when you finish 3DDBuilder procedure,next step add aircraft to DB.

@SOBO-87 I think i see a L and a R for left and right, so maybe something symmetrical?
-
@SOBO-87 I can’t see a M but… Mach 0.5, 0,6, 0.7…. ? To Mach 1.5 ? Possible…
-
@Obi1 yeah… maybe some torque ? I agree there I a left and right, but with one needle… strange…
-
@Magnum1964 hi ! Yes, because it’s up to you to replace any aircraft you want too ! By my side it’s F-16 RNLAF which is useless for my personal use of BMS if you are an advanced user, you can create your own entry… You can also wait the next release of ITO, it’s the cleanest way to get it !
-
@kouzi F-35 mod ?
-
yes,I use this tutorial to add new plane to my BMS

From all the images i have, the gauge in the lavi cockpit is only in the TD varient and i believe was used for technology demo’s as intended, the image you have was also described in aviation week like so:
“Primary flight display in the Lavi TD cockpit is the Hughes holographic head-up display. Below the HUD is the up-front controller. The color multifunction display to the right contains tactical information. The navigation information is in green while tactical information is in other colors. although the TD is not yet equipped with a radar, a radar display is shown in the mockup’s center monochromatic head-down display. While barley visible in the left multifunction display, aircraft weapons loading is presented. Engine instrumentation for the Pratt & Whitney 1120 and fuel quantity are below the left display. The lavi TD has a center stick providing input to the digital, quadruple, multimode full authority fly-by-wire flight control system.”
i have some more cockpit images but im guessing you have most of the same images as i do already
(second image is from elbit) -

@dumba yeah I see Land R now that you mention it. Since it’s a test aircraft could it be a Beta gauge? A gauge to accurately measure aircraft yaw or sideslip to help define the directional stability characteristics of the aircraft in various configurations.
Wouldn’t appear in the fully developed aircraft, hence why it’s missing from the above cockpit pics.

Hello Toot,
Thank you very much for your kind of information ! very nice of you !
I will keep it preciously !
I have some ideas about what I will do for MFDs, I will share it soon, especially a little surprise !
I will then consider that it was a testing device. Maybe for aircraft symetry or yaw control ?
On another topic, I just completed my researches about payload of Lavi. Here is what we will propose :
Any comments will be appreciated !

- I have some doubt about AIM-9P and 9M, I’m pretty sure 9L. In the late 80s, I think it’s all, no 9X, and previous version used by IDF/AF (G, H or J) were deprecated.
- I would have added Python 5 (same location as Python 4) in 2000+ context
- I also have doubt on AGM-88 witout HTS pod

@Radium interesting gun position, reminds me of the jf-17/mirage 3’s guns

Hello Topolo,
-
About AIM-9P, I just double checked, and youi are right, I can’t find a picture of an AIM-9P mounted on an IDF Lavi. I guess we could keep AIM-9L and M ?
-
For Python 5, on, I’m with you there !
-
IDF is very silent about it, but they operate AGM-88 (named as Kel’aa in Israel), on their F-16. As long as HTS is not exportable, they use it, as far as I know it, as any other export country :
What do you think ?
Cheers,
Radium

@Toot I heard that some people quoted that Lavi is the son of a Mirage 2000 with a F-16 !
-
I have never seen evidence of Harm been sold to Israel. Also afaik IAF does not operate SEAD, only DEAD, so they have a variety of local weapon options to take care any threat.

In fact, Israel was a SEAD country. Here is some background story :
the following deliveries of AGM-45 and AGM-78 took place (while the numbers of missiles are approximate, delivery dates are exact):
- 100 AGM-45A, delivered in 1970-71;
- 300 AGM-45A, delivered in 1973 (aid during 1973 war)
- 100 AGM-78, delivered in 1974-1976
The 1982 war was the heyday of IAF’s anti-radar weapons. On June 9, the operation Artzav-19 against Syrian SAMs in Lebanon featured the entire 105th Squadron—over 20 Phantoms carrying 2 Standard ARM each—as part of the first wave of the attack. Missiles were launched at ranges of several tens of kilometers, climbed to the altitude of 9km, and then plunged onto their targets. Syrian radars operated in an anti-Shrike mode (periodically turning off radars), which was ineffective against AGM-78. The 105th Squadron aircrews mentioned cases of being locked on by radars and even having SAMs launched against them, but that did not thwart the attack. In addition to the Egrof Sagol launches, several dozens of Kahlilit and Keres ground-based ARMs were launched as well. After that, SAMs were attacked by Shrike-carrying Skyhawks, and the now-blinded SAM batteries were destroyed by guided missiles and bombs from Phantoms of other squadrons. SAM positions were also hit by artillery and MRL fire, and toward the end Kfirs struck with cluster bombs. Artzav-19 was a success, Syrian air defenses were crushed with no Israeli losses.
For AGM-88 it seems most classified !
Maybe AGM-78 would be an option.

Hello,
AGM-78 looks big… Not sure it’s realistic to implement it.
Maybe we will skip the SEAD mission…
What do you think ?

Don’t see why not - they may have only been manufactured to 1976.
F-16 used the AIM-9P-3 “Mikbatz” in 1982 alongside the L version…they were short on Ls
