this are the only pictures i have from the AIM-7R , the AIM-7R is basically a AIM-7P with a IR seeker and more modern avionics after the AIM-7R program was canceled they used the new MHIP (Missile Homing Improvement Program) seeker on the RIM-66M Block III B -

ravenclaw_007 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
after all this years i´m finally made the AAM-N-2 / AIM-7A Sparrow I and that is how it looks like the 2 flares / tracer on the rear are made as self illumination , i have to try if that works in game , it is the first time i do it this way based on a special request i made the AAM-N-3 Sparrow II , there are 2 versions the USN one and the one from the RCAF and based on the RCAF version i made a what if AIM-7B production version from the top USN , RCAF and the what if AIM-7B and i made the last and final version the AIM-7 the AIM-7R , the missile had a IR-seeker in the radome and an updated avionics , the missile program was stoped due to budget cuts and the high cost of the program but there a some rumors that some of this AIM-7R where used in the Gulf War but no deffint prove of it though- 63 replies

ravenclaw_007 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
i made a new tail for the F-4E/F/G´s and thats how it looks now i did not add the pilots name yet for the 68-0317 because there is a small problem with the canopy frames and i dont have the names for the 68-0307 and here is the F-4E_72_TISEO , it is still a BETA version but a very close to final one F-4E_72_TISEO.7z the aircraft has the 1971 cockpit , it is a early cockpit and therefor no ripple quantity selection , if you select for example the Mk82 bomb and you have 18 of them hang on the aircraft than all 18 will drop as soon as you press the button , the only selection you have is the ripple interval with 0.08 sec , 0.10 sec and 0.14 sec if you carry nuclear bombs you may look at the right side panel there is a functioning DCU-94A bomb control panel for them if you go true the radar options you will come also to the TISEO ( is on the 2nd ground mapping ) it has no lock on function it is just fixed view -

AN/ALQ-131 ECM pod versions
ravenclaw_007 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
i found more on the EAPUP , the contract to Northrop-Grumman for the upgrade was awarded in 2012 , the 44 million contract i mention above is the 3rd additional order placed this is the original text from Airforce Technology " the US Air Force (USAF) has awarded the third production order to Northrop Grumman for the Electronic Attack Pod Upgrade Program (EAPUP). The $44m order is part of an existing contract and will significantly increase the number of EAPUP systems for the USAF. In April 2012, Northrop Grumman secured a $52.8m, 27-month engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) contract to upgrade the USAF’s electronic attack (EA) pods. The programme included EMD, a low-rate initial production phase (LRIP) and five production options. Northrop Grumman’s upgraded, digital AN/ALQ-131 pod is designed to operate in support of A-10, C-130, F-15 and F-16 aircraft and aircrews. The EAPUP solution will replace the service’s current EA pods. " so this pods may be in service already for some time , sadly i cant find any pictures of them , if you find one please send it to me -

ravenclaw_007 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
based on some pictures i found the AN/ALQ-131 block-1 was in service from 1983 , the Block-2 from 1989 and i assume the Block-3 (EAPUP) from 2020/2021 , i hope i´m right with my time frames visual differences on the pods / blocks are mainly the lower antenna housing Block-1 Block-2 and the Block-3 (EAPUP) this one is not yet final -

the F-4G Wild Weasel pack is almost done , something was still missing the AN/ALQ-131 , so i was working on it in the past days and here is the new 3d model , adding more details to the pod , mapping and making the templates will be next for the rear inner exhaust part i dont have good pictures so i do have to work around a bit there , the part is not yet finish and will look much better when it is done the pods are using 30 inch suspension lugs for now in some cases the 14 inch lugs could be added i know it is not perfect but i think it will be acceptable- 464 replies
