Radar Delete & PhotoRecon Mod (RF-101A Voodoo)

[KiwiBiggles 98]

Apologies if this has already been figured out and done before. I was experimenting with Jarek's RF-101A Voodoo this morning and was pretty chuffed with the outcome, so I thought I'd share it here.

All modders for the F-117A: the F-117A DLIR and FLIR camera/laser designator helped me figure out the ini code 

The key 'trick' is to create a camera, laser designator, and 'dummy' LGB to simulate the RF-101 Camera Package for high and low-altitude photo-reconnaissance. I've just spent a very pleasant morning flying around the Peninsula, taking 'snapshots' of North Korean target arrays! It makes recon missions a lot more interesting...

Here's the relevant ini code:

I think that's everything, and I've attached the 'DTV' tga file for the Flight folder.  

The RF-101A was not fitted with radar, of course, and apparently, the camera package was not always fitted in operational settings. I've set my game up so that I have to manually add the camera package in the loading menu for a little more immersion, and I can choose to do visual recon by Mark One Eyeball, too.

I hope someone else enjoys this as much as I have. Massive thanks to the modding community!

Similiar to what I did with the U-2, in adding the (visual) drift sight in place of the radar screen (as it uses the 104's pit)

Nicely done!!!
