Finally the F-4. DCS World can finally consider itself a modern flightsim. F-4 was the most significant fighter of the 20th Century. Can't believe it's been missing from the game for so long.

Watching these videos really drives home the importance of the manually operated RADAR of these 2nd Gen fighters. It really was an art to be able to make use of them in combat. Hardly the God's eye view you expect today.

Anyone notice it actually makes skid marks when the brakes were applied. They really really didn’t miss a beat it seems like

The synergy between you two was great. Looked like fun.

Excellent video! The two of you make a formidable team, comms were ace and i love the camera angles you used as well!

I think this is the best preview video I've seen so far. Great decision on their part letting you get your hands on it!💪

The best video about the F-4 I've seen so far. The crew coordination between you two is amazing. Next level flying. And letting rip two sparrows in sequence? Next level.

I hoped the F-4 would come with improvements to AIM-7 flight dynamics and just from this video, it looks like it has. I hope this applies to all AIM-7s in DCS.

Awesome video. Its great to see they they did a bird the colors for the 163rd TFG/196TFS. I used to watch F-4s from that unit fly over my house when I was a kid.

My dad Lt.Col Hap Arnold flew with that unit from 1973-1997 and flew the O-2, F-4C, E and RF and the KC-135, as well as having flown the F-4D on active duty at RAF Bentwaters from 1973-1977. He passed away on Thursday so seeing this video warmed my heart.

Truly amazing what can be done with video games now. I remember decades ago when i would dream about how good video games could be. In 2024 PC's have made that dream true. So many unique experiences can be had by yourself or with friends. DCS have created something special. And their partners are following their lead Can't not mention your editing and choice of music. Cooool 😎 I've been away from DCS for a few months. But with summer on the way. Ohhhhhwwwwww 😆😁 Thanks for the preview. Lucky..... 😂😂👍🏾

Great video guys. Awesome to see multi-crew in action.

I just can not belive I did not find this youtube channel until now...amazing video Sir!

Looks so awesome. Hopefully I can eventually get a rig I can run DCS on (perhaps I can make it work on the Steam Deck or eventually get a gaming laptop/desktop). Anyways, I love you guys used a 163rd TFG/196TFS livery. My Dad Lt. Col (retired) Hap Arnold flew with them from 1977-1997, flying the O-2, F-4C, F-4E and RF-4C, and having flown the F-4D at RAF Bentwaters from 1973-1977. He had over 27,000 hours, over 4,000 hours in the F-4. He passed away on Thursday and I had so hoped to see video of the Heatblur F-4E in Grizzly livery in his honor, which will tide me over until I can run it myself on a suitable rig. Thank you again! Love the video.

Action packed! Great video and cinematic work there!

After seeing that AMAZING terminal guidance of the AIM-7, I hope people will stop sleeping on it in other modules. I always carry one on St5 in the hornet. Super awesome vid, I strive for that level of CRM with my crewman too

Beautiful piloting of a beautiful bird, looking forward to more!

Finally a good F4 video from an actually good content creator!

That was amazing!

This is awesome. Can it be the 21st already? lol

I have been really watching a lot of Vietnam era documentaries about the conflict and all the assets involved. From the Phantom to the M40 recoilless rifle and everything in between. So many of those early Phantom pilots hated the fact the F-4 didn't have a gun. So many lives lost because the missiles of the day, Sparrows and Sidewinders, were a crap shoot. At first they had an 11% success rate. Which basically meant that one of your missiles would score. Once you've shot your load, you were out of the fight. How frustrating it must have been seeing you had 3/4 full tanks, an enemy in front of you and not the ability to do shit about it. And while you were there, your flight could not shoot in fear of their missiles tracking you instead. But, the F-4 was never intended for that role. So it's no wonder we had such horrible losses. Never take a missile to a gunfight...

F+ Sparrows you only need to wait for the radar to settle ~2 seconds.

Can you make a video about the Razbam - ED situation? I will not support ED/DCS until the Razbam stituation is cleared and we get updates on Razbam modules Thx

the outboard slats stuck deployed? user error or bug in the build you had?

How's the FPS situation? If we compare it to the F-14, how does it fare

Mirage kill was a KO with uppercut

I noticed for the fox-1 launch at 11:28, where you got lock using the ACM radar mode, you only waited about 2 mississippis before launching, but it still tracked. Was this just lucky, or can you launch sooner with the ACM lock?

This is due to the set-in period of the missile speed-gate. With the AIM-7F, this delay is reduced to two seconds with Master Arm switch On prior to lock, or immediately after selecting Master Arm switch to On if lock on was achieved first.
