- Enjoy the F-4E's surprise debut at this year's Virtual International Air Festivals! Flown by Grayson Frohberg - the voice of JESTER AI - we hope you'll enjoy this look at the powerful F-4E dancing around the sky.
All audio is captured in-game, except for the F-4 OST snippets and announcer voices. - Ігри
I don’t think people realize how genius this idea is, showcasing an aircraft not yet out at a public event just like most companies do at Paris or Dubai airshows. Great way to sell their aircraft module!
Agreed, it would be cool if HeatBlur or Eagle Dynamics would do an airshow style demonstration alongside the cinematic trailers with more aircraft
completely right, it fucking got me
Well the thing is they polish 3d models once close to release. But heatblur did this for the second time. As f14 was first introduced to us the exact same way.
Can’t wait for ef2000 intro at next year one? (Too much hope? XD )
Tho i would agree that razbam, could have use this.
Aerges did some airshow with the sexy mirage f1 too btw.
You're right it's the entire point of airshows so they are literally just doing what Aviation companies do IRL. You show off your aircraft around the world at airshows to build interest in it and hopefully get international sales.
Damn, I was a jet engine mechanic on F4Es at MacDill AFB in the middle 70s. We were the 1st Fighter Wing but were changed to the 56th Wing when the F15 wing finally formed. I had forgotten about the leading edge slats since they were a pretty big deal at first. I have a small scar on my head from the knife edge seal that jumped out to attack me. Totally unprovoked. So many memories.
Gotta watch them knife edged seals, they'll get ya every time when you're not watching
loose seal! watch out for the loose seal!
REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT--but be CAREFUL after you do! 🙂
@@Boots3862 I worked at the sound suppressor, a water cooled muffler system for noise suppression, those tags were removed before the engines were fired up.
My old man was a USMC Phantom Phixer on F-4Bs with VMFA-115, the "Silver Eagles", based at Chu Lai in Nam from 1966-67 and I have dreamed of a full fidelity sim of this old beast since he told me about "his" pilot Smokey taking him up for a farewell flight before he rotated back to The World and him telling me that breaking mach in the Phantom was the single baddest ass experience of his life. I literally burnt out our Beta Max tape of Top Gun as a kid so I was jacked for the DCS F-14 but I am even more hyped for the F-4, USAF puke E-model or not lol And btw, this is a helluva long shot but the DCS community contains a lot of longtime aviation community/military vets and since my pops kicked it when I was just about to turn 11 I never knew Smokey's actual name but if any of you guys are aware of a USMC pilot with the call sign "Smokey" that served with VMFA-115 in the Nam gimme a reply. Anyways, can't wait for this bird and will be in the air on Day One!!!
Once this bird was in the air, I could no longer distinguish the video from reality - absolutely incredible work. Outstanding!
Something around 10:58 kind of gives you that "it's not quite real" feeling
@@alexisbv2299You mean you cannot wear an anorak at Nellis AFB? 🤣😂
@@alexisbv2299 Those blow-up dolls looked pretty real
The cockpit cam is almost realistic as a real one
Real plane has grey bottom, not camouflage pattern.
Love that the phantom is basically indistinguishable from real life, and the spectators look like something out of the original Tony Hawk game! 😂
This just slapped my face with a core memory: My father was a crew chief on RF-4C's. I used to go with him to air shows and the Reno Air Races, and this is so damn spot on. The photo pass made me well up. It's been decades since I've seen a flying F-4 that wasn't going to be used as a missile target.
Those Reno boys were wild, love the old tapes you can find on UA-cam of them crashing a picnic by the lake at about 20ft AGL.
I flew that bird 28 times at Ramstein from Feb 83 to Sep 85.
I was a crew chief on these for 9 years and I could have SWORN I was looking at the real thing. You have outdone yourselves folks. absolutely beautiful.
Heatblur is raising the bar so high I don’t know how they can keep improving with future modules… 🤷♀️
I know, the only thing I can think of for their next module most likely being the A-6E is a briefing room you can enter before flight and maybe ground crew working around the plane when you remove chocks and connect/disconnect gpu
performance is always the highest bar to clear, but aside from that, I think the next logical step is having modularity to a point where development CAN branch out and just update the plane creating new versions without fundamentally rewriting the plane.
I.e. if it wasn't all red taped devs could build an F-4G out of this
@@LungolordsIIRC it will be eurofighter then A6
The only time I've seen a Phantom flown that aggressively in real life was with the GAF airshow demo team (at Otis AFB) in their F-4F's. Well done!
