This is the Milviz F-4J Phantom II for FSX, converted for use with MSFS and distributed as freeware with permission from Milviz/Blackbird.
If you like this aircraft, make sure to download the companion F-4E pack:

Key Features:
- Wing ordinance can be customized using the payload weight in the pop-up menu. Default loadout is center tank and outer pylons. Whatever loadout you select can be seen by other players
- Air show smoke is tied to the Logo Lights but only when enabled in the payload menu
- Canopies can be opened when on the ground using the Taxi Lights keybind
- The aerial refueling probe can be extended using the Wing Lights keybind
- Wing fold and tailhook animations are visible in multiplayer
- Engine smoke has been added when at high power but not afterburner. It is visible on other players but will look a bit thinner due to limitations of MSFS. If it proves too laggy for some people I will include instructions for disabling it
- Wing vapor and a vapor cone effect have been added. Some vapor effects and contrails are visible in multiplayer
- A drag chute will be deployed with the spoilers when on the ground
The cockpit gauges are partially functional but nothing in the cockpit is clickable. Milviz made this a condition of releasing it, so it will not be changed.
The cockpit model is now native, meaning this aircraf DOES work in VR!
Known issues:
- Weapons or effects may flash quickly when you hit a light keybind. If you have a controller that continuously forces certain lights either on or off, it will likely interfere with the weapon and effect visibility.
- The flight model has been developed to give 'about right' handling, but no particular attention has been paid to specific speeds, fuel consumption, etc.
Thank you to Milviz for generously providing permission to share this, and thank you to Joe Laars for contributing so many liveries!

Just one thing that is a disappointment for me is the lack of the Royal Navy livery!
Is there any chance that this could be included?
Thank you again for making this possible.

Many thanks for this excellent work!
i've noticed a very small error in the aircraft.cfg file:
What is called "VF-145" is in reality "VF-142".
Can you please correct it?
Cheers,
Stéph.

(Also to add, I don't think that I've flown anything else other than the T-38, the A-10 and now this is my new favourite, since they were released! - really really appreciate these aircraft, plus the back seat of this aircraft is stunning, the cockpit is phenomenal in VR - as is the front - real privilege to "sit" in them).

Some folks do not get the idea of what it is to give to a community, and think that these aircraft have to be perfect when they are ported, and FREE!!!!
Keep up the good work and don't listed to them.
