F-4E-35 with long gun muzzle (MIDAS IV mod)

---

Mod for the F-4E-35 with long gun muzzle (MIDAS IV mod) from 1971-72:

 

This is a small mod to the F-4E-35 Phantom II (available for download here at CombatAce:

This version is correct for a Vietnam-era unslatted F-4E model and is a must-have, whereas the F-4E as presented in Wings Over Vietnam has slatted wings (a post-Vietnam modification).

 

During 1971-72 the USAF F-4Es in Southeast Asia were modified with the MIDAS IV extended muzzle for the plane's M61 20mm Vulcan cannon. This presumably helped the issue of ingesting muzzle gases into the engines during the firing of the weapon.

 

I have enclosed the stock F-4E-35 data.ini modified to include the enclosed long gun part. (In my own install I duplicated the entire F-4E-35 by renaming the folder, aircraft.ini and data.ini files all to "F-4E-35LG" and in the F-4E-35LG.ini I renamed the AircraftFullName= to "F-4E long gun").

 

Drop the .LOD file loose into your aircraft folder.

 

My thanks to Dave and the rest of the team which brought you the original F-4E-35 package, and for allowing me to release their original data.ini file with the text entries to allow the long gun to appear.
