Antonio Diaz keeps putting out great paints for the nav air birds.

Pretty aircraft and a great screen , pity Cloud9 stuck to FS9 , guess be a couple year before we see A2As F4

It's going to be a long wait, I think it will be a instant success when it comes out that's for sure

WHY don't we have a native Rhino...??? why - I ask us

I mean LOOK at that beautiful beastie

born to kickass

This is the Alphasim Phantom ported to FSX using Don's panel available here in the SOH Library.

I have this and fly it all the time but would really love a more involved one, never got the cloud 9 one but we really need the same for fsx

Next to the F-14 the F-4 is my second favorite jet. I will echo the sentiment of being sad that Cloud9 did not update theirs to FSX native. I was always crossing my fingers that it would get updated. Never know what the future holds though. Have only seen a functional F-4 once in my life at an airshow, and that display will stick out in my mind for the rest of my life. Even after seeing the F-22 demo 2 weeks ago I still think the F-4 demo is the most impressive one I have ever seen. Luckily I live up the street from Langley AFB so I get to see F-4's on sticks all the time. By far my favorite F-4 vid too here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmXvQqEcJZ8 Whenever we get one in FSX I so want to remake this in sim. Back to dreaming and waiting.

FYI if you guys like the video that are is Pyramid Lake off of Nellis AFB. It actually looks pretty close to that in FSX.

Growing up just south of Miramar NAS, and being in the US Air Force from 69-73, TAC, I spent a LOT of time around F-4 Phantoms. Seeing the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds both perform was the highlite. Loud was an understatement. Only thing louder was the SR-71. The F-18 comes close, but it's different, believe me. A good ear can easily tell the difference.

I am eagerly awaiting A2A's "'Toom."

[VCN-1]

It would be fantastic to get a true FSX bird that resembled this.

This is a Cloud 9 example that seems to work well in FSX except I don't have a VC.


VCN-1

Hmm I have a vc in FSX but a lot of stuff doesnt work. Sits in my hangar. Long nose F4F variant doesn't suit my USN brds but external model looks brill In USAF camo.

[delta_lima]

The Iris port-over suits my Royal Navy fancy well enough, though I despise the fact that in the VC, the stick sits squarely in front of the HSI ...

...

I still enjoy the Pack 3 RF-4B version the best of them all - had the fewest screwy portover issues (chinks in the VC that allowed you to see the exterior, stuff like that). I too would enjoy a B/J model if one was ever produced native for FSX, as my slant is more toward the USN/USMC birds than the C/D/E/F models. Maybe I'll dig up the B model, and see if I can't get all the fixes Don and crew put together to work properly ... kudos to them for extending the life of an FS9 model as best they could .... Certainly Antonio D, Gus R, Russell S, Michael P, and a number of others have done some stellar repaints for them. Duckie (from here in SOH, aka Steve Bryant) did a phenomenal round of USMC birds. They were featured in the FS2004 forum, so in case you guys missed it ... they're superb!

I backseated this one to Top Gun back in May '75; http://www.boeing.com/companyoffices...f4/f43901.html

This is my FSX rendition of that plane using the Pack 1 Virtavia bird and a modified Steve Bryant(Ducky) texture set;



I still tweak a little on it and one of these days I'll get the consoles sorted out a little better and redo the main VC panel to be more real...Don

DL have you - or anyone else - got the radar screens to display anthing on the photo-phantom? I can't find anything to switch on and always get two dark circles with all avionics on.

No Ex, I haven't. I'm usually not hung up on working radar on most FSX a/c, so it doesn't bother me. Maybe I would find it more of an issue on the fighter versions.

I couldn't find a good round RADAR or other gauge for the smaller one on the left. but, filled the vacancies with a smaller version.
Like the 2D, click R/L works...Don
