Looks great, wish you all the best and that this project goes well ... I'd love to be able to purchase it on the future. Best regards.

[71st_AH Rob]

Good luck, looking forward to flying it.

[MrDieing]

Good luck with this beauty! Day one for me!

#3 Fully functional APG-30 radar with target lock-on and target range information

 

AIRCRAFT A-4 gunsight system Simulated

 

What are your sources for the F-84D having an APG-30 + A-4? And the APG-30 (a ranging radar) having "lock-on" functionality?

Hi Drphibes,Thank you for pointing this out I had not yet add more information about the radar and Different gunsights Used Depending on Variant Went to bed Late and had to continue this morning,The F-84 had many Variants and later models had the AN/APG-30 radar-ranging gunsight paired with the K-14/A1-C/A-4 gunsight depending on Variant.

The radar Worked in a way that it projected trajectory of the target where it would end up therefore making it easier to Shoot at.

 

 

The F84D/E/G variants all used with the APG-30 and A1-C Gun/Rocket/Bomb Sight,Earlier Models Used the K-14 Gunsight.

As to where I got the information,Many places Including the Flight Manual Depending on Variants also Technical Manuals along with Reading Hystory About this Aircraft.

 

ABOUT FLIGHT MODEL

Also to Make the Flight model I have Many Naca Data on this aircraft Including Real test Flights with Charts and Formulas.

Credits goes to Gos ,Gasi,Sinus for pointing me in the right Direction when it comes to Finding the correct Tools and information to use ex.

The radar Worked in a way that it projected trajectory of the target where it would end up therefore making it easier to Shoot at it,In order to follow its target the radar locks on and displays a trajectory in your hud where you should shoot.

 

 

That's not the way the gunsight worked on those early jets (like the F-86 series or the F9F series). The gunsight was the simple inertial sight like found on the P-51D and other late WW2 American planes. What you would do is dial in the wing span of the plane you are chasing, and then you'd adjust a knob on the throttle so that the pipper fit over the wing span, giving you the correct distance set for the inertial gunsight. Then, as the range in the dogfight changed, you'd adjust it and fire when it was on the target and the correct size.

 

What planes like the F-86's, F9F's, and F-84E+'s (I see nothing that says that the F-84A -> -84D had it, even as a late model retrofit) did was to tie a simple radar ranging box to the range knob (that changed the size of the pipper), so that the pilot no longer had to adjust the knob on the fly and in the middle of a dogfight. (If the system broke, he could use the knob as a backup to the radar.)

Hi,

 

Do you have any work that can point to 'proof of concept' ? It doesn't have to be this project but any of your previous work that shows it's DCS standard ?

[cubanace]

Have you ended all work with the YF-23A? I don't understand simply from how you claim you will no longer be working on "unclassified" aircraft when you delete all the work of the Black Widow II from your Facebook page. If this is from a bad script, then I don't see why I should take this one seriously.

 

Of course, do PM me if there has been some sort of mistake. ;)

 

YF-23 will continue to be in the works but as a Technology Example, I am missing Flight data and the YF-23 cant be completed without it same as SU-57.

 

The F-84 in the other hand is a aircraft that has war history and documentation like NACA charts,Test Flight Reports,Manuals ex.

 

I have made the Mistake of trying to make Aircraft that were to Classified to make them happen that's the truth,i have come to a point that I want to leave the past behind and start over and create a Aircraft that I would really have a chance making it into DCS someday.

You might be Correct, I have also done some research and looked at the manuals and Technical data and it does state it did had a radar but it does not say how it worked ,it just says ranged radar and that it was a APG-30 paired with ether K-14 or A1-C Gunsight for both bombing runs or rocket use and guns for air to air.

 

 

Seems later models like the D/E and G had those radars only.

 

 

F-84D

J35-A-17D engine, Sperry AN/APG-30 radar-ranging gunsight, retractable attachments for RATO bottles, inboard wing hardpoints made "wet" to permit carrying an additional pair of 230 U.S. gal (870 L) fuel tanks. Most aircraft were retrofitted with F-84G-style reinforced canopies. The fuselage was stretched 15"; the canopy was lengthened 8", the canopy frame was lengthened 12" (accounting for another 4"), and a 3" splice panel was added aft of the canopy. The stretch was not done to enlarge the cockpit but rather to enable a larger fuel tank, provide additional space for equipment under the canopy behind the pilot's seat, and to improve aerodynamics. This can be distinguished from earlier models by the presence of two fuel vents on ventral rear fuselage, the added radar in the nose splitter, and the pitot tube was moved downward from mid-height in the splitter (as on the F-84D) to clear the radar installation. 843 built. F-84E 49-2031 was a test aircraft for air-to-air missiles. F-84E 50-1115 was a test aircraft for the FICON project.

Hi Mizzy,i don't have any Prior Experience Making Official modules,i have done some simple modding for the Past 9 Months ( PAK FA PROJECT) but I do know what I need to Reach Eagle Dynamics Standard Level,this is my First Attempt that has a Possibility for me due to having the needed War record and Data to make the Aircraft.

 

 

DCS Standards

In order to Meet DCS Standards I have to Work Really Hard in making my projects Extremely Good in all areas and ShowCase my work to eagle Dynamics When Ready,Only then I will know if they do indeed Meet the requirements to make it into DCS and Of Course the Community is my Job to Do my best and Bring a great Example to DCS.

Wow, would love to see this in the sim, just so you know you already have my guaranteed purchase of the aircraft.

[assafm25]

I love all your work and must i love is this see your progress in all of this project.

Just one question —> the Mig-27/23 is out of the scope?

Good luck!

 

One step closer to Mig Alley 2!

[Charly_Owl]

Honestly... I think it's a brilliant idea. Bringing the Thunderjet back to life certainly piques my interest.

[cubanace]

MOdel Progress.

 

Progress on the Model Continues,i have Started Working on the Canopy Glass along other parts of the Aircraft.

 

 

Enjoy.

Mark 7 Nuclear Bomb

 

I am Also Making the Weapons For the F-84 ThunderJet,Below is an early Developing Of the Mark 7 nuclear Bomb and cart.

 

 

The F-84 ThunderJet was the first united states Fighter/Bomber to Carry the Mark 7 nuclear Bomb.

But not the D model. The G was the only straight-wing F-84 to carry nukes. I don't mean to be overly critical here, but you really need to work on your research skills...

[Temp89]

mmm, would rather you focused on one plane to completion.

Go back to page #1 and read the Description,sorry for the Miss understanding I just did not want to tittle this post with such a long name so I named it F-84D but in fact I'm making 3 variants,D,E,G says it on page#1 and no worries these are not critics at least your in the look out to helping in some shape or form, By pointing things out That might be Wrong Ex these kinda stuff Helps me to stay on my feet and Fix things that I do miss.

I have stoped all my others projects in order to focus completely on making the F-84 variants ,all the other projects we're classified and lack of data.

With "stoped" do you mean "put on hold for later continuation", or do you mean you've trashed them?

 

With regards to the Su-PAK that is not a big loss, being too secret anyway, but it is sad to see the development of the Su-17 stopped. That would have been a great addition to DCS.
