  1. File Name: F-4K Phantom II - VC-724, Royal Australian Navy File Submitter: Sheriff001 File Submitted: 08 April 2013 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Skins This is an additional skin for my F-4K Phantom II - Royal Australian Navy portraying the markings of 724 Squadron. In real life, 724 Squadron (or VC-724) was the RAN Fleet Air Arm's fast jet training squadron. 724 Squadron commissioned in the RAN in 1955 as a fighter training squadron. In real life, it operated various types including the C-47, Sea Vampire, Sea Venom, Macchi MB-326H trainers, and A-4G Skyhawks. From 1972, VC-724 operated only Macchis and Skyhawks. Australia's carrier, HMAS Melbourne was decommissioned in 1982, and VC-724 transferred its Macchis to the RAAF and absorbed VF-805's Skyhawks. The Squadron decommissioned in 1984, with its remaining aircraft being sold to the RNZAF. The Phantom skin provided here contains the "gold delta" tail design used on many of VC-724's Skyhawks. In line with the markings of my operational Phantoms, the decals for the squadron patch (splitter plate), squadron number, and ship name are also provided. Installation ************************TK's F-4K Phantom II DLC is required for this skin************************ Copy the contents of the "Objects" folder into your Objects folder.

    The CF-110M Phantom II for the Royal Canadian Air Force. There are three versions of the F-4M in this mod. TK's F-4M: ADC Grey, SEA, RAF Green/Grey, Olive Drab. TK's F-4M (75): ADC Grey, SEA wrap around, RAF Green/Grey wrap around, Olive Drab, Euro 1. TK's F-4M (80): ADC Grey, SEA wrap around, RAF Green/Grey wrap around, Olive Drab, Euro 1. The following squadrons are provided: 409 Squadron 410 Squadron 416 Squadron 425e Escadre Modified F-4D loadouts are used. It is impossible to use the Sidewinder rails and the inboard pylons simultaneously. This is a built-in limitation of the F-4K and F-4M. Back Story The idea for this aircraft comes from my alternate history site. It was first operated by this alternate Royal Canadian Air Force in 1969 (in this timeline, there was no unification in the Canadian Armed Forces) The RCAF originally did not want the Phantom, being content to stick with the Thunderchief and the Voodoo until the TFX (CF-111C) and FX (CF-15) were ready during the 1970s. Canadian participation in the Vietnam War changed that. Canada committed Voodoos to defend the social democratic North Vietnam from Nazi German forces operating from the South and from Burma. The CF-101's inability to dogfight, and unreliability in the harsh tropical conditions of North Vietnam made early replacement necessary. The only aircraft available was the CF-4K, being introduced to the RCN as its strike fighter. McDonnell and Avro Canada devised a land-based version with minimal changes. This entered service in 1969 and quickly went to Vietnam. After the war ended in 1975, the Phantom replaced the Voodoo entirely in the RCAF.

    This contains three F-4K Phantom IIs in the markings of the Royal Canadian Navy. The real CF2H Banshee squadrons, VF-870 and VF-871 are portrayed. The three time periods of TK's F-4K DLC are represented, original, 75, and 80. For all, a standard US Navy Gull Grey/White skin is provided, and for the F-4K 80, a two-tone grey camouflage is also provided. The latter is similar to the camouflage seen on some US Navy and USMC F-4 Phantoms near the end of their service life. Modified F-4J loadouts are used. Please note carefully: You cannot use the inboard pylons and the AIM-9 rails simultaneously. If you load one, the other will empty. This is not a bug per se, this is simply an inbuilt limitation for the Spey Phantoms. The aircraft has been tested in a merged SF2 installation, patched to August 2012. Backstory The idea for this aircraft comes from my alternate history site. It was first operated by this alternate Royal Canadian Navy in 1968 (in this timeline, there was no unification in the Canadian Armed Forces) The aircraft was meant to serve on Canada's two Essex class carriers, HMCS Bonaventure and HMCS Magnificent in the fleet defence and strike roles. In order to get the performance required for such small carriers, a new turbofan was developed by Orenda, the Orenda Huron. Redesign of the Phantom airframe to accomodate the larger engine was done by Avro Canada. The article for the aircraft itself is found here:: http://themarshall.w...-4K.2FM_Phantom Installation ***********NOTE: TK's F-4K Phantom II from the DLC Store is required for this mod*************** Copy the contents of the Aircraft folder into your Aircraft folder. Copy the contents of the Decals folder into your Decals folder. No new weapons are offered. During the timeframe of this aircraft, the Royal Canadian Navy used standard US Navy non-nuclear weapons.

  6. Even a Phantom Phlyer has to start somewhere:
  7. I don't think there is a McDonnell Phantom for SF2, and there was never a night fighter version.

