F-4E Kurnass IAF Yom Kippur & beyond pack 2.3.0

F-4E Kurnass Israeli Airforce Yom Kippur war & beyond pack

 

* UPDATED 12 August 2022 to include ALL F-4E Kurnass variants up to and including the Kurnass 2000. This is now the 'F-4E Kurnass Israeli Airforce Yom Kippur war & beyond pack'

 

There were multiple separate F-4E deliveries prior to the 1973 war and due to the variations in the Blocks all sorts of different configurations of ECM antenna, strike camera, slats/ flaps, 'slime' lights,  MIDAS4 etc. Not to mention local upgrades of 'slime' lights, MIDAS4 muzzle mods and slat instillations. Now throw in the Operation Nickle Grass emergency aid ex USAF aircraft during the war! I have rounded them all up into the first three in-game variants below:

 

Included:

- F-4E_Kurnass       (with & without 'slimers')        

- F-4E_Kurnass_72    (Hard-Wing & MIDAS4)    

- F-4E_Kurnass_73    (Soft-Wing & MIDAS4)

- F-4E_Kurnass_75    (Chaff/ Flare dispensers)

- F-4E_Kurnass_78    (In flight refueling probe, Sparrow well IR missile launcher & expanded Chaff/ Flare dispensers)

- F-4E_Kurnass_2000  (Major avionics, cockpit, weapon and capability upgrade)

Animation / Function

- Canopy

- Hook

- Air Refuel

- Wing fold ______________ only on hard wing F-4E´s

- Gun Vent ______________ automatic when gun is fired or as soon as the landing gear is deployed

- Brake Chute____________ works with the Air Brake below 150kts (Excludes F-4E_Kurnass_78 & F-4E_Kurnass_2000)

 

NOTE:

- This mod replaces existing TW and TMF aircrafts , please remove the existing folders before installing this mod , the existing skins / textures will no longer fit !!!!

- Stock TW squadron decals are used but with more detailed higher resolution versions that have panel lines and rivets etc for the Isreali Airforce Kurnass squadrons: 69, 105, 107, 119 & 201

- Some texture folder names may seem unusual but it is to create continuity to avoid the bug that stops an aircraft upgrading during a campaign if the texture folder names don't match.

Installation:

- Drop all files into your mod folder the way they are setup in this pack and overwrite if ask to

- If you are unsure about the way how mods are installed, check the knowledge base at CombatAce!

- Campaigns folder contains the stock TW 1973 Yom Kippur War and 1982 Lebanon War campaigns modified to include the aircraft, weapons and textures in this pack.
