Incoming!

That's an exceptionally odd bug. We'll have to procure a Vega based GPU to test this I think. Thanks for the report!

Hotfix in progress. So annyoing. Sorry everyone. :(

Thank you!!

VR is just a struggle for developers in general. In the desire to be realistic, some things simply become too unreadable in VR. Please give us feedback on what particular items ar a bit of a pain and we'll make sure to alleviate as we go.

Hey guys. 8-12GB of RAM and a 970 (3.5GB of effective VRAM) is unfortunately significantly below the standard of high performance gaming today. We recommend 16Gb for SP or 32GB for MP in the F-14 at present. I know this looks like we're passing the buck; but there's a limit to how much we can optimize a 2 person, animated crew, complex jet. We'll continue to try and improve performance of course!

Confirmed. Completely new bug that was not there when we went gold. Investigating!

We launch today. Thank you to everyone for your support. We truly hope you enjoy the F-14 today, and we'll be standing by to work hard in order to make this the best F-14 you could ever have hoped for. We are humbled by your excitement and support, Sincerely, HB

On a 1:1 basis versus the Hornet, expect 7-15% less performance. When placing 20 Tomcats on the Tarmac versus 20 Hornets and looking at them from a distance, expect the Tomcat scene to perform 70-200% better. We wanted to run detailed benchmarks but we've ran out of time unfortunately. Expect it to be more resource intensive across the board. Generally, we tried to design the product to be truly next-gen and futureproof.

Correct :) The screens only output green.

It works here- but you definitely have to wait a bit. The Chrome PDF loading bar is misrepresentative.

There is a sound that the throttle makes when you go into the AB detent. Listen to that :)

Yes.

4+ Years and 5788 commits later, we've gone Gold for Early Access of the Heatblur F-14. Huge thanks to each and every one of you, and in particular our SMEs and other people who have contributed. We wouldn't be here without you. See you in the skies on Wednesday!! Sincerely, Team Heatblur

Our sounds are from an F110 engined -B. The statement on YT was a mere observation.

It was supposed to be temporary.

About 6gb total.

Thanks QuiGon for chiming in. Once the F-14 releases on March 13th, our team will be solely focused on bringing the Viggen (and F-14) out of EA through a series of RC patches. What music are you referring to? :)

The panels sticking out of the fuselage will be fixed- but not parts missing towards the back. That is a performance saving measure.

Not a bug. LoD-ing in action. That's what happens if you move the F1 camera to the RIO cockpit without actually switching seats. Not possible to do anymore without changing 6dof limits in Views.lua.

Awesome screenshots! :)

Working and implemented since years.

LANTIRN is fully functional and included on Day 1. Only thing missing is JESTER operating LANTIRN, so you'll need to use it yourself or fly in Multicrew in MP. I'll try to post a list tomorrow.
