OVERVIEW



Feel the thrill of operating from an aircraft carrier, learn the intricacies of your aircraft and use your weapons against enemies in the air and on the ground! The SWS F-4B/N Phantom II is the definitive simulation of the iconic F-4B Phantom II! This exciting rendition contains:



• Detailed models of the F-4B and F-4N

o Multiple variants and two cockpits covering different eras!

o Sleek loadout manager

o Customizable exteriors

• Deep flight and systems modeling, different for each aircraft

• USS Coral Sea with customizable deck and elevator operation!

• TacPack ready out-of-the-box!

The product is compatible with Flight Simulator X:Gold, Acceleration, Steam Edition and Prepar3Dv2, v3, v4. A single installer is provided covering all versions.



VISUAL MODEL



• High quality exterior model created from scratch, using hundreds of drawings and photographs to ensure great detail and accuracy! From the shape of the aircraft to the smaller mechanical parts that can be seen, every aspect of the F-4B has been reproduced painstakingly.

• 16 liveries have been carefully researched and created, showing the great schemes of the 60's and 70's, while weathering is can be seen where needed on these used, but still "factory fresh" aircraft.

• Two high-detail virtual cockpits, where the pilot and RIO cockpits have been modeled with great attention to detail! You will feel as if you are sitting in the real thing, whether sitting high to see the carrier, or low to look down the RADAR scope and working through your weapons.





PROFESSIONAL FLIGHT DYNAMICS

The F-4B/N Phantom II flight dynamics are the result of comprehensive study of many technical reports from official sources such as NASA. We spent a lot of time investigating the "phlight" characteristics and working with experimental data from the real F-4. Using results from real test data, scale models, wind tunnel data and analysis, an .air file -containing more than 50 custom made tables- provides a result that will satisfy the purist.



Our simulation of the J79-GE-8 turbojets provides accurate accelerations and top speeds for both dry and afterburning thrust. You will be surprised to find how fast the F-4B can accelerate to its top speed of M1.2 at sea level, as well as the rate at which it drinks up your fuel.



SYSTEMS



The F-4B/N essentially contains two technical variations:

• An early F-4B, representative of the early 1960s variants, before AFC-218:

o No EW and countermeasures are present

o Aircraft approach speeds are higher than later B and N models, as no slotted stabilator and drooping ailerons are present

o Electrical & Hydraulic systems work differently compared to the later F-4B/N aircraft.

o The ejection seats are the Martin Baker Mk. H5 models, with no 0-0 ejection capability

• Various post 1968 variants of the F-4B and the F-4N. The main differences compared to the early F-4B are:

o Countermeasure dispensers

o Various EW modifications: APR-24, Shoehorn 1 & 3 and more

o Martin Baker Mk.H7 seats with 0-0 ejection capability

o Cockpit upgrades reflecting these changes: RWR displays, seats, different layout

o Lower approach speeds



WEAPONS



The F-4B/N comes TacPack-ready out of-the-box! If you own a license of TacPack you will be able to use the F-4’s RADAR and weapons to attack air and ground targets in FSX and P3D.

Non-TacPack users are also provided with a special version of the payload manager enabling them to load the Phantom with any store combination they wish!
