Hey guys, do we have an Inert/ dummy AIM-7 as carried by the RAF Phantoms anywhere? Blue with no fins.

F-4K Phantoms from the HMS Royal Ark over the Falkland Islands in 1982 during Operation Corporate.

1, Download and install the Mirage Factory F-4E(s) Shablol Updated for SF2 1.0: http://combatace.com/files/file/13473-mirage-factory-f-4es-shablol-updated-for-sf2/ 2, Go into your mods folder, navigate to the aircraft folder and rename the F-4E(s) Shablol's main folder 'F-4E(S)' to 'RF-4X' 3, Download and unpack the 7z file attached to this post: objects.7z 4, Copy and paste the 'Aircraft' and 'Pilots' folder into the 'objects' folder in your mods folder, IMPORTANT: make SURE you merge and overwrite the files when you do.

Cant forget the IDF.... and a few color/ serial number changes for the RAAF...

F-22? FMS export variant... https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/42318/f-22-export-briefing-shows-what-it-would-have-taken-to-sell-the-raptor-abroad

Agreed, it was a good watch

How embarrassing! sorry mate I simply couldn't see the tree from the forest! Not sure how I missed it but I did! Thanks for finding it for me anyway!

THANK YOU! Found it with your CATExtractor search feature. They are in Cat001 of all places

Tried that to no avail.....

I know and I have tried!!! I searched every cat with the cat extractor and they are not there???

It has the A-4B cockpit.ini file and aircraft skin textures but not the cockpit textures or cockpit instrument textures etc. Which is weird as they are all there for the A-4C and E etc

As the title says I can not for the life of me find the A-4B cockpit textures in any of the objectdata cat folders...???? Anyone know where they are?

Some of my fallow 'what if' moders out there might find this useful... It was was just sitting on my PC.

This has been done for all aircraft in the ODS 30 mod that carried an external ECM pod. So that makes an easy starting point

Trial was in 1971 with the Thomson (Ferranti) C.S.F. R22 Gyro Gunsight. Picture, PDF and info here: https://www.f-16.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=53537&start=45 My own SF2 version here: A-4G_71_Trial.7z

What aircraft/ gunsight are you doing? Not the experimental Australian Navy A-4G air-to-air sight (by Ferranti) by any chance?

You could use a keyboard letter assigned to the separate 'guns or rockets selected function' eg the + key. The location is defined by co-ordinates like the location of the airspeed number etc. I did something similar for the GR.3 revisionary sight for the Falklands campaign. The sight was basically a big lowercase 't' with the horizontal line changing position depending on guns, bombs or rockets being selected. For this I had a vertical line that came up in air to ground mode and the horizontal lines are made up of multiple underscore lines together: ____ called up by the bomb/guns/rockets selected text with the position moved by the diffrent coordinates for each type of weapon.

"Bump" Does anyone have a PR.9 nearly ready for release or needs finishing (I'm offering )?

My understanding is they do but only ever utilize the fuselage check stations. It's thier self defence option but the ability/ clearance to carry AIM-120 is the same as the E/F. Put it this way; the RAAF haven't done any additional clearance programs for AIM-120 carriage like with the AIM-9 or ATFLIR so it must be an original off the shelf capability. Just one the USN don't utilize which makes sense as they have the resources to provide Growlers with in depth protection where as the RAAF require the Growlers to self escort in some situations with thier more limited fighter fleets. So we see this capability exercised more often and enhanced with the AIM-9X.

I believe all Growlers including USN have full AIM-120 capability and carriage.

RAAF Growler weapon carriage is identical to USN Gowlers except the RAAF had Boeing/ US Navy qualify the AIM-9X for the outer most wing stations at the ATFLIR pod on the left fuselage check station. https://adbr.com.au/first-raaf-growler-rolls-out-fitted-with-aim-9x-and-atflir/

Do you have a pre 1979 manual that references the dispensers but not the cockpit control panels for them? Of not then surly this is just a situation of the flight manual being behind the changes? And if you do are the cockpit changes possible a (classified?) supplement to the manual that you simply haven't seen? Hard to imagine the dispensers being present without any cockpit controls...

I think this is the likely explanation given my own experience deving into TO manuals and TO changes
