Exactly.

Guessing he gave up on the “rofighter”. Or xilon_x is giving a political slant to things?

Good catch.

Rah, rah, rah.

I personally never went south, but yes, there were frequent arrested landings with the Phantoms stationed there.

An iconic aircraft. I wish you well in your endeavors.

Aye, true. RAF were fully paid up members of the "bl**dy crosswind" club.

True. Larger intakes and redesigned fuselage played hell with the (already) “interesting” aerodynamics. J-79 equipped Phantoms ruled in the mid 20’s upwards, but down in the weeds the Spey was in its element. All kinds of thrust! Spool up times were slightly longer than the J-79. As for “noticeably slower” . . . ‘Officially’ Spey Phantoms wouldn’t get above 1.8M, I have heard more than once of +2M being achieved at altitude (on air test), and 740kts at low level. Certainly no slouch, not the quickest - but no slouch.

Wasn’t aware of that one. Thanks for the info

Wasn’t the TARPS pod for the F-14? The only podded recce the Phantom carried was the (massive!) EMI pod.

F-4E is not carrier compatible. MLG is not suitable for the carrier environment at all. Although It “could” possibly land on one . . . . Once only.

That Sir, is high-end art. What a piece! You have quite a talent.

Very similar in operation to the display on the F-5 module.

Pretty certain only FGR2 went south.

Oh yes . . .

That’s dedication! Love it

I’m pleased for you. For those who wish to use the aircraft as it was intended - I only wish to give information. Receive it or not.

But the E isn’t strong enough structurally to handle a carrier, nor are the landing gear assemblies sufficiently “beefy”.

Just remember the old axiom - fight to YOUR strengths, not your opponents. Fight YOUR way, not his . . .

Either frightened stiff, or bored lol.

Lol. Camel max speed below F-4 min speed . . .

Hello all, I am in NO WAY an expert in the dark arts of mission creation in DCS, but I am wondering if there is a way to limit the AI, specifically airborne, to a certain range from say - a coastline or a certain map point. Currently the AI will happily go on its merry way entirely across a map chasing a target, but what I desire is the ability to limit this. For instance, a CAP flight that will only engage within x amount of miles of a map point, or a box that maybe 60 x 120 miles, the CAP flight will break off and return to patrol should the target leave said area. Taking a coastline for example, can AI be set to only go out x amount of miles? Maybe honoring a boundary? Should either side break that boundary, then “it’s on”. Any pointers or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this far. G.J.S

An upcoming module . . .

Looks fine to meeeee!?!
