Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.
Phantom paints!

Jensole, it did that to me too and I resized the pic you have to upload to 800X600 and it worked.

So the miss-match of camo lines is genuine to the Spanish a/c?Spanish F-4C Phantom C.12-40 of Ala (wing)-12. The spanish Phantoms had some abnormalities in the SEA-scheme comapred to the USAF Phantoms, so in the end almost all camo edge lines ahve been redrawn. white stencils makes for an interesting contrast.
That's cool....it's not just us sim painters who get it wrong then....

Thanks again Jens,
I like them all - each has some special significance.
Many thanks,

"Coonass" just means you are of Cajun ethnicity. Makes perfect sense for a Guard unit in Louisiana.Not sure if the next one is political correct or not... Coonass militia from the 122nd TFS, 159th FG Louisiana ANG, early 1980s. Wrap around SEA scheme with minimal stencil decals.
I really like that wrap-around camo scheme. How about some more ANG units?
Those that wore SEA camo tended to eventually wear Euro1 camo later on.

Bumping this thread as the repaints seem to have vanished from SOH library ?
Any ideas?

What?
No paint from VMFAT-101, N/J/and S models?
If you were a Marine F-4 driver/RIO pair, you went through '101, at MCAS Yuma, Az.
I spent 9 years there, frantically working IMA Radar shop to keep as many birds flyable as possible. The AWG-10A was horribly unreliable. We spent every weekend, and 3 crews all week working on them. When they finally got the AWG-10B, 90% of our AWM (AWaiting Maintenance), and AWP (AWaiting Parts), vanished.
We held a big shop party the weekend it was finally cleared out and we had a weekend off, let me tell you!
Lots of fun, having to run some ring-knockers through the "how to turn the radar on" checks. They were supposed to learn that in their own RIO school, but a number of them must have slept through it.
Most fun was when we'd get a nugget butter-bar come into the shop, tell the assigned tech to shut up and stay out his way, proceed to flip switches and turn knobs, and...nothing happened. The officer would then tell us the bench was broken, and he wanted a functional one RIGHT NOW!
As he was turning away the tech would reach in, press a button marked POWER, and fire the bench up. Amazing what colors some of those RIO's could turn after that...
We did get a few pilots come through, wanting to see what their scope should show during various operations. THEY were very nice, as a general rule. Very smart, to get that leg up on their class-mates. Of course, we were able to put up most any display they wanted to see. Good men.
Sorry, I ramble. Still, it would be awesome to see a VMFAT-101 paint
Have fun!

Hi,
I just checked the file library and all the Phantom paints are there
I bought the Milviz F-4S, but I have given up on getting it to work. So I tried the SWS B/N model and have enjoyed it very much. My starting point was low vis grey paints and with the N model you have a rather limited number of users around 1980. But I would have loved to do both USN and MC grey paints for a working S model..

Still enjoying the paints, Jens.
Regarding the S, no one would complain if you did some S paints for the SWS N model ....

Just a small point of interest here:
These paints -- much appreciated as they are -- won't work on the PBR-enabled SWS F-4s for P3Dv4.5/5. The model mapping has completely changed.
I'm sorry that some people can't enjoy the Milviz F-4s. My only issue is that the aircraft CG seems to be set too far aft (about where an aircraft parachute would be?).
Large inputs of node-down trim on startup, and she behaves -- for me, anyway.
