Maybe a dumb question here, but how to show the glide path for traping? I don't follow the same path on every landing, rather do it by "instinct" or "feeling"... Which leads to either bolter, successful trap (but Jester talks about bolter...), or crash...

I almost bougth it a while ago, good on me I didn't! They were asking US$1500 at this time...

Yup!

That's gonna be a great add to the tactical aspect! Will also force some pilots to fly less "instinctively"...

Totally agree with you guys, simple photos will be great

Could be even usable in SP campaigns, to unlock some details.on next mission

Ok, thanks for your service and the time to reply!

Oh thanks for the great info! Did you work on all 3 variants while in VF-101?

Wow, another Tomcat thing learned! Didn't know TARPS had navigation system in it! Just thought nav came from the F-14 Photo recce limited capacity is OK for me

Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks! Bird seems to be more precise with them off

Might be a dumb question, but how to turn SAS on? Am.going crazy trying to AAR... Managed to get the autorisation to connect message, but I go all over the place trying to connect... (am absolutely not relaxed, think it quite stressfull in fact, way more that traps...) Thanks in advance!

Roger that, will check asap

Bindings?

Nope. Problem, in my case, comes when I ask him the weapon selection through the wheel. When I do this, I automatically land in the RIO seat. He can select the stations I ask for, but I just land in the RIO seat, dunno why

In the missions tanker is, unfortunately, always a 135... But the Devildog mission is definitely a cool one! Will try to ease on the throttles (pilot is damn stupid when you're in the backseat btw, he crashed more than once! Went directly to the ground instead of getting higher after cat shot (went in the backseat about 30sec, once gears and flaps are up), to prepare the bombs so I don't have to mess with them during the mission) and when in CAS(was dealing with bombing setting)

Yup, saw this one numerous times... But always struggle with that damned KC135, since it's not regular, neither on speed nor altitude... I only managed to get to pre-contact once... In around 60 tries... Got to successfully trim my speed on the tanker's...

Lol yup Also still have to try AAR, still unsuccessful on this, either too fast, too slow or airplane being all over but on the right place...

Ok, restarted the mission just today. Successfully bombed 4 out of the 4 targets, and shot down the 2 choppers (loaded 2 AIM-54Cs instead of the AIM-7s). Problem, ran out of fuel ust after having dropped the last bomb (on the T-55). Tried to land engineless, successfully touched down... Just to hit an house near the road...

Yup, Master Arm is the red and white cover with a white 3-positions button, right?(right hand side of the console) As dor going on the back seat, I automatically go when I select the option on Jester mwnu

Finally got it. But I have trouble to release those damn bombs... HUD is set on AG Jumped in the back seat and selected GBU-16 Told Jester to select Stations 3-6 Hit the ordnance release knob, nothing happens Played with the attk mode knob several times, bomb go well in manual, but not in the other modes Is there something I forgot to do?

Hi Gents and HB, Are there any plans to develop the TARPS pod one day, and give us more option for the bird's loadout? As for TARPS, all new build F-14B and F-14D are wired for, as well as a good portion of F-14A and converted B/D Tomcats (all F-14s can carry both the LTS and TARPS together on ferry flights, but are wired for either one only at once. That's also because of this that pairs of Tomcats flew TARPS missions wirh one LTS and one TARPS bird, the first usually being used to aid the TARPS bird to spot the recon area). Since LTS is being implemented, TARPS would be a great add too, since TARPS missions were all important, even in the F-14 community! Would also add a great deal of tactical use of the aircraft! As for loadout, we're quite limited in the rearm menu. For instance, you don't have LGBs with the LTS pod, only dumb bombs, and no mix is available. VF-2 did a cool mix over Afghanistan (if memory serves), by having a jet loaded with both TARPS and dumb bombs, along with AIM-9 and AIM-54 (again if memory serves). In the Watching for the Devilsdog mission, I would have liked to load my VF-11 jet with the LTS and an AIM-54 along the GBU-16s and AIM-9s already loaded, or have a mix of bombs, and choose which would be loaded on what station Cheers! Edit: For extensive loadout choices, I finally discovered that you can choose station by station what to load by right clicking on each station. Too bad the LTS is not usable!

Tried last night. Took off, then arrived over the first team (with the burning tank wreck). Been in a left orbit for a while, but nothing happened, surprisingly, where I straffed the other day... Maybe a bug? I've veen hit further north, and lost my radar and steering, so I decided to RTB, and crashed on the deck...

Just a small correction mate, all versions of the Tomcat were able to carry both the TARPS and LTS, for ferry flights. All TARPS capable birds, including the Deltas, were wired to operate only either the TARPS or the LTS pods

Oh ok! So how does it work? Just have to tell Jester to select 1 GBU-16, and drop the thing, or is there a specific procedure?
