Happy new year

could be , do you have this TW max exporter notes ??? i just checked the TW side but i cant find the exporters

the lod is in the folder , i made now so many weapons but only now i found this problem , so it is not only with this particular weapon i posted above , this problem i have with many ( all ? ) weapons i made

the name Lod2 or Lod3 is something that TW is using as well , so i dont think that this would be the problem 

i wonder if it is something with my game setup that causes this

i was looking how far i have to go to see no more changes between Lod001 and Lod002 , i started with Lod001 at Distance=15 and to my surprise i could not see any changes because the Lod002 never appeart

any idea what is wrong here ???

Thank you very much for the information on the CCD seeker/guidance section upgrade, RC. People might see me as bit lazy for not researching info. on my own. My thinking is that there are of course lots of information on the internet, yet few of them are really credible. I'd prefer instead ask you guys for my better understanding on stuff I'd like to know about..

Yes, neglecting the Navy's own upgrade plan on the AGM-65F(to re-seeker to the CCD; thus become the 65J) the Air Force's AGM-65H and K both  have the same CCD seeker. But the marking "HK2" could mean that a further upgraded "Version 2" CCD seeker is in place on both versions of the missile.

To clarify, I mean 

1) Olive Drab motor section, Plain White "HK2" seeker section could suggest it as the AGM-65K2 ; bigger 136 Kg penetrating warhead like the K/G2/G/E, further improved 65K

2) All White motor section, seeker section "HK2" could suggest it as the AGM-65H2 ; original 57Kg blast warhead like the A/B/D/D2/H, further improved 65H

I found a photo for case 2. upload later.

Secondly, the missile from my third picture clearly has an opaque seeker like the 65Ds that should not be the CCD seeker What is that model? the 65D2?? don't know

 

olive drab motor is most likely a AGM-65D , white motor is a AGM-65B
the pictures i have from the K version shows a grey colored missile without the HK-2 mark , except for the Hungarian AGM-65K ( they are white )

for AGM-65H2 no idea

the missile with olive drab motor and grey colored seeker could be a simple AGM-65D , the CCD seeker has a clear glas and looks like a AGM-65B seeker

this is from a training missile

The designation AGM-65H was assigned to AGM-65B/D missiles upgraded with the new CCD seeker , the AGM-65K is an AGM-65G upgraded with the CCD seeker. At least 1200, but possibly up to 2500, AGM-65G rounds are planned for conversion to AGM-65K standard. The CATM-65H and CATM-65K are the captive-carry training versions of the AGM-65H/K

the CCD seeker section for both versions are the same and named HK-2

here is a renamed AGM-65B , this AGM-65B was renamed to AGM-65H and changed to an CCD seeker at Ramstein AB , the missile in your picture above is a AGM-65D with CCD seeker renamed to AGM-65H

made some changes on Luftwaffe LAU-51A and LAU-32B/A rocket pods , the LAU-32B/A is a new  model

A-4E with Mk.77 mod 2 bombs , they are not 100% correct but i did the best i could based on the few pictures i have

i assume they did it the same way as the german F-104G crews , go low go fast , as for the weapons deployment i think it was something similar as shown below

for navigation the crews would have maps from the target area and maps for the way to the target area and they would follow as much as possible natural features , assumed targets would be mostly in east - germany and poland and a high los of aircraft and crew was calculated in

my home base was near to Memmingen air base our alternate landing base in bad weather , the picture below was taken there , so we saw regularly F-104g going low and fast even in bad weather conditions as long as the ceiling was not below minima , and we had some close encounters while flying very low in a altitude you as a helicopter crew normaly would not expect a F-104G or a F-4F

thanks a lot , with the info material that i got from Durasoul and yarkarov i can build that MK77 mod 0 and mod 2 , THANK YOU gentlemen 

i now only need a picture of the filler cap for the MK77 mod2 , if anybody comes across one please send it to me

@Durasoul

they are used during the Vietnam war and a short time after , and i find them only with the USMC dont know if the USN used them

i´m working on the Mk.77 fire bomb series and i have finished the MK77 mod4 , mod 5 and mod 6 , i would like to make the Mk77 mod2 and or mod 3 as well but i would need some more detail pictures of this bomb in particular of the front and rear as well as the filler holes

this are the pictures i have of this Mk77 mod2 or mod 3 bombs , i have no idea what kind of igniter and fuze was used here , so if you have some info or good pictures of this particular bomb pleas send them to me , i NEED them  

this is what i have finished so far

THANKS 

so we have now

1. RADIATION HAZARD TO PERSONNEL
2. _____________________________________
3. _____________________________________
4. _____________________________________
5. HIGH POWER
6. RADIATION

i think this could be it

AHHHH..... by creating the parts in 3d i found the words for the last pictures

1. " TO OPEN
2. PULL LEVER
3. TURN"

and on the Bottom

1. "TO CLOSE
2. TURN
3. PUSH TO SAFE "    or    PUSH & SAFE    or      PUSH LEVER      not yet sure on this one

here is the AN/AWW-7/9/13 Walleye Data Link Pod , maybe someone can read this items as well (hopefully)

here are the parts i can not fully read

" WARNING , RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION HAZARD " and on the bottom " HIGH POWER RADIATION ", what is written in the 4 rows between is a mystery to my

this one is even harder to figure out

on top is written " TO OPEN PULL " the next words i can't read , on the bottom i can only read " TO CLOSE "

damn.... , i get old , i made this pod already it is the AN/ALO-101 (V)3 , i realsed it with one of my F-4 packs (i think)

in any case here is the pod  ALQ-101v3.7z
