i had a good day today and i got the early version of the F-4D cockpit done , it is still a BETA version but for everybody who likes to test it here it is PLEASE backup your ini files before overwriting it with this new ones PLEASE let me know if you have any problem with FPS drop or any other problems and on what terrain F-4D.7z the following ini files are changed and needed to get the cockpit working F-4D_Data.ini F-4D_Cockpit.ini F-4D_Loadout.ini F-4D_Avionics.ini on the right side panel you will find the DSU-94/A nuke control panel , if you load a nuke and this panel is not working check if the weapon you loaded is listed on the bottom of the Cockpit.ini and if it is not listed just add it to the list , after that the DSU-94/A panel should work if you find any problems or errors please let me know , this is still a BETA have fun , ravenclaw_007

I had some days with not publishing much of my WIPs, but I have been busy adding details, please, if you find errors, feel free to correct me :D And at the end I may have a question for @gepard What is that lever for?

i´m not able to work on any mods right now but i thought that i can share something i did last year when i made my first AN/ALQ-101 ecm pod some years ago i did not have any of the reference material i have today , like manuals and original blue prints and pictures , so the first ALQ-101 pods i made are wrong by the dimensions and as well as the type names for it , that was the reason i started last year and made some new AN/ALQ-101 ecm pods thiis is what i came up with QRC-335A / AN/ALQ-101 AN/ALQ-101A with RAT AN/ALQ-101 (V)2 early version AN/ALQ-101 (V)2 late version AN/ALQ-101 (V2 Special , this are ecm pods for a specific threat expected on the mission the red markings are painted over the existing ones , this pods where always carried in a pair with an normal AN/ALQ-101 (V)2 pod ( early or late ) AN/ALQ-101 (V)3 AN/ALQ-101 (V)4 , USAF and German Air Force AN/ALQ-101 (V)6 , USAF and Israeli Air Force AN/ALQ-101 (V)8 , USAF and Iran Air Force AN/ALQ-101 (V)8 , Royal Air Force AN/ALQ-101 (V)9 , USAF and Iran Air Force AN/ALQ-101 (V)10 , USAF AN/ALQ-101 (V) 10 , German Air Force AN/ALQ-101 (V)10 , Royal Air Force all this ecm pods are in this pack , includet are new Loadout.ini for the Buccaneer because of new names for the UK pods , just drop them in to the respective folder and let overwrite if ask to PLEASE remove or delete any existing AN/ALQ-101 pods before you install this new ones ALQ-101 Pack.7z some reference material an F-4D with to AN/ALQ-101 (V)2 pods , the one in front is the one marked special original blue print from westinghouse by going true my Iran Air Force picture i came across this ecm pod , it is clearly an AN/ALQ-101 like the (V)8 but a short version of it , so i start searching for info material on a short version (V)8 and found this page in an T.O. !F-4C-35 manual and there is an AN/ALQ-101 (V)9 listed with a total lenght of 112 inches , so i found the short version pod , i just had no clue that this pod existed and that the Iranian Air Force got them the Iranian Air force modified this ecm pod to an X-Band pod around 2015 with a frequency range from 6.2 to 10.9 Ghz , the call it the Shahin X Band electronic warfare pod this pod is includet in the pack , picture is below Shahin X Band ecm pod have fun with the pods , ravenclaw_007

Moon to my west, sun to my east, and a long escort mission ahead.

G'Day all, I realised that it has been over 17 years since I built the C-130J cockpit, so I decided it needed some love too... Dels

