  ### THE BEST OLD ERA AIRCRAFT SIMULATION IN FSX (so far) ### Really! 1: flight controls are as good as it gets. I mean, this thing seems to fly like the real F4. Anyone complainning about loosing control and spinning into the ground are absolute bad pilots. It is suposed to do that, it's a simulation, it will simulate. The F4 has some strange characteristics during transonic flight, without the correct AOA it will dive uncontrollably, then just after the transition to supersonic flight it will completely change that and you have to be ready to control the nose. Look up F-4 PHANTOM FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS on yt. 2: it has an amazing weapons configuration tool. It can't shoot them, though. But it looks awesome and I love trying different weight configurations in challenging conditions. #Don't listen to the bad reviews that have nothing to do with the product# It took me a long time to get this DLC beacuse of the mixed reviews so I thought I'd come here and do it some justice. Nowadays playing msfs2000 I still miss the chalenges this specific plane posed me. If you love the Phantom this is definitely a good buy even today!

  Looks fantastic but the control surfaces don't work. I have throttle and brakes with this aircraft and that's it, whereas everything works fine with my other models. Very big disappointment because I've been wanting an F-4 for a long time and visually it's a beautiful job they've done.

  Terrible on so many levels. I have purchased quality aircraft on steam a few times before. This is not even a functional one much less quality. New to Steam can I get a refund?

  I have been cautiously observing this particular aircraft to see if it got updates or new reviews that weren’t so negative. I got on sale anyway and I’m glad I did. It does work, fly and look great! I don’t get what all the fuss is about? I don’t have some high end gaming rig. Just a middle of the road HP. I can’t say it’s perfect but I think I found out why people are freaking out over the controls. The F4 by nature doesn’t perform well at slow speeds, and is not a agile aircraft at any speed. However you can lose control of it when at or near a stall. Just add a little thrust or pitch down some to pick up speed and you will have full control over the plane again. I’ve put 3 hours on this prior to writing this review and just love this plane. It’s touchy sure, but it’s an F4 Phantom, not an F18 Hornet. You do need to pay attention to your situations in order to fly and land this baby successfully. Don’t expect to pull 7 G turns or make slow high banking break outs, the Phantom just isn’t that capable. You can with practice perform up to its full capabilities but if you can’t turn right without controlling your speed and angle of attack consistently, she will bite you. Be sure to also click “Run” and “Yes or OK” when first asked or you will have other problems with loading and whatnot. Don’t be scared of the “do you trust this publisher” notices just click YES or RUn or whatever it says on your PC that means about the same thing. It doesn’t tax my system no lag etc, and the plane looks real nice. The only things I haven’t really figured out yet is how to turn on the gun sight and radar....assuming either actually turn on in the first place? Since I’m not going to be doing any actual combat I don’t really care that much. Still I’d like to at least know either way. Lots of liveries! A detailed load out configuration tool is included to put all the bombs, rockets, misses and even gun pod and fuel tanks on the belly to whatever your liking is....as long as it is balanced. Very cool. Guns do not fire but “I” key toggles Smoke. You can even load up the combat computer to plot a mission with coordinances in detail and even set wind elevation etc. haven’t tried that yet, but might be cool? So I guess I’m saying there not really anything wrong with this....I think the bad reviews are from impatient kids or folks with slow PCs, or maybe people who just don’t want to learn how to fly this monster. It’s not the “unflyable” aircraft some make it out to be. Edit—After several more hours flying this plane I found that the gun sight needs to be centered. So when you turn it on and nothing appears, scroll the dial on the left until the sight comes into view. Also it seems that not all liveries are created equal? I can’t explain it, and this shouldn’t be possible but certain liveries actually perform better or worse than others. How....huh? Well that’s what I’m experiencing. I haven’t tried them all yet but I should warn that some liveries do indeed have serious control issues while others are just fine. This may not be the same for everybody and it’s possible the load out may also be related to this...however since most are fine I stand by my review and recommendation with a little added caution for potential buyers. It seems that you really do need to learn the aircraft more than most.
