reproduce the error and send me the log, please

[Smilinjack]

FM-Wasted,
I played around and the F-4 works on other maps (using Mission Pro Combo). I uninstalled and re-installed Mission Pro Combo via JSGME, tried the F-4E on the S. Vietnam map and it worked. ??
Throughout the problem, the Eventlog only displayed Mission loaded (or something to that effect) and no entries after that. I'm afraid the log will not be helpful.
The "problem" remaining is that I've noticed that the F-4E will not convince itself to land when using autopilot. Airspeed remains 750+Kph and does not reduce below. When the airspeed reaches app. 750Kph, the plane accelerates and climbs. Result is an endless circle around airfield. You may want to look at that before the "final" release of the aircraft.
Thanks again for your help.

it it AI relative problem. But also depends on when you turn on the autopilot

[Smilinjack]

FM-Wasted,
Don't understand "AI relative problem". Autopilot engaged immediately upon mission start (air start). Other Jets in Jet Pack included in DBW don't appear to have a problem landing under autopilot.
In any event, it's minor and not a show stopper.
You can experience problem by selecting "Red None" mission on S. Vietnam or Okinawa map and engaging autopilot immediately upon starting the mission.

The landing mechanism of auto-pilot and AI has been fixed (for the next patch), they will even deploy drag chute when the gear touch the ground. But remember F-4 are way heavier/bigger/faster than a Sabre. You'll have to give it a larger landing approach way point (a bomber one) or it won't be able to follow it.

First of all, I would like to thank you for bringing to life this great aircraft in IL2.

Are their any plans concerning aerial refueling for the F4? To my understanding most F4's lifting off from carriers with heavy ordnance had to refuel in the air after taking off before reaching their objectives. It would really nice to have this bird connect to the few existing il2 tankers (skyraider and KB-29)

I'm assuming it wouldn't require any extra modeling, looking at these pictures (see below) the F4 could either refuel from a side hatch, or on a dorsal hatch:

Yes, there are plan or arial refueling 

[mojojojo]

the dorsal hatch one looks like it would be the easiest to make.

[S3231541]

E variant will be dorsal, while earlier version will be side with retractable probe ^_^

[US_GRANT]

Just remember, The D model was never flown by the Navy and had Dorsal refueling. The Navy flew the B, J and N  models. Also, S-3, the D model you have would be an early configuration model, but not flown for very long by the Air Force. You might try making a late configuration D with the IR sensor pod under the radome.

Here is a pic with what I am referring too.

Already did that US_Grant. Thanks for the notice. I'm waiting for the new Loadout from wasted and new FM from Vega and I'll release a patch soon 

I'm thinking of making B or J Variant for the Navy, but will use the E cockpit (for now).  Anyone against it?

Cheers,