In 1969, the Soviet Union delivered the first of 87 MiG-21Ms to the East German Air Force LSK/LV. This aircraft was eagerly awaited in the GDR, as it promised a greater range, a higher weapon load and an improved radar. But when the aircraft became part of everyday military life, the joy soon gave way to great disillusionment. It became apparent that the MiG-21M had lost a large part of its maneuverability compared to its predecessor models. The acceleration ability was also no longer what it was used to. The pilots were loudly critical, which was unusual, because in the GDR it was strictly frowned upon to criticize Soviet military technology. At first the head of the air force wanted to punish his pilots for their criticism, but his deputy convinced him of the opposite. If loyal elite pilots dared to criticize openly, then there must be something to it. Therefore, a series of training air battles was scheduled in which the MiG-21M had to compete against its predecessor models. In every single air battle, the MiG-21M was outmaneuvered and simulated being shot down. The aircraft was simply too fat and underpowered. The disillusionment was great. Therefore, it was decided to use the MiG-21M from now on only as a reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. In order to bridge the time until more modern MiG-21 variants arrived, the older MiG-21 versions were ordered to be modernized. The focus was on the MiG-21PF and the MiG-21F-13. The MiG-21F-13 was the most agile version of the MiG-21. It was loved by its pilots. But this aircraft had some disadvantages. These included the lack of an air target radar, a low weapon load and a less than reliable engine. These problems needed to be addressed. The project was codenamed "Moskito". At the end of 1969, the Chief of the GDR Air Force presented the "Moskito" project at a meeting of the top leadership of the Warsaw Pact states. Polish and Czech participants were interested, so an agreement was reached that the "Moskito" project should be jointly pursued by the three states of the GDR, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Poland took on the task of modernizing the weapon system. Czechoslovakia would take care of the engine and the GDR would revise the sensor system. Work in Poland progressed quickly. This was because Poland was already working on a double launch rail for air-to-air missiles. It was called Monsun and was originally intended for the MiG-21PF. It now had to be integrated into the weapon system of the MiG-21F-13. This was achieved within a few months. The Czechs' task was more difficult. Initially, the original R-11F-300 engine was to be replaced by the MiG-21PFM engine. However, there were some delays and problems installing the engine. In addition, the increase in performance was only achieved when the afterburner was used, not with normal thrust. It was only when the Soviet Union agreed to supply the R-13F-300 engine that real progress could be made. Normal thrust increased by 5%, and afterburner thrust by an incredible 25%. The test pilots were enthusiastic about the MiG-21F-13 with this engine. In the GDR, they were faced with the problem of developing an air target radar that would match the RP-21 in terms of performance. The RP-21 did not fit into the slim nose of the MiG-21F-13. Therefore, the radar rangefinder SRD-5ND Kwant was used as the starting point for radar development. By using semiconductor technology instead of vacuum tubes, it was possible to reduce the weight of the device, increase its reliability and triple the detection distance. Instead of detecting a large aerial target at 7 km, the new radar had a range of more than 20 km. Making the radar's small antenna swivelable was a major problem. But after a few failed attempts, it was possible to develop a reliable mechanism. By mid-1971, project work had progressed to the point where the components developed by the three participating countries in the "Moskito" project could be combined in a prototype. Flight testing went surprisingly smoothly, so that the conversion of the first MiG-21F-13 to the new standard could begin in early 1972. In the GDR, the work was carried out in the aircraft factory in Dresden. Modernized aircraft were given the type designation MiG-21F-13M. The Polish aircraft were given the same designation, while the Czechs called their machines S-106M. Between 50 and 60 MiG-21F-13s were converted in each of the three countries. Czechoslovakia built another 50 new machines till 1976. The MiG-21F-13M saw its first combat deployment in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The Soviet Union demanded that its allies compensate for the aircraft losses of Egypt and Syria by supplying MiG-21s. The GDR supplied the unpopular MiG-21M, while Poland and the Czechs each sent 12 MiG-21F-13Ms to Egypt. They were first deployed in the air battle of Al-Mansura, where they were able to shoot down 11 Israeli F-4Es without losing a single aircraft of their own. The Egyptian pilots were enthusiastic about the MiG-21F-13M. The MiG-21F-13M was flown in the GDR until 1985. In Poland and Czechoslovakia they were taken out of service in 1990. The pilots of the MiG-21F-13 loved this aircraft and considered it the best MiG-21 version ever.

Now it has its own shark mouth decal, it looks better.

this is the F-4D cockpit from 1967 with an early RWR display but still without the threat warning panel , its for the F-4D_67 F-4D_67.7z and here is an other update for the F-4D cockpit lod , just drop it in to the F-4D cockpit folder and let overwrite if ask to F-4D_67_Cockpit.LOD all animation should work now , canopy close / open , Hook lever and the Landing Gear lever should work if not let me know

Posing for a photo... Loving the AV-8B Plus, so many fine details, and would love the TAV-8B too, if/once it is released.

Hello, Halo, Helos..

Hello everyone After testing with various texture as color filter for TV, this is the best I can do that would make it seem like you are using old CRT TV: UPDATE: WIth excellent ideas from Menrva, added the noises' to CRT effect layer, here is latest screenshot: Created four textues for testing color filters This one is the best, not too transparent (clear) nor too dark Along with top layer (TGA) containing CRT style texture: Eagle114th

Work on the Iberian Penninsula/NW Africa map rebuild from OP Pelayo is taking much longer than expected/anticipated. Due to recent events my motivational index has dropped into single digit territory. It's also a bit difficult to find 'what goes where' with respect to the various industires in Portugal, Spain, Morocco and Algeria. OTH, all the airports have been redone with deep details. All runways have been repaved and repainted (you can actually SEE the lines now!!) Rest assured I'll get back to it sometime as soon as the shitstorm passes. The Indian Air Force Fitter A's should be out next week

say huh? gotta try something more laconic, like "Good morning gentlemen. The temperature outside is a brisk 10 degrees ...."

Possibly to someone this post will seem unnecessary, but that's the way things are... who lives in an economic paradise to share with us the tip and we change the issue by massive purchase of airline tickets... Certainly the world has been in an economic crisis for a long time and it is not strange that the crisis hits even our beloved meeting point, my proposal is that we put aside the differences and contribute ideas that sustain the site beyond the economic capabilities to afford or not to afford a subscription. My proposal focuses on 3 points: Rates Contribution Diffusion Fees: I see that the real problem of the 10 dollars (for example) is not simply if I don't have it to pay now, but if I do I can't assure you 10 dollars every month... while the monthly fee if it could be reconsidered a value less we could many access to a more lasting fee to contribute over time. Contribution: The contribution of material could be an alternative way out for members who contributed or contribute to the site, whether we like it or not without new material the site loses interest, and thanks to the material new subscriptions will be encouraged. Diffusion: The diffusion of the site will be key to attract new subscriptions. Every member can support the diffusion of the site in social networks or related communities, this could have incentives such as prizes either in subscription quotas or access to exclusive material. Alternatively, you can also make a space of exclusive material for subscriber customers, which can eventually be released over time but guaranteeing early access in exchange for subscription. You can also grant free access to certain material on the site, in an effort to be promotional and allow new users to get to know and promote the site based on their experience. Extended accounts can be raffled among subscribers of the same more economical accounts. You can raffle courses or tutorials of modifications so that new users are encouraged to collaborate with new material and eventually get savings based on contributions. It would be good if Erik could make transparent the approximate expenses required by the site just to estimate a goal to achieve with all the actions. I have many things in my mind, but according to the time change I am getting sleepy, according to your comments I will be unlocking and remembering other ideas as well, I remain very attentive to other proposals or suggestions or constructive criticism.
