I’m with you. The “A” will sound like the Tomcat I love as well.

I’m slightly devestated that it’s looking like a possible release July time. And I have a baby due that month and will be doing very little with the F-14. Great update btw guys. Thankyou.

Hilarious. Love it :clap_2:

I think they did exactly the same with the Viggen. The textures were one of the last things to be applied.

Many Thanks Crazyeddie

Sorry all I'm getting is a seasonal tree mod, maybe I wasn't quick enough any possibility you could re-link?

by any chance does anyone know if there is a workaround for the missing canopy textures on the Tornado in DCS 2.5?

OK many thanks.

is there a chance this could be made available as a mod?

Using their own words from their FB page We're pushing ourselves harder than ever towards reaching Early Access release ready status! Quick mini update below: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=202264 I'm really hoping so.

I love reading these HB updates when they arrive

I shall make a conscious effort to remember Gos every time I see the A-4 in DCS.

Interesting that they state turbojet and turboshaft engines as well for future modules.

Poor man. Such sad news. Condolences to his wife and family if she reads this, so sorry for your loss.

I look forward to seeing how you get on. The low poly fuel tanks and pods let down what is quite a nice A.I Tornado model.

Is there a way to slave the TGP to a waypoint yet can anyone tell me?

Out of curiosity did the F-14b with its F110-GE-400 engines have that same distinctive engine whine, (thinking top gun now). Or was it a completely different sound. I did ask Cobra the question about if the module will mimic that classic Tomcat whine and he said that it will. But of course he may well of been referring to the 'A' model.

There's nothing wrong with the viggen cockpit, there's a certain standard that I know looks good. Looks believable and immerse and the Viggen easily achieves that for me. That being said I really look forward to the mirrors being done (and HB have said that is being worked on). And being a VR user I'm really looking forward to the pilot body being integrated, and I really hope both of these can be released with the F-14, I would be happy to wait a bit longer for that to be a possibility personally.

:megalol: here we go !!!

We were told we wouldn't get it. Certainly not at first anyway, and that they would maybe review the situation at a latter date. So to see this was a massive welcome shock to me. As much as I love the Tomcat as a fighter and so much look forward to dogfights with her, it's so welcome to be able to simulate the role she played in the latter stages of her service life, a role as it turned out she performed excellently. I will spend many hours in this aircraft flying long missions using aerial refuelling to strike targets deep in enemy territory. It's a dream come true. I just wonder if they can manage to pull off the TARPS as well. I will be intrigued to know what it's like to operate and how it's simulated with Jester RIO.

Oh I have no doubts about the quality of the module HB will deliver. Just confused about the 19 Feb bit. However I know Cobra likes his little puzzles for us to solve but doubt he would make it as obvious as this.

:noexpression: ? Confused

You could try loading Oculus Debug tool, remember this needs to be open in the background whilst running DCS world. Select Asynchronous timewarp and set to disable, I also set pixel per display overide to 1.2 to improve jagged edges and disable MSAA in DCS. I find that this sticks my FPS at 30. But it's constant it doesn't drop so it feels pretty smooth, as soon as I set Asynchronous timewarp to auto I find my frames drop to 23. That's what I find on mine anyway. Hope you find something that works.

When I was a kid I just loved the low vis grey cats as that's what they looked like in Top Gun. As I got older though I started to see what everyone used to talk about, that the bright glossy paint schemes of the 70s early 80s were wonderful and it was such a shame they did away with them. But as Atooyi pointed out the big cat could pull off any paint scheme.

Well. Let's just say I definitely agree with you. Jolly Rogers, the Tomcat looked awesome better than anything else to wear those colours. But I did used to think the old F-4s in jolly Rogers colours looked pretty cool as well.
