Many many thanks to Mark Harper and the folks at Virtavia for releasing these as freeware. I have been longing to fly a great Phantom...and though the older ALphasim FS2002 Double Uglies have been doing the job...they pale in comparison to these new Phantoms.

I have the package installed already and have already crashed into the desert sands of Edwards AFB! In a full function 3D cockpit...full afterburner, nose dive into a cactus bed. It doesn't get any better than that!

...and ten minutes later pruning my orchard, scaring the whits out of my wife, cows and chickens... but by now, they're courting a pair of F-16's who are trying to crawl up their afterburners...Smoothie's not exaggerating, these boys are good! Very good!.

:running:off to get the Phantom pack. Thanks for the tip Frank Safranek.
 
Most generous of Virtavia / Alphasim ... Indeed, thanks for the H/U Frank ! Mike :ernae:

And for some superb repaints, head over to Avsim and search "pierre lheureux" ... many high-quality liveries ...:salute:

...Streuth!...nice adrenalin shots!
I'll settle for Sminarchos. Great honour! If you need a hand with the resprays Smoothie, happy to assist. Pretty nifty with an airbrush and a ooo sable. Thanks for the beer mate: and the tsipouro is on my slate if ever you're in my neck of the woods!
Cheers!
 
Great news! I have wanted a Phantom, but did not have money to spend for payware. Now I can enjoy these great planes. Great generosity!

Any nice JASDF paints are available? :wiggle:
 
An incredibly generous gesture, thanks Mark in the first instance & all at Alphasim/Virtavia.

I got these when they were hot off the press, some of the best use of my hard earned I have ever made! Snap 'em up guys.
 
These Phantoms are wonderful....with the exception of No 13...the RF-4E Greek Riat one....for some reason, whenever I select that plane, every tree within a hundred miles turns into an FS4 style green blob and the ground texture looks like something a cow spit out twice. I can go down the list to the RF-4E Clean version, which uses the same texture as No 13 and it has no ill effect on my sim. None of the others do...just that No 13 Greek RIAT RF-4E.

Frame rates are a bit lower than what I normally see....18 to 19 FPS compare to 24 to 25 FPS. I have disabled the HUDs and Radars with no improvement. Will spend some time finding out what gauge(s) are behind the reduced frame rates on my system and replace them with ones I know are frame rate friendly.

Most likely there's a texture file in there that was saved as DXT1 and not DXT3 as was used in those days. Or it had mip maps turned on for some reason. The effect that has on the scenery was not an uncommon occurance. Load something else first and then go to external view. Then load No 13 and see if the scenery goes wanky after flying in spot view for a while and from all angles. If still good go inside the cockpit and look all over the VC (skipping the 2D panel because it is used in more than one aircraft). Then look at the scenery and see how it looks. If it is now messed up the problem is an interior texture. At least that will narrow down the files to be checked.

I downloaded it, but can't run the program. It says the installation package could not be opened.
Verify the package exists and that you can access it. Any ideas?
