Yeah, around 2 hours. It wary also at what altitude you intend to cruise over long distances. If flying over no threat territory then you can achieve a noticeably better endurance at altitudes of over 2 km in helicopters.

Tried to diasable antivirus during validation without positive result. I gave up since. Not gonna waste any more time on trying to fix it. Lost will to continue. It may work with next patch. Until then going to do other pleasant things outside of gaming. Thank you for help anyway, MAXsenna. Much appreciated.

Oh,Ok. That sounds good. I will try. No harm in that. Then I will need to learn somehow how to post DCS.log from my saved games, hehe. Wish me luck.

Thank you. I have performed Integrity of game files verification in ,,Installed Files,, several times. Whole game including all DLCs was verified first. Phantom still did not work afterwards. Other modules yes. Then I ran about 5 following verification selecting just base game files and F-4 modules in order to speed-up the process. After every verification I restarted PC and launched DCS game from Steam. Nothing helped. Spent 2 hours on it today and that`s it...... I will try some other day. Don`t want to waste any more time on it this evening.. Maybe after next official patch Phantom will work. Attaching a screenshot after verification. Maybe someone may have idea whether the screenshot is of any help. The message on picture says that 2 files failed verification and will be reacquired. However this message shows every time....so those files are not getting reacquired. Not sure what to do next.

Yes, exactly these two in training section. In single player- instant action loads as usually, but after clicking on FLY button map and all assests on the map work normally, just Phantom is missing. F1, F2 view....etc don`t teleport me to the plane. I am going to delete the file and download it again. That may help.

I will try uninstall and install it again tomorrow. Steam does not show ,,verify DCS files,, option on Steam, as MAXsenna suggested, so uninstall sounds like next logical steps. Thank you.

Do you know the process step by step? I will give it a try. Never heard of it before so not having idea what steps linking profiles consist of.

Hi! I bought F-4 today on Steam. It is downloaded and installed. Training missions and Instant action in-game do not work. It says: ,, Please wait until your aircraft is prepared,, with a big Phantom picture across the screen. When going to multiplayer servers, I go to SELECT ROLE option and choose F-4 from the aircraft list. The list with highlighted slots appears, but when clicking on pilot position nothing happens. My call name does not appear to the right of the screen. Other modules work as usual. Any idea what it might be and how to fix it? Thank you.

Use the clock in the cockpit to determine when to switch between left and right external tank. For example select left tank and let the engine feed from it for 15 minutes initially. Then select the right external and let the engine feed from it for 30 minutes, then just repeat every 30 mins until they get dry one by one. That`s one way to keep the plane balanced during long distance cruising with minimal use of aileron trim.

Not sure why. I asked myself same question years ago. Then.... just stopped asking, hehe. Maybe just to let us know what planes are being worked on so players have general idea what long term plans are. Five years ago I got hyped about Mig 23. Learned the lesson. It`s just better to focus on what is available here and now without trying to see beyond the horizon too much and get frustrated in process.

Anything between 1-4 years. Best to forget about it for now and just wait until date of release will be announced in the future. It is way too early to get hyped about it. F-4 appeared in 4 Above and beyond videos and Chinook in 2 already...and probably will appear in further 1- 2 before we can fly it. I am not criticizing. That`s just the way it is.

First 2 profiles [ green & yellow ] look amazing no matter whether they are real of fictional. Other 3 very nice, too. Pleasant to look at. Not much a fan of animal jaws on planes` noses in general, but that particular skin could have 2 variations with and without jaws.

Steam requires precise date announced by creators for any product to be for sale. Wait until ED will confirm the date and Steam should list it. Watch latest Casmo`s interview with Matt Wagner from a few days ago. They talk about it.

Just another routine flight over Syria.
