Nice, it's great to see it in action. Glad HB let you guys get to it, so you could show it off. I'll say I'm ready. I have a four day weekend coming that week, so I know what I'll be doing. It also looks fairly complete, which is good news. Nothing worse than getting module that can't do much or has limited functionality on EA release. So I look forward to learning this one inside and out.

This is the first Heatblur aircraft I purchased a few days ago and can't wait to get my hands on it! In Turkey, it's still used and called 'Baba' meaning father. I saw a pair of ship of these ugly kings taking off two months ago. No words to describe the rumbling sound that shook me to the bone. Thank you for the one of the best descriptions in here.

Few month ago some Turkey Phantoms were stationed at Istrana Air Base Italy for some training, very rare pics to see flying.... beauty

ahh, the sweet sweet phantom… only a little longer now!

I also noticed this behavior(getting noticeably heavier during AAR) in other aircraft, but particularly in the F-14. Which ofc is also a Heatblur aircraft. I've trained AAR far more than I did anything tactical with the F-14. I would usually try to fill up my almost empty internal tanks as well as two entirely empty external tanks. The amount of thrust you would have to add by that, from start to finish, as well as the amount of increase of AOA/pitch up trim is significant.

i don't think that's tied to both being HB aircraft but rather to the fact they take a lot of fuel compared to ED full fidelity aircraft like Viper, Hornet, Tiger.. just a guess though

​@@almightyIrie I may have phrased it a bit unclear. This effect whilst refueling in the air is ofc universal physics and has nothing to do with HB in particular, or any developer who got this behavior right as well. I just wanted to point out that it feels very well modelled. And that HB did a great job there, maybe an even better one than other developers, since Tricker pointed that out so specifically. But in my opinion I think the A-10C II and the other aircraft that I have flown actually react kinda similar. But you are right. Maybe it is more noticeable in the Tomcat because it can take so much fuel.

A cultured man, starts off with the max mK82 loadout

Just wow the ejection pull cables rustling around is incredible! 15:53 I can’t believe the amount of detail on this aircraft. I can’t wait!!!!

My primaries are the F-15E, A-10CII and AH-64. I have a mega Rooster moment watching these Phantom videos - god, this thing is so old! ;)

Im going to have soooo much fun in this jet, Thanks for this vid bro!

Looks great, and the internal sounds are great, can't wait to redeem my pre-order code. Have to say though, those external sounds are... interesting. Especially at taxi speeds. Sounds more like an EV than a jet engine!

Excellent video. Really well done.I have mine pre-ordered 😎.Ever since I was a kid, I thought that the F4 and the F5 were easily the best looking aircraft ever. Still the best😎✅

Super hype-inducing stuff right here. Can't wait to try her out. But are you sure you need the "bombing computer" for D/T? Manual states: "The target can be approached from any direction, airspeed, and dive angle, and the WRCS computes the proper release point relative to the acquired track, munition drag coefficient setting, and any release advance control input (in conjunction with AWRU settings)."

Man i could smell the diesel smoke coming out of those beautiful sexy cans. HB once again did their job lets hope ED will keep it up. This preview was extra Special...that radio voice never gets old brother.

I've been waiting for this module since it was first announced, and I'm happy it came so soon! I love all these videos they're pushing out.

oh this is going to be soo much fun in VR! Thanks for the showcase!

I can't wait to try many of the things showcased in this video. I'll make sure I learn how to takeoff, land, and navigate, but among the first things I've wanted to try to understand is that dive toss bombing mode. Thanks for showing how it can be setup with Jester. I think it'll be quite fun delivering the huge bomb loads that the Phantom II can carry.

The Skin is an actual replica of the Phantom Phlyout from the German Airforce. It was painted for the last flight in service back in 2014. Worked on the Sister which was painted blue and gold. Was the first to enter Service and the last to retire. The Black and Orange pattern is dedicated to the flight test team for the F-4F II Phantom from the german Airforce.

