Cheers mate, must just just be part of the fuselage.

Cheers, hope you get better soon!

Hi Wrench, Do you know the node name of the UHF/VHF antenna behind the cockpit on the A-4C.lod that sticks out a tiny bit above the addon hump so we can remove it? Cheers, Dan.

Thanks mate that did the trick

Hi guys, I’m after the name of these antenna nodes on both the A-4H Ahit (73) and A-4E Ahit (73) for an IAF Ahit realism/ enhancement pack I want to do. I have tried all the obvious node names etc. Cheers, Dan.

¿Alguien sabe cómo comunicarse con alejandro? http://combatace.com/user/28285-alejandro/ Gracias, Dan. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone know how to contact alejandro? http://combatace.com/user/28285-alejandro/ Thanks, Dan.

Thanks Florian, 'RWRBox' worked perfectly as you can see. Do you also know the node/mesh name for the RWR button panel?

Anyone know the node name of the RWR screen and unit in the F-4E cockpit? I want to make it dissapear. Cheers, Dan.

Any idea or even a guess at what the cost was per aircraft to reto-fit the slats?

Do you guys know why Japan never modified their Phantoms with leading edge slats like most other E model Phantom operators?

Thanks wrench

Anyone know if you can get decals to show up on TW A-4 fuel tanks?

Your F-4 Phantoms are outstanding! Any chance of some skin templates please?

A major update to this is in the works and it does include a Nato fighters V campaign using either the DLC A-4K, my A-4G RNZAF mod or my A-4K Kahu. The updated A-4K Kahu uses the DLC A-4G as a base which works much better than the A-4E.

Does this take up much computing power?

Nice work!

I had this issue when using certain add on aircraft I had given too long a name. ie the name of the aircraft was to many characters. I had to shorten the name.

A lot of technical details at the time were kept under wraps due to the level of American military technology and hardware involved. Even as time has gone by lot information on the true capabilities of the Kahu upgraded A-4K has remained closely guarded by the RNZAF not only for the above reason but also the obvious tactical advantage to the RNZAF by keeping those details secret. That has continued today with the US State Department even restricting how close the public were allowed to view the aircraft when Draken displayed them this year. The RNZAF to this day refuses to declassify the post Kahu upgraded A-4K Pilots Manual citing security restrictions still imposed by the US State Department. A lot of the Kiwi ex A-4K pilots and technicians I have talked to over the years have implied that there is more to the Project Kahu upgrade in terms of capability that has or will ever be made public.

With regards to the performance and range of the AN/APG-66NZ radar in the project Kahu upgraded A-4K Skyhawks: Yes the radar dish/ antenna had to be made smaller to fit in the A-4 nose cone and normally that would result in a decrease in performance. HOWEVER the very cleaver people at Westinghouse (now Northrop Grumman) came up with a software modification/ upgrade specifically for the AN/APG-66NZ that prevented any decrease in range or performance due to the smaller antenna. The same software modification was also required to solve a few issues created by the length of wiring between radar components due to some of the radar components being located away from the nose in the fuselage avionics bay. Again this was due to the limited space in the nose. This information comes first hand from an ex RNZAF avionics specialist who I asked a bunch of questions when I did my A-4K Kahu mod for SF2. He spent his career in the RNZAF working on the radar and avionics systems of the post project Kahu A-4K. He has also recently co-authored a book on the A-4K in New Zealand service.

Great work!

Nice work!

Awesome work guys I for one appreciate every once of effort you put into this site and community!

Yes I armed the Royal Navy F-4K Phantom with Skyflash missiles as RAF Phantoms were using them in 1982 and I updated the Royal Navy F-4K Phantoms to the same standard as the RAF Phantoms were in 1982
