Hi Flak! Thanx a bunch for this!!! What a great start to the weekend!!
-
Thanks !!!
For plane and new cockpit !
-
Great planes as usual.Thanks again
-
Boy 'o boy! Thank you for a job well done. Strictly four-oh! Now if I can just figure out how to use the JATOs.
-
Strictly four-oh! Now if I can just figure out how to use the JATOs.
Engine = ON
Throttle >= 80%
Speed >= 20 kph
and the JATOs turn on automatically.
(I like the 'computer' on the right side in cockpit), open canopy etc.... ;)
Check the ammo panel, the trim at autopilot, the fuel selector with drop tanks, etc.
S!
-
Thanks Flak, figured it out. You've done a wonderful job.

NiCe Masking Ranwers! 8)

Ok I've found the answer - interference with bomb bay mod - one must open the (unvisible and virtual) bomb bay [by pressing the key affected to power 10%] before pressing the bomb release button. Strange bug but not really a problem for such a great mod!
-
think of it as "pulling the safetypins"
-
Thanks Ranwers! Never bothered me until I saw your screenies :( -- but the fix is much appreciated :)
Cheers
Triad

BTW: as I was looking at the info on Wikipedia I was wondering if anyone was developing the Mk 7 nuke for this beauty?
Triad, see the F-84G-3 Loadout.

I cannot say it better! Congratulations! Many thanks!
I d/l this bird only now, and was enchanted by it. Especially by cockpit, where work so many gauges, including the fuel source switching.
Tried take off and landing on Okinawa map: at landing used airbrakes and it goes like a charm.
Thanks again.

Triad, see the F-84G-3 Loadout.

Inflight refueling?! I think I'm gonna faint! :o :D :D
-
Flak the G3 looks very nice! Can't wait to try inflight refueling :)
I found it very difficult in Jane's USAF
This is getting even more interesting;)
Thank you!

Ok, I've tested it out. I'm getting about 540 mph at low level, no wind, and reasonably trimmed for level flight. Every source I've seen puts the sea level speed at about 600 mph for the E mark, and well over 600mph for the G.

Hi.
SPECIFICATIONS (F-84E):
Span: ......
PERFORMANCE:
Maximum speed: 620 mph
Cruising speed: 485 mph
Range: 1,485 miles
Service ceiling: 43,240 ft.
The top IAS (Indicated Air Speed) speed for a F84G is 540 kts (622 mph, 1,000 km/h). That it is not the maximum speed that can reach the airplane. That is the maximum safe speed to which can fly without problems. If you reach or surpasses this velocity the air compressibility, vibrations, drag, flutter and other factors begin to be declared seriously. If you continue the flight to that velocity can cause structural damage or break of the plane. In aviation that velocity is known as VNE or Never exceed speed. So, an airplane its not like a car, you can get more speed that your engine permit. Did you note the vibrations that suffers the F84 when reaches the 485 KTS, that is an indication that you be about to the VNE.
If your think that the F84´s FM is wrong, you can make a better one. I allow upgrades to my planes.
Best regards, Flak
-
Thanks so much for this mod Flakiten, I'm enjoying it a lot. I was wondering it was possible to get your F84G cockpit into the other F84G and F85F previously released?
-
Does anyone know why the JATO bottles do not appear on certain maps? Can this be fixed? Any suggestions appreciated.
I really don´t know. Maybe the runway elevation.
S!
-
Hey flakiten, is it possible to fix where the JATO bottles on multiplayer remain on the plane during flight? Basically if you fly with a friend and after they've ejected their bottles it's still on their plane and remains there for the duration of the flight. I believe with the Ar-234 your friend's JATO rockets are ejected on your screen too.
Also one last question regarding the F-84G3, I know the mod isn't complete yet for the refuelling thing but would it be possible to have the refuelling covers on the wing of the F-84 to open before you attach? Perhaps like fireball's mod which lets you open bomb bay doors, you can set that to the bomb bay doors rather than at the moment it has bomb bay doors which can be operated but nothing actually happens...
-
A little bug here, any skin for F-84G, when look from farside, wing will show excessively black

Yes I know. Its a bug I can´t solve. My plane used the same class lines of AR234, but don´t work as she.
Also one last question regarding the F-84G3, I know the mod isn't complete yet
It´s ready for my. I think you know more about me than myself ;).

Is not a skin bug, its a mesh bug.

