Thought I would start a thread that details the paint schemes for the upcoming Milviz F-4 Phantom.

I'm really enjoying this thread, even if it's sometimes a little off topic to the original intent above.

You have some absolutely beautiful paints, Tom ... so where can I find/download them (if you've made them available).

Thanks,

Gene K
 
Gene, many have been submitted to Milviz for release with the finished product. Those not used with the release will be posted for upload here or at Flightsim.com. Thanks for the comment.

Indeed... The thing has become almost unflyable. I wonder what a driver like the late Brig.Gen. Robin Olds would have to say about that.

When I was young and still visiting airshows all over europe, I saw many F-4 demo's and these pilots turned HARD below mach 1 Full burner, but still below Mach 1. The German F-4F demo's were most impressive.

With the new version, this isn't possible anymore.

I hope this gets corrected. The roll rate seems more like that of a T-38 than that of a Phantom.

The modelling corrections are nice though.

And yes, I know, we have to take this up on the milviz forums... *sigh*

Hi,

I have just asked Colin to try this and, for him at least, he was able to fly at burner below mach 1 whilst in a very hard turn. He did nearly black out though and that's the point. In hard turns, where lift is needed, the slats auto open. This creates an immense amount of G force (1G approx). This is what causes the blackout.

If this is what you mean, then it's right.

As well, with three (3) actual, verified Phantom pilots (one of whom flew F-4F's) we're pretty sure we're getting it right. If you wish, feel free to take it up with them but if you check published materials (we will be releasing a manual soon), the performance is pretty much on the numbers.
 
Its not so much the ability to turn below mach 1 but what happens if you are turning above mach 1 and your speed drops below mach 1 in the turn. You are in for a little surprise there....one that is warned of in the manual.

That's called "Mach Tuck" - the point at which the stabs "suddenly" become more effective than they were supersonic - was around .94, I think.

"Mach Tuck", things have come a long way since my first Flight Sim purchase from Circuit City years ago. Great work guy in all areas of our hobby.
 
Kat... really enjoying the new build... but I was hoping the J model would be included in this one as it was so long in the pipeline. Next build maybe?

Its great to have the working slats in this model...very impressive.

Hi,

Colin says that the J will be in the final product for sure but until the external is done 100%, the J will not be released. We will need to assign everything over to the J so doing it twice is not in the cards.

Thank you.

Kat.
