I have a question before downloading the Virtavia Phantom F-4 for fsx,will Carrier ops such as catapulting,and arresting work?Thanks

Yes, that will work. Perhaps you'll have to add the cat launch entry.

Not anymore. I deleted the Virtavia Phantom from my drive as I have the Milviz and the SimWorks version.... and this one was a bit redundant. :untroubled:

Does the updated versions on Simviation have any benefits over the original ones from the Vitavia site?,and will this make a difference when installing the upgraded cockpits from here on the warbirds library?

Ive try'd some of the Simvation upgrade's and im afraid i dont rate them much, i wouldn't bother with them, your best bet is the panel upgrade's by Jafo, here in the SOH library, lights and afterburner improvements are also included in the panel package's, and you might want to check out Nigel Richards F-4 sounds, originally for FS9 but works perfect in FSX :encouragement:

OK,I need some help installing jafos panels,I am a little confused with these instructions.( replacement panels are one pack of 2 for the Virtavia/Alphasim F-4 Phantom II Pack 3.
They suit the models listed as..
panel.RF4E ->
model.1=RF4E
model.4=RF4C
model.6=RF4C
model.9=RF4E2
model.12=RF4B-C LATE ... all with VCs with twin radar screens.
panel.RF4B ->
model.11=RF4B Early ONLY ---- it has a slightly different gauge layout, but different enough to warrant its own panel.) The aircraft.cfg only has model 0-9,where are 10,11,and,12? Thanks

Ok,I have,I have noticed that when in the cockpit,the reflection in the canopy glass shows a gauge that has been removed,is there away,I can tweak the transparency?,and also when launching from the cats,the nose seems to to lean to much foward,and the when trapping the F-4 always seems to spin out,any fix for that,also?BTW great job on the cockpits jafo,this bird is very enjoyable to fly,But still trying to get the hang of trapping.Thanks
