MFFK+ICE Tech F-4 Phantom II NAVY v1.0 Version 1.0

This is definitely the best available F-4 and probably the way we'd like all planes in SL to be made.

Very detailed and precisely made mesh wrapped into historical high quality and hi-rez textures. It's beautiful.

Realistic, yet very easy flight. It's something really surprising... This plane is scripted in realistic manner, with realistic flight effects, but does not annoy pilot in flight with unnecessary overcomplications. It can fly at good variety of speeds with respect to natural limits of SL game engine, can be fast and can be slow. It doesn't bother pilot with trimming to throttle, deadly slow climb and other questionable features of "realistic" flight scripts we used to know. It has predictable stall, drop of speed and altitude. It's easy to land and take off. It's very comfortable and enjoyable. Don't let the manual written in many letters scare you: even a rookie pilot can fly this plane. Probably the best approach to flight simulation in SL has been finally found.

VICE combat system and weapons got interesting improvements for better realism of combat simulation within common agreement on balance. RIO got they job to do, and it's fun.

The plane is a masterpiece, unmistakably.

Still, a drip of critics. The things you may expect but won't get:
- no legendary nosewheel extension on take-off nor catapult reins as we've seen in Aeon's plane.
- 6 variants are in fact all the same Navy/USMC F-4B/J with minor difference. No, you won't get long nose nor a gun.
- yep, no gun. It's US Navy, lasses.
- plane comes with 1 paint and it's NOT Jolly Rogers. Yarrr?!
(okay, it's mod and base texture is transferrable so just find a painter)
- no dynamic camera. Use your own HUDs.

In overall, this is an outstanding plane. It costs a fortune, but worth its price.

Advanced jet and it handles like a dream.
Tons of options and features.
Worth every penny.
Buy it... no, buy two... your best friend wants one too!
