Very very likely to come in 2017 as well. Perhaps not on day 1 with the aircraft.

 

Has LNK plan to share some news about Forrestal develop? pics, videos, etc and the status of carrier operations, carrier crew, etc, or coming later?

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

That was really unexpected and most welcome news. I too didn't expect a 2017 release. I jsut installed FC3 in order to start training my self for hte F-14 :P but i didn't expect to have that short of a time! Not that i'm complaining, i'm just aware of the complexity of the plane and how long it takes to get it right.

 

I truly hope we get A and B at the same time (as A is platform of choice) but hey, the B will do too. If they do come out separately, buying one will mean we get the other as well?

2017. No exceptions. Unless some cataclysmic event occurs, or serious bodily harm/illness to integral F-14 team members.

 

Does this mean, that the Corsair got pushed behind the F-14 in schedule? I'm way more interested in the F-14 anyways, so this would be good news for me :D

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

I was watching TOP Gun last night, best movie ever.

 

Question on the Tomcat. How are the retractable wings controlled? Automatically or by the pilot?

 

 

The Tomcat uses Automatic sweep for the wings - ie it adjusts to speed to maintain the best flight profile. The wings can also be manually swept by the pilot - they can even be asymmetrically swept - and tests were carried out with asymmetrical wing sweep. :joystick:
