    As stated in my post.

    BE KIND - this aircraft was released in 2004 -

    there was no shadow made, nor was the model checked/fixed to make one (back then one had to make another lod)

     

    And the Slimers were the hottest thing going back in '04!!!!!!

     

    The Slimers are part of the LOD and self illiminating - one SHOULD be able to bind the to a landing light so they will shut off with the gear up.

     

    Speaking of which - do any of the new patches/SF2 allow the AI not to have the formation lights on?? IIRC last time I was flying the Oct2008b patch - some of the other flights had lights on...

    thought this was addressed in the past somewheres...

    The F-4S Late is model wise an F-4J with the E slatted wing and ECM bumps. (model started as the TW F-4E)

    The F-4S Early (from C5 site) is the J model with the ECM bumps painted on. (which was made first as an S)

     

    Since wwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy back when the S was released - things have been added:

     

    new wheels and gear

    cockpit mirrors

    refuel probe

    wing fold and hinges

    RAT

    numerous other UV map improvements (corrected by Sundowner)

     

    Ant, btw we might need some updated Ferris Schemes!!!

    I think the tga required is the stock SF, WoV, WoE canopy glass tga.

    Does the aricraft have an F-4S.out file (or simular name?)? Check there for the name of the .tga the canopy uses.

    I do not have SF2 yet and do not have access to my machine atm. I can look when I am off shift.

    Please be kind - that aircraft was released a long time ago....

    Does anyone think it should be upgraded to Oct2008b patch and then SF2?

    OR should this aircraft be upgraded?

    IIRC (my resources are being shipped to Germany ATM) he flew 300 as in the YAP mission. I did research, using several sources for which aircraft were still active at the time of his mission - but the YAP mission set used the Oriskany on several mission so I varied the BuNos for the aircraft on deck.

    I did make a list and was 80% accurate for aircraft that were not confirmed lost or destroyed for this timeframe (Oct '67) but that data is on my other computer.

    Also, I think the Osprey A-4 units book has some data.

    Growing up in ND, I used to see Erectors every day, along with PKs and maintence trucks from GFAFB.

     

    Remember, prior to us loosing the -52, Bone and Minuteman XXXs - ND was third most powerfull 'country' in world (if we could have seceded) ....

     

    and as stated - Minot does not need anymore publicity.... jeeze bad enough spending a winter there!!!

    Sorry, Kevin.

     

    This model IS in fact a MF product.

     

    I was involved in the model work for the late model F4Us - not so much with the -5/5NL.

     

    Sundowner was painting them also.

     

    The MF has the late model Corsairs (-4/4B/5/5NL/7 and AU-1) in development - as you have shown here -

     

    BPAo has asked that they not be released in the current state - AND the models will get a full update and be finished in the future.

     

    So watch for these and more MF projects in the future.

     

    v/r

    I see the thread was locked.

     

    sooner or later the lad will deploy - maybe not into a combat zone persay - ie getting shot at - but still deployed.

     

    fewer then let's say 'bout 25% deployed in either operation are going 'into harms way' or outside the wire.

     

    a mortar round could hit the hooch while in the shower... or you could be run over by a truck while changing a tire on the side of the road.

     

    'harms way' needs to be defined.

     

    Hell, you make buku money deployed... duh.
