[+EricJ 4,331]

Yeah sure, will do

[+EricJ 4,331]

Yeah it's the Avionics.ini as it works as intended for me (saw a friendly radar on the RWR display

will see what i can do

could you delete  this entry on top in the Avionics.ini

RadarTextureSize=512

has nothing to do with the RWR display but who knows 

i checked the entrys for the RWR it is exactly the same as the standard TW  , so will start working on the Radar settings

Hahaha, ok if I go around 60k for my pits i believe i will be sort of safe.

You are still one of my role models hahahaha

@ravenclaw_007 tested again the F-4D_67 and the F-4D_78 cockpits together in the same terrains: the 67 still doesn’t work, the 78 works perfectly.

F-4D_67, Static position, Texas/Mexico map. No problem, the RWR will work, friendly radar is visible.

test with the F-4E and F-4G aircraft and the new cockpits

Will the E/G cockpits be presented for testing?
Thanks.

the F-4D_78 uses Type=TEWS for the RWR and the  F-4D_67 uses Type=VECTOR

so i looks like as i f you have aproblem with the Type=VECTOR , the entry is the same as the original TW so i dont know what to do

never heard of that one , after all this years there are still some ini´s i dont know

but if so why is the RWR working if Eric removes the Avionics.ini from the aircraft folder ????

 

found that COUNTERMEASUREOBJECT.INI , it holds only entrys for Chaff and Flare

I would move the entire FLIGHT folder, test F-4D_67, and then move it back.
By the way, I don’t have any problems with your cockpits, everything works.

Is there going to be one for the F-4D_75?

Yeah I'll try it out and get back to you.

[+EricJ 4,331]

When I removed RadarTexture the screen went black at 80% and all I got was a black screen (game did load but didn't see anything). I retried the mission and I could see but the cockpit textures were missing. Frankly you may just want to stick with the stock ini if possible to get it working if that's all you changed.

sorry , for the radar settings  i would need some changes  to get it working , the RWR is standard TW

what i dont understand is why the Type=TEWS works and Type=VECTOR does not 

but that could be a work around for you guys , you would have a old RWR display with modern symbols if that would be ok for you

Yeah at the end of the day I won't fly it that much, but as long as it works without that file then I'm for it.

Very nice. Thanks Raven as always.

ok i just made the changes and notice that the Type=VECTOR has a frequency setting , maybe that is one of the problems , i just removed the frequency entry and the RWR was still working , maybe you can try that as well or change the LoBandsMaxFreq to 0.2 and the  HiBandsMinFreq to 20

LoBandsMaxFreq=4.0
HiBandsMinFreq=8.0

 

in case this is not working  , here is the F-4D_67 cockpit with Type=TEWS , just drop the RWR folder in to the cockpit folder and let the avionics.ini overwrite the existing one

F-4D_67 TEWS.7z

Thanks,  but wasn't the TEWS later on though? I mean it's neat but not time correct if I understand correctly.

the early F-4D/E did not have any option for the ripple Quantity , even the late F-4D´s do not have any switch in the cockpit for the Ripple quantity but i set them on the F-4D_78 to 1,2,18

Weapons manual shows ripple quantities of single, pairs and full ripple:

From T.O. 1F-4C-34-1-1 

"Weapon Selector Knob 

The weapon selector knob, placarded WPN SEL, is a  rotary type switch with eight positions; only seven positions are used. This switch is used to select the type of munitions and method of release. The switch positions are BOMBS-SINGLE, BOMBS-PAIRS, BOMBS-RIPPLE, RKTS & DISP-SINGLE, RKTS & DISP-PAIRS, GAM-83 (AGM-12), and AGM-45. 

Note..... 

....The only automatic mode of intervalometer operation is BOMBS-RIPPLE. In the automatic mode, the 
bomb button is depressed and held until the bomb release sequence is complete. The manual mode requires that the bomb button be actuated for each release."

Interesting the picture in the manual shows bombs: single, triple and ripple not bombs: single, pairs and ripple like in the text of the manual. This could all be after a modification from the early F-4D/E with no ripple selection like you were talking about?
