MQ-9 Block 5

MQ-9 Block 5 coming soon. screenshot by Coupi.

i´m working on some new F-4E cockpits and came across of some AN/ALE-40 info , based on that info did most F-4s get an ALE-40 CHAFF dispenser by 1974 and the FLARE dispenser by 1978 , the AN/ALE-40 control panel in the cockpit is first showing in the 1979 flight manual in SF2 we have the AN/ALE-40 chaff and flare dispenser on the F-4E _75 what would be wrong if my info is correct , it would be interesting to know wehr the chaff only dispenser was mounted on the pylon , on the inner or the outer or on both sides or are this the chaff bundles that was carried in the air brake housing , and how was the chaff deployed given that no AN/ALE-40 control panel was in the cockpit until 1978/1979 i think i have to change that F-4E-75 model AN/ALE-40 control panel in the rear F-4 cockpit

Just because the item does not appear in the manual until a given date does not mean that it was not in use earlier. If you note page 8-4 reads "Change 4" at the bottom and page 8-5 reads "Change 7" next to the page numbers. These pages were added to the manual at different times after 1975 and then released as one comprehensive package in 1979. Unfortunately, any interim changes in panel position, if any, are lost. The installation of the control panels was likely an ad hoc affair if a unit did not get the technical support representatives from the equipment manufacturer and there was no USAF guidance for where the panels should be placed. Hence, there may have been several configurations depending on when the panels were installed. Further, some units would receive the equipment for installation on the flight line and others would have it installed during depot level maintenance or overhaul. The manual reflects the official requirements for the placement of the panels as of its publication. It is likely not the only configuration that was approved or used as these change over time.

MQ-9 Block 5 was uploaded just waiting for approval.

I found the skyscraper.lods, which i made in 2009, on my harddrive. For test reasons i placed them in downtown Buenos Aires. Left the Buenos Aires Dock Sud Tank Farm, mid the portland, right the powerplant Costanera. In background you see the National Congress Building, the argentinian parliament. (Okay its the LOD of the german Reichtag. But it is the only LOD which fits more or less.) The textures of the skyscrapers must rework. but for making a skyline they are not to bad, i think.

Su-20 Egypt Air Force 1973

This is the list of ground objects that are on my to-do list so far: 1. Centurion tank 2. M48 Patton III tank 3. Um Al Maradim Class of missile attack craft 4. USS Pegasus (PHM-1) 5. FV601 Saladin Air 1. MQ-9 Block 30 2. Be-12 3. SU-33

i´m going true all my manuals to get an answer and i just found this in the TO 1F-4E-2-30 manual , in the first picture is a note showing the different configuration of the AN/ALE-40 dispenser note1 showing that an all chaff configuration is possible and was done all the control panels shown in picture 2 are shown in the second cockpit layout in the flight manual from 1979 ( 1 february 1979 ) the first cockpit layout ( typical ) is not showing any of this panels so how did they use the AN/ALE-40 in 1974 ???? or did it take 5 years until all F-4´s where updated with the dispenser and than finally they added it in the flight manuals ???

This post which includes comments from Ed Rasimus and 2nd hand observations from front line F-4 maintainers should make it really clear about the implementation of the decoy dispensers on F-4s. The short story from Ed is that the F-4E got the dispensers in 74-75, the F-4C never got them, but F-4Ds still in service finally got them "some time after 1977". F-4 chaff/flare loads (narkive.com)

Cats and dogs.....

Can ask my friend Gene for any help, if at the time he still fly the Rhino

i was curious what the NSN system is telling me as you can see this 3 AN/ALE-40 are registered in 1976 /1978 , did not find any one registered earlier

i have the information that flares where available from 1978 onward , and only the chaff AN/ALE-40 where added from 1974 on to F-4´s and the first flight manual that i own is the one from 1979 showing the AN/ALE-40 control panel actually there are 2 cockpits shown in that manual , one typical with out the panel and one after TO 1F-4E-588 , TO 1F-4-1056 and TO 1F-4E-614 with this panel so if the AN/ALE-40 ( chaff/flare ) was added in 1974 how was it operated from the cockpit with out the control panel ?

With the CATExtractor from Mue's Toolbox you can search for files (in all CAT and DLC files at once) by applying a filter, e.g. "insign*tga":