Awesome video mate, can't wait to fly her.

@VKNorthern

​@@TrickerDCS I feel like this happens with every module that's capable of aerial refueling since I would think the flight model would take into account the weight of the aircraft as you added more weight to it with fuel. I just think that subconciously while you're refueling and doing the required throttle movements your throttle moves up slowly in terms of it's "rough" center position without you really noticing. It might just be more prounounced on the F-4E in particular. Ejecting the canopy along with Jester could help with weight reduction though!

Well damn, I guess I'm going to start liking JESTER. Freaking awesome video Tricker. Keep them coming.

Looking forward to flying this thing! It might take me away from the Hip for a little bit.

I got a couple flights in last night finally. All in all about what I expected, which is a very good thing. A couple observations… - On my first landing, which was a bit rough at Creech but certainly nowhere near as hard as a carrier landing, Jester makes a comment about needing the undercarriage replaced and then I find out I have no brakes. Now, I’m an old US Navy carrier guy. I’m used to planes that get slammed on a pitching deck all day long. That little tap and I lose my brakes??? C’mon, man! - I didn’t look too hard cuz I was wanting to get in the air and I knew I had yet to spend an hour or more setting up the controls, but all I saw were skins for either USAF jets or allied nation jets. Nothing from the United States Navy. I mean, the thing was designed and built as a FLEET defense aircraft for the US Navy. They have six skins for the USAF Thunderbirds, but not one navy skin. What is up with that? As an ex-US Navy flight deck veteran that actually served on a carrier that still had a squadron of Phantoms on board, I take great offense to this. - I may be doing something wrong procedure wise and no, I haven’t RtFM yet, but I found as I was screaming around the southern Nevada skies last night, that no matter how I set the radar up from the WSO seat, once I went back to the pilot seat, after a second or two the radar would go back to a B scope and 50 mile range. Am I missing something there? Is it supposed to do that and if so, how can I change it? Surely the pilot can do a PPI and isn’t locked into a B scope. I mean, it does show PPI for a second before it changes. - I’m also wondering why there doesn’t seem to be a Jester command to change ranges on the radar. I can tell him to change the elevation and scan size, but not the range? Edit: I looked again this morning and no, there are no US Navy skins at all. C’mon guys, this thing was built for the Navy! Edit: Okay, I get it. The Navy used the B and J versions, not the E. Well, I hope they come out with a US Navy variation someday.

Good god the engine sounds are absolutely incredible.

Phantom went a long way from the 90's (?) FOTI to DCS. To me it is equally amazing what is possible today and what developers made possible back in the 80's and 90's. And gameplay-wise some of the older sims still are better (well, with my nostalgia glasses on at least). Looking forward to the F-4! I wish Heatblur would make the F-104, too. But let's see what Aerges will manage to do.

Phantastic

YOU TOOK OF FROM MY HOME TOWN! THATS SO SICK!

did a ride swap in 85 with a AF guy i got talking to in the o`club while stationed in Germany, the next day I took him out on a fam and a week later I did a back set hop in the phantom, at that point i fell in love with the lines and power available, but their were so many switches and buttons that I could not even think about taking that to war, the F4 is my fav cold war acft but will pass on this mod as i like a real HUD , and 120`s. The fusion tape on the RH wire bundle is a nice add..

LOL I would have LOVED to work on an F-4 that was this clean. Need a "dirty bird" mod. But what an amazing sim!

Man, I always wondered what it was like to spin that wheel. That and I really wanted to play Plinko.

Fan-f*ckn-tastic! And the best narrative, to-the-point-useful, and non-weird voice styles in the entire community! (What on earth are you apologising for?) :)

Yeah....this? This is it. I can't wait to get my hands on this bird.

Thanks for a good video. It doesn't seem to shake by AOA like tomcat , did you control with optimized AOA? or is the F-4E better than the F-14 ?
