RF-8G (YAP) work in progress VFP-306 'Photomasters'

Someone could add Martin-Baker Mk 7 for me?

The renovated F-8E(FN) was designated F-8P for prolongé (extended life). It was more of an overhaul than a modernization, although some modern equipment was fitted. The entire electrical and hydraulic system was replaced, and the structure was inspected for fatigue and reinforced. A Martin-Baker Mk 7 zero-zero ejection seat replaced the older zero-120 model. The radar and flight control systems were reconditioned. Only the avionics were really modernized. A VOR/ILS system was fitted, as well as an IFF, a GPS, a TACAN, a radar altimeter and a Thompson- CSF Sherloc radar warning receiver. The RWR was fitted in a rectangular fitting on the aircraft's fin, which distinguishes the F-8P from its predecessor. The cockpit layout was also changed and a new inertial navigation system, similar to that of the Mirage F.1, was installed. Despite the overhaul, the “Crouze” (as it was called by the French) was obsolete: it was not adapted to modern warfare environments and maintenance was increasingly difficult and heavy. The Crusader production lines had been stopped a long time ago and the French Navy depended on the Davis-Monthan AFB boneyard in Arizona for spares, when it didn't have to manufacture them itself. That's what I found. Thanks Coupi I'll test the RWR. No ECM on board? It seems not.

The stock DCL one.

View File Vought RF-8A Crusader (*) The RF-8 Crusader was a photo-reconnaissance development and operated longer in U.S. service than any of the fighter versions. RF-8s played a crucial role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, providing essential low-level photographs impossible to acquire by other means. U.S. Naval Reserve units continued to operate the RF-8 until 1987.

Hey Gents, I have an F-8 FN DLC Enhancement pack ready to upload. Inside the pack there is the F-8P too, with new Denis Olveira 3D parts added .... What I'ld need are some data/cockpit/avionics.inis tweakings to portrait this later model, anyone interested ?

Good work. BTW the removed gun by data.ini always shows in early F-104A .... no way to delete it from model and textures too? And a question: had PAF, RJAF & RoCAF F-104A guns ?

+1

could you upload, please? Thanks.

Bellissimo.

Very good! PS: no baltimore_names.ini file inside.

The Yap (mod) RF-A, with a great help from 2 friends, is growing up!

Shokaku full steam in SF-2

Inside C:\Program files\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\DLC folder,

Ciao Simone, sono contento che questo discorso un po' vecchiotto, sia in qualche modo ancora attuale. Devo dire che nel frattempo, vista la svolta android/ios di Tk (a mio parere del tutto indigeribile) e l'endorsment di Dave ed altri, ho provato anche DCS. Pochi aerei, la Georgia (?!?), poco spazio al modding, tante -inutili - complicazioni. E' finita che sono tornato comunque a casa, a SF-2. Ho riscoperto i pregi della stabilità (niente più Patches) del programma e continuo a scoprire ogni giorno le sue potenzialità. Questi ultimi DCLs magari quasi superflui (A-7P, F-21 e F-14A IIAF) mi fanno ancora sperare nonostante tutto nell'exp.3. Vedremo. In ogni caso quello che abbiamo qui non esiste altrove. Compresa la parte navale aggiunta con SF-2NA. Per tacere della vecchia serie che attraverso YAP, Rising Sun o con i pacchi di A-TEAM (Africa, Russia, Spagna ...) continua comunque a stupire. Io penso che se solo Tk avesse curato meglio il marketing di Sf-2 non avrebbe dovuto svalutare il proprio lavoro sui telefoni mobile. Paolo

Could someone has purchased this DLC tell us something about it? A skin seems the older one included in F-14 skin pack DLC, and the other new. Is it the model different from base USN F.14A? And finally worths 6$? Too many questions? Thank You in advance.
