Milviz F-4E Phantom II

[fsafranek]

So, any news about TacPack support in Milviz's F-4? Is it be included?

I expect it will. They'd never hear the end of it from this crowd if it didn't.


Please consider also doing an early version with no wing slats and the original short cannon fairing. To an ARC like me JJ279 (The Wrecking Crew) just looks wrong in the images shown. Thanks in advance.

I like the very dirty cocpit... :

YIP like that indeed, looking forward to this one, some reason always been a Phantom fan rather Tomcat, just something about them

Amazing cockpit. May look dirty to some but it is just well used to me. Looking at it takes me back in time. Remember the times when closing the canopy to keep the weather out while running up the RHAW system and the ALQ119 pod. Remembering driving the jammer and loading pods in the sparrow wells just as this model shows. Anxiously looking forward to flying the "Bent Wing Bug Sucker".

Nope, Hardly dirty, just ready for action. I am amazed by the authentic wearing we are seeing in flightsim aircraft.
Very nice!

Same here Jim, I spent many hours with the canopy shut for the same reason while trying to troubleshoot a bad relief valve for the canopy system. If you remember, cold weather played hell with the air system and we'd get called out to pry open the canopies manually and muscle them up so we could put the struts in place. Hated that cause it was always cold, windy and early in the morning and we were just gettin' our coffee, lol.

Nice lookin cockpit though.

It looks like very near finish but perhpas 1-2 months still? Dont know. Id like to wait a little more if They will add TacPack on the finish way.

[YoYo]

Btw.

as Colin said:

"We will be going to beta on this on Friday.

No other comments on any subjects will be answered at this time."

So more info perhaps in the Friday! Maybe about TP too. Perhaps they do F-4 now as You can see, but They will planned a TacPack upgrade too? We will see in the end of this week.
Good to know!

Amazing work there

I love the F-4.......and I know that it has been stated that it is an early F-4E variant, and with that I do hope that at some point they may update so that ANG unit paints can be done. As it is right now.....I would most likely fit ANG/AFRES paints to it but couldn't use the centerline tank as they used the F-15 style fuel tanks.

Also, since this is an early variant......will they be doing the early style gun muzzle? this would be awesome to do a Thunderbird with.

Canopy still looks a bit oversized.

That said.....I am looking forward to this one.

Here is a former Tbird aircraft in camo paint but still retaining its white wings. This was at this time a test wing bird, it also retained the old style centerline tank, and wrap around paint.

[YoYo]

Yep, agree, fantastic work. Crg!!! Just need TacPack combination (yes, I know Im boring with this, but Im crazy about TP :- D). Here was a simple systems .

CAUTION: Phantom Sea Story: I spent many years at NAS Lemoore, CA. In the 1980s, F-4s would sometimes stop by for some touch-n-go practice at the nice long runways we had there. In the 1980s, Lemoore was an A-7E base, so Phantoms were unusual, a bit. Touch-n-go practice went on all day at Lemoore, mostly by the Corsair's based there. While they were doing carrier landing practice (FCLP), the pattern was a basic one, take off, climb to pattern altitude, then make a gentle sweeping turn to down wind, etc. These USAF Phantoms would do it different. After touching down, they would take off for the next attempt, but they would combine the climb to pattern altitude with the turn to down wind into one powerful “modified 45 degree offset immelman turn”. It was cool as hell to watch, with all that black smoke, and that mournful moaning F-4 sound. Air Force show offs! F-4s are cool, whatever version. This one looks about right to me...

In the late 80's when I went back in the Reserves, Carswell had F-4C/D models and then eventually went to the "E" models before we transitioned to the F-16. I worked Egress and saw a ton of work on these over the years and this model looks like I remember as well. Loved the Phantom.

What tailcode did Carswell have.......TX? The TX birds had a very cool gray/gray scheme on the D's and E's.....always liked them.

Yes, it was TX.
