God do I wish I had the real seat of one, let alone the money to build the rest of the pit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lucked into getting the seat at an affordable price. Just good timing. It was 95% complete as seen in that pic. It is about 98% complete now. A lot of the parts are hard to get these days as ARMAC stopped releasing surplus parts from them . They are all shredded now days. I hope to have it 100% complete one day. Just have to find the remaining few parts I need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost had a rocket pack for it a few weeks ago but missed out on it. I will find one eventually . I will just have to wait for one to show up for sale.

Tengu Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) At 0:55, I see tail code JJ 279. From a ZOTZ decal sheet, this is Wreckin' Crew. 67-0279 Block 34. First flight in June 1968. Transferred to 388th TFW 34th TFS. Based in Korat, Thailand in 1969. Presumed lost to AAA over Laos June 30, 1970. Photo below looks like it might be from one of the Squadron books. (It's not from the decal sheet I mention above.) The HB FAQ does say the classical version would be block 36-45 before anyone takes this YT video becomes an admission of an imminent Thailand-Laos-Vietnam map. (Assuming the hype train hasn't already achieved escape velocity.) Edited January 27, 2022 by Tengu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucked is right, granted I don't have the money to spend on original aircraft parts (as much as I would rather be remade for sim use than scrap yard), otherwise I would be putting together a whole simpit with original parts rewired to function correctly. As it is, home built for me, for now. Do you know where I can find any of the dimensions of that freaking h-7 ejection seat? Martin Baker doesn't show the dimensions on their website, despite offering to rebuild/revitalize them for operators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all the manuals for them and I am sure they are in there and will get them for you. If there is any info you need at all about the seat I can provide it. I also do have one panel for the F-4 that is complete. Its the Panel with the Jettison button and Land gear indicators on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, but I am working (kind of sorta) with another in regards to the left hand panels, it is the damn seat and center/right panels that elude my grasp (along with anything rio/wso/gib wise duh). Just want to make it as accurate as possible to my budget, so I am deciding which panels to make first for each. Link to that discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew8604 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 As to WHEN it might come out as Early Access: I would hope for a response from HB such as... They are aiming for October 2022. If they encounter difficulties with development, it could slip to as far out as April 2023 or more. If everything goes well, possibly even September 2022. And that they will TRY to give us an update the last week of every month, until then. Even if to say, "Progress continues."...with a picture of some part of the aircraft to keep us pacified. Something like that. Just my guessing/example here, I know nothing about the actual timeline!! But if they tell us something like this, then we'd know from the start what time period we're looking at and even the chance it could take significantly longer. And if it is going to be ready in July, just keep telling us October and then surprise us! Thanks, HB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pally Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 To Heatblur team: You all are freaking amazing! I saw your logo, then the video showing the wingtip dihedral of a jet... It is YOU that will bring on the F-4! Oh My Goodness. Also that guitar, I hope the soundtrack will be another kickass one, brother! Looking forward growing old with Heatblur for real!
