About This File

Republic F-105B Thunderchief (Stand in)

 

 

 


Uses the TW F-105D model as a stand in with the following mods:

 


- Removed nose pitot tube and added one to the left outer wing via fakepilot method.

 

- Data.ini edits (weight, thrust, service year etc).

 

- Ranging radar only.

 

- Re-painted and re-panel lined the nose to re-shape it into that of the F-105B.

 

- Moved cannon port.

 


- Canopy can open.

 

- Removed bombay fuel tank.

 

- Cockpit is from the F-84F as the F-105B did not have the 'tape' style instruments or a radar scope like the F-105D

 

- Added 'fighter sweep' mission as if a shooting war had developed during the Cuban Missile Crisis some of the 4th TFW F-105B Squadrons were tasked with an Air Superiority role.

 

- One generic USAF silver skin using stock decals and another for the 335th TFS, 4th TFW that forward deployed to Macoy AFB during the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

 

 

 


To Install:

 


- Un-pack and drop into your mods folder.

 

 

 


Credits:

 


- TW for the F-105D.

 

- Sundowner for the template.

 

- Zurawski & Gunrunner for the cockpit.

Thank you this is an excellent effort.

 

It's better to use the stock TW F-100D cockpit, it looks closer to the real F-105B cockpit than the one that you use now.

I thought about that but I preferred the straight canopy frame and larger gunsight glass/ visibility this one has. Pros and cons with either.

Very beautiful excellent.

The only thing to change, is pilot and seat position which are too back in the cockpit, they need to be set more forward.

This is a default of the stock airplane.

The other defaults (always coming from TW model) are the windscreen wrong shape of left and right sides which is too high, and front Wheel strut which need to be rotated 180°

I know how to move/change pilots and seats, but I guess the other defaults comming from stock model can't be changed easily.

 

Anyway excellent work!

I have a tractor beam off the front right of the pit reaching out past the gunsight unfortunately

There's a typo mistake in the download : Directory is 'Pilot'. It should be 'Pilots'. Due to that there's pilot legs below the aircraft.

Didn't realize someone finally did a B.  If I had the ability & fortitude to create my own aircraft for StrikeFighters, the F-105B would have been it.  The markings look right on. The default J75 should have been tweeked by the SF guys for SF2, along with the J57 for the Hun & Sader.  A former F-4 pilot once told me the 2-position burner nozzle, with it's instantaneous single-stage "hard light" was notorious for waking up everybody on base.  Maybe it could be represented with single-stage, full burner at ~85% throttle on sim.  My only firsthand experience was seeing F-106s of Florida ANG flying over my house back in 19-digity.  Anyway, very nice representation of the small nose B.  Just need to find a skin for the F-105B Thunderbird & display smoke exhaust.
