Steering Lack of

I can not seem to steer the F-4 like I normally can using my joy stick with other aircraft. I see that there is some kind of desktop control where I can assign
a keyboard or joystick button for the NWS. Can't this thing just steer to the left/right like the other aircraft when I use my joystick?

You can set up NWS on/off as a key or button on the joystic/HOTAS. In the real Phantom NWS is on the stick.
After push NWS You can steer it by pedals like in Cessna ; ).
 
Repaint subject

If anyone is looking for a repaint scheme, I would love to have one of my old wing, the 56th TFW
photos are scarce but I found a couple

Essentially all I want is the default south east asia scheme with MC as the tail code in white as in the first photo.
I don't care for the bicentennial patch or any specific tail number, A blue tail fin stripe would represent my squadron.

The second photo is a bogus gate guard paint job with the wing king multi color stripes and shadowed tail code, but it does show the color blue the tail stripe would be.
 
Is there another link to try. I get a 404 error on the current link, and the F-4 product page is still showing Available Soon!

Thanks



EDIT:


Never mind! I had to paste it into the address bar in the browser. Got it. Thanks again!

Thanks Kat - downloading now. BTW the afterburners are still giving a problem on my rig so I have to use DX9 to phly the Phantom...

PS - Norton 360 shows the mv_mm.exe file (for the ACM) to contain a Trojan and rejects it. Is there any other way to set e.g. the drag chute or NWS??
 
Does the paint kit include the F-4J? If not, how are the F-4J repaints made?

Yes it does. However the paint kit is very large and there are lots of things I will revise in terms of detail, e.g., the national insignia normally had red bars not blue, and the stencil set is for the USAF -E model. That having been said the attention to detail in general is truly epic.

Paintkit Question...

Seems the layered textures for the "J" nose are not in the just released paintkit, #071014. Anyone know if that will that be coming or should we make our own?
