YES!!! Agree! NC
 
Hey,

I bought the Beta-Phantom and wow, what great model. And a excellent performer fps wise.

Is there a manual out for the Sim yet ? (I downloaded the manuals from Milviz, but these are copies of the original OMs with no reference to the simulation)

I'm making a ton of new static objects for the Solomon scenery :)

Now, that is great news. Was just flying out there in Corsairs and Hellcats This has to be one of the most transformational sceneries (payware included) ever for FSX. Totally immersed and imagining it is 1943. Spot endless little details and features changing the default landscape - they are everywhere - that can only be the imagination and work of one individual. Appreciate all the hours and effort.

Mark, no manual for the FS version out yet, but most of the ones listed help. I found the USAFTPS Phantom Guide to be a quick read with all the numbers I need to know to fly it safely.
 
Thanks guys, nice to see that people still enjoy the Solomons. It's coming into it's years though and needs a big overhaul. But before that rolls out I have a little surprise on hand :)


Back on topic, I see, no manuals yet. I thought I missed something because I had a little hiatus from simming due to other projects.


Cheers,

External difference between F-4F and F-4E

Wow! I don't remember seeing the Luftwaffe Phantoms posted. Great looking pics! Externally, how different is the F-4F versus the F-4E? I know they were not equipped to fire the AIM7 and later received upgrades to fire the AIM120. Anyway, I really am looking forward to this release and wish they would consider an RF-4C variant too......great plane from a great development team.

Externally the F-4F had the slatted wing, but a non-slotted tailplane as on the F-4E.

Thanks Storm. This thread really helped spark my memories as a child, seeing these magnificent smoking beasts regularly breaking sonic barriers and rattling many dishes in good ol sunny Zweibrucken and Holloman AFB. Albeit, they were RF-4s in sunny Zweibrucken. I remember the coolest overflight was during a REFORGER exercise in 1976, going to school in a very comfy German bus, halted for a REDFOR column to cross a local intersection and seeing these 2 smoking trails in the sky, just above tree top level, conducting a mock strafing run/weapons drop on the column. Then a second later, the incredibly loud afterburners and a boom as the Phantoms broke contact. It was great growing up around all that heavy metal.

Apologies for the OT remarks, but I'm so looking forward to this release, especially this development team and all the fantastic paints already being brought forth. Thank you painters/beta testers and MILVIZ. I now know what I'll ask Colin to discount from the Strike Eagle price drop a few years ago....this baby!

N/P Matt. Simming allows one to relive some great experiences and keep them fresh.

Cheers,
