As mentioned folks, I no longer enter debates into such things, and the reasoning for that is clear by the exchange here. The images grabbed from 3D models on Turbosquid are presented in an orthographic 3D fashion, which is mostly used in the design phase and is not true 3D ( best used for side, overhead, front and back when building models ) so they're not representative of any model's true shape. Also, some of the "evidence" used compares noses of entirely different variants with each other, hardly a great example of what they "should" be. As I already posted an image of my F-4E against a true orthographic image F-4E to show how closely the nose is shaped to the real thing, there is no further debate needed there. In addition, neither the C nor D models are featured in the package and my own screenshots featured here, while zoomed as best I can, tend to warp the nose of an aircraft slightly at most angles. I have two former F4 Phantom crews helping with the models - neither has suggested they're inaccurate in any way. That doesn't mean they aren't out - or that they can't be tweaked in the future, but I already mentioned such things. Likewise, the disingenuous comments about putting a "washing machine" instead show why I no longer bother much with social media debate about these sorts of things, people deliberately take any comment out of context in order to form an entirely irrelevant opinion. Likewise, liveries are not model shapes.As noted, my products improve over time, again already mentioned. Everything I've ever launched for flight sim kicks off with a product to please the masses, not the perfectionists in any sense at all. Refinements then follow in updates that increase detail and accuracy in ever greater measure. It's a business model that has been so successful that I have been able to effectively retire at just 50 years old ( I still work of course, as I love the work, but I no longer need to ). Internet debates tend to become endless, hence why I have gradually removed myself from most forums as there is little business requirement for it any more - the marketplace itself shows me what the audience wants, and 90% + certainly are more than happy with my products. That's how successful businesses run - you "listen" to the silent majority, not the vocal minority.