    This contains three F-4K Phantom IIs in the markings of the Royal Australian Navy. 724, 805, and 808 Squadrons are portrayed. 805 Squadron is portrayed operating from HMAS Melbourne, while 808 Squadron is based on Sydney. 724 Squadron is portrayed as a training squadron operating from HMAS Albatross, a Naval Air Station at Nowra, New South Wales. The three time periods of TK's F-4K DLC are represented, original, 75, and 80. For all, a standard US Navy Gull Grey/White skin is provided, and for the F-4K 80, a two-tone grey camouflage is also provided for 805 and 808 Squadrons. The latter is similar to the camouflage seen on some RAN A-4G Skyhawks near the end of their service life. Modified F-4J loadouts are used. Please note carefully: You cannot use the inboard pylons and the AIM-9 rails simultaneously. If you load one, the other will empty. This is not a bug per se, this is simply an inbuilt limitation for the Spey Phantoms. The aircraft has been tested in a merged SF2 installation, patched to August 2012. I have included paulopanz's F-4K DLC enhamcement. I have included a squadrons.ini. This is not necessary for this mod, but is necessary for the RAAF and RCAF F-4M Phantoms. Incidentally, I'd suggest also getting Wrench's HMAS Australia (SCB-125 "What If") located here: http://combatace.com...cb-125-what-if/ Backstory The RAN proposed the acquisition of Essex class carriers to the Government in 1964 to replace the Majestic class HMAS Melbourne. The aircraft the RAN proposed was the F-4B Phantom. Operating an F-4B from the relatively small deck of an Essex class carrier is problematic, to say the least. On the other hand, the F-4K Phantom modifications would enable the operation of a Phantom from such a small deck. For further on this (including the RAN proposal itself) see the following: - http://www.secretpro...hp?topic=8449.0 For an alternate backstory, see this page on my wikia site: - http://themarshall.w...-4K.2FM_Phantom Installation ***********NOTE: TK's F-4K Phantom II from the DLC Store is required for this mod*************** Copy the contents of the Objects folder into your Objects folder.

  9. Version 2.0

    This mod contains a series of RAAF skins for the F-104G Starfighter. Backstory During the late 1950s, the RAAF considered the question of replacing the CAC Avon-Sabre. From the submissions of most of the West's major manufacturers, a shortlist of two aircraft was put forward. These aircraft were the Dassault Mirage III, and the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter. In the event, the Government selected the Mirage III, which was manufactured in Australia as the Mirage IIIO. Of course, the Government could have gone the other way ... Had they done so, there was a chance that the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation would have been chosen to build it (they had been working on this with Lockheed). In real life, the Mirage IIIO was not used in Vietnam due to French restrictions (hence the reason Australia did not replace the Mirage IIIO with the Mirage 2000, and will not replace the F/A-18 with the Rafale), however the F-104G could have been used in Vietnam. The natural metal, and green/grey schemes reflect the actual colour schemes of the Mirage IIIO. SEA is included because it is highly appropriate for Australian conditions, and would reflect use of RAAF Starfighters in Vietnam. The "Fanta Can" is included because I'd be stoned to death for not including it. Further schemes may be included in updates. Contents Natural Metal, European green/grey, SEA camouflage skins for the following units: 3SQN 75SQN 76SQN 77SQN 79SQN ARDU "Fanta Can" scheme for ARDU. In the extras folder, there are alternate wings for different roundel configurations: Upper and lower, both wings (reflecting most F-104 users) Lower, both wings (reflecting the Mirage IIIO and A-4G) Upper left, lower right (reflecting the F-4E and F-111C) Installation Copy the contents of ModFolder into your mod folder. Overwrite where necessary. If you have downloaded the previous RAAF F-104G, I suggest deleting it before adding this mod. Materials and instructions for making the F-104G flyable are widely available on this site. You must have the Mirage IIIO DLC to use this mod. Add this text to "F-104G_userlist.ini" [Australia] ServiceStartYear=1964 ServiceEndYear=1993 Availability=COMMON Credits TK: The TW series, Stock F-104G Starfighter, Mirage IIIO DLC Spillone104 and Paulopanz: SEA skins P.S.

  11. F-4K, Royal Australian Navy, circa-1982. Tomorrow, I think I'll delete my RAN, RAAF, RCN, and RCAF F-4K/M Phantoms, and upload new ones, with several new skins.

  13. Weapons Pack 2

    Waiting eagerly!
  14. Weapons Pack 2

    Excellent Pack. I used the AGM-12B last night, and the visuals were way beyond my expectations. One question: do you have hi-definition AIM-4F and AIM-4G missiles?
  15. Thanks, Sundowner, I gave that a try, changing the last number in AttachmentPosition to the same as the CenterlineStationWet. The EMI Recce Pod became unavailable. The Station ID and StationGroup numbers were unchanged, but appeared to fit in with the TW F-4M.
  16. There is one peculiarity with carrier landings in SF2. In SF2 you can end up with a crosswind on a carrier landing. In real life, this generally doesn't happen, as the carrier will be steaming in such a way as to have the wind coming straight down the landing area.
  17. Good question, I was wondering about multiple types. On an Australian Essex class carrier, I was able to get all A-4G, all RAN F-8E, or all RAN F-4K. Apart from these RAN aircraft, I also have the Sea King.
  18. HMAS Melbourne (R21) Hi Res Deck

    Very nice! Makes you proud to be Australian.
  19. The problem is subsidence. http://www.minesub.nsw.gov.au/templates/mine_subsidence_board_hp.aspx?pageID=3824
  20. Anyone checked for use of alcohol in the de-icing system?
  21. I've been writing alternate histories on my wikia site. The most prominent of these is the "Nazi Cold War" series. Since I got back into SF2, I've decided to start taking things from that alternate history, and putting them into SF2. Here's a link to the site: http://themarshall.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Nazi_Cold_War_series So far, I've done the alternate F-4K and F-4M (with Canadian engines for Australia and Canada, rather than British engines for the RAF and RN), and I've partially done an RAAF F-106. Further in the pipeline is the "Messerschmitt Me 563" (a Nazi Mirage III). I am also thinking (in the long run) of doing a campaign based on this world.
