Cobra847 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 There's no rest for the wicked! While we're working hard to iron out Viggen launch issues and add a lot of new exciting content and features to that aircraft, we're also working very hard on every aspect of the F-14, from the flight model, to the deep subsystems, and now finally we're taking our first big steps into the weapon systems. The flight model is rapidly nearing full completion, with current focus being on matching our engine models to the available data. We'll be highlighting all of these features in depth as we move along. :) Working with museums and experts around the world is one of the most important parts of the development process. For DCS: F-14, we've been lucky to enjoy the hospitality of the Tulsa air and Space Center and Hickory Aviation Museum! We are incredibly grateful to be able to spend some time in real F-14 airframes to make sure we really nail every aspect of our simulation. Next month we're wrapping up our final F-14 research trip at Hickory, NC, who are currently working on restoring an F-105 Thunderchief. You can help us say thank you and expand on our modest contribution here: https://www.gofundme.com/2npjqn6s Enjoy some quick shots below. There's plenty more to come! :) LS 1 Nicholas Dackard Founder & Lead Artist Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

Robert31178 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I hate to be the negative guy, but is it really going to smoke like a Rhino? The whole thing is very realistic except for that crucial detail!!! 1
Agremont Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I hate to be the negative guy, but is it really going to smoke like a Rhino? The whole thing is very realistic except for that crucial detail!!! The Viggen smokes too much as well. I wonder if it's tied to the game engine.
