I really want this module but like you I'm worried that it will be like the F-14 or worse for performance.

I will continue to dither until 20th May at 23:59. Then I will panic, rush into action and buy it. 

Have you given in and bought the module lol I think I am going to have to buy...err maybe

I wonder what time the update is planned to be available for download?

Usually updates seem to drop from around 1300-1400 GMT onwards.

One day more.
Another day, another thread to read.
These never ending roads until release.
These men who seem to own my time, won't give me a peek and it's a crime,
One day mooooore..

Was specifically noted at 1500 GMT in previous newsletter.  I've made a calendar reminder for myself so I can multi-task during a work mtg....

Yes. I thought I would last until today but I have in and bought it yesterday. I'm busy reading the manuals and watching all the reviews. I am away until Sat so won't be able to fly it until then

Bought it today. Gave in, the fact it’s releasing with a pilot in cockpit was what done it in the end for me. I’m really looking forward to it.

Time to put up the steering wheels, and dust off the virpils...

About the last chance to abort launch now, Heatblur. Just say the word, two more weeks?

Fair enough, didn't realise such a mod existed.

It should be available on the VSN Discord, as VSN lost their host several months back
I found the VSN Phantom (F-4C) very hard to fly.  It only likes to go fast, and I found myself focused more on the AoA meter than anything else.  It didn't take much to spin it like a Phrisbee and drop like a stone.

That being said. I doubt very much HB's F-4 will be anything like it, other than roughly the same shape.

Don't forget the F-4 was/is an energy fighter, you won't be winning many radius fights with this beast, you will need to keep the speed up if you want to survive.

I like this teaser better:

Eager waiting for any sort of announcement, either good or bad.

[BIGNEWY]

Hi folks, had a little tidy up in the thread, please stay on topic here, and discuss DCS F-4E only. 

Exciting day today, final checks in progress CDN being prepared, so keep your fingers and toes crossed. 

thank you

I’m so excited for the release of the F-4. It’s been such a long road and I can’t wait to finally fly this legend.

Kiowa when? 

‘Just kidding!

But, no seriously…when?
