Hi Spud ! My question is why you didn’t select a dive angle on the sheet ?

Nice!!!

All nice, but it doesn't do any good watching these videos because they postponed the release again. I just gave up. If it ever does get released, I will get some excitement on. Right now, I am a little aggravated. Vaporware don't do it for me.

i can prolly start it up faster than ED can deliver it.

I see a lot of people talking about the noxious fumes but one of the few real life cartridges start of the F-4E that's on youtube happens around a crowd of people, with the canopies open..

Thanks for the tutorial. At 5.29 it probably should be holding right ignition switch.

I mostly have seen Phantoms taxiing with Canopies open prior take off. Thus I wonder why to close them before I do anything else?

Scramble start, proceeds to ramble for 3 minutes... I'll look elsewhere.

Thanks

Great video and better job explaining it fast and smooth!

Will this jet be involved in Burning sands campaign?

That cockpit is the best looking i have ever seen in a sim! You can feel the bulkiness by just looking at it

this is the vid ive been waiting for, one more day...

Reminds me of EF 2000 V2.0

FYI, advancing the throttles to mid throttle and then back to idle before hitting the cartridge or engaging the huffer is so you know the throttle linkage to those big J79's is moving freely and not bound up/needs grease/adjustment. Just like how you sweep the control surfaces before moving the jet out of it's parking spot. You don't want to get any one of them jammed in burner/wrong setting for the flight regime and not be able to retard them for landing, prevent overspeeding the jet, etc.

I always get a giggle when I hear Pop music from the late 60's and early 70's whenever there is a Vietnam era weapon system/operation in a movie/simulation/game. Those pilots saw themselves as old west cowboys/gunfighters/sheriffs... not rock and roll hippies of the time. They even wore spurs on their flying boots. Country and Western was what they listened to in their spare time/driving to and from the ramp.

heya spud, what's your favorite livery?

Been flying the Strike Eagle. Was eyeing this to fly in the meantime until they get everything sorted. Wasn’t a fan of the lack of view in the cockpit but I’m interested in using Jester. Is it worth the purchase? Any comparisons to the Strike Eagle?

Wow!!!!!! Thank you, Spud!

Honestly...I suspect the first little while when I'm in my Phantom I'll just be sitting around oogling the liveries. That is one slick-looking bird.

Thank you mate!

Brilliant as always Spud

It’s funny y’all having the module and we DONT EVEN GET IT THE DAY THE SAID FOR F*** SAKE!! well have fun flying it

ermm what the sigma

what the sigma

What’s up Spud?

Hey guys! This tutorial should help you get started up as fast as possible in the DCS F-4E Phantom II From Heatblur! I hope you guys have an absolutely blast with her once shes in your hands!

Great video away from the bad guys part

Just need Typhoon, F35 and F22 eventually

Alt F4! Let's go

Not a Spudknocker video without some sort of Israel reference lol

Oh wow, a Dive Toss tutorial with the F4 Phantom, and not the MC2000...

Great guide thank you for this. Amazing formation flying its something I never learned 😂 have a great day

10:02 as a Japanese person, I feel personally attacked lol . Although it's 100% true, all the cockpit images of the f-4ej's look spotless

Awesome demonstration. Thanks a lot for sharing this video.

Nice video! Small correction, the drag coefficient is dependent on altitude and speed, not just the weapon. If you adjust the values, you will see the drag coefficient changing. The changes are typically rather minor though, so it is likely that even if you do not fly your desired profile accurately, bombs will still hit somewhere around the target. It starts to matter on extreme values though, or if you really need pinpoint precision 🙂

That was cool. I don't think our time zones would work for a lesson. I'm down under in AU.

Next video can you please spend 5-10minutes describing the history of rivets specifically those used in the DCS Digital Combat Simulator and the derivation thereof?

Great video Thanks! looks like the A4 Computer Bombing but with a further step for more accuracy!

Maaan. I was flying this thing in Wings Over Vietnam for so many years. I'm curious to see how the experience compares and if my acquired skills will count.

Love the tutorial plus history tidbits for additional reading. Context is everything!

I have no idea how to start the F-4E up, but now I know how to dive toss munitions. Jokes aside, nice tutorial, keep up the good work!

Thanks Spudknocker! That's probably one of the first A-G bomb drop techniques I'll try with the F-4E tomorrow! I'll just make sure I can fly the jet first.

Really nice module! It's been ages in the making

Well you gave a lot of great information on this tutorial, like the bombing table page. I thought I had to fly on a specific dive angle and speed. But now I know that only the bomb type and delivery modes are important. That way the attack profile is more flexible, and the process is very similar to the A-4E bombing computer delivery. Thanks a lot!

Really great video, Spud. The truly hands-on flying and delivery method will be fun to master.

i wish i had a nice smooth pullout :c

Beautiful! Very nice video..!

Everything is so analog lol. Antiquated. Kinda similar to the F-5. Its actually pretty simple, just cant forget anything.
