No, it's just a different technique needed. You have to fly by the aoa indexer, keeping constant rate of descent
@ 150 knots ias, flaps down, speedbrakes out and high power. Think of it as trying to catch a wire on a carrier, it's a no flare landing.

If you go to Avsim, search a Phantom package done by Kazunori Ito and Nick Karatzides, was for 02 originally, but ok in 2004.
Nick was a F4 pilot in Greek air force, package includes a how to land an F4 tutorial.

My first post on this forum, so i wanted to say hello.

Some fun flying above Austria with the North American B-25 Mitchell after reinstalling a classic fs2004.

Everything looks great :sneakiness:

Hey Pete,

What do you use for water textures and other liquidness? what does your lakes and tropicals look like? you seem to have hit the spot for oceans.

OO, now you're asking... I've modded and tweeked so much I've lost track of what I have and haven't done, but basically I started with
the most recent sets by Bill Lyons and separately Peter Wilding (all available at Flightsim.com in misc. section) , then added different env maps until I found one that I liked, and same for the OceanHeightField.bmp (which gives you the waves motion); all a bit of trial and experimentation really. The main thing to note is what looks good on my system won't necessarily look same on yours, different graphics cards process differently, as do the monitor/screen display them.
