Whoever did the narrating did a great job it made me really feel like I was at an airshow watching a phantom fly. Good Job!
It's not his first time... I knew I recognized Striker.
@@mdu2112He was the narrator for my retirement back in 2019. I’ve known him about 20 years.
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.
Sounds like an absolute blast, It will be awesmoe for you to be able to experience the plane yourself soon enough
@@fulccrum2324 And I am a real Pilot….just a Commercial Pilot. Rating but not Professional
If I lived that close to a military airbase, I'd be parked there watching things everyday! They'd have to build a small home for me to live in 🤣🤣
Nice job on this one. It's going to the benchmark for DCS module makers, I think. It is a big fan favorite too and it looks amazing!
But all DCS MODs are great! Fan favorite for sure though.
@@billpii6314 Looking at the CEII and the Yak52. Meh...
@@billpii6314 there's a clear gap between Heatblur and everyone else - ED caught up but has some really wonky modules, Milviz is still... up and downs. Others are hit or miss too. Heatblur is like home run every time, they set new standards, new ideas.
This like the Hornet has a really unique distinctive planform look.
You know exactly what it is when you see the shape.
My first air show
Great way to intro the plane. When I was young, one of my first Airfix models was the F4 Phantom. It seems I'm about to go full circle from running around with a model airplane pretending to fly to (when it arrives) sitting in the seat in VR and experiencing the plane in flight....Can't wait.
Wow that was a great demo! I'm looking forward to hearing the release date and getting my hands on this legendary module!
Really looking forward to this one. Incredible.
The Vietnamese DCS player feels a subtle but unmistakable chill running down his spine.
No more hit and run away!!!!
🤣
This was absolutely terrific,
What a beautiful machine... what a beautiful work bringing it back to life in a digital resurrection 👏👌🙌
Heatblur did an amazing job with this module and honestly, I've never thought the F-4 is so manoeuvrable
Blew my mind too. That looked like a Viper demo!
Solid display! Beautiful aircraft. Thank you !
Amazing video! Thank you for demonstration. I wish to see more cockpit video.
my wife just walked by my computer room and asked "What are you smiling at?"
AIR PORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plane p0rn! 😅
Awesome Job!!!
Great stuff!...loved it.❤
That was awesome!
Kickass! 😀
Awesome!
If I could pre-purchase it at Steam, I would. But as of now.... I'll wait until its on steam and in some sale. (Yes, that can take a while, but I can wait) ^^
that min radius turn was about 21 seconds
@growling sidewinder when are you going to showcase this beast?
oooooooo................I GOTTA GET ME ONE OF THOSE.............Hoping Santa will be good to me
Man i want the soundtrack songs sooooo much
given how amazing the Tomcat album was, I'm inclined to agree. Definitely looking forward to hearing what Meteor comes up with.
wow!..... that looks amazing|..... looking forward to the eurofighter, after seeing this.....
Ditto! Super-pumped that HB has taken on the Phoon and it will be a day 1 buy for yours truly.
cant wait!
I'm not that fan of the F-4, I'm buying this module becouse it's from Heatblur and THAT new pilot animation are just AMAZING you guys reading our minds 😍
phabulous Phantom!
phuck yeh! LOL
@@321fightson ha.
Well, that was nice. But I was hoping to see the more of the cockpit. Especially, the instrument panels ..
I was wowed by the view in the cockpit of the pilot & outside. That looked way better than I have seen in DCS before. And yes, seeing the instrument panels would have been cool.
Was the F-4 this maneuverable in real life?
Apparently from the E variant on, it was. They added LERX &tweaked the wings for better wing loading. It made a hellacious difference.
I had the exact same question.
So will it be in early access for the next 10 years? Lol
Soon. I suspect within maybe 3 months? Possibly sooner.
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.
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.
Am probably gonna be flamed for this, well, lets be honest, the F-4 fanbois are out so I AM gonna be flamed... The roll rate looks a little too snappy, to my eye at any rate. She looked to be very "light". The dirty roll was kinda... Meh.
the manoeuvrability was better than I expected, but that's not to say my expectations were correct. I am sure HB will make tweaks over time if needed.
As an aviation fan who has been to many air shows down under this is exactly how it is done ! 1st class job ! Thankyou for a great video 👏
I mean, the little vibrations on the wings as she taxis by the crowd..just UNREAL!! Such attention to even the tiniest details is mind-blowing!!!!! (10:32). Never would've dreamed anything like this would be available for fighter pilot wanna-bes. Can NOT wait for release!!!
i love the f-4e so much, Mig 21s got surprised when this behemoth could turn rate better than them while holding energy. Also talking about this video: this is a great execution, especially the pilot animations!
1959!!!! 14 years after WWII ended. Talk about an Advancement in Aviation!!!
Phantom-Tastic demo... looking forward to getting her when i can
Sound design is really good on this one.
Never flew one, but I've pulled them J79s out a couple times. Can't wait to get my pre order and light them cans.
That min radius turn tho
I felt like I was at a real air show, well-bloody done! Can't wait to try out the Phantom !!
So very soon? 2 weeks?^^
Damn Striker, you’ve gotten better man. Hope you’re doing well.
