Yep, and we will get a new world map so we can sail the seven seas all the way to the land of the long white cloud.

Great work c@sper - regarding the black panel, prefer the grey

JSGME - is the way to deal with this (not sure if you have looked at it or even used it - or maybe both and don't like it) as it's easier to disable the MOD, run the update, reinstate the MOD. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607&highlight=JSGME+guide

Nice one upuaut - thanks

Well later versions of the Tomcat had the mission mix - but lets just say we get the earlier F-14A (initial version) then there's only the AA stuff to play with - not a whole lot of mission choice there. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the later versions of the Tomcat released but I'm still incredibly doubtful we'll get it from LN - as always, happy to be proven wrong :)

And there you go, didn't take IvanK long to pick up on this thread!

I know one ex delta lady driver who would love to see the Mirage III

Not sure what Dino did - but he's obviously sorted something out considering that Lockheed Martin have included it in their prepar3d product.

Roger that Tango - thanks for the update

Another point to note is if you are comparing the F-14A to the F-15A in terms of radar and interaction on the part of the pilot: the design philosophy for the F-15A was to enable a single operator to manage the systems with the aid of a computer to the highest level possible. It wasn't easy to achieve with the then sate of the art of computers but the design philosophy pushed the project forward. Whilst the F-14A had computers to aid the operators, the Navy and Grumman didn't believe that the role of interception could be managed by a single operator with state of art of computers at the time.

Thanks Chief1942, that was what was doing it...

I have the same issue for the Su-27 and the F-15C

Yes - the post appears to be a little misleading (unintentionally so)

excellent - thanks for that!

Yes, Accu-Sim models a persistent airframe, largely focused around the engine and it's dependant systems. I've been a big fan of theirs for a long time now and the quality is great - it's just a shame it hasn't been done to date in a combat sim where in a career campaign it would be fantastic to have (though as long as all of the AI don't always have brand new aircraft).

How's this going ArturDCS - not enough interest in terms of donations to make it worth while?

It's actually the saitek drivers rather than DCS not working with it. Have you seen these threads, they might be of interest: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=118988 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=129384

A-7B..... Navy aircraft that you would have thought the Marines would fly but didn't...

Homeplate is your home base. Picture - bullseye is a pre defined spot on the map (mission planner, you will see a series of small circles defining the spot). So in your example, the single group is 89 degrees from the bullseye point, for 5 miles (or could be kms depending on what side you are on), height is 20000 ft (or could be meters depending on the side you are on)

I'd say the sound will be there, just as it is for the Dora (though it is rather quiet from within the cockpit)

Cobras comment on it being an aircraft you would have expected the marines to fly does bring to mind the A-7, it's an attack aircraft, single seater, unlike the F-14, which as a fleet air defence fighter which personally I would have never expected the marines to fly.

Crosswind - the best flight sim pedals I've ever had and well worth the price!

+1 absolutely needed (IMHO)

I've got the newer one (for photography) and works like a charm and glad I went with it.

Thanks Lino
