I'd like to help... but I'm about to start work on textures for the FSX Brewster Buffalo that Gordon Maddison and I have created, and I also do some beta testing for some of the payware developers so I need to be careful not to spread myself to thin. I particularly wanted this paint scheme that's why I was prepared to spend some time (quite a lot as it turned out) on it. I'm not sure how widespread the use of this style of Camo was (whether it is USAFE or just an Icelandic thing), but I'm certainly happy to share it with others who want It but the problem is mainly its size because of the 4096x format of the textures. Anyway If Alex wants it to redistribute that's ok by me as long as Stu is ok with it... It includes the C panel lining and stencils which he created.

This is great. Having the SWS F4B/N and the MV J/S.. with these paints, I don't need to go to the expense of the MV F4E to enjoy some USAF Phantoms

That looks great, Matt! I'll get Alex to look it over to see if anything needs to be added/modified on it before it's uploaded.

I just uploaded a texture set for the SWS F-4B in the markings of USAF F-4C ... .

Thanks,Stu,beautiful work! I particularly liked 64-0676 of the 391st TFS out of Cam Ranh Air Base circa 1966.

Wish there were a way to load USAF inboard wing pylons. The USN pylons were no longer used at Cam Rahn Bay in the '69 time frame.

Thanks again.

I know. Maybe if enough people petition SimWorks Studios they will give us an F-4C/D.

Thanks Navy Chief.

Unfortunately, I'm very busy right now working on a Southeast Asia multi-player scenario which requires testing various components and creating a bunch of repaints.

That being said, once I'm caught up with things, I'll definitely be willing to try accommodating requests.

Now, I'm not trying to throw him under the bus or anything but MDIvey is pretty darn capable too.... so if you'd like to see it sooner rather than later, you might want to ask Matt if he's willing to give it a go.

Stu

Thanks for your reply. No hurry at all! If it happens someday, then great! I was with them for a VERY short period in the late 70s, when they still had F-100s, and about to transition to Phantoms. NC

 

[MDIvey]

Stu... 57FIS paint is now in your drop box to check. If all ok then feel free to package and upload.

Just uploaded the texture set for F-4C-21-MC s/n 63-7708 ("Half Fast") of the 559th Tactical Fighter Squadron,Vietnam, circa 1969.

Another beauty, Stu, thanks. Here are the tail markings:

Well, they are a long way there with the F-4B/N, at least graphically. However, systems, cockpits, ordnance, and inboard/outboard pylons, as well as tanks, would of course need modifications, among other things.

For me, simply give me the option to add USAF pylons in the F-4B payload manager, and I'd be even more overjoyed using your repaints, Stu!

EDIT TO ADD: I just uploaded an update for F-4C-21-MC_63-7708 that has the correct textures for the tail and helmets and an updated thumbnail.

It looks like I somehow included the wrong texture for the tail.....since I used this very picture as a reference for it .....and I remember doing it.
I'll put together an update for it tonight.

Thanks,

Stu

Simply with time out able to look at the Phantom again .. Jeeeeez when you really study it , I simply love to have one parked up my driveway just for the hell of it.

 

[awstub]

Hehe, you and me, both!

Somehow I don't think my wife would like it though

I was looking at some photos of Lakenheath F4Ds and I noticed there is a bit of the mid green I missed on the forward left fuselage so I took the opportunity to make some more tweaks and uploaded a new set of the 57FIS textures to your dropbox... now ver 1_1.

with the recent update, ive now lost the ability to set the config manger to non tacpack load out as the F-4_Phantom_App.exe is missing

does anyone know of the fix for this?

 

[strykerpsg]

Regrettably, I too have a similar anomaly with some desktop shortcuts. I have tried uninstall and reinstall 4 different times, same thing each time.

 

[PhantomP]

Go ask on the SWS forums,maybe it's a bug they can fix.
