RFN Crusader version 1.3 is out

[sparouty]

Hi!
We've just released the Version 1.3 of our Crusader which brings you wing pylon's armament, Tacpack compatibility and some specific Electronic warefare panels.
We took also this occasion to fix some bugs (like smoke issue) and to improve some cockpit stuff.
I hope you will enjoy this version !
Regards,
Sylvain

Thank you

Wow!! - Thank you for the new and improved F-8 - I like the daisy cutters. This is how I remember VF-211 configured for Dixie station on both Hancock and the Bon Homme Richard.

Another big 'thank you'!
Very welcome as is the configuration app.

Thank you again for great addon + update and amazing work !

Btw. old skins work however you must use VC textures from US version (and change it panel section in aircraft cfg to US too, if you will see French cockpit). It depends on when the skin was made.

Great shot of the Crusader and the Bonny Dick, Butch!

Btw. I didnt like the milky glass in version before (this was especially visible in P3Dv5), so here I did new glass effect (from pilot view), you can notice it in " texture.VF211 " folder from 1.3v. If you like it, use it (Glass_I.dds) in another skins/repaints .
The add-on is amazing, there is definitely a paid quality and even more. CRG RFN Team !

Hi guys!
We've just uploaded a V1.4 of our Crusader.
In this last package, we added a C version, removed the BLC and double leading edge for the C version, and reworked the US Navy cockpits (replacing French VHF panel).

I hope it will provide a nice overview of the Crusader fighter versions!
Regards,
Sylvain

Thank you for the nice "C" version addon.

A question:


Is this suppose to be the AN/APS 67 radar scope for the "C" version? Full screen view of scope looks to be blocked
a little.

Vf-24 F-8C

Thanks for the "C" model. I can now use that with the VF-24 F-8C

Are you mixing parts from previous versions?

It's a perfect square in a round frame. Just like your image and on page 35 of the v1.4 manual.

Hi!
As Frank said, it seems you have something mixing between F-8C and E/J versions.
I guess you have a texture issue due to your extra VF-24 repaint addition.
Check your VF-24 texture folder and be sure that you have 4 "Cockpit_I_..." textures: 2 files for the "Cockpit_I_2" and 2 other ones for "Cockpit_I_3".
One simple way to fix it is to use all the VF-103 textures files (from original V1.4 package) and just copy-paste over your own VF-24 external files (FuselageX_T.dds, FuselageX_Spec.dds, AileX_T.dds, Cockpit_T and Cockpit_T_Spec).

Let me know if it fixes your issue?
Regards,
Sylvain
