The damage appears and disappears when the aircraft is fresh and undamaged. Putting the plane in "invincible" mode does not make this bug go away. This bug occurs when you start the F-14 on the ground cold, or on the ground hot, at a parking position, or in the air, and or on a carrier. The starting point does not effect this bug. This bug is visible in the DCS 2.9 Launch Video here: https://youtu.be/UDa73-p3-Ow?si=OdHO8aGDJR-vNJP2&t=109 ...you can see the damage appearing & disappearing on the left & right engine nacelles of the F-14B featured in the release video.

I have the same problem, the Forrestal carrier works just fine though for both takeoff and landing of the F-14 in DCS 2.9
