One little thing, are the select station designations on the bottom view of the plane (picture)backwards, or does the pilot have to invert left and right when selecting weapons? The station armament buttons go LO, LI, CTR, RI, RO, but the labels on the picture go RO, RI, CTR, LI, LO. 

 

Just seems weird lol

Should probably have posted that here- F-4E Manual Feedback Mega-Thread - DCS: F-4 Phantom - ED Forums

 

 

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

When the F4 was first announced, I was like, ok cool, but that was all. I knew little about it outside seeing it drop napalm in vietnam movies.

 

Then I started to read up. Read books about F4s in vientam. Ready online and learned just how much the aircraft was used around the world. And within a year. I was super hyped

 And now it's my second most wanted modual after the F4U Corsair 

 

I should do some reading about the F-4, or at least watch some documentaries. I was just never an F-4 fan.

 

But this module looks like it's going to be a serious flightsim tech-toy, and I jut gotta have that. Been flying sims for decades and I want to enjoy the most advanced stuff.

I recommend all of Thomas McKelvey Cleaver books on vietnam. He uses sources from all combatants. Lots of F4 action or A4 if you like that mod.

I recommend his Korea and Pacific war books too if you want to get into PTO/Hellcat/Corsair mood.

All his books are on audible if you prefer that. I spend many hours a week tending to the dogs and house. So I go through audio books like they are candy when I have a book in my years while doing that.

Thanks, but it seems there will be some or a campaign for the F4 as it is announced in the F4 product. I suppose it will be in Chernarus..... again. (as is the only map all people have). I suppose better than Marianas

Reflected is planing a campaign for the F4 and by default his campaigns are top notch. And could use any map.

That is not correct, I have the complete pdf with 730 pages

 

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't thought that the printing option allowed to "print" a pdf file, I have now the manual on my iPad, to read tonight. 👍

Will the pilot models really have blinking eyes, or was that added for cinematic effect? If so, that's a crazy level of detail!

Yes, they blink and the eyes move around like in the video. Thats in-game footage.

Do the eyes widen just before you slam into the ground because you were too busy looking at (literal) eye candy and not looking where you were going?!

Can we with eye tracking in our vr headset control the blinking?

In the manual, there is an item called Performance Balancer.
This is a module setting that simplifies the processing of virtual components and reduces CPU usage.

Does the presence of these features indicate that the F-4E's virtual component functionality is extremely processing intensive?

What do you mean? The map-view from the Video?

That is a just a cinematic, trademark of Adrian Caparzo, the creative mind beyond many DCS Movies. He made this Promo Video and my all-time favorite „ELI21“.

Our benchmark is the Tomcat, we aim for a similar performance. The option is there because it was a low hanging fruit to offer and some people will likely appreciate it.

You're right, but I often read manuals as bedtime reading. It calms me down when I go to sleep and is also supposed to improve my memory. 😉

I’m thinking I’ll print the manual, stick it under my pillow and learn by osmosis 🤣🤣… might be the only way to get it through my thick skull quicker 🤠
