pre-orders used to be cool, i remember waiting in line at gamestop for halo 3 midnight release, and they definitely didnt disappoint. unfortunately times changed and I agree, pre-orders for most things game related are not worth it anymore.
6 months later I'm replying to this but I too recall midnight preorder releases at Gamestop. Special times. Those days are long gone now so preorders make way less since in the digital age with unlimited supply. Makes way more sense for physical goods that can run out
I've pretty much sworn off pre-ordering with the exception of two or three places! Lol Eagle Dynamics and Heatblur are two of them that I'll feel comfortable pre-ordering from. Heatblur has been consistently awesome with their releases and ED has, in my opinion, cleaned up after their Viper release debacle. The Phantom was a first hour purchase as soon as I watched the reveal trailer! lol
I just bought the f4 like 10 mins after I saw the trailer … but I love the f4 tho. Normally I don’t preorder but I think I can trust heatblur with this :D
I’ll be preordering the F4; HeatBlur’s work has consistently been of high quality that I feel I can trust what they will put out. I messed with the VSN phantom early in it’s release, and will certainly be revisiting it. It looks like it’s had a few tweaks and adjustments, so I’ll need to Give it another look. The IFF is cool, but would like to see some updates to the radar presentation.
We seem to purchase everything these days in beta form and that seems to be ok with market. Very maddening but seems to be the way these days. I will purchase the F4 to support the cause.
I've supported DCS since it was called LOMAC and the AI is still utterly retarded. I've been buying new 'skins' for my aircraft for 20 years, but everything around me has stayed at the same level of stupid. Right now helicopters are even dumber than in Black Shark 1, thanks to more untested patches. Maybe if we keep throwing money at ED, they may invest some time into the core gameplay, rather than releasing new modules.
13:25 actually the lead missed awfully, even though his bombs are the only ones that hit. See they were flying off of him and releasing on his cues, not aiming on there own. Essentially the flight lead is aiming for the entire flight. Lead man had a 33% direct hit rate. Had he been 15 feet to the left he would have had nearly 100%.
I really hope Diesel does the same to this aircraft as he did to the A4. ATM this thing is a bit of a rust bucket, throttle for whatever reason will not invert from being reversed, and using the armament is a pain in the ass at times. Really looking forward to its development though.
Pre-orders we’re great in the 90’s & early 2000’s because the store might not get enough games on release day…plus you got some good bonuses. Nowadays, they’re useless. Everything is digital. Bonuses include a digital sticker or currency to make you spend more. The risk is that the product gets delayed and/or the dev doesn’t follow through with release.
Just found your channel and after watching quite a few of your videos, your intro montages are amazing! Comparable (actually better in some instances) than trailers released by Eagle Dynamics / Heatblur etc well done 👍
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING Im a simple man: Some great editing and your take on the jet would be great. ;-) Maybe some A/G stuff, this was the most dangerous stuff in this jet and one of the numerous reasons of the high accident rate in the German Luftwaffe. But if my information is right VSN is working on a standalone version of the Starfighter mod, maybe it is a good idea to wait for it.
Hello. I am flying the latest version of the VSN F4. But I'm not sure I'm using the IFF correctly, because I don't see the green color in allied contacts. And I also don't see the dots in the hud that are seen on the sides of the collimator. What is it about? Thank you so much
I think I am just about done with pre order as well.......I flew my F15 a lot for a few days, then got bored with it being so brain damaged out the box :(
I am new to DCS and was able to download the vsn F4. But it is not working in dcs and I don't know why. It is saying something about MHz problems. Did I install it wrong? Do you know how to install it properly? At the I am not willing to spend €70 for a module which I am not sure of if I will like it
@@robhoofs3932 it bin a while but there was an update that messed up a lot of the modded aircraft… you should go on VSN discord to find out how to download it. Also a lot of the mods use the FC3 dlc that gives you like 7 low fidelity aircraft
Not at this time; you’d need to ask him to add it to the missions, and many admins dislike doing that because it leads to adding more and more jets that you need to download and install from external sources. Sadly, there’s a significant portion of the community that are very adverse to mods. It took a lot of years of relative stability and consistent quality for the A4 to get added.
@@DTMCRAZYGAMING He's just part of the lowest 5%, who can't even be bothered to read the manual. You know: jump on a random server, pick an aircraft, auto-start, press the red button and expect results.
From my experience, ED is a shit developer. AI is stupid, missions are regularly broken by updates and rarely fix, yet all they feed us are new modules to buy. This has been going on for 15 years and there are no signs of improvement.
avoid fighting AI MiG-21 without placing an unjettisonable fuel tank, and I would go as far as putting bombs on pylons 1 and 2. Otherwise the MiG-21 AI UFO fight model will beat your F-4 in a 2 circle fight as it did in the first half of the video.
you are funny to me, you are looking for a plane and you drive a plane in which the engines, radars, rockets and avionics are already working properly and you can have fun with it as if it were real, you already have a ready-made mod that is beautifully modeled and works, and the problem is that you are damned, I don't even buy it one American model of airplane except those I have in FC3, when the Rafal and Su-30, MiG-23 come out, then I will buy

the heatblur offical F4 isnt far from release though, when that comes out this mod is mostly irrelevant
@@Swatmat nope, because the Hearblur one is the Echo model, VSN is the Bravo/Charlie model.
