FSX RAF McDonnell F-4J Phantom 74 Sqdn 1985

This is a repaint of the excellent Milviz F-4J representing an RAF F. 3 from No. 74 Squadron based at Wattisham in Suffolk. ZE361 (P) (Bu. No. 155734) was one of 15 F-4J's refurbished in the US for RAF use to replace Phantoms sent to the Falklands for air defense in 1983. They equipped 74 Sqdn. from 1985 to 1990 when they were replaced by FGR. 2's withdrawn from other units. 361 subsequently spent time as an instructional airframe at RAF Honington before being scrapped in 2000. Two versions of this repaint are supplied; as originally delivered in two-tone grey overall, and with the black-painted fin more usually associated with 74 Sqdn. Phantoms. By Dave Quincey.

Two versions of this repaint are supplied; as originally delivered in two-tone grey overall, and with the black-painted fin more usually associated with 74 Sqdn. Phantoms.

Installation:

• Unzip the file and move the folder 'texture.74Sqdn' to your Milviz Phantom II directory. If you want to install the black fin copy and paste the two files in the folder 'Black Fin' into the 'texture.74Sqdn' folder, overwriting when asked. Alternatively you can make a copy of the whole folder 'texture.74Sqdn', rename it something else, e.g. 'texture.74SqdnBlack' and copy and paste the two files into this folder. You will then have both variants available.
• Finally copy and paste the following lines into the 'aircraft.cfg' file after the last variant, replace the xx with the next variant number and save.