I have no words to describe this, but I'm glad we have developers like Heatblur ,ED, and others to make our aviation dream a reality. Thank you to all!
I've been waiting for this thing for YEARS. Can't wait for it to come out.
I like the drag chute physics
Again, a first by Heatblur... as expected! :D
I'm glad the smokey engines were a part of this. A very memorable part of growing up in VA Beach was seeing them flying overhead and at air shows and that always present smoke. Oh yea, the engine sounds are awesome. You always knew when a Phantom was operating nearby at Oceana.
I literally double-checked the VIAF setlist thrice and since there was no Phabulous Phantom display announced, I didn't care this time, simply because I got other things on the plate (like a ton of cake... ^^) and watching the whole event would have been everything + 2 days.
And then this happened... just awesome!
Those J79 engines screaming by on takeoff was an eargasm.
What better way to present it for the first time!
That's nothing short of pure amazingness! The sound at the beginning rattled my brain out using a pair of good headphones, brought back memories from airshows when I was a kid and saw the Viggen! Lovely! Can't wait for the module to finally drop, and my LP's!
Awesome! The AoA throughout the slow looks perfect and opening shots of the jet were just amazing!
Incredible work and show as always guys! Thank you!
One things that amazed me when I was younger was just how loud the F-4 is. When they switched from F-4 Phantoms to the new fangled F-16s, it got so much quieter at my house, being so close the an Air Force base. The difference was huge.
I know it wouldn’t be historically correct for the E model, but a campaign showcasing Robin Olds would be a lot of fun!!!
I've been wondering if they'll release earlier phantoms
E makes the most sense to match the Bis.
This needs to happen
There will be an early and a late variant
To showcase Robin Olds, we'll be needing several DLC packs!
Thank you... You are surprising me every time. I am so incredibly hyped for the modules release
Many greetings from Germany❤💙💛 keep it up
I can't get over what a crazy feeling it is to have Jester talk to us from the driver's seat. Amazing. I can't wait.
You can almost FEEL the heat from the burner cans! (Back in the day, you could feel it on the Airshow line). Man, I LOVE this jet!
Having attended a couple hundred airshow and actually seeing an F4 at one in Houston, I have to say this was Awesome. Thank you for all of the perfection you put in the sims.
the music is so good, cant wait for the OST! also the shot that starts at 2:54 looks real!
This is incredible!!!
Such amazing care was given to this module!!!
Makes me want to see this kind of video done with the F-14 and all the other jet and helicopter modules.
ua-cam.com/video/ok68NWILp1E/v-deo.htmlsi=-e3vwwMxS1eZYKCU 🙂
There was one done for the F-14 a while ago:
ua-cam.com/video/ok68NWILp1E/v-deo.htmlsi=pM5c8K2w2ogHzht7
When the F-14 was coming out they did a virtual airshow with it too before it was released
There IS the pre-release F14 video. It's even better than this one!
There are excellent videos of the F14
Phantom Phrenzy is upon us! 🔥🤘🏻😤🤘🏻🔥
We need those wing vapors on the F14 too
Your wish is our command. 🙂
@@104thironmike4 Awesome! I cannot wait!
Simply Wonderful
Nicely done. Mouth watering flight demo HB. Can't wait for the release and a chance to fly this iconic aircraft.
I couldn't hold it! Clean up on isle.. my pants!! 😂😂😂
Looks like a tremendous product. Videography is fantastic and your promotional films are tremendous. Already on pre order for some weeks now. Excited. Station at Ramstein from 86 to 95 and the F4s were just transitioning to F16s at that time. Still had the opportunity to watch the Phantoms fly before they moved on. Zweibrucken AB, about an hour west of Ramstein, flew F4 Wild Weasels. Deployed them to Desert Shield/Desert Storm in 90/91 then they went away as well. Thanks for making this aircraft available!
Awesome! Just awesome! Such an impressive simulation of the F-4E...I'll definitely be adding this to my DCS collection!
absolutely incredible
Great job as always. Already purchased, keep up the wonderful work!
Very well done. I really miss the old lady. Love the sound of those J-79s. The mistakes where very few. I deeply appreciate the work you did on this. I worked on D models for 10 years.
She's absolutely beautiful. Outstanding work to everyone at HEATBLUR. Thank you.
This looks so impressive! Well done guys. I might finally get my much needed new PC to fly this one in all its glory.
WOW JUST WOW... Absolutely stunning!!!
