The fortunate thing is that this isn't that big a problem, provided you're working with stock aircraft and JPG skins. Not too much bloat in the mod folder.

That's pretty much what I thought. The ideal solution, which the engine presumably doesn't allow, is to have the skin in the fake pilot folder overridden by a skin in the aircraft's skin folder (which would also allow you to customise pilots to each skin, for instance, a Hawk T.1 could have olive flight suits as default, and a Red Arrows pilot skin in the Red Arrows skin folder)

I have a few in the garage, just don't tell the cops.

I've been working on various F-4Js. I found one way to have various skins for the DECM FakePilot, however that involves a fakepilot for each skin, and a different aircraft for each, for instance, I'd have an F-4J_ECM_BarleyGrey, and a separate F-4J_74_BarleyGrey, and so on for each type of skin. Is there a less clunky way to do it?

Rescue aircraft use the H modified mission letter. The reason most USCG aircraft use it is that they're rescue aircraft. Some of their helicopters use the M modified mission letter to denote their combined roles of rescue and law enforcement. This Phantom would be used purely as a fighter. Before 1962, the designation for a USCG F-4B would have been F4H-1G.

We do now, once the admins allow the mod.

An old friend sent me this .During the early 80s, the USCG were allocated a number of recently retired F-4s to aid their anti-drug program. Their ex-USN crews were ordered to intercept, and either force to land, or destroy drug smuggling aircraft. It is believed that this F-4 was photographed shooting down a drug-laden Rockwell Aero Commander over the Gulf of Mexico.

Flying above deck height is purely optional if you the right aircraft.

Yes, those aircraft are exclusive to the RAN. The user lists reflect that. I think you're right. It is the only explanation left. There is nothing in the aircraft or the carrier inis that would cause this.

Yes, it is an Audacious class "HMAS Melbourne". Two RAN F-4Ks sitting on the catapults, with a gaggle of British F-4Ks or Sea Vixens and Buccaneers parked around the deck. My Essex class Australian carrier usually shows RAN F-4Bs or RAN F-4Ks with A-4Fs (not A-4Gs). All of those aircraft are set to Exported=FALSE.

Is there a way to determine the nation whose aircraft are parked on a carrier? I modified Hinchinbrook's Audacious class Ark Royal into an Australian carrier. Every reference to nations in the ini files has been changed to "AustralianNavy", yet the aircraft on deck are all British. On the other Australian carriers, the aircraft are Australian.

#mannequinlivesmatter Obviously the boiler in the train was not running.

RAAF SEAC wraparound Phantoms, plus a Green/Grey wraparound Phantom. Which insignia do you prefer for the SEAC skin, the RAAF Type B roundel, or the RAAF SEAC roundel?

It doesn't. The number on the tail is five digits of a BuAer number that corresponds to an F-4B bailed to the USAF for evaluation. Early F-4Cs did wear Gull Grey/White (as did early RF-4Cs), but this is definitely an F-4B. The F-4B in Bkackburn32's pic is BuAer 150652/USAF 62-12178.

Has anyone done an US Air Force F-4B skin? As presumably everyone knows, the USAF borrowed 29 F-4Bs for trials. They retained their USN national marking positions, and received USAF serials. This is 62-12168/149405. I've done an F-4C Gull Grey/White skin, but I haven't released it.

I don't envy the guy who has to land that on a carrier.

Very good! Just one thing, you might want to reverse the kangaroo on the right-hand side. The kangaroo always faces forwards.

I did some googling, and there is more of this kind of thing here: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?120331-Frankenplane-Prototypes

Where did that Frankenfitter come from?

RAAF RF-4E (just) over North Vietnam. This one is just about ready to release. Alone, unarmed, unafraid.
