Optional F-4 radar graticules

[+streakeagle 867]

The F-4E as depicted in SFP1/WOV/WOE has green radar graticule lines implying that they are being painted on the screen. This is correct for later F-4E aircraft (after TO 1F-4E-588, TO 1F-4-1056 and TO 1F-4Ej-614). However, prior to this, the graticule lines were etched into the glass. I have taken an image from the F-4E flight manual and converted it into the proper radar bitmap for the early style graticule. The in-game display resizes the bitmap to a lower resolution than shown here, but it still looks pretty good:

 

Here is the image I used from the F-4E flight manual:

 

The F-4B, F-4C, and F-4D all had the etched glass as well, so I modified TK's otherwise accurate green line bitmaps to have the gray etched glass look:

 

 

Here is the image from the F-4D flight manual:

 

You can download the appropriate bitmaps by clicking on the F-4 radar graticules link listed here: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/sflores1/StrikeFighters.html

 

To use these files, simply extract the zip file into your Aircraft folder.

Looks great even on my puny PC ;) Your efforts are most appreciated by this humble pilot!

Thanks. I am trying to sharpen the lines a bit... but it seems the only way to do that is to make them too thick like TK did on the stock ones.