Phantastic!
I see what you did there
Haha it took time for me to understand
Heatblur absolutely showing how development is done on a high quality product; take time and do it right, customers come first. What a unique way to experience history, especially in a time where people seem to want to just forget what it all meant to put the nation’s best minds to a task, historical involvement with other nations, arms dealing where and why, and why the approaches in engineering were taken. Especially excited for the Intruder and whenever possible, the Eurofighter. KEEP IT UP!
I'm not even that much of a fan of the F-FE but this module looks incredible.
What a great video! I remember the Phantom fondly from when I was a kid. Sometimes there were Falcons, sometimes Tornados but the most impressive (and loud) was always the Phantom.
Besides a stint in the Air Force and done a lot of flying I have attended over 200 air shows. I've seen it all. And the F4 wouldn't last a minute against today's examples but this airplane still raises my heart rate and gives goosebumps whenever I see one where the others don't.
Just taxiing it seems to shoulder the others out of the way like the town tough guy.
The last American ace was flying this.
Absolutely stunning!
Old Smokey flies again! Gotta love the rumbling roar of those J-79s. Heatblur always does an amazing job with everything they do, but this is on another level entirely
Looking forward to jumping in and having a blast
She's beautiful. Amazing work to all the teams that work so hard.
Used to guard them while I was stationed in Kunsan, Korea, enjoyed watching them do power climbs, just a beautiful aircraft!
SP? Me too.
Very nice :) Always love the roll right break left, so much fun to execute.
The landing timing with the beat is insane
Absolutely stunning.
It's a really great work guys! Long expecting module! Greate pilotage!
Wow! Fantastic display thanks. The hype is real!
I was a very small boy when the F-4 was the USAF big dog and the highlight of every airshow. Still remember how you could feel the air shake in your chest when those afterburner were pointed right at you during the max G turn. Brought back great memories!
Right with ya there.
Although I did see Blue Angel #5 auger in right in front of me in Lake Charles, La.
@@Coldwarrior7781 Oof, glad I never saw anything like that!
@@writerrhino166 He ejected on the deck. Chute went down right in the middle of the fireball but he came running out about 30 seconds later. Had a scratch on his nose from the visor. They had another incident a few weeks later. The Thunderbirds had their problems in the F4 too. All Phantoms were grounded worldwide briefly to see what was up. I think they just decided those kind of maneuvers were a bad idea that close to the ground and put out advisories to keep it high.
The Angels went to the A4 and the T Birds to the T38. Both those planes while not being as badass to watch were much better suited to tight, precise airshow flying.
A side note. I was 12 when that happened and I was with a school buddy before flying began that day. Standing in front of the parked Angels he told me he had a feeling one would crash AND that it would be #5. Of course I rolled my eyes but then did I ever learn.
The Incockpit shots are Radical.
heatblur you are absolutely BONKERS!
Damm i am so in love with this aircraft. No other module i wanted more then this. 😍😍😍😍 ever since iron eagle 2. This has been my favorite jet ever
The wing fluff and afterburners are fucking perfection
Will never forget the feeling when the afterburner kicks in and the engines face towards the crowd. I saw multiple displays from the Richthofen Geschwader in Germany.
Absolutely incredible！🤩
Another great work. I'm very fascinated with this plane. Congratulations for your hard work. It's a masterpiece. Keep it up Heatblur team. 💪💪👏👏👏
Awesome vid I can't hardly hide my excitement, well done Heatblur Bring It On !!! Awesome
An absolutely amazing video. I hope it was as much fun to creat it as it was to watch it :)
oh man the sounds of it taxiing at the end there are glorious
This is getting me a little too excited Such an amazing bird! Can't wait to sit in this cockpit! My tomcat is gonna be super jealous. Already preordered!
Never saw a new airplane introduced like this. Thank you for this great show! Looking forward to hear chester from the back seat soon.
Incredible video, can't wait to take this bird to the skies myself! What a great thing to wake up to!
Awesome video guys. Thank you 🙏🏻
I’m so excited to hop into this beauty!!
Another A-plus quality job! Cheers
I well done with this one, guys! This is gonna be my first plane after a trainer jet when I get DCS!
Unless you’re into trainers you don’t need them in dcs.
Don’t spoil yourself! After flying this beauty, hardly a single other module will be able to attain the same standard!
Use the su25 to get a little experience.. it's a decent and fun aircraft to fly. And it's free.. You can go fly it right now and not spend a single penny.
