CF-110M Phantom II for the Royal Canadian Air Force

This is a reskinning and ini edit of TK's F-4M Phantom II from SF2: Europe.

Two skins are provided, a South East Asia skin for hypothetical Canadian participation in the Vietnam War, and an Aerospace Defence Command Grey skin for NORAD service.

 

======Back Story========

 

The idea for this aircraft comes from my alternate history site. It was first operated by this alternate Royal Canadian Air Force in 1969 (in this timeline, there was no unification in the Canadian Armed Forces)

The RCAF originally did not want the Phantom, being content to stick with the Thunderchief and the Voodoo until the TFX (CF-111C) and FX (CF-15) were ready during the 1970s.

Canadian participation in the Vietnam War changed that. Canada committed Voodoos to defend the social democratic North Vietnam from Nazi German forces operating from the South and from Burma. The CF-101's inability to dogfight, and unreliability in the harsh tropical conditions of North Vietnam made early replacement necessary. The only aircraft available was the CF-4K, being introduced to the RCN as its strike fighter. McDonnell and Avro Canada devised a land-based version with minimal changes. This entered service in 1969 and quickly went to Vietnam. After the war ended in 1975, the Phantom replaced the Voodoo entirely in the RCAF.

The wikia article for the aircraft itself is found here:

======Installation======

 

Copy the Objects folder into the Objects folder inside your mod folder.

Add the following to squadronlist.ini:

[squadronxxx]

Name=409SQNCAF

DisplayName=No. 409 Squadron

Nation=Canada

[squadronxxx]

Name=410SQNCAF

DisplayName=No. 410 Squadron

Nation=Canada

[squadronxxx]

Name=416SQNCAF

DisplayName=No. 416 Squadron

Nation=Canada

[squadronxxx]

Name=425SQNCAF

DisplayName=425e Escadron

Nation=Canada

Change "xxx" to the numbers following the last entry in your squadronlist.ini

In the Decals/F-4M_RCAF folder, you will find four files named "SQN402.tga", "SQN403.tga", "SQN404.tga", and "SQN405.tga". You will need to change the numbers in these names to correspond to the numbers in your squadronlist.ini

Sherriff,

 

We added those squadrons to the SQUADRONLIST.INI for the upcoming CA Realism Pack.

 

Just download it from the link above (it isn't final, but no existing numbers will be changing) and make the following assignments:

 

SQN402.tga -> SQN788.tga

SQN403.tga -> SQN796.tga

SQN404.tga -> SQN822.tga

SQN405.tga -> SQN823.tga

 

Unforseen circumstances notwithstanding, you should never have to adjust your numbers again.

Sherriff,

 

I just checked out your alternate history site. You could do a nice series of campaigns, though you might need a custom NATIONS.INI since alliances are so severely shifted.

I'll definitely need a custom NATIONS.ini. The first thing I am working on relating to that is some aircraft. I have made some preliminary tests of a "Messerschmitt Me 563 C" It looks OK. I'll need to obtain more material for markings, and I am waiting for PayPal to get the DLC M III C. My tests were based on a Mirage III CJ. I really don't want to base a Nazi delta jet on Israel's Mirage III.
