IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - Due to severe and unexpected issues with our new UI system during the commencement of mass testing; we've made the tough choice to delay DCS: F-4E until the early spring - with a strong target of April and a launch absolutely NO later than May. Read more about the reasons why and what the issues were here: bit.ly/49SFqJJ
Welcome to an episode focused on navigating the F-4E Phantom! It's far more complex than you may think; and navigating correctly will be a true challenge. Make sure to read the Navigation sections in the online manual for more information:
f4.manuals.heatblur.se/system...
Thank you for all of your support and see you in the skies soon!
Voice Over narration by Jonathan A. Williams.

As a software engineer driving towards a critical delivery myself, I feel your pain. Better to release a good product that works and is fit for function than "meet the date" but with critical problems.

Users can appreciate the effort you folks put in and the honesty you represent. In an age of "two weeks" being the joke for updated release dates, the more legitimate-sounding date extension and detailed transparency goes a long way. I've been in love with the F-14 since you released it and am willing to be patient for the same love and care on your next modules.

In the last update the F-16 datalink was broken or when they updated the radar of the 16 and 18 you could lock targets on the ground with the radar like fire or tanks. Dont be a kid and say the 15 its broken cuz all of them are, the Strike Eagle it had from far a more complete EA than the F-18 or 16 featuring way more stuff than they did and also has some stuff that they dont have at the moment (like a comples datalink or a good radar model for example) Please, we are very bad used to this
