Stop going off of KIAS is going to go down at higher altitude anyway. Go off of TAS or GS

It was modelled from a real tomcat

If you want to recreate this, just get in the back seat with your pilot putting the speedbrake out.

Draws a line, technically it’s a velocity vector. Used IRL for mapping borders, landmarks, attack headings, etc

Hook a waypoint, change it’s HDG and SPD via the CAP

AWACS datalink refresh rate

Seeing that the refueling probe itself is a pivot in the 3D modeling software, you should in theory be able to select the probe door itself, and hide it/delete it, unless the probe and the door itself are meshed together as one

BuNos are not airframe specific. There can be 12345 on a tomcat, and 12345 on an A-6.

Poking this rather than making a new thread. I think this would be pretty handy for the deployment birds, could be an options menu change, or a mission editor thing

Deadline is the 21st, so if any squadron is interested, you have a little over 48 hours

Probably had a bad spray ring. Better hit up the maintenance O

Fairy certain this is a variant thing. Same thing with early tomcats having different ECM antennas, the front landing gear is a little different. Also, could be a different tire, in which the rim connection point is further into the tire.

Look at any video of a tomcat taxiing, it’s just pure engine whine from the intakes, even at the rear view. Though at a high enough RPM, the engine whine will go away and the exhaust sound will be exponentially louder

About a week from now, much appreciated for the pin

Going to bump this, just in case someone was still interested and this got lost in the depths of the forum

Want to see your squadron featured in the 2021 DCS F-14 Fighter Fling? To get more in depth, a fighter fling was the name for F-14 Tomcat videos that included all squadrons of the United States Navy. Nowadays, it is referred to as "Rhino Ball" videos and "Growler Ball" videos. The plan is to bring this idea to DCS, and unite some of DCS's F-14 Tomcat squadrons together for the ultimate fighter fling. If you are interested, join the discord server and follow the simple steps listed. If you want to know a little more about fighter flings, go watch this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g22g1fRR44U https://discord.gg/qwERSrFQDx

Comms settings will go client side unless the server requires real comms. So, if you have easy comms, and the server has real comms, you will get real comms.

What were your parameters

It was the first 4th gen fighter. The hud is accurate.

In theory, the tomcat could, probably not a TF-30 cat

Did it get reverted back to the old guidance? Just 2 patches ago, it was perfect in that the TTI was when it went active, which was set by the TGT size switch

Over the moon is an understatement. Over Saturn is more like it

The cone gimbals around as needed. It’s a continuous wave.

Let's gaze upon some munitions that will never touch the belly of the F-14 in DCS for a long time without mods. Come back in 10 years, and check to see if the docs are unclassified yet.
