  1. They do indeed.
  2. You guys are busy little bees...do you ever sleep? :P
  3. From the horses mouth indeed... That definitely answers my question. Thank you for the reply. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  4. True, but for how long? My experiences with delta wings in the past have made me wince in that regard. As I said before, I'm no Tomcat professional, but STR was purported to be the F-14's forte due to the massive lifting surface(s) it possessed. If I was in the front seat of an F-14 and knew that I was about to tangle with someone, I would want every advantage my mount could give me. I just don't see that being possible at full wing sweep, hence the reason I questioned whether or not it would be a sound idea to override the CADC and force the wings to remain at 20 degrees. As always, if I'm wrong about something then, Tomcat experts, please school me. It's at least half of the reason I visit this forum.
  5. This the question that I truly want the answer to. Realistic though it may be, it is still a simulation, and as such, can never be a total mimicry of the real thing. What a real F-14 pilot had to contend with in the way of his aircraft's limitations may not necessarily apply to us. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  6. Perhaps using the manual override might possibly be considered a viable workaround? You know, like how the mach sweep computer SAYS your wings should be at a certain sweep angle relative to your airspeed...except they aren't because you're making that decision instead of the airplane? Of course, I'm a long way from being an expert on the Tomcat, so I haven't the slightest idea if that would buy you any kind of advantage.
  7. I would certainly buy an F-14D if Heatblur saw fit to offer one. It IS the definitive Turkey, after all. However, will I cross my fingers and pray for the 'D' model? (meh) Not really. I'm already getting a GE powered Tomcat. That alone is enough to satisfy me. If, down the road, Cobra and friends want to continue to expand their F-14 module(s), I would ask only for a Sparrowhawk HUD. Anything else is simply icing on the proverbial cake.
  8. Count me in.
  9. That was sexy. Can't wait to see the burner plume animation for the TF30s. Excellent work, Heatblur.
  10. The F-14 wears anything well, but I've always preferred the "aggressor" livery used by VF-74.
