here are the ACMI Pods i have ACMI Pods.rar and this are all the CATM missiles i have , CATM-9L , CATM-9M , CATM-9M with no rear wings CATM.7z

always good to check the picture you upload , i know that the F-4EJ does not have A/G capabilities and yet i overlooked the AGM Control Handle on the left side panel , i made a quick check with the real F-4EJ cockpit pictures and than i had to make a change on my cockpit model Sorry here is the correct left side panel part , just in case somebody notice it

JASDF F-4EJ_85 with the EJ cockpit from 1984 / 1985 , some screens displays and panels may be not like the original , i could not find any picture showing the RWR Display with the display on or the layout for it , same go´s for all the digital displays , iw ill change them to the original if i ever will get the requiriert info´s , the Threat warning panel is not working because i can not find any info on how it works and what it may show i still have to make some fine tuning on the ini´s but for now it is working for the F-4EJ cockpit from 1971 / 1972 and for the EJ KAI cockpit i will have even greater problems to get them done , not sure if that will ever happen

does anybody have some information of this Threat Display Panel from a JASDF F-4EJ , i found almost all of the instrument / panels information to built that JASDF F-4EJ_84 cockpit the only item that i have no clue what it actually shows is this panel so PLEASE if you have some info or pictures showing that panel with all lights on posted here or send it to me , THANK YOU threat display panel from the rear cockpit

F-4E cockpit 1984 with out DMAS , for F-4E aircraft from 1984 onward with pave spike the F-4E 1984 DMAS version will take a bit more time because there are instruments where i can not find any pictures for it , so all i have for them is the drawing in the flight manual the shoot light color is a mystery to me so i selected a pale orange color because a white light at night would be a no go

F-4E_75 cockpit , no AN/ALE-40 , but KY-28 panel i removed the AN/ALE-40 chaff flare dispenser from the 3d model

F-4E_78 cockpit with pave spike LOS ( line of sight ) indicator and SRI (slant range indicator)

of topic just found this picture showing F-4E´s from the 50th TFW at Shiraz Air Base (Iran) during exercise Cento, 1August 1977 , how time can change , and note there are no AN/ALE-40 on this aircrafts

i was checking pictures of F-4E´s from 1976 , 1977 and 1978 the first pictures of an F-4E with AN/ALE-40 that i found is dated june 1978 , the picture is from the TAM 1978 at RAF Wildenrath note: 68-0507 and 68-0532 with AN/ALE-40 , 68-0529 with out AN/ALE-40 maybe somebody can find some pictures from 1975 , 1976 , 1977 that shows a F-4E with AN/ALE-40 dispenser , i could not find any so far

this are my finds to in the same manual is the " typical " cockpit before the TO changes with out the chaff / flare panels , and that was the reason i ask the question about the AN/ALQ-40 because there are info´s in the net that the first dispenser was mounted in 1974 /1975 so maybe i make 2 cockpits for the 1975 F-4E one with and one with out this panels

it is not only swapping the dispenser from one aircraft to an other , in real life you have to add the wiring to an aircraft including the control panels in the cockpit and that is not something you do on the flight line since i´m building the cockpits for the F-4E i like to know if i add the AN/ALE-40 control panel to the 1975 cockpit or not , based on the flight manuals it is a no , if now somebody has first hand knowledge and tells me that this control panels where installed ( if only on some aircraft ) i can add the panel to the cockpit

good idea

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´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 ???

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 ?

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

only with good pictures , i can not find close or detail pictures of a ASPIDE missile

i´m not 100% sure but i think you have to use the actual animation slot number and you can not change it by replacing it with an other number , AnimationID=1 you have to change it to the real animation slot of the 3d model there is a way in the cockpit.ini where you can link an animation from the cockpit to the animation of the aircraft model like in the case below for the canopy , the aircraft animation for the canopy is on slot 3 in the cockpit it is on slot 1 [Canopy] Type=EXTERNAL_ANIMATION_LINK NodeName=CanopyFrame01 MovementType=ANIMATION AnimationID=1 ItemNumber=3 if you can do something similar in the data.ini i dont know

do you have the 3ds max file

did you add GunnerCanopy or Canopy2 to the to the data.ini fuselage entry , SystemName[xxx]=GunnerCanopy or Canopy2

link the animation to the landing gear , or in 3ds max move the animation slots to the slot for the landing gear

aahhh ok Thank You

thanks for that link that helped me with an other problem but in the post you mentioned Guru had a grey screen , how did he get it ???

i got the info that the F-4E had a CCT TV with a black gray tv screen and not the black green one we use in SF2 , adding a GreyTvFilter did not do the trick i have now a colored TV screen i need some help here , can somebody tell me how to get the tv screen monochrome ( black gray ) , any help is welcome