Thank you..great plane....

This is a *beautiful* aircraft - many, many thanks Flakiten! After testing it, and despite being a prop man, I was so impressed that I couldn't resist myself, and built a Campaign called "MUD MOVERS", set in the second half of 1952. Here you have a short and simple promo video:
mud movers.wmv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLAJxRjQihY#)
If anyone out there is interested in playtesting this campaign, just send me a PM! :D

Hi all,
I fixed one bug that has annoyed me since the release of this great bird. That is the misaligned normal under left wing, I mean that dark (white in other situation) area on top of this picture:
(http://koti.mbnet.fi/raukorpi/F84.jpg)
You can download fixed wing meshes here:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/raukorpi/F84G_fix.7z (http://koti.mbnet.fi/raukorpi/F84G_fix.7z)
Just unpack it to your MODS folder and let it overwrite files of Thunderjet mod.
If you use Ultr@Pack, HSFX or other mod pack with Thunderjets included, then just install this fix in your MODS folder like any other mod and it'll fix that bug.
-
Thanks birdman ~S~
-
Just one question: I noticed while the engine is running on the ground, taxing, taking off, that the front wheel bounces a little bit too much. Is that normal whit this bird or? It also happened on F9F but i put new buttons file and is gone now, but remains for this plane. Im on 4.09, UP 2.0, thanks for this beautiful aircraft.

How does yours have afterburner?
GREAT MOD I LIKE ;D

I am currently making a mini-campaign, "13 Days", where the US attacks the missile sites in Cuba instead of quarantining Cuba.
I would like to hack the F-84 into a U-2 being as it's looks the closest to one.
Can anybody point me to a template for this plane or even the void?
Thanks in advance.

https://www.mediafire.com/?5814k8zu2u243wo This is small Gearfix for this plane in 4.12 Extract in your mod folder, agree with replace

Thanks Tarakan, they work Perfectly in MA 5.22

Thank you very much for the update tarakan67, very much appreciated. 8)
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. 8)
-
Thanx for making this available for 4.12. Much appreciated.
-
What model F-84G2 ? Can one of them be renamed to F-84E ?
-
tarakanz, you can rename it whatever you like, mate.
just change the first part of the ini entry to what you want.
that is, if i understand your question properly....
-
By the way, did someone here manage to take-off with a F84G (the first version, without RATO) loaded with 100% fuel + the max droptanks, on a standard concrete runway from the original il2 maps ?
I never, never managed to do that challenge, haha ! This slow ass barely reaches 115kt at the end of the runway, goes on the grass and then...KABOOM :P !
It must be pretty spooky being a F84G pilot at the time...especially at take off !

You have installed the Gearfix for 4.12 by Tarakan67? Link in the first post.
-
Is there a way to remove the tip tanks, as in reality they were not permanently attached, and could be jettisoned like regular tanks I believe.
-
Hi
(http://koti.mbnet.fi/raukorpi/F84.jpg)
How does yours have afterburner?
:-[
is there a patch that give this plane an afterburner-flame
because in my 4.09 i have non too
-
Well, to my knowledge, this plane did not have any, a very early jet engine.
-
Thanks for the Information Tom2 ;)
but would look better if at least it had one small blue flame as the Me 262 :(
-
F-84G was very early Jet Fighter-Bomber, but its engine had an afterburner function.
en-wikipedia says it.
-
hey im having trouble finding mods folder i have ultrapack and stuff and ai flyables but i want to add more but its not just 1946 i have its ultimate edition with il2 fb plus ace expansion pacific fighters and 1946 can someone help plsssssss
-
Ultimate edition was v4.04 (<-- I like that), there are no mods for it.
As for 1946, you need to get to some version and then there is the MODS folder, or #SAS.
For ultrapack, there should be mod folder called #UP, the rest is the same as normal modact...
Also, this question, that is not related to this topic, should have been posted elsewhere. ;)
-
Ultimate edition was v4.04 (<-- I like that), there are no mods for it.
Ah....
That is different generation from 1946.
MODs released in SAS and other sites are almost for 1946 (standalone 4.07m --> updated to 4.09m ~~ 4.13m).
Nothing compatible MODs and ModActivator of 1946 to Ultimate edition, because of generation difference.
conan the bugga:
When you want to play with MODs released here or there, you have to buy IL-2 Sturmovik 1946.

are those able to Refuel from KB-29P?
