Interestingly, I just did some guns only dogfighting and it "felt" the F14 performs better with the fuel tanks on... No hard evidence, but anyone tested this? -Alerax

Hi Beppe- 1.2nm aft from the boat is the max distance to not be long in the groove. -Alerax

Hey Skull, the call for channel 13 is for comm channel (LSO callouts) not ILS channel. I suggest going to the Carrier Information Menu to get the ILS channel. -Alerax

Colmillo- can you send me your tacview file? To get signal Charlie call, you have to be in between 10 and 11 o’clock at 4-6 NM from the Carrier with less than 500 feet/min of altitude change. Can you check if you meet these criteria? -Alerax

Hey Chaser, this might be a PC issue. Have you tried unchecking the hide file extension? -Alerax

Hey FunkyFranky - thanks man. This is what I was missing. Originally pegged the AoA to 10 degrees (= 15 AoA units), which wasn't that far off. Updated the v2.5.1 to incorporate the conversion. Thanks! Alerax

All- v2.5 updated. Let me know how you guys like it. Note that the F-14B AoA calculations is a bit weird. Somehow, the aircraft's AoA does not match in the game AoA. Will tweak this as I fly the pattern more. Enjoy -Alerax

Mariner, you are too kind. This is just a small clean up, nothing compared to what Heatblur has given us- an incredibly satisfying and detailed module to fly!

Hi mkiii- turn knobs are a bit finicky to work with from the user side. It's typically something that needs to addressed by the developer (at least that's my understanding so far).

Ah yes, however it only works for spring-loaded switches where when you release, it returns to center. Now speaking of that, I should update some of the spring loaded switches accordingly (e.g., nose strut). It would be great if there is a way to code switch increments where the position holds (e.g., lights switches, taxi switch). I think this can only be done by the dev.

Hi all- I've been a bum and never really updated you guys on the progress. Just spent this past weekend updating the script for the F-14B and attempting to output a flight path tracker for post-flight review. Going to send this out for testing this week and if all goes well, will release the v2.4. -Alerax p.s. If anyone is interested to test, message me and we can connect on discord. I'll max at a couple of people.

Sure! I only grouped them under "-Modifications" as to not get it mixed with the official keybindings. Also, if you know how to make toggle switches, please share! -Alerax

Completely agree with OP. Until Heatblur implements all the controls, see my post for pilot additional keybindings. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235493

I feel you. For now, use this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235493

Hopefully, Heatblur officially adds these keybindings.
