FSX Virtavia F-4 Phantom II Pack 3 Update

Virtavia F-4 Phantom II Pack 3 Update. The author has updated the flight dynamics and changed gauges where necessary and added a few gauges like a second autopilot so you can fly a GPS course. All the aircraft in this pack, ten models and eight textures, have good virtual cockpits. This is the whole aircraft. By Bob Chicilo.

This is an update for FSX of the Virtavia F-4 Phantom II pack 3. I am uploading the packs separately so people don't have such a big file to download and so they can better choose what they want out of the 3 packs. I have updated the flight dynamics and changed gauges where necessary and added a few gauges like a second autopilot so you can fly a GPS course. All the aircraft in this pack, 10 models and 8 textures, have good virtual cockpits. This is the whole aircraft.

Unzip to a folder of your choice. Copy the aircraft folder to the airplanes folder. Copy the effects to the main FS effects folder. All gauges should be in the aircraft panel folder. You can just leave them there, or copy them to the main FS gauges folder. The exception is the concorde gauge which can be found on the web; if you don't already have it.

If you have not already done so, copy the .cab files from the default aircraft panel folders that have them to the main FS gauges folder. For some the .cab flies will be .zip files, as .cab files are a type of zip file.

The autopilot toggles with the overhead icon.

NOTE: THE DRAG CHUTE DOES NOT WORK IN FSX FOR ANY AIRCRAFT IN ANY OF THE 3 PACKS. PROBABLY FOR A SIMILAR REASON AS TO WHY THE VC DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY FOR THE AIRCRAFT IN PACK 1 AND MOST OF PACK 2.

See [reference speeds] section of the aircraft.cfg file for operating speeds.

Anyone: You have my permission to use any of my updates with the following conditions: One, you don't try to make money with them. Two, you don't try to hurt, or take something from anyone by using them.
