just doing some suggestions thats all

 

I got it but this thread is for E variants only (maybe F and some G too) but not for Navy Phantoms (or short nose in general)

Once HB will announce the Navy variant we will all suggest your kind of liveries but for this thread stick to E Phantom.

F-4 Blue Angles? I didn't see one posted above, they was the first time I saw a F-4.null

It would appear you didn't read that this is for F-4E liveries, for the Air Force and countries that operated the F-4E, which those Phantoms are not. 

Now, the Thunderbirds might eventually be seen, but the Blues wouldn't even be considered until a Navy Phantom is produced which is years down the road.

Understandable, it's happened quite a few times through the thread already. We're going to cover most of the common USAF schemes first along with some of the exported models, and over time more will be added as reference photos and such are found for specific jets.

Once the public template comes out I'm sure folks will go wild with fictional schemes, anniversary jets, commemorative schemes, Tiger Meet, demo jets, all that jazz.

I wish I knew how to make them as I just do it my self.

Please could you make also VF-11 Red Rippers squadron skins in early months of 1980 from Navy onboard carrier Forrestal: this will be very appreciated.

And why not skins of VF 74 Be Delivers too?

1978

1981

Thanks

I can't wait for the naval Phantom either but as stated previously, this thread is for F-4E skins only so USAF.  There will more than likely be another livery section when HB are ready to make the Navy version.

[Sup_Bigans]

@Stackup: don't worry, if they put a working tail hook, I'll land it on a carrier even if is a "E" version.

Hi, I know this is Fgr.2 Rolls version but this RAF paint job suits it!

those two machines is next to each other at the museum now.

[Mikep821]

Here they are..

how about a VMFA-333?

Umm, yes please

[JOYFUL_CLOVR]

I'd love to see some JASDF liveries even though we are getting a US version (like how the f16 has the JASDF blue liveries in game).

As a Japanese I also like this liveries.

There is a lack of Korean F-4s. I will fix this with my face. Voila:

*proceeds to use face to insert Korean F-4 pictures*

 

Spoiler

 

 

Also, here's some Egyptian ones.

I can't imagine not having Korean F-4 as some of the first livery. They will probably come right after we see livery for the F-4F, Naval F-4, British F-4, and Iranian F-4. I guess it also depends on what skins we get one release.

that does beg the question... how do DCS skins work, anyway? Sorry if that sounds stupid- I've literally never had a DCS module before and the F-4E is my primary motivating factor for a purchase.

[LanceCriminal86]

Skins can come one of two ways, either directly from the dev provided in the main install with the aircraft, or downloaded/installed from the user files in a folder that will read and display them.

Right now the general goal is that the main countries that operated the F-4E and its variants will have represented skins available. HB is not going to be making separate versions of each exported F-4E systems wise but at the least skins for those operators should suffice. Once the later E comes along some skins could be shifted around to better represent the systems of those export models but we're nowhere near crossing that bridge quite yet.

Some nations added dual language stencils so there would need to be some research done there, tracking down various squadron logos/stencils beyond just a plain jet with say Korean roundel on it. Probably there will be more generic/dynamic skins available for things like dynamic numbers, and separately detailed specific airframe skins, anniversary schemes, farewell jets, demo teams, etc. I'd expect basics at launch, whenever that's going to be with more schemes and squadrons added over time.

[RevampedGrunt]

Countries that had only specific variants for the F-4 or F-4E (Such as Japan and I think Australia that didn't have the Agile Eagle setup) will probably only user skins if HB decides to keep official livery as close to realistic as possible. It'd be odd to have naval skins on the E for instance, but as I said before, people will most likely make skins for them to make up for the lack of a naval phantom for now.

Yep, we didn't use Agile Eagle.

We had the opportunity. we didn't because... I don't know. We didn't procure sparrows or any Sidewinders above the B-variant either, our F-4s were fully meant to be unguided bomb trucks.

Oh, and- would skins that I add show up server-side? or would they be client only?
