super Sabre and F105 Thunderchief.TheaircraftwasalsoexportedtoGreeceinthe1970s,andPortugalandThailandinthelate1980s.TheA 7 airframe design was based on the successful supersonic F8 Crusader produced by Chance Vought. It was one of the firstcombataircrafttofeatureaheadupdisplay(HUD),aninertialnavigationsystem(INS),andaturbofanengine. Thepackage thatyou havepurchased containsthe followingmodels:A7KAirNational Guardtrainer,TA7CD(US Navy) Trainerversion,exA7BupgradedtoA7Estandards,theTA7P(Portuguese),theTA7H(HellenicAirForce)andtheEA 7L (US Navy) , which wereTA7C modified into electronic aggressor aircraft, upgraded to A7E standard while retaining twinseatsin1984.

CONTROLCONFIGURATION
SincetheA7CorsairIIisamilitaryairplanecapableofdroppingordnancethefollowingcontrolsmustbemapped. WeaponsRelease(Trigger) The airplane armament release function is dependent of the setting of certain switches. Unfortunately FSX does not provide support for that feature. In order to be able to drop ordnance in both free flight and missions the following key mapmustbeused: JoystickButton01:CabinalertSeatbelts(on/off).(Seefigurebelow)

Ifyoudonothaveajoystick,setanykeyboardcombinationtothisevent. Note: The default keyboard combination for dropping objects still works in missions, but it wont trigger the weapons animation.

SWITCHESNAVIGATION
The A7s cockpit instruments have several types of switches, pushbuttons, knobs and levers. Usually you only have to click with your left mousebutton on the switch to have it change its position, but there are several that have multiple positions that move back and forth. For these multiple position switches and knobs you have to leftclick to go forward andrightclicktogobackwards. Thefollowingisachartofthedifferentswitchesandknobsfoundonthecockpitandhowtonavigatethem.

The HYD PRESS Caution Light will turn on when the hydraulic pressure in the PC1, PC2 or PC3 systems falls below 1,500psi. The EMERG HYD ISO Caution Light will turn on when the EPP is extended providing power to both PC1 and PC3 systems. Note: The hydraulic system works as close as the real one as FSX allows us. The changes are as follows: PC1 operates from the engine pump. PC2 and PC3 each operates from its own auxiliary electrical pump. Electrical failure will bring downhydraulicpressuretothesesystems.
