[h=2]Product Description[/h]The IRIS Phantom Superpack was developed back in 2005 for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight.
Like most of the Classics range, this aircraft is still fantastic fun, and a nostalgic look back at some of the early days of IRIS Flight Simulation Software.

I agree Motormouse, I was an Egress Specialist on F-4C-E's. Every time they had to change a battery (imagine how often that happened, lol) we had to pull the "bucket". . .during the winter I lost count of how many times the Crew Chiefs would call for us to come out and open the canopies (the pneudraulic system had a tendency to lose pressure in cold weather). Still it was a favorite of mine. . .big, loud and fast, lol.:salute:
 
For those that don't know, the aircraft main batteries were located in rear cockpit, under the side console.
Access required removal of all or part of ejection seat, which is what Falcon is alluding to.

Oh, and the canopy actuator air leaks during winter season, or fod in the hellhole, and knocking of the that switch on the throttle will pulling buckets, just to name a few.
 
I'll bet working on them was a pain in the a$$, but when needed for close air support, they were most impressive. When a pair of 'em were dropping "high drags" from a dive they were very welcome.

I guess the worst maintenance we'll now have to pull on these Phantoms is removing the hard drive or video card on occasion. :jump:
 
Looking forward to this big time, ive got the Cloud9 version for late model Rhino's, Greek, German, JSDF ect, The Virtavia model for short nose USN/MARINE/AF and photorec models, and now Iris which deals with all the RAF/Royal Navy versions, be intresting to see how they all compare.
My Toom worlds complete :jump:
cheers ian

PS, got Nigels sounds waiting
 
Sweet memories... It was one of my 1st FS9 addons, still have the files. I bought it in 2005 when it was included in the Royal Armed Forces Virtual U.K. Fighters Double Pack: "Designed by members of the Royal Armed Forces Virtual (http://www.rafvirtual.org) and distributed by DSB Design, this new product features two of Britain's most loved aircraft. The Buccaneer S.2B and Phantom FG.1 & FGR.2."
 
I purchased the IRIS/DSB Phantom Pack (back then, payware) and still have it on a CD somewhere. I wonder if the upcomming freeware release is the same gig, or if IRIS has jazzed it up a bit. One of the things I remember the most about the IRIS "Tooms" was that they were real screamers in FS. Excellent frame rates and knock out gorgeous visual models. Not to mention that they were a blast to fly too.

That was their first Phantom package, later they did two seperate packages with VC's.
 
yeah, gotta love the 'Tooms! Germany Retires theirs this year, Korea and Japan Retire theirs in 2014-2018 (if i recall), Iranian ones are mostly scrapped now (again if i recall)... that leaves the Polemikh Aeroporia.... who have no plans to retire the things before about 2020-2025 if memory serves... my last flight in a Mil aircraft was a Polemikh Aeroporia RF-4E, and i've got to say they were the happiest 45 minutes of my life, apart from the pilot doing everything he could to make me throw up... low over water (20ft or so) at high speed, just below Mach, to over land under 100ft and same speed, playing with the terrain, he nearly managed it when he jammed on the airbrakes and yanked back stick... Decelleration + Rapid Pitch = searching for eyeballs after they fire forward out the sockets and then as the G hits they find the floor, many fond memories from Greece too of F-4E's and RF-4's racing around (lived under flightpath for Larissa AB as a kid) so i used to see and smell that smoke quite often...

Falcon, I'd forgotten you were an Egress Mech. During my 4.5 yrs of broken service with the USN, I was temporarily with the 181st TFG Indiana ANG. They sent me to the USAF Egress Mech school at Chanute. What I remember most was the way the USAF treated their E5s. I was an E5 at the time, and of course all the other students were E1/E2. I was treated like an E7!

And the Phantom was my favorite aircraft too, from that era. Got many backseat rides in them, while stationed at Pax River in the mid 1970s. The feeling of those afterburners kicking in against your back was an incredible sensation! NC
