Here F4 from "The Unsung" ( old ver. from November 2008)

You'll have to forgive my crappy screen shots.

The textures are actually much better than what they look like in those shots.

The main bodywork is good, as it high resolution, but the wings are low rez hence the normal map difference.

I wasn't trying to out release anyone or anything with this F-4, I only looked at it on Thursday and had the textures back 12 hours ago, so I thought what the hell, it flies well etc.

exhaust smoke

Does that mean they smoke like crazy at take off like the real thing? yay.gif

Can you script the "Phantom special dogfight technique" ?

Blind the enemy with all the exhaust smoke to shoot him down rofl.gif

Never mind that one guy, he just wants to stir trouble. You didn't out release anyone, VTE F4 has been out since 2007. I simply meant what I said, it will be interesting to see how your F4 looks like as we had the same source files to begin with.

@xav well you don't notice it too much on take off but once your flying along it leaves a nice F-4 smoke trail  smile_o.gif

@snakeman - yeah I wanted to steer clear of the whole 'vietnam' thing, hence why I went with the more current roundel instead of the retro one, and mentioned it as more modern etc.

I know this aircraft was used in desert storm, so thats where I wanted to pitch it, I should have really gone for the mavericks instead of the FFAR, but I find a good strafing run with FFAR to much more enjoyable  smile_o.gif

I was messing about with the VTE mod when it first came out, it was one of the first things that started me on the road to converting stuff.

Your skin is almost there.  The US roundel is only on one wing.  Best pict that I could find quickly.  

f4_1.jpg

The roundel is on the port wing top and starboard wing bottom.

Noted mate, it will be adjusted for the next release.

Could we have one with napalm :P Nice addon btw. One of the landing lights is right behind the cockpit though... and could we get the instruments to light up at night? Otherwise great addon man thanks for this beauty!

Quote[/b] ]pic two have the model kit of that F4 lol

biggrin_o.gif   That's pretty cool, what scale?  1/48?

Also...the F-4F and maybe G are "Wild Weasels".  Not the F-4E.  The F-4E has the 20mm Vulcan cannon while the F-4F/G have no cannon.  I think the electronics gear is there in place of the cannon but not sure on that.  Speaking of the smoke exhaust...oh yea,  at 100% power...the Phanthom would just pour out the black smoke.  lol  Seen quite a few air shows to have seen this with my own eyes.

Edit:  Ok...I should've just checked first but the F-4G is a advanced "Wild Weasel".  Here's a pretty good video on youtube.

Don't forget what was probably the last variant made in Israel, the Kurnas 2000. Basically an F-4 on steroids and has the cannon put back in it (as it should). All the avionics are updated (state of the art radar/fire control systems) and it can be fitted with the Python 4 and 5 missiles making it extremely lethal.

We got some Kurnas 2000 fighter bombers working in the LoBo mod thanks to Southy, John Ka, and Namman2 but they don't have all the beautiful FX that Southy added to this addon. This one is very sweet!

Is this one done 100% or do i have to download a couple of

updates before i can play with it???

Im not beeing sarkastic or so i just dont know if its worth

the download yet...

EDIT: Gave it a try in editor and love it...

Nice march speed..

LOVE the Afterburner "time to kick", and the max speed..

Nice loadouts...Maby a bit unrealistic for ONE plane..

This one in a mission would be unmatched.
