Note the asbestos looking panels in the cockpit picture. HB is building us a death trap.

Better keep the oxygen-mask attached then.......

[Grimleo]

Don't let Maverick fly it then.

The glare shields are fiberglass.  They delaminate like that due to the sun exposure, and physical abuse they get.  The Heatblur F-4E cockpit looks very much like what I remember from my time working on them in the 70's and 80's.

Here is the glare shield on my F-4C panel that I am restoring at this time. You can plainly see the fiberglass as the surface gets worn as you have said.

Of course, it's not that breathing fiberglass is any better than breathing asbestos. It doesn't shed fibers that readily, but protective gear is still a good idea for doing DIY stuff with it, and being around exposed fiberglass in general. So yeah, an oxygen mask sounds like a good idea regardless.

Fiberglass? Fiberglass! 

That's not gonna give me any protection as I slam into the ground at 550knots.

Wow Der Phantomingen!

[DOL]

I am glad to see the JASDF skin included.
I like the 302SQ symbol and would be more than happy to include it as well.

For those who haven't seen, Heatblur updated their Facebook cover photo.  A sign of something to happen within the next week perhaps...?

Preorder as of today?

[Silver_Dragon]

The old Viggen video was show by HB on late October 2016, the "ghost and thunder" was October 30 2016 and Viggen presentation was November 26, 2016. Moving to a "aniversary"?

I REQUIRE NOOOWWWW

January 2024, calling it.

[AzraelKurita]

Wouldn´t it be great if the Phantom....pay attention to the Name ;-)....would be released on Halloween?

[Stackup]

And we've got an image of the new Shrike model!  Cobra also confirmed that the AIM-7E already has a new model completed as well.

 

[Gianky]

It's coming!

Where can you redeem the key? Do they ask you if it for DCS or Steam?

[Paladin71]

The key hasn't been released yet. it is only pre order. Their key is only good on standalone. They have an FAQ page on the Heatblur website that says Steam version is only going to be available on Steam, however it can be converted to standalone.

 

I stand corrected. I just received the email with the key.

My key is below this statement:

"Please note that any product key for the DCS: F-4 Phantom module will only be redeemable at the time of Early Access launch.
Customers will be notified by email when activation is ready."
