+Coupi Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Hello, very good project! You could add the Sherloc RWR system! I don't know the specifications, however I found this pic! What is your SF2 pit choice? Edited May 25, 2013 by Coupi Quote

+SupGen Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Paulo, there's this thread: http://combatace.com...-f-8efn-rwrecm/ . Unfortunately, my go to site for all things AeroNavale, French Fleet Air Arm, seems to be down (503, no server available), I hope it's not permanent. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

+paulopanz Posted May 26, 2013 Author Posted May 26, 2013 The renovated F-8E(FN) was designated F-8P for prolongé (extended life). It was more of an overhaul than a modernization, although some modern equipment was fitted. The entire electrical and hydraulic system was replaced, and the structure was inspected for fatigue and reinforced. A Martin-Baker Mk 7 zero-zero ejection seat replaced the older zero-120 model. The radar and flight control systems were reconditioned. Only the avionics were really modernized. A VOR/ILS system was fitted, as well as an IFF, a GPS, a TACAN, a radar altimeter and a Thompson- CSF Sherloc radar warning receiver. The RWR was fitted in a rectangular fitting on the aircraft's fin, which distinguishes the F-8P from its predecessor. The cockpit layout was also changed and a new inertial navigation system, similar to that of the Mirage F.1, was installed. Despite the overhaul, the “Crouze” (as it was called by the French) was obsolete: it was not adapted to modern warfare environments and maintenance was increasingly difficult and heavy. The Crusader production lines had been stopped a long time ago and the French Navy depended on the Davis-Monthan AFB boneyard in Arizona for spares, when it didn't have to manufacture them itself. That's what I found. Thanks Coupi I'll test the RWR. No ECM on board? It seems not. Quote
+paulopanz Posted May 26, 2013 Author Posted May 26, 2013 Someone could add Martin-Baker Mk 7 for me? Quote
+Spillone104 Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Nice project! The Mk7 is here: http://combatace.com/files/file/8345-matrin-baker-mk7-vers10/ But if I remember correctly it shows some "ropes" and is better to turn off the shadow from it. Quote
+paulopanz Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 Well Gents, RWR works fine (Thanks very much Coupi) MK7 seems in place Alex no ECM needed If there aren't anymore suggestions I'll go for the uploaded this evening. Quote
