Cool Breeze Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 It's a single module that includes two aircraft and a map. But the initial release will stagger the components. So you will get the A first, then the B and then a map (this is only an example order, not the official one). But it's all still one module sold as a single package for $60 or whatever.

This sounds highly plausible. :thumbup: Leatherneck mentioned that they plan to separate the modules in-game and that one my be released a while before the other. No mention of whether they would be sold as one package, though I bet they will be sold together. I also agree that the F-14A will likely come out first. I don't think the F-14A has any extra features (perhaps more complicated engine modeling) that won't also be present on the F-14B, so the B might be a bit more work with the A-G stuff. Plus, it doesn't make sense to release the more capable aircraft first, many people might not pay as much attention to the subsequent release. That said, I'm looking forward more to the F-14A (though it's a close call)...so I might be biased in hoping it is released first. ;) -Nick

THUG024 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Personally, I say drop all other priorities and get these Tomcats in the mix. This will be huge for DCS in general and will sell like hot cakes. Only thing I see giving issues is carrier ops...needs revamped
tony3d Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 leatherneck said we release beta version in first half of 2016, i think we should waiting for another 5 month ...
FromSwedenWithLove Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) F14 Name under cockpit door I wonder if there is anybody that knows if there will be a future that you can change the pilots names under the F14 Tomcats cockpit door so it will be yours and your friends name instead of an random or nothing else? If you dont know what i mean its the two names under the cockpit door in this picture v v v https://www.google.se/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiOste_wtnKAhVFkSwKHcSRA0gQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aircraftrecognition.co.uk%2Ff-14.html&bvm=bv.113034660,d.bGg&psig=AFQjCNHfJ5Hw9JNbtc4YmkI1GLgm_KlXdw&ust=1454517584395296 Edited February 2, 2016 by FromSwedenWithLove
TomCatMucDe Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 Late end of second half easier to say late end of the year :D As much as am I looking forward to the Tomcat, I don't think they would be releasing it at the same time as the Hornet. It wouldnt make sens from sales point of you. My horse is beginning of 2017.
Manuel_108 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 My horse is beginning of 2017. Sounds reasonably realistic.

In real life though pilots and RIO's most often flew F-14's that didn't have their name on it. This was because they flew what was available rather than having their own personal aircraft assigned to them.
NeilWillis Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 If you follow the threads on the forum regarding skinning, you can easily customise a skin yourself, and add your name to the side of the cockpit. It does get a bit complicated when it comes to multiplayer however because all the participants need all the customised skins.
Donut Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) My horse is beginning of 2017. 2017?!?! Possible of course but per the New Years update from LNS, "We're quite optimistic about an F-14 materializing somewhere in the second half of 2016". They also stated, "we are behind our initial projected schedule (H2 2015)". So with that said, I want to be optimistic and split the difference and hope we see an early second half of 2016 release! I have never anticipated a flight sim release more than the Tomcat. Edited February 4, 2016 by =BJM= i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"
Reflected Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 This is one of the most anticipated piece of software for me... A long time F-14 fan, I spent countless hours playing Fleet Defender. The Tomcat coming to DCS is the best news ever, and it will be really tough to wait until the end of this year or possible the beginning of the next one. Can`t wait to see proper carrier ops implemented either. Until then I fly Aerosoft`s Tomcat in FSX with Tacpack. Very well done stuff, but unfortunately it`s still FSX.

Manuel_108 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I want to be optimistic. That's the hardest part. I have never anticipated a flight sim release more than the Tomcat. I feel ya.
harf4ng Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Will this Tomcat be mulltiplayer ready, with someone in the rear seat as well? Also, would be fine to be able to have a AI in the rear seat, that will give us vocal info or misc things... Favorite modules : Huey, F-86F, F14 and P-51D Quest 2, RTX 3080, i7 10700K, 16 Gb of RAM, Pro Flight Trainer PUMA helicopter setup, Warthog HOTAS with two force sensitive stick, custom cockpit and a GS-Cobra dynamic seat.

A: We hope to include this feature on release. We consider it an essential selling point of this module, and a personal dream of our own. Q: What is JESTER AI, exactly? A: It is a proprietary system that primarily simulates the RIO crew member. It will allow you to quickly and efficiently fly and fight in the F-14, while minimizing your workload. JESTER AI will be fully voiced and highly streamlined. The system will be designed to be moduler, and can thus be quickly adapted to other multi-seat aircraft in development. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube •
