    One of the advantages of Older Age (I'm 61), is that I'm old enough and was lucky enough to live not too far from Miramar NAS in San DIego. I can't tell you how many times I saw/watched a Flight of F4's doing The Break over the base for landing. The downwind, base and final were very close to Hwy 163 now I15....so I got a close look at ALL the planes operating from the later 60's, 70's 80's and 90's. And I was a Navy Brat so when I got my drivers license/car, I used to drive down to the flightline....find a good place to park and watch.

  • @Turboy65
    @Turboy65 9 місяців тому

    Looks amazing, no doubt. I will buy this package at some point. But I've got to point out that this sim seems a bit too responsive compared to the real world F-4 Phantom. There are plenty of real demo videos and even the takeoff performance in the real world is dramatically different. It takes TIME for control inputs to translate to actual changes of direction. This lag between stick movement and plane reaction is something every pilot has to learn to compensate for. DCS could stand to be improved by modelling this phenomenon more accurately.

    • @321fightson
      @321fightson  6 місяців тому

      apologies for the late reply. I had heard other people say this. I guess my main comment is that it's not a public release version yet, so it likely isn't "true to life". No doubt they will tweak it as time goes by.

    If the flight modeling is as good as shown here (and there is _no_ reason Heatblur would slack) then I am impressed. Not only by the stunning, lifelike detail, but by the performance. I never knew that the F-4E was as agile as it is; dude was making some tight corners that looked more like a Viper than anything. This is going to be a popular aircraft, in part because it appears like it will be competitive with most jets in DCS.
    I hope, anyway :) 😂😅. Great job, Heatblur.
