Oh man, someone had the idea before me. I guess I'm just a poser now. My hat's off!!

Someone's going to have a serious announcement to make today, and we'll have ruined it.:friday:

[Mithrin]

I didn't fall for this obviously. Saw it coming from a mile out. Didn't get excited at all really. Yawn...

Yeah right!!

[Vigilius]

The first post that I've read today and it's a joke.... unfortunely :karate:

[warchild]

Woah, I didn't know the phantom was so maneuverable!

Well, intentional by esign or not, the f-4 was a very unstable aircraft. One flaw in it was exploited by one pilot in nam when as he was being chased by a mig 21 he managed a backflip which gave him the advantage in the fight..

[Bone]

OK, you got me....

[Prowler1111]

..and then we get RickRoll´d!! c´mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Navy Chief]

The Phantom. Looks fast and mean, just sitting on the flight line in chocks. It was one bad a..s aircraft. Fun to fly in the backseat too!!!!

[guzler]

Rick Astley built my dad's shed before he got famous !!!

And it was a good one too, it's still going !!!

[Bjoern]

Geez, and here I was thinking "well, it's April 1st...and I have no better ideas for a joke than this totally lame one".

Turned out it wasn't so lame at all. :costumes:

Where?

[BananaBob]

Where?

He must be referring to the F4U, LOL! :173go1:

[dhazelgrove]

Of course, there's always the IRIS offering. Admittedly, it isn't a J79-engined beast - but it is native FSX.
Perhaps if we all make enough noise IRIS might produce a "J"? Just think of the repaint opportunities.....

Dave

[tigisfat]

I do'nt think the IRIS is native FSX.

[SolarEagle]

Where?

Just had to get in on the fools day fun! :rapture:

[Quixoticish]

Two and a half hours too late for that I'm afraid.

I beg to differ! though I have no idea how you quoted me like that! I'll have to settle for an image.

It was only 8:32pm when I posted!

PROOF!

Welcome to the world of time differences. It was past 2 in the afternoon here on the 2nd when I read it!

Hmmmmmmmmm..
Zohh,, You Vhant a J zzzeventy nine engine do you???
:::LOL:: let me get my new mobo in later today and talk with dave about it.. perhaps we can do something just for you guys :D.. no promises but i'll do my very best.. Sides, the f-4 in the pic i posted earlier is the Iris FG-1 naval version.. doesnt have the box on the tail, annnd i'd enjoy the challenge of making an f-4 that really could do a back flip

If you want the RWR pod on the tail (fitted to Royal Navy F-4s post 1976) you need to use one of the models from the RAF FG.1 pack - making sure that the one you choose isn't one with the recce pod fitted, as the RN never used them. I'd use the "B"-fit, personally.

Dave

[warchild]

thanks dave.. truth told though, i'm just a number cruncher. dont know a thing about the model itself, only the fde, but i'll give the very best of my efforts..

[dhazelgrove]

Here's the AS F-4J after a bit of porting:

Here's the AS F-4J after a bit of porting

Just curious why you would port when you have your scenery settings that low anyways? Why not just use it in FS9? :kilroy:

[warchild]

Welll, just to be fair to th gentleman above, these fs9 f-4s work quite well in fsx. Naturally glass textures need to have their alpha channels reversed and the default view in the panel.cfg file needs to be adjusted, but, they look and fly great.. Here's a couple examples of ported f-4s from my own version of fsx. again, this is windows 7, dx-10 is not being used. scenery settings are well, they arent low..
Firts up, the Iris FGR-2 navy version with my own paint representing one of the aircraft that was stationed at my base in vietnam..

Simple. I want your attention on the aircraft, not the scenery.
