Best wishes and hope you are well soon my friend!

There is a maximum number of decals per node but I'm not sure what it is. Also there is some weird things when it comes to decals. For instance changing the order of the decals in the decal.ini file can make them suddenly appear when they didn't before. On the standard TW F-8 the BU numbers added to the vertical stab show up fine but on the DLC F-8K they suddenly don't but when I moved them to the front of the decal.ini list they did. Go figure

Stunning been waiting on this one since your first F-1!

Yes please mate

That would utterly destroy my FPS!

Peace Gate III/IV embargoed Pakistan F-16A Block 15 OCU with late production WAC HUD. Nearly used by New Zealand, operated by the US Navy and ultimately delivered to Pakistan.

View File F-8K & F-8L Crusader (TW DLC) Third Wire F-8K & F-8L Crusader 1.0 This pack is a TW DLC enhancement. So it's needed to work. Included is the F-8K with data/ avionic/ effect/ sound corrections for accuracy, as well as modification of the Third Wire DLC F-8K Crusader model into the F-8L model Crusader. F-8K - The F-8K is the F-8C airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same underwing pylons as F-8E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat. F-8L - The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat. To install: 1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder. 2, Override when prompted. Credits: - F-8 DATA & LOADOUT v1.0 update by FANATIC MODDER. - SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion v.2.0 Gold by Eburger68 and team. - Weapons by Ravenclaw_007. CombatAce fair use agreement applies.

Thanks for that mate, so in the photo you mention is the empty rails for the Python 3 the 'special underpylon adapter' or the extended ones that replace the AIM-9 rails in the traditional location?

Royal Navy Sea Harriers encountered the same problem in the Falklands.

Ravenclaw was working on the AARGM last year https://combatace.com/forums/topic/85993-weaponspack-3/?do=findComment&comment=801732

I've noticed that to, it locks up my whole PC if I try and open it with the lod viewer but it works fine in the game.

Thanks mate, does it specify D model Sidewinders or could they be G models? My understanding was they used G models by this stage but since they look identical to the D models there can be a lot of confusion. On a different note during research into Kurnass weapons for this time period (1982) I found out the IAF F-15 could only carry the G model at the time and not the L. And if they carried the Python it was on a special dual missile rail carried on the wing stations in place of the drop tanks. You can replicate it in the game with the stock TW 2IR quite easily. It was immediately after the war that they deveoloped the modified extended sidewinder rails to carry Pythons in place of the Sidewinders. Also what book did you find the photo in? Link to podcast episode if your interested. He talkes about planning a strike on Bagdad during Desert Storm with the Kurnass 2000 and Popeye missiles. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1fsWsT2ZfMxTzj2uVIiC4x?si=p9eKyNJ5RhypH1wGcT4KVA

Thanks mate! Does it have the chaff/ flare dispensers in the rear sparrow bays?

Hey guys anyone with any good Israel Kurnass reference books have pictures or knowledge of loadouts during the 1982 Lebanon war? I thought I had it pretty accurate but I was listening to one of the latest fighter pilot podcasts with an IAF F-4E navigator who talked about flying a CAP mission loaded with radar guided AIM-120 (I assume he ment AIM-7), 2x AIM-9 and 2x Shafrir-3 (I'm pretty sure this was the early name for the Python-3). In previous research I had read that once the F-15 had come on line in reasonable numbers pre 1982 the AIM-7 was no longer an option on the Kurnass as the rear sparrow bays were reconfigured to take the expanded chaff/ flare launchers and the front right sparrow bay was reconfigured to take the single Sidewinder/ Python pylon and rail.

That is an awsome 'what if' @ravenclaw_007 what else are you hiding from us?!

That all makes complete sense those are probably early prototypes in some of the photos. I wasn't aware of the change in size to the production model. I hope you did didn't take my post as any form of criticism as I highly respect your work and effort I simply raised it for the benefit of accuracy and in this case I was lacking in information.

Nice work and much appreciated mate. I do wonder if the Shafrir-1 is a bit over sized? It's hard with so little photos but here are a few more that seem to show quite a small missile closer the dimensions of the the stock TW Shafrir-1. Stock TW: Your new model:
