- Welcome to the first of several episodes, aiming to give you a better overview of all the features and technologies we've developed for DCS: F-4E, coming with our recreation of the legendary Phantom II for DCS World. In this episode, we'll be focusing on introducing the Phantom, and giving you a quick overview of some of the unique aspects of our new components based simulation framework and design decisions behind developing it. Stay tuned for future episodes, focusing on topics such as the flight model, systems, APQ-120 radar, Cold Start, and more as we get increasingly technical and specific.
Thank you for all of your support and love and see you in the skies! - Hry
"Not now honey, the new heatblur video just dropped"
fr
Don't worry she's going to have a permanent headache until the typhoon drops.
Facts
Who tf needs a honey when you have DCS?
That’s what I said exactly😂
At 54-years-old, starting with flight simulators made with green dots on a monochrome screen, I can express how grateful I am to be alive with these advancements in simulation coming around today. Heatblur Simulations clearly has their heads on straight when it comes to authenticity. Thank you!
I’m 63 and I started with SubLogic flight sim on the TRS-80 model 1. That eventually became Microsoft Flight Sim.
anyone who has been in this DCS space for a few years know that once tutorial videos start, the module is just around the corner - and i'm all here for it!
Going off of the F-14’s launch, the first “tutorial” video like this one means we are at least a couple of months out.
@@thebrain7441 I've been waiting for months already!!!
@@thebrain7441that was quite a few years ago tho and they did say itd be released this winter (although it is very possible that its delayed)
@@jeevungill7096 I thought they said Q1, not Winter
@@maotseovich1347about the same time anyways
Cannot wait to fly this in DCS - Phantoms Phorever!!! Thanks for posting this, Heatblur so many cool new features to be excited about.
raising the bar for every DCS module like aways
HeatBlur: The Eagle _Beyond_ Dynamics ;)
Secretly, ED probably hates these guys.
@@thebrain7441don’t quote me on this but I’m pretty sure something once happened when HB showed that ED was a bit inferior but obviously it’s ED’s game and I think they where a bit annoyed. But I know that HB do help develop the game in some ways!
@@thebrain7441 Well, after all it took these guys AGES to finally bring their "Tomcats" flight dynamics to whereabouts it belongs.
@@getsideways7257yeah and EDs F-18 still isn't done after six years.
hearing that all the gauges actually are simulated with friction and the most minute insignificant details are accounted for is WHY i like Heatblur. I am beyond excited.
There are a lot of us scared about performance. I hope if it takes a lot of resources that we can turn these details off for fps.
@@vecnejhipik5349 Well, we now have multi threading after all. Such stuff shouldn't impact visual performance at all if written properly.
@@vecnejhipik5349 I am afraid too for performance, but usually things like this run through the CPU as it's all code and not related to graphics. So just buy a CPU upgrade; if you can afford the module and hardware for DCS, you can probably afford the CPU.
It won't affect performance at all@@vecnejhipik5349
I can’t wait…..
Doing above and beyond your part in keeping DCS alive and modern!
Eyyy, finally! A real reason to do all those BIT tests!
I was gonna say, usually I skip most of that stuff or do an auto start but now that it will actually have some sort of impact on how the jet operates there is finally a reason to do the checks outside of just being true to military procedure.
@@giraffe1721 100%. I love it. Hope it comes to the F-14 too.
I love the "deep wear and tear" option where you can assign a very, very used aircraft to a developing nation's air force since they always seem to buy pre-owned. I can't believe the effort and level of detail that goes into this.
Hopefully they also have a new damage model that does not decide to kill the crew every time something hits the airplane. Right now, pretty much anything that touches you in any plane is fatal.
@@thebrain7441
Not true, i survived a direct head-on AIM-9 in the Tomcat. Only dmg was that my hydraulics fluid started leaking.
@@Kumyar I would imagine it was quite some time ago then. Back then, the Tomcat crew was immortal unless you crashed or the entire plane exploded. Now, after doing some testing, if an R-60 hits you in the rear (even at a low relative speed), it’s pretty much always fatal. It’s ridiculous.
@@thebrain7441 I've also noticed this. I very rarely survive when I get hit from behind in my Viggen on Enigmas Cold War server with an IR missile.
@@British_Dragon-Simulations This problem practically plagues all planes in game at the moment. It really takes away from 1, realism, and 2, the thrill of limping home in a crippled aircraft.
Needle friction, sticky hydraulics for the landing gear...wow. For some reason it's all the little insignificant details I find most exciting and novel
At 1:00 is a 163rd TFG CA ANG F-4E, with the distinctive stars and bars tail! So excited that’s one of the liveries, thank you Heatblur for including it. My Dad flew with that unit out of March AFB flying the C, E and RF. Can’t wait to fly it in DCS and show him!
This depth of simulation - This is what study level means. Great job! :)
Whoever did the models & textures for cockpit needs a raise
Some of the work is based off real flight worthy hardware.
Mother of god. the Visuals!
And the narration.
ON.POINT.
My kind of commercial, more of this please!
You guys are CRAZY !! The amount of detail is just outstanding.
I really can't to try it myself, and see all this amazing stuff transferred to my beloved Tomcat 😍
Thank you so much Heatblur team.
It's funny how far Heatblur are ahead of ED in using ED's own software. So many things, as simple as an in-game manual, that they're doing before the actual developer. Impressive work.
I mean they’re a small team working solely on one thing for years. ED moves people around and works on many things at once.
While the aircraft isn't the most sophisticated, compared to some of the later F models, it's pretty clear this release raises the bar for DCS modules, due to its complex attention to detail. Absolutely amazing.
Be waiting for your analysis soonest.
Thank God they did the E variant and not the F.
And to be fair i love older, less complex aircrafts where pilot had to do everything. They have a soul.
@@bazej1080 I hope we won't have to wait 2+ years for a naval variant of the Phantom. I know people have been waiting a long time for the Eurofighter and I'd sure like to get the A-6E, too; but I'd like to see them go all the way back to the F-4B for the naval version.
The F was just a modified E for export to Germany..
I can't wait to see these kinds of videos when the Eurofighter comes around.
Dude the new vapor effects are legit the coolest thing you guys have done. Like for real it looks crazy real. This is how you release an aircraft.
hopefully they will upgrade the f14s vapor fx
What is crazy to me is that you guys ask around $60 (in early access) for such a refined and complex model. And we also get an upgraded version down the line. (So basically 2 planes)
Compared to Warthunder which asks $70 for 10% (if they even reach that) of the fidelity compared to you guys bring.
Keep up the amazing work 👍
Nowhere near 10%. 1% would be a push. I love WT tanks, but their aircraft are abysmal. It's just Ace Combat with a more realistic skin.
Next Level Simulation. Heatblur nailed it.
The way Heatblur is pushing the sim industry is just amazing. I cannot wait to get my hands on this iconic aircraft and see what Heatblur does with these new technologies going forward. Was interested when you released the Viggin, then you drop the Tomcat (always a fan favorite) and now this. Now it's time to research Operation Bolo to build a mission. Congrats on what will be a very BIG gamechanger for DCS.
The level of in-depth per-component simulation is just Mind-blowing.
Oh yeah baby
Outstanding work! Heatblur surpasses itself with each new module. I am looking forward to fly this great bird
I am convinced that if I try to play this the spacetime continuum will rupture due to the level of realism being greater than flying the actual aircraft itself
Phantom Phriday delivers once again! Thank you Heatblooor!
My first flight sim experience was Microsoft Flight Simulator in DOS on a Tandy II. From there to here absolutely blows me away
You absolutely champions giving us the TISEO and Pave Tack Equipped F-4E!!
"every needle is simulated" my 3080 is over here crying
Cannot wait.
Seeing the attention to detail in the F-4 is amazing and makes me so glad that the rumours of Heatblur leaving DCS that swirled back after the Tomcat were just that rumours.
Bring on the phantom!
Holy smokes! Cant wait to fly it!
My God, to say the intricate attention to detail and digital craftsmanship is phenomenal would be an understatement. My mind is blown! 🤯
I'd practically kill for Heatblur to give this level of treatment to the F-105 Thunderchief. Especially the D T-Stick II, and G Wild Weasel III.
Wow, I thought the Strike Eagle was already very detailed, but this is another level. I hope all future modules will be as detailed as this one! Can't wait for the Eurofighter.
Fantastic as always! Thank you for all your work Heatblur.
The depth of the simulation will certainly make the F-4 stand out from the crowd. In addition to that - the art is BEAUTIFUL in standard HB style. Bravo!
I get more and more hyped with anticipation every time I see a new video for this, happy to say I have pre-ordered.
So Cool! I cannot wait for this jet, it looks great heatblur!
I would be willing to wager that your first video with it will be with the jet in an Israeli livery.
@@Flyboy_Gospel even though it looks better in the greek aegean ghost livery
@@andreaskatris1969 Everything looks great in the Aegean Ghost livery.
@@andreaskatris1969 my favorite is the two tone Grey USAF livery followed closely by the SEA
Almost as cool as a Mirage 2000 eh? 🤣
Looks great, happy to be seeing the WSO seat more. Keep it coming!
Heatblur, you guys are insane! And I mean that in a good way. 🙂The attention to and level of detail is....simply amazing.
I can't wait guys! It looks amazing.
*Oh my! You guys totally raised the bar!*
Just wow. No wonder this thing has been cooking for so long. Absolutely amazing work guys
Oh my word. Sounds incredible. Well done HB team
Awesome ! I think that this will be my favourite DCS module.
absolutely stunning!! well done on this beast!
The Phantom looks amazing! Great job heatblur
Flagship Module maker for DCS! Seriously appreciate the Teams attention to detail, desire to implement new features and overall media handling. Beyond hyped for the F-4!
Simply nothing short of amazing! Elevating the bar once again Heatblur!
Absolutely fabulous 👍🏻. What a beautiful job. Many thanks gentlemen. Kind regards Nick
Amazing work!
With people like HB, we have dcs for years and years to come...You are True Artists
Incredible! Can’t come any sooner.
Honestly you made a huge step for us simers, thank you sooo much for your great effort and hope to see you going even further for the typhoon module
Lovely video, thank you for releasing it ... I've already pre-purchased, and hope to have it soon on my hands. Cheers!
The Crew Chief feature is getting me hyped for this aircraft to release, So cool to be able to see something I do for work in a game like DCS.
Let’s goooooo! Looks awesome, can’t wait for the next one!
And thank you for doing these videos in ultra-wide screen!
This is going to be absolutely INSANE!
Awesome!
Can't wait!
Just awesome! Cant wait to fly it
Pretty neat. Lookin forward the the FM vid
If only we could get this attention to detail for the base simulation out of ED.
More videos PLEASE!!!!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!
Hang in their boys. This one is going to be a banger. Thanks Heatblur!
Already have my preorder in. Giving Hearblurs track record this is going to be something really special. I can’t wait.
Now that is a video. Give whoever made this video a raise.
YESSSSS PHANTOM PHRIDAY DELIVERS ❤❤
And this, ladies and gents, is why I hoped a few years ago that Heatblur will be the ones in charge of the Phantom. Their touch with older aircraft is unparalleled.
Nice woooork, looking forward to it
this video just gets your adrenaline flowing bigtime.....love it!!!!!!!
Looking forward to this!
This is the most excited I’ve been in a couple of decades. About anything.
Can't wait!!!!!
thanks for these tutorials sir!
This is future of DCS modules. And I loved that part about visibility. XD
Incredible!! I thought the BlackSquare Duke is the only deep simulated masterpiece with dozens of realistic and deeply simulated systems all capable of failing and developed with utmost attention to detail and flawless visual quality releasing this year - but here we have another pure gold nugget in the same quality. A gold nugget that flies because it got little aerodynamic wings attached to it combined with raw turbine power. :)
Some say it´s a flying brick but I think it´s a flying gold nugget just like the Heatblur F-14 and the Duke.
Oh yeah! We're so ready!
I thought i was watching the discovery channel, but then realised its heatblur!
I hope the rest of the videos are going to be like this too
Wow amazing work!!!
great guys, keep on!
Let’s go!!!! I’m beyond excited!!!!
Yeah, didn't need to start the video to like it, I'm SO HYPED for THIS!!!
I can't phucking wait
I need this plane! I so can’t wait!
Oh my lord this just got me all hyped for the phantom all ovr again
beatifoul great job heatblur!!!!
Wow, you're the best Heatblur and you deserve a lot of appreciation for what you made and what we see, keep the good work up 👏 👏 👏
اه والله يسطا
Cool!
Early Access NOW please! My favorite aircraft of all time. Childhood memories of F4 Phantoms overhead, the thunder of the engines! I have been waiting for many, many months...we are almost there....Thank you for sharing these videos.
This is amaaaaazing. I'm a 100% WWII warbird guy, restoring, modeling and fly them in the sim. But here I need to make an exception👍
nice! thank you for considering a single player! i can't wait to try this out when it's out. being a working a guy, i only have Saturday or Sunday to play the game and having an AI WSO at the back will really help me out in the sim.
Alriiiiight! Let's goooooo! 🤘😁
This is so sick
Very eagerly awaiting this release! a bit of a make or break for me and DCS as I have not flown anything in a long ass time :D
masterpiece
German F4 ICE with AIM-120 would be so cool
And this right here is why heatblur is my favorite. The level of detail is insane.
WTF did I just see!!!??? This is INCREDIBLE!!!!! :D
