F-4 Phantom
-
Im starting to think maybe use the dat file of EJ as well in the E version… Damn this bird mitght be not a sharp turn one but sure can keep turning… Well the main difference of the Slatted with the fixed winged Phantoms was that. Slatted version gained the sharp turning and maneuvering quick but it lost a big amount of power. The drag its Huge. The fixed wing didnt had that but it had a loss in sharp turning… You can find videos in Youtube explaining exaclty that. The slatted version also became to sensitive in the changes of the stick… But i will said this again the drag Its huge when you exseed 30 degrees of AOA the speed drops rapidly and you can find your self stalling in seconds and as the real pilots say just let it free to gain a bit of speed again and pull the stick gently to regain the normal attitude… Also in some some of the stall circumstances (i didnt know that actually) one of the recovery methods was (and probably still is to the countries still using the Phantom) to deploy the dragchute wile on air stalling!!! Beautyfull but strange Aircraft

Skinning…… I might be able to do it after all… hmmm doesnt look bad even with USAF stencils :P. I know its an AUP i just did it to see how the camo Looks

Just short update - got distracted today with a few household tasks but I did make some nice progress on the DXM –> LOD model see below what was start point
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b94/ranger822/DXMtoLOD.jpg
was able to fix several items on the start point.
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b94/ranger822/Todaysprogress.jpg
some thing obvious - like the windscreen and side screens, rudder was turned inside out, spoiler also turned inside out, hud fixed. The left and right LEF are next. I also noticed a few other smaller issues that could be fixed, and not forgetting the stabilator asymmetry. I think I am going to make it easy on myself - knowing this model is for the most part going to be shortlived, I am not going to spend too much time trying to make it perfect, instead just get it working and later maybe fix up a few other things in time. I really think the better way to go with models is to bypass the LODEditor and do models properly in 3ds and convert back to LOD. Working in LE is really a PITA.
Sorry, not meaning to hijack, was this ever completed? Still trying to fix stab issues for FF Phantoms…

And one in game:
https://image.ibb.co/dAjWHk/2017_06_16_215420.jpgNeeds a bit of work in the dofs and in the outer Slats (lefs) i need to make the inside part as i did with the inner lefs.
That look great, actually :shock:
Thanks for making JASDF livery, Manos.FYI, that ocean camo for F-4EJ Kai in 8th Tactical Fighter Squadron doesn’t exist anymore.
It was used until the squadron transitioned to F-2 in 2009.Currently, similar ocean camo is used for some RF-4Es in JASDF Hyakuri Air Base.
However, the color is bit different. (much brighter than old 8SQ’s one)F-4EJ Kai:
RF-4E:
You can find many pictures by using the word of “F-4 洋上迷彩” or “RF-4 洋上迷彩” in Google Image Search.

I also have a Completely black aniversary 1 i think i posted some images before, a grey with som black/red parts also aniversary i think, 2 RF liveries with grey-green and green-brown… EJ when i finish her i think she will have 2-3 maybe more skins… as USAF -E as well -

You have to ask Ranger822 for them. I havent got anything to do anymore with those lods as the “new” one got me completely dedicated to it. I dont think that the stab. problem has fixed but as i said you better ask him
-
Yeah, I was kinda hoping he’d see the post… : P
Btw, I’m pretty-sure I’ve already said, but just in case: you’re doing brilliant work, here.

Since the 301st and 302nd TFSs are the only F-4EJ Kai squadrons in JASDF now, I would say both are relevant livery.
There’s RF-4E and RF-4EJ used in 501st Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, however I don’t think it’s relevant since it doesn’t exist in KTO database.301st TFS aka “第301飛行隊” (F-4EJ Kai):
302nd TFS aka “第302飛行隊” (F-4EJ Kai):
501st TRS aka “第501飛行隊” (RF-4E and RF-4EJ)

I have to say, having played the Hellas campaign recently, I was very very impressed by the quality of the new Phantoms. I almost want to say they look better than the F16 models.
-
Wow guys, just found this.
Looking damn amazing. I’d throw my money at you for it. Also I’m considering making a ramp start video for English speakers, because it’s taken me over 2 days to figure it out. Can’t find anything on ramp start on Youtube aside from a Spanish tutorial. Let me know if you all are interested!Might as well make a sound mod for you all
-
Done.

Allready replied in your thread… ME WANT

Will be ready sometime this weekend. Check the other thread on Sunday!!
-
Hey have you guys released this model? If so, how do I get it?
-
100% no it isnt released therefore you can find Turkish and Greek version in Ikaros theater
-
Would be very nice to have that F-4E also in the Korean Theater at some stage
-
Manos, I figured out the problem I was having in LOD editor. Sorry for spamming you on PM earlier.
I have updated .dat files for you to include my Phantom sounds with your work. Let me know when you’re ready for them and I will PM you the link.
Also: do you have desert textures by any chance?
Thanks

Desert textures? meaning Israel ones? I have but they arent any good as all the warning and other lettering is mixed and not even israeli. Raptor will contacct you soon about the dat files and the sounds soo u can figure out how that may help Ikaros theater with your sounds
