+ravenclaw_007 Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 this is the F-4D_71 cockpit with early RWR display and Threat warning panel F-4D_71.7z did anybody test one of this cockpits ??? how about the FPS any impact on it ??? 1 4 Quote
EricJ Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I haven't checked yet, give me less than a couple of hours or so and I can post something. Quote
EricJ Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I tested it on an "open" SoCal map and nothing significant with the frame hit. Also with another wingman, morning and cloudy, and the stock Vietnam map, no significant framerate hit. I know it's earlier than I said, but my cat is laying on my backpack and I don't want to disturb her sleep, so I couldn't run my errand like I wanted to. 1 Quote

I did a quick flight with the D_67 in the Mid-West US. Had clouds, 3 wingmen, 6 enemy aircraft. and a convoy of Russian trucks to take out. I didn't notice any FPS hit, seemed to run smooth. Will test more soon. Edited January 24 by CSomers611 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted January 24 Posted January 24 if there are significant differences, will you be doing a pit for the LORAN (ARN-92) Ds as well? i do not know if there was a major difference, but you got the reference material. catch is there were only 72 modified iirc Quote

+daddyairplanes Posted January 24 Posted January 24 (edited) aside from the EF-4D testbeds, im not aware of any D's that carried ARMs period. that was left to the EF-4Cs and the long noses (E and G). shoot, reading into things not many were equipped to carry Mavericks even with Joe Baughers site listing a half dozen serials as being Pave Spike and Maverick capable as for LORAN, i have nothing as far a manuals or pics. but in serial num hunting i did find out that the LORAN birds were converted from many Block 32 and nearly all the Block 33 aircraft if that helps any. cant find anything on whether they were converted at depot or on the assembly line, off topic (ish), didnt you have a launch rail for the Shrike somewhere in your bag of goodies?

+daddyairplanes Posted January 24 Posted January 24 interesting again, i havent seen in flight pics of Ds with Shrikes or Standard ARMs. was especially looking for them in Spangdahlem in the late 70s thinking there might be an earlier version of the hunter/killer teams like in the 80s. no dice tho Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 the EF-4D wild Wiesel did carry the AGM-78 they got modified for it as for the LORAN cockpit i think it is mostly a change in the rear cockpit by adding the LORAN control panel 1 Quote

+daddyairplanes Posted January 24 Posted January 24 well of course the EF-4D got mod'd for it. but then they were un modded and the equipment loaded into the Gs make you wonder tho if there were a handful of Ds that could carry STARM in the 80s tho.... gotcha on the ARN. i thought there might be some pilot displays but that makes sense. double down on that for the EF-4C, which is why i didnt even ask about that Quote
