I have noticed the same thing. I was in a knife fight with a MiG-29, flying an F-4D_78. Bugged out and took the fight over a friendly airfield so the ground AAA could help me out (playing NF4+). The MiG took ground fire that knocked out its left engine and some control damage, but it still attempted to then climb vertically, which it did until it would stall, regain speed, and try again. It did this in a loop all the way to 56,000FT. Pretty surprised it could do it on one engine (or at least only one afterburner functioning). -
anybody else having this?

I have seen the same thing on my setup before I added any mods. -
Converting F-4 radar scope to DSCG style

Concur, it did clean it up a bit, almost too clean for the design. -

**EDIT** Figured out the radar background, just had to delete the .tga files for the radar/ECM and they reverted to stock. -
Converting F-4 radar scope to DSCG style

dtmdragon, Nice work. Other than your noted issue with the roll tabs, here are some observations I saw. -Radar range gate parks itself off to the right from the usual upper-middle position while in AA mod. Not a big deal but noticeable. (I can't remember if the original mod did the same or not) -Purely a personal preference, but I like the radar/ECM scopes to not have the 'aged' look, since it often changes between different radar modes and isn't realistic. Is this something that can resolved by simply deleting/removing the .tga files for the radar background and have the sim revert to the factory version, or does it require something different? -
Converting F-4 radar scope to DSCG style

The download has a readme with sourcing information on the scope. The scope itself was used on all F-4E's from the mid 70's on (I forget the Block when they started installing them), not just the Kurnass. I believe the original mod designer made it for WOI because WOI was the first TW product that used the updated avionics70.dll. The best result would be a mod that you could use on any F-4E (US/NATO/Foriegn), with the F-4E(75) and later probably the most likely versions. -

I remember using an excellent mod for WOI that converted the F-4E Kurnass' radar scope to the correct mid-70's+ Digital Scan Converter Group version. Considering the chance of the OEM SF2 F-4's being modified by TK to the correct scope for their time periods are about slim to none, is it possible for this mod to be updated to SF2?

F-105G was 1st Stealth Fighter
nabele68 replied to Fubar512's topic in Military and General Aviation
That's great. Nice to see people had a sense of humor. On a serious note though, I had heard that the F-105 from a head on angle had a very low RCS, and this was a contributing factor to the ideal behind the future Stealth Fighter program. Any confirmation of this? -
F-4F ICE Phantom II for SF2-Europe vers.2.0
nabele68 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Great addition for SF2:E. Definitely the 'hot rod' of the Phantom Phamily. I noticed while flying two things: 1) AIM-120 missile canards are clipping slightly into the F-4's belly. Just affects the inward facing control surfaces. 2) Radar is same as standard F-4E. I believe the ICE models had the same radar as the F/A-18A (APG-65). -
Is F-16 the only modern US jet fighter to have "blocks"?
nabele68 replied to SFP1Ace's topic in Military and General Aviation
The F-4 also had block variants, at least USAF versions. I believe Block 60 was the last F-4E block for the USAF.
