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!
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.
@@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!!!
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.
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.
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 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
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 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!
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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. "
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!
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!
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
I have never played DCS but I just bought their tomcat on MSFS and it’s amazing, I’m thinking of getting DCS and trying their products in DCS, looks incredible
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~
MSgt USAF Ret. Ops System Management with 337th TFS "Falcons" (deactivated), 335th TFS "Chiefs" at Seymour-Johnson AFB NC with F-4E/G (SEAD) 1984-'88. The the 480th TFS Spangdahlem AB FRG F-4G/H and F-16c/d Wild Weasels/SEAD 1988-'91. (total time 1973-'95). Love those.
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.
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.
Outstanding video 👍 And as Thesimnet says: "Once the bird was in the air, you could not distinguish the video from reality" I could not wait to have my F-4E in my virtual hangar.
I always wanted to fly the F4 when I was a kid. We had F4's at the Air National Guard unit where I grew up, but it was taken out of service before I went on active duty. Thank you Heatblur for making a small dream come true, by making this module for DCS! And yes mine is pre-ordered... the day it was released for pre-order... lol
Hi Andy, did you fly the F-4? And if so, would you be interested to join us as a Subject Matter Expert? If yes, please be so kind and send me a PM on ED Forums (to IronMike), I would absolutely love to hear from you. But also if you worked on F-4s in any other capacity. Thank you for your service, and we hope we can do it great justice and have you relive fond memories.
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 )

Ya no bro. The F4 was first flown in 1958. I don't think there is much of a market for gen 3 fighters. Cute game. Have fun playing.
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.

Once this bird was in the air, I could no longer distinguish the video from reality - absolutely incredible work. Outstanding!

@@alexisbv2299You mean you cannot wear an anorak at Nellis AFB? 🤣😂

Those Reno boys were wild, love the old tapes you can find on TH-cam of them crashing a picnic by the lake at about 20ft AGL.
Love that the phantom is basically indistinguishable from real life, and the spectators look like something out of the original Tony Hawk game! 😂
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.
I flew that bird 28 times at Ramstein from Feb 83 to Sep 85.
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!

Again, a first by Heatblur... as expected! :D

What better way to present it for the first time!
Those J79 engines screaming by on takeoff was an eargasm.
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!
Awesome! The AoA throughout the slow looks perfect and opening shots of the jet were just amazing!
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 wing fluff and afterburners are fucking perfection
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!
Never saw a new airplane introduced like this. Thank you for this great show! Looking forward to hear chester from the back seat soon.
This looks so impressive! Well done guys. I might finally get my much needed new PC to fly this one in all its glory.
An absolutely amazing video. I hope it was as much fun to creat it as it was to watch it :)
Another great work. I'm very fascinated with this plane. Congratulations for your hard work. It's a masterpiece. Keep it up Heatblur team. 💪💪👏👏👏
Great job as always. Already purchased, keep up the wonderful work!

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’

Awesome vid I can't hardly hide my excitement, well done Heatblur Bring It On !!! Awesome
Spared "almost" no expense? Disappointment, immeasurable. Day, ruined. No kidding though you guys are killing it on every front, stellar work !
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. "

Outstanding video 👍 And as Thesimnet says: "Once the bird was in the air, you could not distinguish the video from reality" I could not wait to have my F-4E in my virtual hangar.
AWESOME!!!! im so excited for this module!
cant wait to write stupid on the cockpit glass
oh man the sounds of it taxiing at the end there are glorious
I always wanted to fly the F4 when I was a kid. We had F4's at the Air National Guard unit where I grew up, but it was taken out of service before I went on active duty. Thank you Heatblur for making a small dream come true, by making this module for DCS!
And yes mine is pre-ordered... the day it was released for pre-order... lol
Absolutely stunning.
I crewed this jet at Ramstein in the 80s...I hope it flies better in DCS then I remember it! Lol...can you say ground abort? Code 3.
Hi Andy, did you fly the F-4? And if so, would you be interested to join us as a Subject Matter Expert? If yes, please be so kind and send me a PM on ED Forums (to IronMike), I would absolutely love to hear from you. But also if you worked on F-4s in any other capacity. Thank you for your service, and we hope we can do it great justice and have you relive fond memories.
My Dad was a Crew Chief on RF-4C 68-0567 when she was brand new in '68.
