HU: Milviz F-4J/S has launched!

Shared cockpit is now available in both the S/J and E so you can watch those traps if you like. See the Milviz F-4 general forums for details.
 
Do the paints for the "J" i.e., on the E model that were posted earlier this year here in the SOH Library fit the new "real" J model just released?
 
Hi,

95% of those old paints will work but we did make some changes, in particular to the slats/flaps. Those areas might be a problem.

Btw, we added the ability to have the box for the RAF version. That can be added by looking in the aircraft.cfg and changing the line RAF to 1.

Thank you

Kat
 
Only beginning to discover the possibilities of this wonderful plane. Managed to trap her several times (and by now every time), but she's a tricky one! The installer is not really working as it should: It won't install both FSX and Steam simultanously, but that 's perhaps Win 10. Bring on the repaints!:biggrin-new:

:applause:

Cees, that is how the installer is coded. You can only install one platform at a time. It would be incredibly awkward to try to do a multi-platform install at once.
 
Nice one Cees , I have not had much time for FS in the last week or so but looking forward to plopping this down onto Aerosoft's USS Kitty Hawk and the the Team SDB USS Enterprise , Its really going to rock the boat when SimWorks Studios USS Midway comes out for the MP being a drive-able carrier now that will be ideal.

Does that apply to the E version as well? I just installed the latest version and did not see the RAF entry for the "J" models.
 
I did not hesitate to pickup the J/S kit. I haven't done any significant flying yet. I have quite a bit of NATOPS reading to do. Heck, I am happy just sitting and listening to the engine sounds. Excellent job!
 
So Kat, now that this is out do you recon the E will be given the ability to do an instrument approach what with it being an all weather aircraft and all.
 
Hi,

The F-4E Phantom II, circa 1970, had no ILS, so no, we will not be adding this capability to the aircraft. To do so would mean changing the panel layout to something more recent (post Vietnam) and that is not in the cards.

Thank you.

Kat.
 
It is unfortunate that you guys have stuck to the 1970 reasoning for no ILS since 80% of those F-4 schemes are 1980's or later.
The wings didn't have slats in 1970 as yours does, the gun muzzle was not lengthened till later either. These are not minor details unless you allow that it is a post circa 1970 aircraft.
60 bucks for an aircraft with no radar, no weapons capability, you just fly from point a to b and hope the weather is swell when you get there.
 
Yes, the slatted E's started with Block 53 onward (Feb 1972) and all the early block F-4E's were retrofitted except for the few flown by the Thunderbirds. The Gun Muzzle change (MIDAS IV Mod) was in Block 48 which appeared in 1971 and again was retrofitted to early block aircraft.

The SEA paints are accurate to this time frame (early 70's up to and past the Vietnam drawdown) but as with most FS Military model aircraft, you're going to see a good share of repaints which represent the late stages of the career of the aircraft. The MSIP/TO changes to the exterior & certainly interior are so constant that it's pretty much impossible to model each and every little detail to accurately match each late repaint.
