i have a question regarding the Chaff/Flare dispenser used by the USN /USMC on the F-4 Phantom , it seams that the early F-4B did not have them , if so what year did this dispenser show up and on wich F-4 models was it used ??? i have pictures from F-4J / N /S with this dispenser , not so sure about the F-4B and i think the RF-4B / C used them to

the problem was not so much the wiring the missiles are conneced with a quick releas connector to the launchrail , the launchrail in the beginnig was the AERO-3B and was used for the AIM-9B only all other AIM-9 including the AIM-9B used from ca.1966 onward the LAU-7A the wiring on the aircraft side was not so much a big deal some aircraft like the F-86 did get to a later point the AIM-9 capability other aircrafts like F-104G and F-4B or F-1 had from the beginning the capability some AIM-9 like the AIM-9C was only used on the F-8 others like the AIM-9D/G/H are only used by the U.S. Navy ( some are exported ) the AIM-9E/J/L/M/N/P are used mainly by the USAF and the NATO partners and Israel , but theoreticaly can a USAF jet launch the Navy AIM-9 and vice versa

don't worry that will be changed later , is just a matter of seconds

working on the tail getting the panel lines right , rivets are next

that is waht i was looking for thank you

i´m working on a new F-4B model for SF2 and need a bit help 1. based on the tactical manual from September 1972 for the F-4B was the AERO-3B launchrail used on early F-4B versions , antil when was this Aero-3B / AIM-9B used in the Navy ??? i assume that with the AIM-9D service start ( about 1966 ) the LAU-7A launchrail was used also for the AIM-9B 2. the F-4B was able to carry 1 AIM-7 on the inner wing pylon , did that continou for all Navy versions of the F-4 , i have pictures showing the AIM-7 on inner wing pylon on F-4N dont know with later versions 3. is there a way to limit the drag chute to be used on land based airfields only , i now that we have some entrys so the chute can only be dployed with a certain air speed dont know if there is a way for land based airfields to if anybody knows some answers please let me know

its funy , i dont have that on my R.550 Magic 2 , maybe you got an early version but i cant remeber to have that problem on any of my Magic 2 versions can you please try this one and let me know if the problem is still there Matra550-2.7z

i will check that

i have material ( fligth manuals ) for many different F-4 Cockpits , some are in work already F-4B cockpits , early and late F-4C cockpits , early F-4D cockpits , early F-4E cockpits , early , mid and late F-4F cockpits , early and late F-4G cockpits , early , mid and late , and single windscreen F-4J cockpits , early and late F-4N cockpits , early and late still searching more F-4 Phantom flight manuals

that picture is great , Thanks i may start making all F-4 Cockpits based on my F-4G cockpit , but you may have to wait a long time until they are done

in the original TW cockpit are no tga objects assigned to this lights , so sorry but no

the AERO-3B is the one on the Danish F-104G , dont know what type or manufacturer the Japanese launcher is by the way the italian and the japanese have different mountings but the same launch rail AERO-3B launcher

here an other picture of that pylon with AIM-9B launch rails mounted here are the AIM-9 fuselage launch rail of an Danish F-104G here are the AIM-9 fuselage launch rails of an Japanese F-104J

here is a picture from a turkey F-104S showing the pylon in question

Thanks , i will give it a try

the hierarchy looks ok but i have somebody who is checking it again , the change in the material maps happen automatically when i delete the not needed parts

Thanks , i changed the names but still no show of LOD2

yap but i cant find any error

here is the AN/ALQ-184 3 Band pod with both lod´s and all the ini´s ALQ-184_3Band.7z

where can i change that ??? the only detail setting i know of is the object detail and there i´m on high

i changed the name to a shorter one , still not showing up what puzzels me a bit is that LOD1 is using the distance setting from LOD2 and if i add a LOD3 he is taking that distance setting as well

i only removed the details from LOD2 everything else is as in LOD1 , cant find any problem there , and i have this problem with other weapons as well [WeaponData] ObjectFullName=AN/ALQ-184 3-Band ECM Pod ObjectDataFile=ALQ-184_3Band_data.INI [LOD001] Filename=ALQ-184_3Band.lod Distance=3 [LOD002] Filename=ALQ-184_3Band_LOD2.LOD Distance=10 [Shadow] CastShadow=TRUE ShadowCastDist=10000 MaxVisibleDistance=100

i´m trying to get the distance lods i made for some of my weapons to work but what ever i try the only lod that gets displayed is the LOD1 all other lods are ignored , although every distance change i made on the LOD2 entry is regognized and the LOD1 is displayed on the respective distance i enter for LOD2 i check if the LOD2 is displayed at all by removing the the LOD1 and changing the entry , and yes it is displayed but as soon as LOD1 is back the LOD2 will not be displayed anymore anybody with a good idea what is wrong here , or do distance lod´s only work for aircrafts ????

looks like in december 03 the HOTAS Warthog will be available againe including the throttle for about 450 Euro´s , at least here in germany https://www.voelkner.de/products/196213/Thrustmaster-Hotas-Warthog-Flugsimulator-Joystick-USB-PC-Schwarz.html?ref=51&offer=fe8757d3d1b7bd4dc7a4f56065faa0b3&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqZfapsjD7AIVj7h3Ch2qmgo_EAQYASABEgI9n_D_BwE

some more detail pictures of the R-13M that i made at the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung Koblenz , check the last picture that missile has russian and english warnings on the wings and instead of a nozzle there is a cast ring with holes , maybe Gepard knowse what this part is for , on life missiles this part is not present also interesting is the holding mechanism for the front wings on the launch rail
