F-14A/B DEVELOPMENT UPDATE #1 – 21/03/2015

[westr]

In my opinion I would not feel the module would be complete if it did not have A-G capabilities modeled. That's just how I would feel.

[tacannav]

You people do great work, I look foward to all of your projects, once all the bugs are worked out of the Mig-21 in my opinion it will amazingly be the one of the best sim aircraft available, and that says a lot considering all the high quality products available.

Well 1/2 of the F-14Bs life was spent as a multi-role strike aircraft and most of the combat missions it flew were strike missions.... Not to mention DCS doesn't have a single multi-role aircraft released(yet). As I said I'll fly it either way but I really hope the incorporate some strike ability...

 

Half of ALL F-14s lives were spent in the A-G role. The F-14B didn't switch first, F-14 squadrons were training and dropping dumb bombs in the early 1990s, even if they didn't do it on cruise until Bosnia with buddy lasing, and then Desert Fox with their own LANTIRN.

Any news on the F-14 project ?

[Cool Breeze]

None yet unfortunately. I'm sure they have their hands full with the Mig. I'm hopeful that once 1.5 makes it out of beta. 2.0 comes up to beta, and receives compatibility with the Georgia map. They'll be able to get an announcement ready.

FYI, LN posted the new year update in this thread: Leatherneck Simulations New Years Eve Update

[punk]

Cobra, when we do get an update could you please let us know if the F-14B will be AG capable. All F-14Bs were strike aircraft from the 90s on(not many F-14Ds were made). I really would love to see that incorporated and many of us are wondering: )… I'll be getting it day one either way I'll just be a little less excited if it's AA only lol

 

According to their website it states, "Ground Attack capability will be included in the -B Tomcat, however the exact sensor package and ordinance available is yet to be decided. It is possible that we will expand the available ordinance or equipment after release to encompass more of the F-14’s later capability."

Check his post history...the past few days he has primarily trolled thread to thread asking Heatblur "When will it be available?!" over and over again in odd ways, or bitching about not having an update, as if he truly believes if he's annoying enough someone will care enough to answer him.

Like Cobra said:

"As mentioned in various community outlets recently; we’re also hoping to do a “Road to Release” type update soon, where we can better update you on the state of the F-14, our current projections for release and what is left to do until we consider the aircraft to be feature complete for Early Access.".....

 

 

 

 

Don´t expect it this year. They don´t know yet, when it will be finished enough for EA. Announcement, PreSale, Prerelease...You really think, you can get it this year? :lol:

Ok...hoped..a bit...yes

No not this year. Check the history of releases.

Early access presale comes out about 30 days prior to early access release.

 

Being as it is Dec. 6 and no presale yet the release will not be this year, maybe Jan.

Why does everyone want Heatblur to rush the product? DCS, I believe has set a reputation for releasing the best product every time. It earned this reputation in large part because of the time it was willing to commit to making this happen instead of getting so wrapped in arbitrary deadlines.

 

Besides, we have plenty of superb modules coming up to occupy our time - AV-8B and F/A-18C.

[Vino]

I do not want harrier or hornet. I want my tomcat!!! :D

[sc_neo]

First i'll have my Tomcat for 1 to 2 years, than a shorter infatuation with the Harrier, then i go for the Hornet! Other distractions are welcome in between :)

I guess you understand that, if u want to eat a steak in a diner and somebody offers you eggs, that it is not a satisfying situation ?
