That photograph was just an airshow static loadout, rockets and aim9 were never carried together operationally.

No disrespect, but if I were you, I would not take all pictures as pure truth. I do not mean you are looking at a fake picture. It seems to me the aircraft on the picture is being prepared for an exhibition or something similar and is being loaded for show purposes, not necessarily for practical purposes in an actual warfare. I am not an expert and I might be wrong, but there seems to be too liitle clearance between the AIM-9s and the rocket pods. The other thing that is making me look with a suspicious eye is that in the picture you have a TER loaded with 2 rocket pods and a bomb at the same time. I have not seen other examples of such mixed load on a TER. Until someone knowledgeable or experienced says otherwise, or until I saw inflight pictures of such load on an aircraft during a real mission, I would rather consider this load as an unrealistic one, just for show purposes. Again, I mean no disrespect.

just a sample of the scope of this damn project. now expanded to include active duty 1990s Block 30/40 users and the ADFs (not currently in game) Block 25 Block 30 Block 40 and even Block 42 before it gets asked, only plans for one Block 52 squadron. will need it to complete a collection

Oldies, but goldies.

SEAD and hi alt fight ;-)

case in point. and why research takes soo, soo long. trust no one real photo. fake loadout.

Trooper – I hope things are sorted for you. If it's any consolation, I had cataracts removed from both eyes last summer and within a month or so had 20/20 vision in each eye. I do, however, need reading glasses. Cheap readers are good enough, but to avoid any problems with WOFF, I measured the exact distance from my eyes to the screen while sitting in front of the computer and had a pair of specs made especially for that distance. Now I can spot the Huns in their château the moment they think about flying! Best wishes.

Hello everyone! Report for today: I am still working on F-4s overhaul. it surprised me that each time I reearch on various F-4s, they come out with information that surprised me. For example, UK phantoms have the ability to use Sidewinders while loading twin rocket pods at the same time. TW UK F-4s did not allow that. Now that is fixed. Here is a picture of actual UK F-4K: F-4K Phantom FGR.1 in SFCE: Eagle114th

War Journal – 2nd Lieutenant David Armstrong Hawkwood 23 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps Izel-lès-Hameau, France Part 24 "Archie was the heaviest we have yet seen." Wyllie was on his third whisky. I had already switched to tea. I had a recco at seven in the morning and was already up too late. Wyllie was overdue for Home Establishment and wanted to talk about England and my recent leave. The guns had been pounding for nearly a week. Tonight brought a new intensity. Nash and Campbell landed a couple of hours ago – last flight of the day, barely possible given the weather. They said that beneath the cloud the front was sparkling like a sequined gown. “Absolutely thousands of guns. Never seen anything like it,” said Nash. Outside the rain had stopped. This would be the big push. We knew it. “I had two days in the city with my parents,” I told Wyllie. “It was odd. Truly lovely to see them, but somehow we were foreign to one another. I don’t know what they really think is going on here, but I cannot bring myself to talk about the grimmer details. And if I talk about the happy times, it sounds like we are all off on a lark with the Boy Scouts.” “You were happy to get back to the squadron, is that right?” Wyllie understood. “It’s more like being with family than really being with family. Is that terrible?” I asked. Wyllie simply laughed. I had been thinking a great deal about my leave. England was strange now. I resented the gentleman in bowler hats and striped trousers, tick-ticking their umbrellas along the pavement. The ladies in their fine dresses and broad hats annoyed me. Reading the papers about debates in Parliament made me curse under my breath. But here in Le Hameau, things were in their proper place. I put my tea aside and joined Wyllie for a last drink. The next morning, 1 July 1916, marked the start of the great offensive. King and I were to photograph German reserve positions near Pozières, a bit north of the Somme. Our orders were to stay at least a mile clear of La Boisselle. We soon understood the reason for this directive. As we approached Pozières from the northwest, there was a massive blast just ahead. A rounded cone of earth rose from the trenches about the village of La Boisselle, reaching nearly a mile into the sky. One could see the air ripple outwards in circles from the blast until, seconds later, the shock hit us and nearly flipped our machine over. King landed half out of the nacelle and had to clamber back in a panic. A second, even larger, explosion followed close behind the first. We watched in awe as the impact of 10,000 shells formed a solid wall of hell in front of our advancing men. Certainly, this was the end of the war. We took our photographs as ordered and headed home. As the day progressed, news trickled in. Good progress had been made, especially south of the river. Spirits were high. The Ack Emmas found a problem with our engine and we remained on the ground the rest of the day. On 2 July, we again took photographs, this time a bit farther north. Archie was the heaviest we have yet seen. News was mixed and confusing. Bad weather grounded us the next few days. On 7 July, we were part of a squadron show and bombed a Hun rail yard east of Arras. Our fighting machines have been patrolling deep into Hunland and pinning the enemy down well away from the front. We did heavy damage to the yard and returned home without seeing an enemy machine. That afternoon, King and I conducted a long-distance reconnaissance, taking note of road and rail traffic between Bapaume and Cambrai. Again, the air had been swept clean of the enemy. On the ground, however, things were not as rosy. For all their fury, our guns had neither destroyed the Hun wire nor all their artillery and our casualties thus far have been appalling, especially north of the river. While we have carried the enemy first line trenches nearly everywhere, nowhere have we achieved breakthrough. The Germans instead have counter-attacked with all their might. We are faced with the dreadful prospect of a long and drawn-out struggle in a devastated landscape.

YOU ARE MY HERO! I just realized why it didn't work with F-4K and F-4K_75 while works with F-4K_80. F-4K and F-4K_75 is Royal Navy while F-4K_80 is Royal Air Force. And by seting Exported to True, now it works with ALL F-4K (both RN and RAF)! I see now, UK is an unique code designed to have weapons working with both RN and RAF at the same time. I am joyed now! Thank you very much for the help. I learned an important lesson today. Cheers!
