Just a quick question cause i am curious. Is this project still in developement? I like this plane, flies well, kills everything we throw at her, but i CANT land her! This is quite frustrating for me who loves flying cockpit view only/full realism. As it is with no proper cockpit instruments, it is INCREDIBLY dificult to judge landing approach speeds and even formation flying is difficult! My younger brother is building a Phantom campaign, and a working cockpit would be awesome! Id rather not crash on landing at the end of EVERY sortie! lol Especially since he wants it to be carrier operations....

I know, i know, i could turn on those little speed bar thingys on the side of my screen, but it just feels wrong.

i was just wondered if it would be futile to hope for one one day????

sheesh quit yer yappin'
if you read, you'll see that the guys at freemodding are gonna make a workin pit for this plane
hope this gets rid of any confusion,

oops sorry, i did try to read back several pages before i asked this question but i didnt notice anything about it, but to be honest, havent even looked for it at freeil2modding!  ill check it out! thanks

man what you mean with "cant land her"

seem to me that Phantoms are the jets more "landable", in carrier too (obviously except small fighters as Sabres, Fagots/Frescos and Cougars)....you can land with it in a road too if you want

large carriage, high lift at low speed, stable.....what do you want more! 

Fresco, which is you approach speed?

optimal is around 250/60 km/h

[4S_Vega]

F-4 is a 20 tonns plane that  reach mach 2.3..... you cannot hope to fly it as a Me-109 or like a small jet as Sabre

but, with right tecnics:

You can land in airfields






In a carrier







and, if you need............

Just curious - you are not the ones who work on cockpit, are you? Still, do you have any news about cockpit progress?

[mojojojo]

it took me a while to land this bird, but its been pretty easy ever since i figured it out.

I am the one who work on it and still doesn't know any news about the cockpit progress...LOL. Sorry guys, there's some "priority" going on in the back ground. But I'm still active, so it'll get done one day...

[mojojojo]

lol yeah i guess getting out one of those amazing new planes you're working on (F/A-18 or Su-22 prehaps?) would be more important. im patiently waiting for the cockpit and these new planes. best of luck on these projects!

i get what you all are sayin... lol, and i dont expect it to fly anything like a 109! ...i should know.... i can fly the 109s in my sleep! The 109s are my all-round favorite aircraft STILL! So i fly them a lot and fully appreciate the differences between them and the phantom.
And YES the phantom handles beautifully! You can dogfight with her, fly on the edge of a stall and still turn cause she's still stable/powerful... and she carries a HECK of a bombload if you feel like layin' a hurtin' on some poor guy on the ground! 

but landing is just not working out for me... its frustrating cause my brother(the one building the campaign i mentioned) can set her down nicely about 95% of the time, while, try as i might, i explode EVERY time. Its probably... yeah.. i think its the ONLY plane in the game that i CANT get to land safely.... im starting to doubt myself

I'll try to be more particular with my touch down speeds, but im pretty sure mine are about the same and certainly never over 300. The plane feels like its about to fall out the sky on approach. sometimes it just explodes, sometimes it touched down fine on the main gear but when i set the nose wheel down it immediately snaps and i explode anyway. I have tried with and without loadouts. Probably more practice is needed is all.... ill keep at it!

I more often fly the SuperSabre, and Crusader anyway and those i can set down without a hitch using cockpit instruments only. Touching down right at 200knots( according to indicator).

do you have the last version of F-4?

i repeat, landing with it is very easy....look at the pic posted by me in the previous page
