[Fictional] McDonnell Voodoo FAW.4 - RAF

McDonnell Voodoo FAW.4 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

This is a simple mod of erikgen's superb McDonnell F-101B Voodoo to give a fictional Voodoo FAW.4 in the markings for the famous 'Treble One' Squadron of the Royal Air Force during the 1960's. This revised upload now adds a second skin (No.74 Squadron) and a nifty fixed in-flight refuelling probe.

 

BACKSTORY

Delays in the English Electric Lightning programme and the rather pedestrian performance of the Gloster Javelin encouraged the McDonnell Aircraft Company to offer various versions of their outstanding Voodoo aircraft to the RAF initially with the F.1 single-seater and FAW.2 two-seater for RAF Fighter Command and followed by the FR.3 single-seater reconnaisance aircraft for RAF Germany and the improved FAW.4 two-seater for Fighter Command. Entering service in 1961 the Voodoo FAW.4 served with three squadrons of RAF Fighter Command and supplemented the earlier FAW.2's in the air defence role. Normally armed with two De Havilland Skystorm radar-guided missiles and two Fairey Firestorm infra-red heat-seeking missiles the Voodoo FAW.4's were a quantum leap in performance over the Gloster Javelin and remained a popular type in RAF service right up until their retirement in 1981.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the VoodooFAW4 folder into your Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the VoodooFAW4 folder into your Decals folder.

3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the VoodooIFR folder into your pilots folder (this is the IFR probe so is optional).

4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AIM-4K, Skystorm and VoodooFAW4_Tank folders to your Weapons folder.

That's it!

 

CREDITS

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.

Special thanks to the legend that is erikgen for producing the Voodoo in all its variants and to Column5 for the FM.

Special thanks also to yakarov79 for making the IFR probe for me.

Thanks also to the creators of the Genie and Falcon missiles that I've tweaked and rebadged (just for a giggle).

And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Regards 

Spinners

      McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Phantom F-4E (early - short cannon muzzle fairing)  to create a fictional Phantom FGR.3 in service with the Royal Air Force in the 1969-1972 timeline with markings for No.6 and No.112 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command as they might have appeared during this period when deployed to Dhimar. Both squadrons have an association with the Middle East and Desert areas with No.6 Squadron being 'The Flying Tin Openers' whilst No.112 Squadron were famous for being the RAF's 'sharkmouth' squadron.  

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!
