i finaly found a picture of the " Smiths  Industries Combination  Counter-Sector Fuel Quantity Indicator " that shows at least some part of the display , it is on ebay.com and i contacted the guy who sells it there if it would be possible to get a picture with power on , unfortunately he can not do it because he does not have the electrical layout for the connection  , so i took the picture and made a negative of it and played a bit around with the setting and finally i got what i wanted a picture that shows the screen , it is not very detailed but good enough to make the indicator in 3ds max

my first model was a bit more colorful the second is back to green , but now i wonder in the cockpit pictures from the F-4F and F-4G the indicator has a dark blue glas so may be i´m wrong with the green , so here my question is still somebody around here that worked or flew the F-4F or F-4G and knows this particular indicator and can tell me what colors it actually shows ???

i have to add that the indicator has a liquid crystal display ( LCD-Display )

i have to add that i´m searching since years for pictures or a drawing or any other info and found nothing , if anybody has more and better info please contact me

any help is welcome 

this is how it looks in the cockpit with a dark blue glas

that is what i found on ebay.com including the negative i made from the original

that is what i have about the indicator in the F-4G flight manual

and that is what i could made in 3ds max

F-4G about 1989 with a new cockpit

Hi ravenclaw

Do you have an AN/ALE32 chaff dispenser?

Cheers

Snapper21

No , i do have very few pictures of that pod and no Dimensions of it , and with out the dimensions and better pictures i´m not able to make one

GPU-2A update , i still have to add some more details

unfortunately i dont have a good picture from the right side of the gun pod  so i cant guaranty that my interpretation oft the right side would be correct

not yet , it is on my to do list a very long to do list

i have all ready split  this weaponspack in to 2 parts one for the rocket pods and rockets and the main part for everything else , and still is the main part so big that i have to split it in to 4 parts so that i can uploadet because of the upload limitations

i´m all redy considering  to upload this pack as it is and  start with a new weaponspack 4

any news ?

 

yap , the skin for the GPU-2A is almost done , still a problem are the many rivets i have to add i will have a lot of problems if i add them to the texture especially at the conical front part , if i add the rivets as 3d parts it will be a lot and increase the lod size quite a bit

so still some problems to be solved 

F-4E with AN/ARN-101 from the 3rd TFS / 3rd TFW based at Clark AFB , armed with 2 GBU-15 and AN/AXQ-14 data link pod

Alaskan Air Command F-4E , 18th TFS and 43rd TFS

dam..... i´m so stupid , after fixing the joystick ( soldering the broken wire ) you have to reassign the button and switches and everything works  , now i have to warthog joysticks a new one from Austria for 237 euro and a repaired one  

i found the problem , in the warthog stick base i found a brocken wire ; looks like somebody cut it , so i soldered the wire and put a shrink tubing above the soldering 

the computer is recognizing the joystick and all buttons and switches are working on the game controller settings , but if i start the game not only the joystick is not working also the rudder and the throttle is no longer working after removing the joystick rudder and throttle is working again

what i´m missing  

thanks to all and yes it is my joystick , the computer is not even recognizing it anymore

my problem is now that i need a new HOTAS Warthog and in the moment i dont have the money for it , so all my projects are stopping right now until i have figured out how to use my key bord again

this evening  i was trying  a F-4G  with a new cockpit , after take off i notice that someone ( not me )  is dropping my chaff and flares and is firing my AIM-9 , over the target area all weapons from the wing pylons are gone only the AIM-7 on the fuselage stations are remaining , as soon as some enemy aircraft appear my aircraft is firing the AIM-7 on there own 

i´m trying to figure out what is causing this and fly some more missions , after about 40 minutes i cant select any weapons anymore also the air brakes are no more working , i reboot my computer and start SF2 again select my F-4G and now the aircraft is exploding on the runway , so i used an A-4 Skyhawk , just to see if the problems is only with my F-4E/G ,  the game starts and the A-4 is firing the guns until the ammo is gone  and as soon as i try to take off the aircraft explodes

any idea what the hell is going on with my game ??? 

the new F-4E model is coming hopefully before the year ends , F-4E up to F-4E_78 are done including the respective cockpits

always good to look at the pictures , just notice a small problem on the walkway outline on the front  / air intake ( is fixed already )

hi , the light is on the wrong position , you need the node name of the object the light is linked to and than it is possible to move it , but in this case i think you can only solve it with the original max file and 3ds max

or you wait until my cockpits are done 

just found the answer by going true the T.O. 1F-4E-2-30 , there is right on top a list of changes made to the F-4E

and i found something else that i was searching for , what year did the IP-1310 azimuth indicator appear in the F-4E cockpit , it is 1983 and not 1978 as it is with the TW cockpits

i will change now my cockpits and the IP-1310 will appear in my cockpits with the F-4E_85_ANG 

my F-4E_70 cockpit has now his ejection seat , still early and some items are still missing