Don't need a trainer, I recommend going through Eagle dynamics vs. Steam, I have the steam version and from what I've gathered is the stand alone is better plus Eagle dynamics offers sales and deals before steam.
As someone who owns every module, you don't really need trainers. As someone else said, just fly the SU-25T that's given to you in the game by default. It's one of my favorites, honestly.
AWESOME!!!! im so excited for this module!
Heatblur just knocks these modules out of the park. The F4 just cant come soon enough! Cant wait!
Whoever came up with the idea of a virtual air show deserves a round of applause. Such a great idea which was executed to perfection! Absolutely stunning!
You mean like the event organizers or heatblur taking part in the event? Because they did this with the f14 at the same virtual airshow
@@RW-zn8vy Wow. Thanks for letting me know. Had no idea that Heatblur did it first with the F-14.
Amazing Work
Great display and a beautifull plane guys!! keep up the good work!!
incredibly well made video, hope to see an airshow for Eurofighter when thats close to release :)
Is that the Meteor album we hear in the background? This was incredible, can't wait to fly it myself.
Yes. Glad you liked it!
Spared "almost" no expense? Disappointment, immeasurable. Day, ruined. No kidding though you guys are killing it on every front, stellar work !
Can’t wait playing this incredible beast!!!
That was so awesome - can't wait to get that into my DCS hangar!
The E model had a 4x optical camera on the left hand wing. I worked on them way back in the 80s😝 but very very good graphics. The sound is off though when a f4 turns it screams super loud.
I COMPLETELY AGREE... The F4 always sounded angry and passed off when you heard it turn... or behind it... It makes the F18 sound like a toy.
we're gonna get the TISEO camera with the DMAS variant later down the line
That's the late f4e version, It will come out later in development
That was the Tiseo(?) Optics and it was on later models. The 68 models at Ramstein didn't have them. I was a crew chief in the 512th from 82-84.
We are getting two variants. "The simulation of both the DSCG and DMAS equipped -E variants, the DMAS version following later during the Early Access period. "
Wow. Way to go HB!!!!! Raising the bar higher than ever
This is such a dirty demo. The graphics were incredible. Thank you for the entertainment
I can't wait to hear the clean soundtrack. PLEASE drop some tracks, guys. This soundtrack is the fire I need to stay warm this winter
That was absolutely OUTSTANDING!
Absolutely Crushed it! 🤙🏻
omg u are everywhere on instagram and yt:)))))
What a way to memorialize and celebrate such a historic and storied aircraft-DCS really is a wonderful aviation museum.
It's kinda funny, I'm so used to the Phantom's generational position leaving it often portrayed as sluggish and clumsy in decades' worth of arcade flight games before typically being traded in for something more advanced, so it'll be a delight and a vindication to experience a much more accurate and agile recreation of its flight characteristics and correct that tacit mental impression. Can't wait for this one~
Picked this up as soon as pre order was open. My first Heatblur module.
Thank you for your purchase and welcome to the Heatblur community!
Awesome guys. Great work.
Looks amazing! Can't wait!!
Wow, a simulated airshow demo Now that's the way to do a product introduction, real or otherwise. Superb job.
I had to watch it again, so good!
THE most badass and awesome thing I'll see today
This was truly awesome !!!!!
Phabulous 😍
Wanted to add something , The F-4Es Also Had Smokeless Engines , It was the J79-17C Smokeless and Later 17E/G Low Smokes with High Energy Ignition & Beginning in 1971 Iranian F-4s Were Ordered and Delivered With 17C and Turkish and Greek F-4s Followed In 76’
Later All Of Iranian Phantom Es Engines Were Upgraded To 17C and I Personally Would Love to have the option of Having 17C or 17E/G as well as the original 17A In The Game
The first two squadrons ( 36 aircraft ) of the H.A.F. ( Greece ) delivered in the years 1974 and 1975, were equipped with the older ( smocking ) engine : J-79-17A and only the third squadron of 18 aircraft was equipped with the J-79-17E/G. In the year 2000, 36 of the remaining F-4E of the H.A.F. ( Greeece ), were upgraded by German and Israeli companies up to the F-4E/AUP standard and all the engines of those 36 aircraft were upgraded to the smokless version.
HB are smashing it !
Amazing job Heatblur team, I hope to fly this bird soon!👌🚀
Incredible!!
Phantoms Phorever!!
I was stationed at Rammstein AB from 1979-1981 . I was a weapons mechanic loaded weapons and repaired weapons systems. Brings back great memories
