Hey Gents,

 

I have an F-8 FN DLC Enhancement pack ready to upload.

 

Inside the pack there is the F-8P too, with new Denis Olveira 3D parts added ....

 

What I'ld need are some data/cockpit/avionics.inis tweakings to portrait this later model, anyone interested ? :biggrin:

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?

The stock DCL one.

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.

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.
