F-4F Phantom II Professional for FSX/FS2004

With more than a dozen different repaints, most of which come with individual ID codes, you have plenty options to refine your F-4F to your tastes. Painted with real acting dirt and scuff marks, these can be thought of as battle scars, acting as reminders of all of your past operations; fantastic for role-players that want to create a back story or service history for their F-4F.

A lot of the features in this package are adjustable, so you can tailor your experience to suit your mood. For instance, sometimes you might want to fly with your interactive wingman staying close in formation and sometimes you might want to take to the skies on a solo mission. Or you may want to switch it up and cycle between the two different views available in the virtual cockpit, either the pilot view or the view of the weapons            system officer. However you choose to customize your experience, there are plenty of features that you'll be able to enjoy regardless of the settings you choose.

The interior virtual cockpit has an increased resolution to better accommodate new 3D elements. All switches and controls, from the pedals to the control stick, are shown in 3D. Paired with realistic cockpit lighting that helps make the cockpit an environment better suited to enjoyable flights and allowing for full immersion.

Special effects like reflective surfaces help the aircraft feel like a part of the simulated environment. While others, like the afterburner effect, aid in making the F-4F's speed of over 2,000km/h feel both authentic and absolutely awesome. This F-4F is a great example of what AFS-Design are capable of; they'vedelivered yet another package the marries strong visuals with a challenging and joyful flight experience.