Wonderful demo of this module and can’t wait to take the F-4 to the skies! Preordered and thank you Heatblur for making this!
Hey there PilotPhotog. Apologies for the slow reply. I have watched plenty of your videos & always enjoy them. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
@@321fightson no worries and thank you! I’m planning an F-4 video with the module when it is released - cheers!
Great flying GRAYWOLF!
The best news in 2024 will be releasing this legendary module. I can't wait seeing it in IRAN's Phantom skin specially the skin of Bushehr squadron with the shark mouth noses!!! Oh God! ❤
I think its over performing, it did a minimum radius turn in 21 seconds, if you watch airshows they do minimum turns in 27-28 seconds
The f14 was also overperforming in the same way, achieving 5th gen minimum circles lol
Anyone could throw more light into this ?
Cheeky "Of Ghost and Thunder" debut!!
It sounded incredible. I honestly cant wait. Hoping we get similar high energy hit like Zone V is.
I use to take seeing these beasts at airshows for granted. They were just always there. I'd give my right arm to watch one fly again. Those J-79s are stupid loud.
Immediately takes me back to the Macdill Air Fest in i think 1992, after desert storm. That smoke trail, the sound, the commentary was spot on.
thanks for an immediate trip down memory lane. I can't wait.
So glad I preordered this day 1 straight from Heatblur. I just know I'm gonna love it so much more than the F-15E, which was a huge disappointment for me.
Nice to see Old Smokey in action like that! 🥳
I've been waiting for a study level F-4 since A2A teased one for FSX years ago but never made a move on it for understandable reasons. This is wonderful, I can't wait!
Yeah, still waiting for that A2A T-33 too 💀
@10:00 Alone In The Dark 1992 release wants its character models back!!
What great idea showcasing a new module in a manner like this. I'd wat h the airshow just to see what new module would be shown.
By the time the E and F variants came out , I believe smokeless engines were available!!
An absolutely amazing video. I hope it was as fun to create, as it was to watch :)
I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Almost as good as the Viggen! 😜
Phantom looking like a phucking boss here!
I like how the spectators stand attention as the grand lady passes by.
I had to laugh at those folks standing there, looking a bit like Minecraft characters 🤣
Fantastic demo. Awesome simulation.
Awesome!!! Look forward to flying this iconic aircraft!!
I'm gonna be a Phantom phlyer phorever! Gimme gimme!
Just imagine if ED used resources like this to enhance the helicopter FARP plate
I still struggle mightly to fly any chopper in DCS. But it is a fun cool environment.
Dope!! the Airshow was Dope, the afterburners were Dope, and the plane is Doooope! ;P
I had a hard time believing this wasn't real! Damn good plane.
Heatblur just doing everything right.
At first I thought it was real footage!!!! Incredible!!!!
Beautiful, thanks for posting this!
I NEEEEED IT
I was lucky enough to see the last few Japanese F-4s in person at Kadena while I was stationed there. What a beautiful, terrifying, sexy beast.
lucky duck! I have never seen one live, although I did find out the RAAF flew them for a while, while waiting for our F111s to arrive. I believe we have one in a museum on the east coast of Australia. I hope to see it one day.
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.
Yea I concure this video is really cool
OK, flight test over. Ship it to production!
Superb. The only problem is that everyone will be flying this on the servers, and no one will want to fly the MiG 21 opponent!
🤣 the Phantom vs Mig 21 dogfights will be epic! 🙂
All i need for Christmas, is you :) just joking :) take your time, its worth it, i know for sure :)
C'mon Santa, bring it with you on the 25th! 🤣
I need this so badly, can't wait to sit in the back seat!
hope you aren't claustrophobic?
@321fightson Nope, and am a professional backseater. It's going to be fun as hell.
@@Checklist_STT sounds great.
Small detail. But keeping the sun behind the observer would cast more light on the aircraft…making it not appear so shadowy.
Man this brings me back to the day as a kid at Langley AFB watching the F4 do a display
Heatblur should be the new scale for „how to do proper marketing“.
Yep, I'm a professional marketing guy in "the real world" and HB always do a great job of their promo videos, etc.
So awesome that this thing is just two weeks (tm) away from release!
🤣🥸😎
Nice work on this one 👍🏻
Looks amazing. It would be awesome if you’d release it so the rest of us can fly it.
Patience grasshopper, patience! 😁
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Amazing. Felt like I was in a real airshow.
Looks great, but wasn't the bottom painted white?!
there's a HEAP of different paint schemes.
Incredible cool made display! But is it accurate with the black smoke bursting out so uneven?
I think so.
Awesome! SOLD
When plane tho?
Very impressive! Afterburners, exhaust, sound, just beautiful.
Like an RC jet 👍
well done.
Just wow!
Those Agile Eagle slats working hard here.
Nice flyin
The Max performance turn is without drop tanks or external stores, and i suspect with a minimum fuel load
All airshow demos are flown this way, so it affects all aircraft similarly.
Gimmie Gimmie!!!
Ah. Sadly first moments with startup missing. But thx for the cut.
Yep, apologies for that. My bad.
@@321fightson no need to apologies for that. 😄 just say it's sad because there are many nice shots and views. Thx for this fast upload.
