Imagine that the Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm had received F-4Js, instead of being practically consigned to history by the politicians...

 

I've kept the A69 serials inherited from the F-4Es loaned by the USAF; they ran from A69-01 to A69-23, so these begin with A69-24. The fact of using "69" comes simply from the fact that the F4Es all had "69-" USAF serials. Otherwise, the scheme is loosely based on the one used for Skyhawks, adjusted to fit the Phantom.

 

I think it looks nice, in any case! Be patient - let my have my fun, and then one day when I'm bored, I'll upload all sort of things. :yes:

This might be of some interest, too...

:biggrin:

 

mind you, you'll need to SF/Wo* LODS imported to SF2/2:V to make it work

 

BTW: I like it!!! The question is, could HMAS Melborne handle the Rhinos???? (well, ours could fly off Essex class, and I KNOW off MIDWAY class, but with reduced fuel loads -- too heavy for the cats. Our friend of ours dad served aboard Coral Sea in SEA, and they always had to launch 'short' of fuel, and then hit the tanker once airborne)

EDIT to above:

 

the RAAF Phantom mod will ONLY work if you use the old SF/Wo* lods .. as the new F-4E lods are mapped a little different. I've just been flying it, and it looks/works just fine.

 

You'll also need to adjust the main F-4E_RAAF.ini to point to the NEW avionics and cockpit inis. Thusly:

 

[AircraftData]

AircraftFullName=F-4E Phantom II (RAAF)

AircraftDataFile=F-4E_RAAF_data.ini

//CockpitDataFile=F-4E_cockpit.ini

CockpitDataFile=F-4E_72_cockpit.ini <--- here

HangarScreen=Oz_Rhino_Hangar.bmp

LoadoutImage=F-4E_loadout.bmp

LoadoutFile=F-4E_RAAF_LOADOUT.INI

AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll

//AvionicsDataFilename=F-4E_avionics.ini

AvionicsDataFilename=F-4E_75_avionics.ini <--- and here, too!

LoadingScreen=Oz_Rhino_Loading.bmp

 

You'll also have to change the AttachmentType= from just USAF to NATO,USAF to get everything to load.

 

it needs a new hangar screen, too, one that the pictures and such don't interfere with the 'hot spots'

Beat you to it, Kevin! I've ported it over from SFG, put the '72 cockpit in it, and used it on the bad guys more than once! Actually, they didn't serve in Vietnam, which rather cuts down on the options. Shame.

 

No idea about the Melbourne. Have to look...

Melbourne's flight deck was 690ft 8in long, and had steam cats - but I can't find out how wide it was; apparently it was pretty narrow, which caused the sort of problems you'd imagine.

 

I haven't found specs for Coral Sea, though.
