MV F-4E Phantom II Released!

[Duckie]

Just finished my new "blank canvas". Includes modified bumps and specs to accommodate updated panels and corrected (by Milviz) splitter plate perforations.

[DaveQ]

Still quite a bit to do but most of the camo's complete now after a long struggle with a highly detailed but also highly complex paint kit that keeps crashing CS4! XV406 (D) of No. 111 Squadron RAF around 1977.



I believe someone's already done a kosher two-tone grey 74 Sqdn F4-J from the mid-1980's, but this works for me at least. Will put this out when done but it may be a while. In fact MV may well have put out a K/M by then.....!

PS - this is in DX9; DX10 still gives an issue with the afterburners though I haven't got the latest SP

Awesome - my favourite RAF F-4 squadron scheme!

Nice work DaveQ! Just pleas to check colour of external tanks, it looks like from USAF camo (dark green and light blue).
CRG, a lot of work!

Hi DaveQ,

Many thanks in advance,

Stéph.

As Dave mentioned, someone else is already doing a 74 Sqn paint: Check WIP images on the Groom Lake Simulations FB page.

Thanks YoYo and now corrected. Many other tiny bits to find and paint as well! And the leading edges of the inner wings need wrapping under too.

You guys are making things very difficult for me, i dont have much to spend on payware so im saving my penny's for the SWS B model ( short nose variants being my favorites ), and now you guys are releasing all these great paints for the J model, what is a guy to do !!!

cheers ian

Hi,

The J/S model (with the S VC) will be a completely different product. It will include the following:

1) a J model external with the leading edge flaps, BLC and a corrected FDE for these.

2) a S model external AND VC with leading edge slats, no BLC and a corrected FDE for these.

We are hoping to do a carrier as well but that is not yet certain. It is under consideration. We will, of course, make both of these carrier compatible and we MAY implement autoland. Again, this is uncertain.

Thank you.

Kat.

Sounds incredible. Remember that the wing fence between outer/inner slats are a bit different on the S-model, compared to the E.

Best regards Dag

YoYo, what simulator do you use? Because no way is the same that i use

[Duckie]

Is anybody else missing the right wing fence on the last updated J model (150803)?

I've installed (after uninstalling) twice but still no right wing fence. Myh download was with all AV and Firewall shut down and not other apps running.

Everything else seems to work fine.

Hi Duckie!
Fence? What are you thinking about? Maybe my English is too poor : ). The right side looks ok for me (803v.): http://images68.fotosik.pl/1095/8b5f07520c88958f.jpg , http://images68.fotosik.pl/1095/4539f9643c2c3bb6.jpg .
Antivirus was turn off?
Btw. You can check MV support Forum.

Edit: Ok, I found it, You have right. I'll call it on MV Forum, for me its a interrupter.

Another issue I've found. If you're using any F-4J paints not in the latest patch (--803), make sure you copy the F4E_12_ext_bump file into each such texture folder (or into the generic 'texture' folder). At least on my clean install there is no F4E_12_ext_bump file in there. Otherwise you get an oddly dark weird nose...! Posted this on the support forum too.

[YoYo]

DaveQ, It isn't issue. J/S version was updated by developer so "old" skins must be updated too by authors.
Its easy to fix it: just copy F4E_12_ext_bump + spec to folder with "old" skins J/S.

You can do it manually, take this textures (F4E_12_ext_bump.dds and F4E_ext_specular.dds) from VF-92 Folder and copy to other, non-default skins (J or S only).

DaveQ, I mentioned this in my paint update thread. I found that both the F4E_12_ext_bump and F4E_12_ext_specular need to be added to all my paints. This was found by checking the VF92 paint folder. This is a change for the J after the new SP1 release. Yo Yo beat me to it.
