IT IS DONE all 3 F-4F cockpits are finish still need to make some minor adjustments and a lot of testing before i can release it new IFF Control Panel , i´m sure that there are some more lights to be illuminated based on status or function when that panel is swicht on but i cant find any info or picture showing it aaahhh..... and yes the switches are really that black

the Front panel for the ICE is done , just finish the new Radio Altimeter now i still have to make the new IFF Panel if everything is done i may need some teast pilots

this part of the ICE cockpit is done , still have to make the new Radar Altimeter and the IFF Control Panel

just added an other small item to the Peace Rhine cockpit , they had not only the PULL UP light they also had the ALT WRN light ALT WRN comes on at 500 Ft , PULL UP at 300 Ft , dont have any idea what the real settings are

dont you worry , i got what i need to finish the ICE cockpit new Radar Altimeter i have to make new IFF Control Panel and the new RWR Control Panel , i´m afraid there is not much that i can bring to life here , below the RWR Control Panel you can see the Digital Fuel Quantity Inticator and left of that is a small recangle light that would be the VOR light i have to add , the rest will be like on the Peace Rhine cockpit aaahhh yap the RWR display is a special case , all pictures i have show the old V36 RWR display even in the ICE , but now i found this 2 pictures showing the IP1310 RWR display so i will add this one to my ICE cockpit i just wonder when did the Luftwaffe change to the more modern RWR display version , gues we will never know rear ICE cockpit with the V36 RWR display this are the only 2 pictures i found showing the IP1310 RWR display in the front and rear cockpit

with the Peace Rhine upgrade the F-4F got a special feature regarding the use of the AIM-9 Sidewinder , the pilot could chose between the SEAM (Sidewinder Extended Acquisition Mode) or SLAVE mode the SEAM (Sidewinder Extended Acquisition Mode) is a target acquisition mode for the AIM-9 Sidewinder missile that allows the seeker head to scan a larger area (often a grid pattern) instead of targeting a single point. This enables the missile to locate and acquire targets with a heat source (aircraft), even if they are not directly in the nose. This increases the probability of a hit by allowing radar or helmet sights to pre-initialize the missile or for it to search for targets independently the "Sidewinder Slave Mode" usually refers to the AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile, where a radar or helmet-mounted display acquires (locks) the target, and the missile is then guided to that radar track to "slave" the seeker—a form of radar-assisted target acquisition before the missile's infrared seeker takes over or the missile fires to track the target, often in conjunction with the helmet-mounted display (HMD). There is also an interpretation as a vehicle function (Sidewinder Mode) with all-wheel steering for diagonal driving, but the context strongly suggests the missile. to get the SEAM and Slave lights working and "simulate" the functions i use the SEAM light duringradar search operation , you will get the typicall sidewinder growl sound and the Shoot light will show you if you are in range to fire the missile you will not get the yellow lock on in the HUD , for the SLAVE light i use the Radar Boresight this way you get the Lock on in the HUD the sidewinder growl sound and in the radar scope the VC display for now the SEAM and SLAVE mode will only work with the AIM-9L , i dont think that the AIM-9B would support this function SEAM mode SLAVE mode if anybody has abetter idea how to simmulate this functions please let me know

this are pictures from the NBC Protection assembly and a NBC filter used by the Luftwaffe , dont know if that is the " NBC Protection Blower " in the top picture i found an error , sombody used the NBC Protection Battery label instead of the NBC Protection BLower one , the picture below is from a F_4F at the JG74 airbase at Neuburg/Donau and shows the correct labeling

i´m working since quite some time on the F-4F cockpits , my biggest problem is that i dont get any flight manual for the Peace Rhine and ICE versions , now i got some pictures from a F-4F Peace Rhine cockpit and was able to almost finish it i still have to do some animations and small items that are missing so i have now the early F-4F cockpit ( from 1973 onward ) and the F-4F Peace Rhine cockpit ( from 1985 onward ) next will be the ICE cockpit the ICE cockpit has a more advanced IFF control panel and a digital fuel quantity indicator and the 4 fuselage weaponstations for the AIM-120 , so still a lot of work F-4F cockpit 1973 the F-4F Peace Rhine is a big upgrade compare to the early F-4F cockpit , it has the DSCG radar with CCIP , the Shoot Lights and a more modern UHF control panel and the Weapons Panel that is used on the F-4E , one thing i only found on the Peace Rhine and the ICE version is the NBC Protection Blower no other F-4 version has that , so the german pilots hat some protection / filter system in case of a nuclear contamination F-4F Peace Rhine cockpit

nope , not yet , i´m still looking for good ( high quality ) pictures of the BRP and BRPS drag chute release mechanisem , with the pictures i have it is more a guessing game thats why i stoped working on the Expal bombs for now if anybody has some good pictures please send them to me , Thanks this are the best pictures i got so far from the rear of this BRP / BRPS bombs

in only 6 weeks the German Marineflieger got there second P-8A Poseidon , the first one arrived at November 7 the second yesterday , the Marineflieger also got the Mk-54 LWT ( Light Weight Torpedo ) for use with the P-8A the Marineflieger will get 8 x P-8A Poseidon last one to be delivered in 2029 all aircraft will be stationed at Nordholz AB / Marinefliegergeschwader-3 "Graf Zeppelin"

the first Global 6000 PEGASUS ("Persistent German Airborne Surveillance System") for the Luftwaffe arrived at Hamburg , Lufthansa Technic Defense and Hensoldt will now install all the military and electronic equipment Germany ordered 3 PEGASUS but there are already talks about some more aircraft , so let´s wait and see , the aircraft´s will be stationed at the Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 51 „Immelmann“

by the way if you need the Mk25 Practice Bomb Dispensers for the GAF F-104G or the other NATO F-104G i got them ready Top Mk25 used by the GAF , Bottom Mk25-2 used by the GAF BDU-33 , Mk76 and DM18 practice bombs used by the GAF and NATO

just checked my Mk25-2 material but they just mention the " INSPECTION HOLE "

could be " INSPECTION RECLOSION LOCK " and " INSERT SAFTEY PIN HERE " and above it is " MANUAL RELEASE " , but i could be totaly wrong about it
