First a shot for Javis. The Milviz ported Phantom has been updated and is comparable to the Milviz Sabre now. The exterior model is in native MSFS format, and she smokes like a Phantom should!

Thanks Priller !

I do not have Milviz Sabre here in MSFS ( i can't forget my own sweet ol' Lady Sabre from FS9, i'd feel i'd betray her with that Milviz dame.. ). You mean the canopy glass is alright for both of these port overs? Can you tell a bit more about the F-4. For us non members there's not much to see on Milviz FB. Is there an ETA f.i. ?

Thank you ! :encouragement:
 
Hi Javis,

Indeed, as you can see in my screenshots, the canopy glass of both the F-86 and the latest iteration of the F-4E (not the J yet) are now ok/visible. Because the exterior models have been converted to native MSFS format. The interior models are still .MDL format because Milviz demanded that. It is after all their model.

You can also change the loadouts in the weight and balance section. The F-4E also contains a ton of repaints. It's enough to keep me happy until a decent fully native MSFS Phantom is released.

The model is released on Facebook. It's not released by Milviz/Blackbird at all. They just agreed to let other people release this partly converted model.

Cheers,

Priller
 
Nice images Jan, no doubt you did some searching for the patterns both aircraft and ground. Good job.
 
I finally took the Tomcat to sea, and successfully capturing a wire on that carrier deck is way harder than the Youtubers make it look! Though the challenge sure makes it addicting. The Heatblur/IFE F-14 comes with some nicely detailed static Forrestal-class carriers positioned around the world, as seen in my screenshots, but I'm thinking I might have to purchase the Miltech carriers too.

Ok,thanks Priller ! Great shot and the canopy glass sure does look mighty good ! However the trouble starts when there's another transparent object *behind* the glass of a port-over canopy and that's not the case in your screenie. But as you say both the Milviz F-86 and F-4 externals have native MSFS formats now that'll be no longer an issue. Great !

Sure ! Maybe we can assume Colin is looking for a full blown native MSFS F-4 of the payware kind ?... Or he might be worried about the IFE/Heatblur combo to drop down on his 6 with their F-4 ??... If the same superior quality as their F-14 he don't stand no chance i guess...

Indeed. The trouble with a thing like the IFE/HB F-14 is that they have set a precedent i.e. can we still be happy with anything less qualitywise regarding jetfighter models.... Time will tell...

Roger that. I hate Facebook (sorry) but my ladyfriend needed me to be on it. Prrrrt. So how or where can i get that halfbaked F-4 model then, Priller ? As you say Milviz itself has nothing to do with it ?

Thanks mate ! :encouragement:

Thanks, Jan Kees ! Best fun time we had creating it. Hansi Naegele, Rob Young, Cliff Presley, Dudley Henriques, the betatesters and all other friends who contributed. Really created BY the community FOR the community. Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end.... but they did....looooong time ago

Say, Jan Kees, extraordinairy screenshots of your 109 repaints ! What kind of desert are you flying over ?

Thanks ! ;)

Jan, they are repaints for aircraft of 2./JG77 when they were based in Tunisia. At first I tried shots in the middle of Tunisia (like the first shot), but it was all a bit too civilized for my liking, so I went to the extreme south of Tunisia, where the real sandy Sahara starts.

Here's a few more:

Jan, the entire series are very artistically done.

Remember to set it up with the wind coming straight down the deck at the speed the carrier would be moving to more accurately simulate the landing. It should also make it easier. What is that, usually around 30knots? It's been a while for me. I'll have to really practice because when I start I always approach too high and too slow.
