most of you know that Sophocles is working on a new F-5A / RF-5A with a high detail cockpit and i work on the F-4G also with a new high detail cockpit , Sophocles is able to get the lod size to about 3,84 MB and lower , i have try to do the same but i dont get lower than 6,73 MB for the lod of the single piece winshield version an up to a max of 7,10 MB for the lod the F-4G_78 versions , the F-4G_85 cockpit has a lod sice of 6,83 MB and the F-4G_89 cockpit a lod sice of 6,84 MB as you can see that this lod sices are way above of cockpits we have right now in game , on the Buccaneer i had between 2,93 MB and 3,0 MB and on the F-16C i got the lod sice between 3,0 MB and 3,30 MB so nothing close to the 7,1 MB i have currently on the F-4G_78 cockpit , the problem is now that i found out that this new F-G aircraft with this large cockpits have problems on a specific terrain , the Anatolia terrain , i have 3 versions of this Anatolia terrain a version 0 that is a BETA file i got to test it than a version 1 this was the first released version and the version 2 that is the final version , on the final version i dont have to try my luck because even my F-4E model with TW cockpit is not flying there the only terrain version i can get my F-4G to fly is the version 0 i try to find out what exactly is the problem with this particular terrain an i notice that if the airfield you start on is near to a large city you dont even have to try your luck on terrain version 1 and 2 , i notice in air if i fly over mountain with tree´s up to the horizon i have no problem as soon as i get near to a city my FPS drops down up to 14 FPS if im over the city , so i think the problem is the tod files used for this citys , now i have the heavily moded Germany CE terrain from Rends i try my luck there but with not so high expetations knowing the result from my Anatolia terrains but i got surprised all my F-4G work on this terrain with out any problems now i have to make a desission and for this i need the help of the pilots who maby will fly my F-4G later on , all cockpits are done now but they dont have a ejection seat , my fear is if i add this seat model to the cockpit that this F-4G will no longer fly in a modded terrain , if i dont add the seat some people may ask me why i dont put a seat in that cockpit , i know that Sophocles is adding now different ejection Seats to his cockpits but Sophocles does not have my lod size problems an other think is that i was ask already if i make new cockpits for all other F-4´s out of this existing new ones , problem here is the same as with the seat the lod size my come up over 7,1 MB on some F-4E version i think Sophocles is with his beautiful new cockpits on a safe side , i´m not so sure with my F-4G cockpits , this is the problem if you try to get the cockpits as realistic as possible some info on the new F-4G cockpit compared to the F-4G_78 cockpit , F-4E_78 has 100 entrys for gauges , funktions and lights the F-4G cockpits have up to 226 entrys so let me know what you think about a possible ejection seat and the Anatolia terrain problem

first test flight of the F-4G_87_SPW (single piece windshild ) , there are 4 F-4G who were flying with that single pice windshild this are the 69-065 / 69-0273 / 69-0298 and 69-7263 , i made new aircraft and cockpit model for this 4 aircrafts

here are the LAU-118 , i made 2 folders one for the white and one for the hill-grey one , includet are the templates , lod´s and max files this is not a high poly model LAU-118.7z hope that this is what you are looking for

just give me a few days , i have to make a template for it

ok , what color

problem would be how to bring it in to game , because the game dont has a single ARM launchrail option one way would be as 2AR (ARM) but for that i would need the exact pylon to pylon distance from the aircraft you like to use them on

i made one , but tey are part of the aircraft model if you need them as seperate launchrail i could make them for you

here at the Download Section from Combat ACE as soon as i´m finish with the whole F-4G project , i work as fast as i can mandatory screenshot

Wild Weasel´s from the Clark AB

F-4G from the Idaho ANG with the new F-4G_85 cockpit

F-4G_78 Cockpit , all Radar mods are working now including the Switches for it , and some missing items are now installed at the rear of the Cockpit

Thanks , so i go with the russian dimesions

Thanks for the Info , i still have one question about the dimensions of this R23 missiles in russian net sides the dimensions are R-23R length 4,46 m R-23T length 4,16 m Diameter 200 mm for both missiles in the western media the dimensions are R-23R length 4,5 m R-23T length 4,2 m Diameter 223 mm for both missiles especially the diameter is confusing me a bit , for the length i go with the russians anybody who knows the exact Diameter ???? or is the diameter 200 mm for the Missile Body without the cable trays and the diameter 223 mm with cable trays ????

F-4G from the 561st TFS make a visit to GAF Pferdsfeld AB

Thanks that would be great

all the pictures of R-23 training missiles show them to even the one you posted from the LSK

nope check the Picture above that i just posted , somethin is on this fins maybe mounting holes or sensor´s

@ Gepard , why do some R-23 Missiles and the Training missiles have this small fins direct in front of the main wing and other R-23 Missiles dont have them ????

found this one of a R-23 training Missile , Radar and IR

Thanks for that Info Gepard i have this detail pictures from a R-23 , does anybody have some more and better detail picture of that Missile

for the Moment yes except somebody wants an other Training missile , the UZR-60 and the R-3U are done and the R-23 will be next ( in my spare time ) by the way what is the full designation for the R-23 Training missile ??? here is the R-3U , have fun R-3U.7z MiG 21 with R-3U

tha is something i would like to ask , i have many Pictures from static Displays with this missiles and the 3 or 4 black stripes but i assume that this are training missiles for ground Crews or simply for Display but NOT for flying , i think the actual training missiles for the aircraft did not have the wings

Thanks for that info , the R-3U was easy to make i took my AA-2 and made the necessary changes

i dont mine if people ask for a mod , but everybody could help me by getting me the info / pictures i need to make this mods , please keep in mind that i´m very busy right now with other mods and the real life
