SWS phantom free NOW until April 12th!

Nice for them to do that, kinda hurts from someone that purchased the original in FSX. I did get a discount for the PBR upgrade, so that was cool.
 
Can't seem to find the "buy' button . I just get " notify me when the product is available " . Over-run with orders ?

Thanks for the HU
 
If you look at Simmarkets Facebook page (posts) you can see what day they are giving each product away. I believe the SWS Phantom is set to be free ON April 12.

The SSW F-104G (all versions) is free on April 11.

This probably deserves it's own thread, or mention in the general "on sale" thread. But will this model accept the FSX F-104G repaints?

thanks,

You are right delta-lima. If noone else posts one up I may post about it in the FSX and P3D sales topics. In case you, or anyone else, weren't aware, Simmarket is giving away something every day in April, so it is worth keeping an eye on their "Gratis" section and their Facebook page. I think on occasional days, such as today, there may be heavy discounts on some products rather than a giveaway. Today they are hosting the JustSim 5 Euro sale on some products.

As for the paints, I don't think the F-104G was converted to PBR, so I think the FSX paints should still work. I have the FSX and P3Dv3 versions already, and they share the same livery pack from SSW.

Cheers,
 
What would be nice would be if SWS offered loyal customers who bought the original F-4 a free upgrade to the PBR version instead of charging a further Euros 35.99.

If I log in to my SWS account where I purchased the Phantom originally I can see a code for a %50 discount off the PBR version
 
With the coronavirus situation, it looked like a good idea to give our old warbird. It still looks good, works well and comes with a carrier so you can have one more reason to stay in.

The carrier also presents an opportunity to people to get acquainted first-hand with our carrier tech and its features and maybe set the ground for some freeware carriers using CEX, as hundreds more now have our module.

Thanks Scott! Since I’m not on Facebook, I don’t think of visiting there, even if it’s open access.

As to the thread topic, thanks Alex et al for your generosity.

I went over there and on my account they offer a 50% discount on the F-4 PBR. Not to shabby.
 
Awesome give away, thanks to the SWS crew, much appreciated.
Is there anywhere else than the SWS website to find the manuals for this beast?
The two cockpit familiarization manuals don't seem to be available.

Cheers, Bernard

For some reason Just Flight where I bought the original SWS F-4 has the PBR edition at full price with no "upgrade" option or price for customers who bought the old F-4 at JF.

Anyway, I have now uninstalled this aircraft and guess will go back to the Alphasim F-4. Have become frustrated with the pitch having a mind of its own (pitch trim hat button IS set to repeat and slider in the middle) so can't really fly it, lack of detailed systems manual (e.g., where exactly is the battery switch?), cold/dark or ready to start start ups don;t work, inability to change load outs if you change paints or a/c mid flight and curtailment of the old SWS web site forum, which solved a lot of the earlier teething problems.
 
Update

Did a fresh re-install and things seem better. Got it to start from Cold&Dark. Partly failure to **** but many parts of the manual before the relevant section say "under construction" so missed that. It may be the pitch trim works only with APCS engaged? Need to do some further testing.

Sure looks good over SOCAL!
