The paint kit will be released soon. I'm sure there will be plenty of liveries posted in the User Files

Hopefully, someone could do these two Royal Australian Air Force skins for the F -4E when the new model releases. The Phantom was provided as a capability gap while waiting for the F-111 to be delivered. There is one at the museum at RAAF Point Cook. While I was doing Officer training, I sometimes helped at the museum, and wow, I didn't realise how big this aircraft was until standing next to it.

Cheers!

Anyone know the correct Livery pholder name please?

It's the same procedure for every DCS module: just look at what the module is called in your DCS\Mods\aircraft folder, and create a folder with the same exact name in Saved Games\DCS\Liveries.

Request for OD ALQ-131 color to go with JASDF skins, as JASDF service jammers are/were OD and not white.

Good catch. I actually made the OD 131 (it's on the Grey 301st) but forgot to apply it to the other JASDF Jets. Will fix!

WILL 111 PANTER BE ADDED?

Not at my PC to check, but could we copy the relevant line in that description.lua file to other JASDF birds for a temporary fix?

What a great module the F-4 is!! well done Heatblur!! I also love the fact that from the start there are a lot of liveries available!! But if possible I really would like to have some more:

- Luftwaffe F-4F ICE Norm 90J, with the beige nose cone instead of the black one 
- Luftwaffe F-4F HO coded scheme operated by the 49th TFW at Holloman
- Luftwaffe F-4F 50 yrs WTD61 orange special
- Luftwaffe F-4F 50 yrs JG71
- USAFE 32nd FS SEA scheme
- USAFE 81st TFS EUR ONE scheme
- more USAFE schemes/units in general in case we get an european cold war map
- PN coded F-4E in SEA and grey scheme


Keep up the great work!
 

Ben decided not to include the ICE jets for now, and the Holloman jets were later TISEO/DMAS serials which will of course be done when that addition comes along. 81st TFS, again DMAS jets.

I think we already have a lot of special/demo jets but the rest of the 32nd and 3rd TFS are certainly ones we'd like to do.

Yes of course.

Not sure if someone requested this one already, but I would love to see a lovely F-4E with the CR marking; as it was part of the USAF 32nd TFS 'Wolfhounds', stationed at Soesterberg air base in the Netherlands.

Thank you!

Happy to add it!
Really good looking, fresh paintjob! Also whats funny is that they put all the Warning and other Stencils around the Nose but not all over the rest of the jet. Usually, the factory painted jets had ALL the Stencils and later it went down to only important ones and / or Panel Numbers. Or none at all.

Thank you for the pictures, saved

It would be absolutely fantastic to have both, 38+13 and 37+15 in their final liveries of the WTD 61 test unit as those were the last two Phantoms to ever fly in the German Airforce, bringing an end to decades of service and thus very important to fans of the German Phantoms. They were allowed to fly on a little bit longer after the official retirement due to belonging to the special test unit and the unit put on two very memorable farewell flights with 38+13 being the final German Phantom to ever fly. I was personally very lucky to be there in person for both farewell flights so having these two in DCS would be truly special for me.

 

 

Did you already know of that?

Hi

I was so surprised with the british skin for a F-4E that I wonder if anybody can make another non historical phictional skin for the only F-4 Phantom operator not presented in the module...

Thanks

Not perfect but it is a good starting point

A repair will repair my DCS install also which is what I don't want to do. Thanks for the reply.  TC

Man, even if he flew a "C" version, I would love to see Brig.Gen Robin Olds "SCAT XXVII" plane !

Anyone willing to do some south african buccaneer skins for the F-4?
