i worked 10 years in the Philippines and i have now a large Filipino family there and in the USA and yes people should talk more to each other and find out who else lives on this planet and try to understand them , unfortunatley we live in a time where lies and deception is used to rule the world -

F-4D Phantoms Cockpits

somebody told me a while ago that the radar texture in SF2 is hardcoded to 256 x256 that is not true , i simply changed the value below [RadarDisplay] ViewportTextureSize=1024 and now i have a very clear and sharp radar texture and i cult even add some small details to it that would not show up with a texture size of 256 x 256 final radar texture based a the F-4D weapons delivery manual from 1976 -

i´m currently working to finish all the F-4E cockpits and upload them as soon as im done with it ( will only work with F-4E´s made by me ) there is something with the F-4D and early F-4E radar that i like to fix , first there is no extra PPI screen in this radars the PPI screen came with the DSCG display (F-4E Block60 up ) about 1974 before that there was only the radar screen as in the F-4D even for the PPI display , next is the Radar display itself for the F-4D i added the lines on the display in green for a better contrast but that is wrong this lines where not part of the Radar display itself they where incraved in to the glas in front ( for the rear cockpit ) and in to a lense ( front cockpit ) therfor this lines should not look green at all they should be more grey or white the PPI mistake happen because i use a F-4E cockpit to make the F-4D cockpit and did not think about the early radar display , as i mention befor i´m getting old this is how it looks right now in the F-4D cockpit and this is how it will look after the update i'm preparing this is how it is going to look in game and the correct PPI display the F-4E radars will look exactly like that , the first with the more modern DSCG display will be the F-4E_75 something i dont know is if the late F-4D`s (after1984 ) did get the more modern display as well but all infos so far say no the latest manual i have for the F-4D is the Weapons Delivery Manual from 1976 / 1977 and this one is still showing the old standard radar display an other change happen with the Gun Sight Mode Selector Knob , currently it works as a Radar Mode Selector Knob but i set it back to the HUD_MODE_INDIDCATOR funktion so it will work as it should if you select the Cage mod so there is an other update coming soon -

Thanks i appreciate that you like my F-4D cockpits and your english is ok for me ( i´m from Germany and my english is not that good either) about future F-4 cockpits the F-4E/F/G cockpits are almost done i just have to add some more changes , cockpits for the F-4C or F-4B/J/N/S will be something that i can do but not in the near future first i have to get the NEW F-4E/F/G aircraft and cockpits done and an other problem will be the available Flight and Tactical manuals for the Navy Phantoms with out this manuals it will be very difficult to get this cockpits done for the late F-4F ICE cockpit i still have to make a trip to the JG74 at Neuburg/Donau to get in the F-4F they have there and take some pictures and hopfully get some informations from former F-4F pilots or mechanics , there are some lights left and right from the HUD ( below the AOA indicator lights ) that i have no clue what they are for and there is no manual for the F-4F from that time periode available , i called varius GAF offices and even the Ministry of Defence to get my hands on one of this late manuals but no luck , it seams that they got all destroyed making this cockpits is more or less the easy part , getting the manuals , pictures and infos is the hard part and sometimes the reason i have to stop a project , you have no idea how long it took me to get good pictures for the JASDF F-4E cockpits or the Turkish Air Force F-4E cockpits ( for the Turkish F-4E´s i´m still searching more pictures and infos ) -
